  1. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Ryan Davis of Giantbomb.com has this theory that Kanye West's song "Power" could score any trailer for anything. yTGufnVLp8k
  2. Far Cry 3

    I expect it'll be a far more rigid, forgiving, mainstream title. Sadly, I don't want that.
  3. Far Cry 3

    Who's with me? I'm quitting games forever.
  4. Far Cry 3

    Interesting.
  5. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    Until I see footage of someone actually playing it I can't believe this game exists.

    Most of the trash talk nowadays is: A. In FPS games, where the over competetive dicks tend to roam or; B. Done in passive agressive ways. I can tell you that competetive CoD gamers trash talk a lot, but mostly within their own team, not at their opponents. When there is trash talking in public it tends to be very subdued and petty. The more money becomes involved, and the more high level sponsors have to be appeased the more the trash talking dissapears. I think that on the whole, even at the lower levels, competetive gaming manners have improved from the Quake and UT days.

    Dare I expose the perpetrator?! trololololol

    Seems plausible. Theoretically you could call down a MULE to repair a mech unit during a battle, players will tend to drop a MULE somewhere stupid if they want to show off with it. I heard about a game where a player was winning and decided to /dance his units and it caused him to lose the game because the other player attacked while his units were dancing.

    Manner. In Starcraft lingo you drop the s, don't ask me why.

    You don't GG until you've lost or the other player has GG'd to concede. (Although a lot of times in Starcraft 2 people quit the game before the other player has a chance to type it.) If you GG the other player expecting them to concede that's bad manner because it implies that you knew better than they did that they'd lost. If you don't GG when you leave a game that's bad manner because it implies that you didn't think the other player was any good. It's basically an expected pleasantry, even if you thought the game was terrible you have to GG to show that you respect the other player. Idra has a bad reputation for being a rage quity, direspectful jerk, and for good reason. You might also see GG WP, this is for when you think your opponent played especially well, it means Good Game Well Played. The other thing you must do is GLHF at the start of the game, it's another expected pleasantry meaning Good Luck Have Fun. You'll also sometimes see GG GL or GG HF or HF GG or any other combination of anonyms, but whatever you use at the start, you still have to GG at the end of the game.
  12. Far Cry 3

    Google led me here. Can't really be attributed to anyone as far as I can tell.
  13. Far Cry 3

    Calling the huge game twist: I hope i'm wrong, but it's the obvious choice. If you want to Inception that twist you could even say that

    Give it a chance to get funny. dJ8w9g17Y0s On the Idra front, here's Incontrol talking about it. _JbxxOy5HqA Also, what happened directly after that first video. 3JS9eCHUtTw ALSO, you can watch the entire game .

    www.egidra.com Such a dick.
  16. Far Cry 3

    Probably because you were scrolling downward and then you stopped to look at that text and the Guitar Hero illusion kicked in. Anyway, boom. Hopefully I didn't misinterpret your data Erkki.

    I went there once. I hated it.

    Hacked again!
  20. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    I'd argue that that is spoiler-ish. I wouldn't want that incredible line ruined for me. The page itself says: "Warning: possible Portal 2 spoilers."
  21. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    Been getting into a lot of weird Japanese music lately, but this song really tops it off nicely. Sounds like every Sega game's menus since 2000, except better. ZWHrlm_qjos
  22. Batman: Arkham City

    They've clearly studied at the anime school of cinematography.
  23. E3 2K11

    DISCLAIMER: This is what Orvidos does to make a funny. He's not really going to kill you and everything you stand for because you used a term he found slightly unsavory. On E3: I have never really even known where to watch the conference streams, even if I wanted to. Which I don't, because i'm not going to sit here and watch some business guy walk onto the stage with "I Got A Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas playing and then listen to him talk about shit for 3 hours. I'll just wait for the journalists to do their jobs, thanks.
