  1. Watching other people play games

    I like to watch...
  2. (IGN.com)

    That's pretty great. Well done IGN.
  3. Watching other people play games

    Maybe i'm fucked up but I love watching my sister playing games, especially the Sims 2. When I watched her play Uncharted 2 it was pretty unbearable because she would spend like 10 minutes exploring every single nook and cranny of every single inch of every room. That's not the fucked up part. Here's the fucked up part, I love to have somebody watch me play games. There's something about playing a game while somebody watches that makes me enjoy a game a lot more, maybe it's like I am, in a way, performing for that person. I don't know, anybody want to give a rational explanation?
  4. Happy Birthday!

    My birthday was June 1st. I got some pretty sweet stuff. CS5 Master Collection + 64bit Windows 7 Persona 4 Shure SM58 Microphone $20 iTunes Card $50 In no particular order.
  5. That remix fucking destroyed me, I had to listen to that like 10 times back to back. I think that's your best one yet.
  6. Plug your shit

    I found it funny... But stuffing your backlog full of hot scoops is just horrifying.
  7. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    The Wii Wii Peripheral. What? The Wii is a toy and therefore needs to be emulated as a peripheral for the Wii. Also, it enhances the stupid name.
  8. Maybe never. Maybe they're just making you wait long enough to make you crazy and then they give you the next hit and then you become even more addicted because it felt so good after such a long time. Maybe tomorrow.
  9. Deadly Premonition

    That was also my assumption about the zombies, I wonder why . Not sure if that needed spoiler tags but thanks to Snoogle i'm being extra careful now.
  10. Persona 4 has a pretty good soundtrack and Tropico 3's soundtrack is awesome. Peggle has a great soundtrack in that it is nothing but Ode to Joy. Also, World of Warcraft's soundtrack is perfectly crafted, most people don't really pay any attention to it which is one of the reasons that it is perfect. The worst soundtrack ever would have to be Far Cry 2, why even have music? So stupid.
  11. Anyone Remember?

    Chris "Space Boost" Remo?
  12. Anyone Remember?

    Which will become a chair.
  13. Life

    Well, thanks to the Giantbomb Endurance Runs (I HAVE NO REGRETS!) my usage is once again neraly up and I have to wait until the 8th to use the internet again (This is on 3G). Did a few tests and I learned that I need to hate avoid GB videos like the plague where ever possible because 1 hour of low quality streaming footage uses 500mb of usage... wow.
  14. Anyone Remember?

    Not really, can't you say the same for this thread? I'm not going to post the list or look at it, it's purely so I have a reference for anyone who asks when some moment occurred so I can always have the answers.
  15. Deadly Premonition

    Oopsie.
  16. Anyone Remember?

    Boost reading the Batman thing is so funny I almost puked. I have nothing to do for the next 12 days so i'm going to listen to every episode back to back and write down every major/hilarious event, the things I do for you people...
  17. Deadly Premonition

    Oh god, I just watched VJ 37, Emily!
  18. Deadly Premonition

    I don't know, I feel like watching all of it, even the undeniably boring stuff, makes it even more awesome when you finally get to the end and think "Holy shit, what a journey" as opposed to thinking "I'm a fucking baby for skipping the shit stuff".
  19. Who wants Red Dead Redemption?

    Well since people are giving away shit, if you want a PS2 copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour (No instruments, just the game) or a PS2 copy of Burnout: Dominator let me know. I fully realize no one will want these games but who knows, there may be someone weird enough to want a copy and the Idle Forums are a great place to meet weird people!
  20. Red Dead Redemption

    I'm going to rent this tomorrow for my PS3, i'll give some impressions later.
  21. Technology in classes/university.

    About paper not being able to record audio, I saw a notebook in a store here that records audio so you can write your ultra-fast notes on the paper in class then take it home and replay the audio and take better notes. Also, everything you write on the paper is recorded and you can transfer that, along with the audio, on to your computer.
  22. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    Vh5LfAu1EMI Memories...
  23. What if renting/borrowing became extinct?

    I asked the woman who owns Pulsar, she said they get rental copies at a low price. Doesn't sound like a good deal for game devs...
  24. Deadly Premonition

    While I love the whistle theme (Awesome version Thumbs!) the game itself looks terrible, not even so bad it's good, just bad. I do like watching the Endurance Run though and VJ are pretty good at it and add some real humor, if you get the time I heartily encourage you to watch the P4 Endurance Run, possibly the best time i've ever spent online. Getting all nostalgic about it now, i'm even seeing it in slow-motion and in black and white in my head. My life is a movie apparently.
  25. What if renting/borrowing became extinct?

    It would change absolutely, completely and 100% NOTHING about my buying habits. I rarely buy a game in store and mostly just use Steam now. I have never sold a game, my collection ranges from about 1995-2008 and my Steam collection is about 20 games. I am already demanding on quality and price because I have no job and money isn't too easy to come by. The only thing that would happen is that I would be a little nostalgic for my local game renting store 'Pulsar'. I don't really rent games there anymore and I only ever rented about 4 or 5 but I still remember it extremely well and it informed a lot of my early game choices and shaped what kind of games I play today. As I said, I don't rent games anymore but I do feel kind of guilty because they clearly don't get any business and I don't want them to shut down. Problem is that the games that I would want to rent are things like MW2 for the PS3 (For a psychology experiment I want to try on my sister who is only a little bit into gaming) which they don't rent (I think) because you need an account for it. /self indulgent wall of text
