The Bard

I invited the girl I went on a date with a couple weeks ago to see the Lion King musical with me when she's next in London (we're both embarrassingly into Disney), and she's invited me up to Durham to stay for a couple days. She is pretty much a slightly younger, prettier, female version of me. Also, our parents have been close friends since high school. This is obviously going to end in an unquantifiable disaster.

@Rummy, that suit looks tailored on you. I can never get a whole suit that fits me well on account of being ridiculously wide at the shoulders in proportion to my height. Also I think I might be the only person who looks more haggard with a suit on

Looked technically impressive, but the animations were still stiff as fuck. I hope that's something the next generation goes some way to addressing, because the disparity between how realistic characters look and the verisimilitude of their movements is going to be a sticking point.

Fuck, now I want to play Bioshock again.

How incredible would that be?

They still own the franchise, and it's pretty popular as well as being a critical darling. Franchises are traded between studios all the time anyway, there's no real reason why they couldn't do it, plus it's always been a system showcase. If they want show off how pretty something can look on their new system, there's no better avenue for that than a new Wipeout.

I just want it to launch with Wipeout with 12 new tracks and music consisting largely of 90s Chemical Brothers. Day one purchase. Bliss.

Wouldn't call your face straight teeebs.

Go take a look at Crysis 3. Then tell me with a straight face that the next generation isn't going to blow your mind.

I think Wii is probably the first real, out and out griefer I've encountered on this forum.

The thing is, the N64 carts weren't a result of Nintendo frugally economising; the cartridges were significantly more expensive to produce than optical disks. The Gamecubes small disks were a result of wanting to curb piracy, so that's pretty much valid, but you're sidestepping the argument here. The Gamecube was not only significantly advantaged over the PS2 in terms of graphical power, but it had almost twice the processing clock speed. Perhaps it didn't help their corporate bottom line, but it did produce things like Wind Waker and Metroid Prime; both games that wouldn't have really been possible on the best selling home console of their time, and also both that are symbolic of a time where Nintendo took creative chances on big budget titles, albeit within the scaffolding of already established brands.

Real talk? He has a point when he calls her a shitty writer.

Conceptually and in actuality, the 3DS is pretty naff though. I've had one since launch day, and I've played my DSLite about twenty times more frequently than I have my 3DS. I'm done with the soulless reiterations of stale, stiff and rotten Nintendo franchises.

Yeah I just played the Multiplayer Beta on PC, and spent most of the time just walking around gawping at textures rather than playing the actual game. The Hunter mode is genius.

You mean the vaguely Mediterranean looking guy with the fair bit of chin scruff? THAT DUDE WAS LOOKING AT YOUR ASS.

Danny Brown is one of the freakiest, most entertaining, amusing, bizarre and inventive rappers around. "No, literally, shit all on your mixtape, wipe with the credits, leave stains on the jewel case." "Still fuckin' with them freak hoes, Stank pussy smellin' like cool ranch Doritos"

I think it's a wicked idea, I've done it myself in the past, although that wasn't out of necessity or anything. People are confused for the first five minutes but it becomes natural pretty quick. I've seen you in real life, so I can safely say you'd rock the Jason Statham look like a badass. Edit: holy fuck, after scoping your Facebook pic that Jason Statham comment was right on the mark.

Alternatively, shave it all and let it shine. Make up for it by growing a rocking chin strap.

The demo was too much fun. I sort of wish Raiden's movement's had a little bit more of a Ninja Gaiden vibe going on to be honest though. For example, his jump just looks jarringly rigid, as do some of his fight animations. I sort of think the way a character moves in a game like this contributes a whole lot to the feel of the combat, but I was still incredibly impressed with the way the demo played, so it's all fair game.

I have no lateral incisors, and thus when I smile I look like a neanderthal. Why are we suddenly talking about teeth?

The only thing worse than being single on Valentine's day is being in a relationship on Valentine's day.

Jesus, and I thought my Valentine's day was gonna suck.

Anyone got this on PC? If you're looking for a coop buddy hollaaaa.

I have been painting. The stuff I have painted has not been exclusively shit. Success.

I can confirm all the above. Woke up drunk at noon so dodged a bullet on the hangover thank fuck. Here is Arab Freak getting railed. Enjoy:
