Mister Jack

I liked Epic Yarn, but THIS is the Kirby I've been wanting since the gamecube days. Hallelujah. 4-player co-op is great too. I wonder if it's onli---PFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Okay, I couldn't even finish that sentence. The game still looks great, though, and I'm very pleased it's finally coming.

X-men: First Class. I have to admit that at first I thought I was going to hate it, but I can admit when I am wrong, and it turned out to be an excellent film. Of course, if you're looking for strict adherence to the comic you'll be frothing at the mouth.

You can't buy another controller by itself? Are they fucking stupid or something? Do they think the controller will never break ever?

One of the Rainbow Six games had that too I think, I remember using the Xbox headset to "give orders" and stuff, still, the ability to use both voice and gestures to modify weapons and stuff looks fun to me. I do wish they include headset support for that stuff though, more options = good IMO. I tried to use that feature with Rainbow Six and it did not work worth a damn. I had to seriously struggle to get the mic to understand the orders I was giving. Eventually I just said "fuck it" and went with regular controls.

The controller doesn't seem that bad to me. I don't need to fit it into my pocket. If I can reach all the buttons without stretching my fingers out and it doesn't cramp my hand, it could be shaped like a pretzel for all I care.

It should at LEAST be able to do two.

Kind of strange that they would neglect to put up a full-sized picture of the damn thing. And the feature set of the ports will have to be more than just menus or maps on the controller. They have to win back a lot of people who feel burned by the wii, including myself. If the developers can truly find a way to use that controller to make Wii U games into experiences that can't be duplicated on the PS3 or 360 versions, I'll be willing to give it a shot, but it remains to be seen.

They focused quite a bit on the controller. I would have liked to see a little more focus on the actual console itself and how it will work. No price announced, either. Nintendo's show was decent, but I wouldn't say they knocked it out of the park. Better than Microsoft, at least. Overall, I think Sony probably had the best show.

I just hope they learned their lesson about online features.

Jesus, do not read the chat on GT's live stream. The haters will just never be satisfied with anything that's announced. I'm not entirely on board with Wii U just yet, but I admit it looks interesting.

Sony had a pretty great show this year. Gets that rotten taste of Microsoft's conference out of my mouth.

What an embarrassment. Not only that, but Sony has the PS Vita to do and Nintendo has a whole new console, which just makes the Microsoft show look even worse.

Having only two weapons was rather disappointing...

So is there anyone here already using Playstation plus? Do you get to keep free DLC if you let it expire? I know that free games have to have a membership, but what about DLC for games you bought in disc form? I don't plan on keeping PSN plus so I want to get all I can while the getting is good, assuming that I can keep it.

Steam demo codes went out today for first access members.

Am I the only person who's glad that Witcher 2 is coming to the 360? Everywhere I look it seems like people are just ruthlessly bashing the very notion. Given that the game apparently plays better with a controller and has some kind of problem that makes it finicky with a lot of PCs, I thought this would be seen as a good thing.

Just kick his ass out. When a roommate is that bad you can find ways to get them evicted.

I think the better question is WHY?

I really liked Mary and Max. I thought I was the only one to actually watch it. You never hear it mentioned.

Saw Kung Fu Panda 2. It's a pretty decent follow up. Good job, Dreamworks.

Michael Caine once said "I have not seen the film (Jaws 4 in this case) but I hear by all accounts it is terrible. I have, however, seen the house it built, and it is terrific." Kind of hard to argue with that.

The complete Sam and Max is only 17 bucks on Steam right now.

God damn it, why can't square enix pick any normal fucking names for FF games anymore?
