Enervation

Gross. That's why I'd pay top dollar to stay away from those kinds of people.

You should run it by whoever owns the place, Atomsk. I'm sure they'd be GLAD to see how their apartment is being treated.

Looks like we're still playing as Jimmy, eh?

I have several ideas. - Everyone in the world will go on a hugging spree provided they are physically capable. If not, the closest medical personnel will treat their problems, then resume hugging strangers for 15 minutes. - Everyone suddenly sees in Counterstrike vision, and a pistol as well as an assault rifle of their preference (or whatever gun they have last seen) will appear in their hands. An booming, divine voice with an echo will declare across the world, in the language each person is most familiar with, "FREE FOR ALL DEATHMATCH. BEGIN." This will ensue for 15 minutes, and at the end everyone will respawn as they were before the round began. The victor will receive a bucket of water. - I will become Jebus Rice, our Lord and Savory for 15 minutes. Everyone will receive free bowls of rice in any form they wish, as long as they ask it from me. Each person only gets one, though. - Fly into the sun. - Reform the entire world within 15 minutes, and make it so that even after my influence is gone the people I have trained will continue my work. - DESTROY COMMERCIALS. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! For 15 minutes. - I always wanted a DeLorean, and a driver's license. For 15 minutes! - Make my computer FIX ITSELF. GOD DAMN, WHY ARE YOU SO HARD TO FIX?????? Or at the very least have it tell me on the monitor what exactly is wrong with it. - Make the world blow up every 10 seconds for 15 minutes. HO HO HO HO. - Make science and math easier for humans to understand, for 15 minutes, I guess...? - Eat Vietnamese food for 15 minutes. Hehehe.

I would like to participate in this, but between my job, my CS work, and my double math class work, I... Wow. I just realized that I am a robot.

Here's hoping for that patch, heh. Hopefully the patch doesn't take the "two steps forward, one step back" approach by fixing some things and breaking others.

Woo, a podcast! Terrific.

Six weeks is three months? Seems more like 1.5, I'd say. O_o

Same here! It's the game I've logged the most time into. I've been playing it on and off consistently for over three years, and I only stopped at the beginning of this year. Eh, stuff gets old.

I'd volunteer for this, if it weren't for: A) Being a full time college student. B) Having work alongside being a full time student. C) Being a Computer Science major (aka, code or die forever). It's a shame, I live fairly close to L.A., so I'd be able to gain access to E3 rather easily with a guest pass.

I think the far more amusing thing is how Kotaku posted up a step-by-step tutorial of how to use the exploit.

If there's anything being on the internet has taught me, it's to STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THE OFFICIAL FORUMS. Fuck. If I didn't know better I would swear Gabe was doing that on purpose. Also: I have a feeling people don't understand that basic knowledge of C++ does nothing with professionally programmed drivers, 'cause the only thing you'll succeed in is shooting yourself in the foot!

Fanboys ruin the fun for all of us. I can honestly say that after the most recent patch, it runs WORSE now than it did before. On the Security Tower mission, I usually get only minute lag at the gate. Now, there's really bad lag - I think it dropped somewhere down to 15-20 fps. Woo, go PC gaming master race.

They got a patch to Playstation players without PSN. Hmm. I wonder how they did that? PSN isn't tied to the patching system. All games have been patching fine without PSN. PSN is just used for trophies/PS Store/messaging. Don't need someone to login to know what game they have and if it's outdated. Note to self: All online community platforms are not Steam.

They got a patch to Playstation players without PSN. Hmm. I wonder how they did that? As for the bots... it's doable. It always is. The bot difficulty scales with both your level and the difficulty setting of the match. At my current level, everyone NEEDS to know what they're doing to survive, otherwise the bots will just laugh as they gun you down.

Anyone playing on the PC able to connect to online games?

Personally I'm just waiting for Guild Wars 2. Will probably bounce around until it finally comes out. And I got my paycheck today too.

Well obviously if that's what one was expecting, of course the game will feel like crap. Also, it appears a slew of reviews came out, ranging from very low to moderate. Lots of complaints going up about questionable optimization and bad processing. I guess the Joystiq review wasn't so far off after all, though they could stand to review the multiplayer a bit more. I hope Bethesda does something about this. =\

The things someone said in the comments section sums it up very well... Also, the review seems to focus more on the shortcomings of the single-player and lack of features from the multiplayer, while making ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION of the multiplayer experience itself. Shame, I actually though Joystiq was a decent site. But I guess like any other review site it falls flat on its face in certain areas.

ISTJ 67, 1, 38, and 33 for the first test... and INTJ for the second one.

Well, from what I hear people say... (those people who have the game already) If you're used to Call of Duty or any other series shooter these days, Brink will be a challenge for you. And that's great news to me.
