The Bard

Missing PvP in Conan renders it worthless.

I imagine Mad Moxxi would be a hella fun with some friends. Unfortunately, I got about an hour and a half into it by myself, quit out, and then realised that the shit doesn't save. Fuuuuuu

Hold up, did someone just say "Boss Fight"? Is it just one of those things where you have to shoot some sack of shit with like 10 clips before he dies? How do Boss Fights have a place in this game?

Haven't played it yet, but you guys' descriptions are giving me Every Day The Same Dream vibes. It's a brilliant browser based game.

Because the cliche ridden shit he writes (or most likely, doesn't) is more played out than the jingles you hear when you're put on hold by your optometrist, but at the same time is infinitely less bearable.

Might play through Hotel Dusk again for the lulz. Goron, you're reccommending this ish? Is it in the same kooky adventure vein as Phoenix?

This wouldn't be that much of a problem if Microsoft just fucking let you plug in a mouse and a keyboard into any of the several USB ports peppered around the fucking console.

I am nauseatingly good looking, I know. I mean, I can't believe god was dicking around crafting me to perfection when there are starving kids and toilet snakes fucking shit up. Also you should hate Murs on principle. I expect an immediate retcon of your opinions pls. Really getting into Priestess recently. They're musically somewhere in between Baroness and The Sword, just really good stoner metal mixed with a good amount of Thin Lizzy esque harmonisations and widdles. Just good, fun metal. Also, I have this on around the house practically all day. Stevie tells such involving stories. Innervisions is such a great album =)

Ollie Murs provokes voilent reverse peristalsis. What a vile creature.

It's because you're not a tabletop playing, games workshop lurking, female repelling dweeb. And I say that with all the love in the world for those of you who are these things

If I don't like you, I'll probably just cut you.

But guys it has a "more realistic anime feel." Dumbshits. Anyway, hope they fix the awful AI pathfinding.

Can you not return it and get it for PC? That's pretty shitty that it doesn't support southpaw configurations man, when I can remember the most awful Gamecube shooters having that capability.

Just kidding ofc, I really like the original Dawn of War, never got around to the second, and CoH is pretty much my favourite game. I have a certain amount of trepidation about this game, just because Relic have never really proven they can pull off an action game before, the WW2 shooter for 360 was pretty horrendous. And this is called Space Marine. Does nobody reckon that naming their game that in light of the prevalent cliche in videogames will damage peoples perception of it? Perhaps this is just for Warhammer nerds though. I've never liked the fiction.

Wish they would toss the nerd shit and just make another Company of Heroes

Oh god, I don't have my XBOX with me. Can't wait to get my hands on SF3. Many people on here planning on getting it? Would love to get some sort of tournament going. Gotta warn you though, I'm far too good at it =p.

Happy birthday good lookin'

You guys were at Sonisphere? Meet up phail. Also, agree with McMad's album heirarchy but with Puppetz swapped with Ride.

All the good FF games come in multiples of 6. Tru fax bro. Also; wondering if this game is going to include any surreptitious hints at the course AC3 is going to take.

Good call with the Ktulu, one of 'tallica's best songs. The first Metallica album I got was AJFA when I was thirteen, and I remember listening to Blackening, the first track, and it scaring the shit out of me. It still sounds pretty sinister to me, but I think it's pretty much Metallica's best "thrash" song. I think the peaks on AJFA are higher than on Puppets, but the latter is much more consistent album. Listen to Orion first; one of the most delightful, enthralling pieces of spacey prog metal ever written.

Gonna build a new PC before this comes out. Anyone have any idea when the new i9 chipsets are out? I know ATI has a new set of GPUs out in October, which should hopefully bring down the price of the 6970. This is gonna kick ass.

Oh god dude, Frantic is such a piece of shit. Solid contender for worst Metallica song ever.

Nah man, I did Art, English, Chemistry and Biology for A Level, and Art was the one I had to drop because it was just too much fucking work. The volume of work and the dedication you need to it is absurd, whereas the others put together weren't as much of a strain on my faculties. Then again, maybe I was approaching it wrong; one kid bought a toilet for his final exam piece, draped some fishnet on it, and called it an homage to Duchamp. Fuck off.

Burny: Steamworks and all the tools that come with it are completely free for any third party to use. I really like Gabe Newell's position on piracy; eliminate the incentive for people to do so by offering a service rather than a one time product. Look at TF2 when it came out, they added content at frequent intervals at no cost to whoever had already bought it, witht he stipulation that it had to be a legitimate copy of the game otherwise the extra content just wouldn't work. What reason does a person who is inclined to pirate have to not rip off a game that's a dead end release?
