To be fair, Half-Life is still great. It's just that Halo was never that good to begin with.

Molyneux has gone on record saying that the full game will not be on rails. Of course, he says a lot of things.

But ironically enough, not too lazy to travel to the UK. But really, posting the pictures here would have been pretty pointless if we can just click on a link and see them all on Facebook.

Decided to take a chance and imported a couple of RPGs that I didn't even know existed until a couple of weeks ago. Well... I had seen the box art for Radiant Historia before, but I didn't know what the game was about and I certainly had no idea that it was supposed to be good. It's always so exciting discovering new games! With a combined playtime of 80+ hours, these games should keep my brother busy for a while.

It reminded me of Caprica until everyone started dying.

I wish Beavis and/or Butthead would be quiet. :p

You could say that about almost anything, though. I never play online multiplayer, so there really doesn't need to be any multiplayer modes in games as far as I'm concerned. And then there are people who only play multiplayer, so if it were up to them, there'd be no singleplayer games/modes. :p I never understood the hate for achievements/trophies, since caring about them is entirely optional. I have a comparatively meager ~10,000 GS (and something like 300 trophies on the PS3). I have a friend who eclipsed my trophy count within two months, but he plays a lot of mediocre games and grinds a lot just to get trophies. I play through games once and rarely go out of my way to get achievements/trophies, not to mention spreading my gaming out over three current-generation consoles, two handhelds, the PC, as well as playing quite a few older games. It's just a number. It doesn't really mean anything. There are so many other things to complain about (region locking, tacked-on multiplayer modes to the detriment of singleplayer, publishers rarely wanting to take a chance on something that isn't an FPS, the second-hand market and how publishers are dealing with it, day-one DLC, gaming "journalists"...) that complaining about something as unimportant as achievements/trophies seems pretty pointless.

As someone who has never watched Beavis and Butthead (and hopefully never will, because... wow, that looks terrible), I just have to ask: does Beavis and/or Butthead spend every episode chuckling after every single line?

And some of us prefer not to watch trailers and have a bunch of stuff spoiled before the new season starts.

Happy birthday to everyone and anyone.

Maybe she sat on it?

It's not racist if that's what they're really like. My view of people from Egypt may be slightly influenced by video games and episodes of Saturday morning cartoons where the main characters traveled back in time to ancient Egypt. I look forward to the next Qinc story, where Qinc and Ween will travel to Egypt to teach those savage Egyptians about the civilized ways of the British.

I guess I can see how implying that all Egyptians are homophobic could be offensive. Ah, you could always denounce this story later and blame the racism on the ignorance of youth.

Maybe this'll end up being your Tintin! Your rude, foul-mouthed Tintin. At least it should have less racism.

It sucks when you have a story you want to tell and it has all these amazing parts you know people are going to love... ... And then when you're telling the story you need to actually get to those amazing parts and it feels like everything else is taking forever. I wouldn't worry too much about the introduction being long. I think it's been fine so far. Out of curiosity, how long will Qinc be? I'm guessing you don't know exactly, but do you have a ballpark estimate?

Oh, I encourage hiding in your geek cave. Just make sure to bring more than one game series with you. :p

Haha, doing cosplay for one of your own characters is so lame. I love it. :p (Next up: cosplaying as Qinc!)

Because I'd rather he play something that he hasn't already played several times before. I want him to expand his horizons.

He's worse at this than you are! Wait, no one's worse at this than you are. :p

Faaalcon... guess screenshot correctly! :p Yes, Heavenly Sword. Though I did say "worthwhile" and "during the first year of the PlayStation 3". I don't think many people would bring it up as a big reason to get a PS3 anymore. ROUND OVER.

I think you take your co-op platformers way too seriously. :p I got through the game just fine playing it with my brother. Yes, we accidentally killed each other quite a few times, but that's part of the fun when you're playing co-op and the game hands out 1-ups like they were candy, so it's not like the occasional accidental murder is really going to keep you from finishing the game. I do agree that pausing the game for half a second whenever someone died was annoying, though, and it's something that should be fixed in the next game, but it hardly ruined the co-op.

No. The thread is still on the first page on the Other Consoles subforum, so there are really not that many games it could be.

They made it because John Lasseter is unreasonably obsessed with the universe he's created. Though it probably doesn't hurt that the merchandise for the first Cars sold so well.

All of them?

... I bumped up the thread for this game less than a month ago.
