Just picked this one up. I'm excited to dig into it.
-
Google's main page now has voice search. Weird.

Yeah, my Android phone has voice search, but I wasn't expecting that to come to desktop/laptop computers.
-
Why not? It's the future.

THE FUTURE I TELL YOU!

Yeah, I suppose that's true. And DeNiro was pretty cheesy. -

Machete. It wasn't exactly a "good" film (Black Dynamite is the only parody exploitation that I consider a quality film), but it was really entertaining, and I appreciated how it showcased just how ridiculous immigration fears have become. -
What looks more interesting; Alice: Madness Returns, or Shadows of the Damned?
-
Alice is a lot of fun, great art style. The camera lets it down on occasion but otherwise I'm loving it. I've not had a chance to open Shadows yet. I shall do so tonight and report back...
-
Both are good and I say this is as someone who's totally neutral about EA. Alice is a throwback to games from a different time but with better controls. Shadows of the Damned is great but it's only 8hrs long approx.
-
Oh and Shadows has limited replay value unlike RE4 which might skew some judgements but it is a really really good game. Alice on the other hand is quite long though keybindings are a pain on the PC for some. Personally it's awesome with Physx imho. I think it's one of those games that did particle effects quite nicely.

Last Crap Movie You Saw
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee replied to Yantelope's topic in Entertainment Exchange
Casino Jack was unbearable. I picked it up looking through Redbox because, "Hey, Kevin Spacey!" It is the worst attempt at a dark comedy that I have ever seen. And Jon fucking Lovitz is so BAD. It takes an interesting true story and makes it dreadfully boring, with Spacey, the only good actor, even going over-the-top too often. -
Jeff Gerstmann isn't one to troll. Everyone has different personal tastes, so there's a good chance that this game is a love-it-or-hate-it scenario.

Are there must-buy characters (heroes, I mean) in League of Legends?

You can get Tristana for free by liking Riot's facebook page or something. She's a good ranged AD.
-
What Enervation said. There's a ton of different champions, and lots of playstyles for each one. Just try the weekly rotation of free champions, and if you like one, buy it.
-
Which is kind of retarded game design considering how important overall team lineup becomes in these types of games. Champions with good synergy with each others could make or break a game, so if you want to become good you'll really need most of them.

Saw Four Lions. It's the first comedy I've seen that is able to make absolutely hilarious jokes about terrorism. My brother had some trouble with the movie because he has a hard time with British humor, but I was laughing my ass off for most of it. It's almost like a darker take on The Three Stooges. -
Got into Spiral Knights after Steam added it. That's one hell of a game!
-
Man, Spiral Knights is one hell of a free game. So addicting! This and League of Legends are the best F2P games I've ever played.

It's a very coy attempt at using the Farmville model of "energy" while having it be a much more engaging, interesting game. I'd never pay to play it but it was kinda fun when I tried it.
-
Only fun in Co-op with more than one player.
-
Co-op is always better with more than one player
-
That new XCOM game actually looks awesome.
-
It does, but I wish they'd use a new IP instead of Xcom.

Ah, okay. I thought you were just talking about boring movies in general, and almost everyone I know refers to Benjamin Button as "the boring Brad Pitt movie". -
Downloaded the Origin client and a copy of Battlefield 2142 I bought a while ago from their store. I have to say, it's a rather nice client. You don't even have to run it to play the games; it looks like it's focused on downloading, purchasing and patching.

Is "Other movie with Brad Pitt" Benjamin Button? -
PSA: Bulletstorm, a game that accomplishes everything Duke Nukem Forever failed at, is only $30 on Steam. If you want a Duke game, get that instead.

Or just spend $10 on Jamestown. So many great indie games you could get for the price of one Duke.
-
I played about an hour of Bulletstorm and my lids got very heavy.
-
Pretty sure the advice is for people who may have been interested in Duke Nukem, not people who dislike shooters, STenshi. =p
-
It's the way they treat it all that makes it come off as extremely offensive. They mix tickling alien sacks like a pair of breasts with women crying about how they want their mommies as they're forcefully raped with the chestbursters. Basically, the writing itself makes it bad. A proper writer would've known how to properly space each and every moment out to allow for proper humor/horror. But instead, just like every other element in the game, it's shoved full-force into a blender and tossed around haphazardly. It makes other sequences just bad, but this particular timing is so unfortunate that it makes the whole game look like the product of mentally-deranged psychopaths.

Hey, you know that fucked-up part I was talking about earlier? Here it is, in all its...glory. NSFW, and SPOILERS. Uggh. I think I need a shower. And fuck everyone involved with this game. EDIT: Apparently spoiler tags don't work with YouTube vids...
-
You know what's fucked up? All these negative reviews make me want to purchase Duke Nukem Forever. It sounds so horrible that one must play in order to believe the horrors.

Dukey. <3

Faiblesse, try to find a playthrough of "The Hive" somewhere. It's really, really, bad.
-
You'll probably see it for like 20$ in a couple months, might be a good idea to pick it up to see HOW bad it is.

http://www.destructoid.com/review-duke-nukem-forever-203658.phtml I know Sterling can be a rather contentious figure with users, but I found parts of his opening statement hit the nail on the number one problem I see; people seem to be buying it based on the franchise's past, instead of the poor game in front of them. "Duke Nukem Forever's history is a lengthy and notorious one, and one that we cannot help but remember when talking about the game. The game itself goes to great lengths to remind you of it at every turn with an overdose of self-referential sight gags. However, when looking at the game as it exists today, one must divorce one's self from that history and examine what, exactly, 2K Games is giving us for our sixty dollars. That's when you realize that 2K is trying to pull a fast one." Also, this is perhaps the most fucked up thing you'll find in a video game; "One level in particular takes place in an alien nest where Earth's women are being inseminated by giant penises. The women writhe and moan in a fairly humiliating fashion, and they regularly sob with no small amount of implied misery. In essence, the women look like they're getting raped. In fact, they are. That's the big joke of the level. The aliens are raping the women to create babies. Now, I'm a fan of offensive humor, but the "joke" in this level is so morbidly presented, so dark and downright unsettling, that I simply do not know if Gearbox intends for us to laugh or to throw up. I certainly found I was in danger of doing the latter over the former. By the time Duke Nukem finally makes a "You're fucked," joke, which he makes in front of two girls who are about to die in the process of getting sexually assaulted, Duke does not come across as cool, witty or likable in the least. He comes across as a vile, callous, thoroughly detestable psychopath. It's not impossible to make an alien rape joke amusing if you're clever enough, but the fact that nobody making this game actually bothered to try is what really concerns me. According to Gearbox, seeing women tortured was funny enough. According to common sense, it really, really wasn't."

Flamethrower's at the end sequence. There's a room directly on your path through the sequence that has it.
-
In case any of you are still planning on picking up Duke Nukem Forever, Green Man Gaming has it for $36. It's essentially selling a Steam key, so no need to worry about their bizarre trading system.
-
Good! Hope you enjoy it. It's such a great, classic game.
-
Is it the chauvinistic nature of the game? Stuff like "Capture the Babe"?
