yeah but I'm right.

dude it could work. Pack it up first and shit- just put it in your case for when you get picked up. In all seriousness, do you think she'd notice/care if she saw you playing resi 5 or SFIV? would she know you need a new machine to play those? does she know which? it could work. I've done it before.

I never mentioned graphics my point is that the idea of the wii controller being somehow 'realistic' in any way shape or form is patently absurd. Lets stick to shooters one more time for a good example: I'm playing Farcry 2- now, do you really think that, while sitting in my comfy armchair I'm honestly going to feel more like a mercenary in an African civil war with a wii controller than a 360 pad? Am I bollocks. The only way to develop immersion in any meaningful sense is through better technology. This includes graphics, sound, physics, AI. Hell, even display resolution! the wii is about as cutting edge as a sledge hammer. Which is fine for it's market, but that market is not progressive gaming. Don't kid yourself.

this game is looking sick. not a big fan of the unreal engine here but the game sounds baddass. what's wrong with Eidos, Rez? I can't think of a good reason to assume the worst.

so's your face!

you'll feel better. trust me.

pretend you don't have one. She might not notice.

dude. Man the fuck up and talk.

Post Your Purchases - The Mother's Day Edition!
Dan_Dare replied to bluey's topic in General Chit Chat
I've already bought earings this year. chocolates it is! -
shhh! seriously though, even with simpler games like...uhh...wii bowling! It's not that good, is it? It's a bit naff really.
-
no it's not. no it doesn't. ...and it's been perfected. I certainly don't feel more immersed in a game when a vague waggle of a badly designed tv remote makes my character jump instead of pressing a button. Any gamer with any skill or experience shouldn't even notice the controls after about five mins. Lets go to Halo again: I never, ever press the wrong button- to me that's far, far more involving that a bit of faux immersion from a wii remote. only it's not, is it? umm....so jumping around in a giant mushroom collecting stars as a cartoon plumber is less futile? Just seemed an odd point you made there.

I'm with Daft- particularly in the point that technology is going to push gaming forward- not the wii. Wii fans seem quick to decry 360/ps3 owners as shallow graphics whores, but that's total bullshit. I got my 360 because it offers cutting edge online support, a fantastic library of games and the power to actually support games that push the boundaries of what we can expect from the medium in the future. I don't have a ps3 but the same applies. Look a Heavy Rain- potentially capable of rewriting the rule book on what we want from the medium, and utterly impossible on a wii. The raw horsepower of proper next gen machines isn't just about graphics- it's about animation, sound, physics, AI and all the rest that makes a cohesive gaming experience. The wii can't provide any of these things and THAT is why I don't have one. oh and the controller is a gimmicky piece of crap. Roffle.

it was indeed. That and the really long production cycle for the show meant the season was cut in half longer than usual. The First half was all written pre strike so they went in to production during the strike.

ooh good news! Finally, a real station airing the show in the uk!

Do You Want Kids, Kittens or Puppies. (ex-sexuality thread!)

I'm going to raise my twin children to be masked avengers. -
I might...but I also need to buy some new trousers, and possibly dust my room. Yep.

Long or Short, how do you like YOUR(or rather, MY) hair?
Dan_Dare replied to Rummy's topic in General Chit Chat
Dude. This. Fo To The Mo-fuckin Sho. -
re: spring arriving! Good shit. I imagine we're slightly behind you but I saw a wasp this week, which was encouraging. Admittedly, it was out way too early and was dying...but yay!

you miss your delivery?

na I agree how Sunshine has a weird ending. Not bad IMO but I can see why people don't like it. I also fucking love the end to 28 Days when he goes berserk taking out the soldiers. Quality stuff. What tune is it during that scene? I seem to remember thinking it was Mogwai then being wrong
-
either way, Sunshine is better. (seriously though, great film)

you know- I'm just inclined to go with the flow with regards to fictional weaponised super virus'

cheapskate.

I think I mentioned this before: The Minutemen created the myth of the super hero, which the government endorses and labels Jon with. called 'The Superman', he is unfairly 'weaponised and politicised (whereas he should transcend petty human politics). I think this is where we see the deviation from real world situations: Manhattan is so powerful that the soviets become desperate. I think that's a massive distinction because, as the book argues in the prose section about the doc, they're propelled by fear in to dangerous reaction. Thus, his absence sends the world headlong towards Armageddon. In a way, The masked heroes are almost to blame for the situation. Equally, they are incapable of saving the world they have damned. When Roarsarch and and Nite Owl fight Ozimandias it's so important that, even though they can't take him in a fight anyway, it doesn't even matter if they could. His plan; his entire world is a step beyond the one they have created and their actions no longer matter.
