  1. I want to but am having troubles connecting to PSN. Hopefully see yaz on the other side.
  2. I think I'm going to be sick :P And @Daft, call it a date.
  3. Believe me Sheikz, I'd have been on that shit immediately were it not for my lack of connection, there was no way I was going to play the game without seeing those beautiful ghosts floating around the set. I'm now online though.
  4. Having panned my politics exam I plan to wreck faces on this later. when I say panned I mean dribbled through with little effort but, fuck, who's caring anyway?

    Tumblr

    I'm calling bullshit on that one although I see what you're saying. It's easy to make the mistake of differentiating between Twitter and Tumblr by viewing them as word and image-based respectively. The function of the two platforms is more disparate than that. Words are as timeless as pictures, at least the meaning behind them can be. I'd argue Tumblr is predominantly pop-culture anyway. Stumbled across an F Scott Fitzgerald quote on Tumblr which has cropped up a few times on my dash now, and deservedly so: How does he do it? Everything there is plain to see and yet I can't demystify its genius.
  6. I was contemplating getting the £20 Uncharted mappy thingamie schmitz, but Dark Souls at £15 is a major temptation. http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/ps3/dark-souls/10355877.html
  7. Is this the one Yahtzee championed recently?
  8. Yeah hopefully I will be I'm such a power-weapon whore, registered a 19-2 on airstrip TDM and my kills were almost exclusively RPG/Hammer/Shotty related. I'm not decided on long-guns. I think any preference is largely an individual thing, more a fun-factor choice rather than a practical one despite all rifles very much being technically different. By that I mean your scores wouldn't vary much over time were you to use the G-Mal, AK or M9. With that said, if the AK + Accuracy is as lethal as it is in my dreams I can see myself plonking for that. The less said about the FAL the better.
  9. Nice to be back in the flow of things! Also what were you guys saying about the shoulder aim flip? Is it only in the campaign or can you adjust it for multiplayer too?
  10. /press escape as you load a page, or turn off JavaScript.
  11. Who let the Wii board in? Things got unintelligible all of a sudden.
  12. I read back through some of the Unch3 thread and have to say I agree with you on the story side of things. Yahtzee is spot on in this piece:

    I don't fully share his hate for the Westernised 'banter' as he might call it, I personally think some of the characters can be funny and likeable, but in this they weren't taken anywhere new. The narrative was just empty and cobbled together and didn't really pass any strong messages across. We didn't really learn anything aside from some of the characters cottony history. What made Nate's ridiculous desire to hunt so much more extreme and frowned upon in this number? The characters went through hell twice before and act as if this adventure is completely unique and particularly feverish in comparison to past events.

  13. What outright failures doth one speak of? Narrative or gameplay oriented? Heavy Rain is the only game I've played that has really given me an adrenaline rush, and that's a huge compliment. You shouldn't have doubts about trying it.
  14. I'm coming to the end of the Syria portion of the single player. Not really that impressed with any of it so far if I'm honest. The map thing is also a shame, I mean I won't mind revisiting some of the old maps, but The Fort and Ice Cave were pretty shite. It's just as well the multiplayer is awesome, hopefully ND will try a bit harder with future DLC. It feels like I've been mugged off for the Unch2 map packs in a way, and paying for material that launched with it two years ago is myeh. Edit: turns out it gets pretty fun once Syria's over.
  15. I don't understand it either, the controller is diabolical. Each new gimmick is a new obstacle to the game.
  16. http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/sonys-kaz-hirai-no-playstation-4-at-e3/ Sony's Kaz Hirai: no PlayStation 4 at E3 I sincerely hope he isn't bullshitting. I don't think he is. This time.
  17. And who said games weren't original anymore?
  18. That was nice to see, sent shivers down my spine.
  19. Awesome. I will be on intermittently, partly because of Sherlock, partly because of matrices.
  20. Moar chatz later? Yesterday/this morn vaz guut.
  21. I almost totalled myself.
  22. Agree on all counts, the reunion scene was endearing as anything.
  23. Eels always look like they've just told a joke and are waiting for a reaction
  24. Well maybe that's precisely what the NE team needs: some skill. Hoho gentlemen!
  25. Played this for about 3/4 hours online, it's absolutely fantastic, better than I remembered the beta being. A good range of guns, fast paced, more frantic and opportunities for more play styles. It's a bit of a n00b booster I imagine but the one that shows you the power weapons is more useful than I thought. In the matches I played I pretty much just ran for the T-Bolt the entire time. Man am I whore with the T-Bolt. It's so fun to use and nothing makes you feel more boss-like than using it to quick-scope someone from close range.
