  1. Amazon, please stay strong on no tax on CA folks. Having free two day shipping on top if it makes shopping with you guys one of the sweetest things ever. FIGHT ON.

  2. I should doodle more. I don't consider myself good but I'm decent enough. I guess...
  3. Earthquake, in a game with good physics? I want a non-cam version now! My body is ready.
  4. I think I'm about to repeat myself and I'm not sure if I'm even making much sense but eh, here I go. No analogy can quite work with on-disk DLC. With renting a place or a getting a hotel room, you know what you get. Its very well defined. When a person buy a game on a disk or as a download, a good deal of people are hardwired to think that whatever is on the disk or download is what you paid for. The DLC data is there in the disk or in the game data folder on your computer so you got it but you can't use it. That conflicts with the good deal of people who think that whatever they paid for is what they get. I think most people accept or can accept that we are buying the right to play the game, however, I think less people can accept that they can only get the right to play part, not the whole, of the game that is on the disk or download. It just totally clashes with how most people think on what they get is what they paid for. As far as I know, this conflict is unique to the gaming industry. My tired mind can't think of any other thing that can compare.
  5. I think I had barley tea before since I may have misidentified it as rice tea. Whatever it was, its good. The taste is like... well, grainy or the smell of baked bread. Its hard to describe!
  6. Pre-order DLC are fine by me, its just the on-disk DLCs that annoys me. Dean gave a reason why. It also opens up things that get pretty damn ugly like... "Sorry folks, you didn't purchase the sidequest portion of the game, please purchase a code to activate it." A little bit related... Wasn't BC2: Vietnam sorta was like on-disk DLC? However, if I recall correctly, the Vietnam data came along with a patch/update a week or two before Vietnam hit. So I can't dock them for that. It was pretty sweet to just punch in the code and you're set to go. ---- Hope no one replies before this edit. Johnny, can't say I can see it as accessories. When you buy the game with the on-disk DLC, when you get the disk or download that comes with it, I see it as me purchasing the DLC as well. Its just really weird that you got the data but you can't use it. You got it along with what you can use on disk or download. I'm with Dean on this one, I can't think of anything similar... actually... The closest thing that comparable is when you rent a place to live or whatever. You can be in or use A and C but you can't be in or use B. So, buying a game is actually more like renting the data to use whenever. You can use A and C data but not B. Still, I feel better if they left that DLC data out of the disk or download.

      I have no idea what just happened. :|

      You ever heard about the supposed sudden unattended acceleration problem that Toyota had a year ago or so? I said supposed since as far as I know, its wasn't the car that caused it.

      Oh yeah, I remember that now. Makes sense :P

  7. Geez, sure is fighting with my internet everyday now so that it goes at a decent speed.

  8. The graphical settings are there but man, PC gamers who want to play this game on higher settings have really good PCs, thus they know the ins and outs of anything related computers such as accessing a settings file. Also to know how to pirate the game so why bother making one in game when they already know how to do it by editing a file!? Why make life easier for PC gamers because they're all pirates!!!111! I mean, look at that leak earlier in the year... I hope I captured how some folks like some folks at Epic and maybe Crytek feel... Funny thing is... that graphics setting BS was already in the leaked game. I wonder if leaking that version of the game was somehow linked to how they raped the game, so someone in Crytek leaked the game in protest. I can wonder...
  9. For whatever reason, there was no voting option. I really have no idea why its stuck to that one map. As for those turrets... I'm not so sure how accurate and sensitive they are. I was tracking someone near spawn and so I stood by a turret to have some backup fire. NOPE! That SOB for whatever reason can take me down with a single non-head shot, and that turret didn't shoot at him. WHAT THE FUCK.
  10. So, in the internet pet peeved thread, I got reminded of this gem, one of my favorites...
  11. We fought with great valor and fortitude. While we lost some battle, we drove the ISA further back than before! Though, I'm kinda of peeved that we didn't win that really close game. The whole team just fell apart at the end* but man, that one disarm was tense. Six seconds to disarm a bomb while everyone else is fight around me. That sort of round is what I play for. *I was eating cake...
  12. Taken from the comments. "I have a hard time playing other FPS's (especially Killzone) because the physics don't feel right." The physics feeling like nothing is why I stopped playing CoD games in the first place. Hell, I picked up Killzone 3 for the physics feel! When people said it felt soulless, that, I think, is part of the reason why it did. Heh, one people dislike is another person's like. Edit: Johnny, I would argue that its too smooth. I would imagine that they could of made it better with each game but you really don't see it, if they even done anything to it.
  13. "Sugar rush"? That's a good way to naming how CoD games feels since MW2, with Blops taking it to a whole new level. They feel so fast and stuff that you don't feel anything at all. And you did well.
  14. Oh... my... god. Suddenly, Lavos to ruin Zeal's shit. (I wish) FYI, I may be slowly developing that bug. Maybe... --- Yo folks... http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/collectibles/e7fa/ I know there were unofficial ones before but this time, its official and it has more blocks than the unofficial one.
  15. So I assume its the same thing for turrets as well? Never comfirmed it but that is my feeling. However, I do know you can't have them close to each other.

    Scrolls

    The main problem with this game is how you get the cards. It requires money from you. For any intial buyers, this game poses a pretty big risk of failing by not getting a large enough player base to support it. Then there is the thing of this game getting shuttered and in turn, losing everything you invested in it or making you unable to play with anybody. I do hope for the best to Mojang on this game. It could be good but I'm quite sure it won't have nearly as big of a fanbase as Minecraft has. I'm willing to bet the fanbase will be even less than 50% or even 25% of Minecraft's. We'll see in the coming months and when alpha or beta hits.

    Fucking Kotaku

    Wait... they are seriously ignoring GDC? What the hell? If they start posting about stuff happening at GDC a week from now, I would happily comment on how late they were and get banned. Again. Anyways... Gawkers' writers morale at a new low. More at 11.
  18. I play mostly tactician because l love that scan ability. It saved my ass so many times by highlighting flanking enemies and we'll, it helps me flank enemies as well. I also play the engie a lot because he can hold an area really well. He's a must have for any defensive position. I also just got my medic upgraded so I will start using that as well. Next class I will work on is the marksman because I have been in too many games where my team get pinned down by a squad of marksmen. Its really bad on that jetpack level.
  19. Its 3AM and I want to eat something. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Diet, sure...
  20. I'm sorry, I have to change my pants since it looked so good. I hope there's a beta in the coming months, I don't care if I have to deal with the usual BS server issues... I want to take a peek. :<

    Scrolls

    I never played any type of card games so I can't say I'm interested at all. However, it seems to be a good idea. Someone on RPS compared Scrolls to Eye of Judgement, I would think Scrolls would do better than EoJ simply because it doesn't require the PS Eye thing or any physical media. Hey, this is closest you can get to irl Yugioh.
  22. Here's another. You get to see the privilege people living in NK, in Pyongyang. Its quite screwy indeed.
  23. Why, yes he is. And now this... Watching The Mongol and other stuff sure made me aware of such vocals. Its really seems fitting for the Mongolians with their steppes lifestyle and needless to say, it sounds awesome.
