I found Shockwave the most useful Hmm maybe that's what I meant? I dunno, it's been a while, so I don't really remember the abilities in detail. I just googled "vanguard abilities" and picked the name that sounded most like it would send people flying

I bought P3 and P4 on ebay for like 80 bucks a year and a half ago, played P3 for about 40 hours and then just stopped... Really want to finish it, but whenever I finish something and have to pick something new to play, it never occurs to me to pick up from where I left off Also, I seem to recall being stuck on a boss in Tartarus. And if I remember correctly, I read up some strategies on how to beat it only to find out it had no obvious weakness and my only option was to grind for hours :'(

And even with that slot's grim history, they still seem to think it's going to end well...

Yeah I'm seeing Civ V at 25% off as well. I got it for less than that Also new DLC came out for it. I think it adds two new Civs for 8 bucks. Kinda wish they'd bundle it with the Babylonians DLC (5$) to save me a few bucks... :/

Well, yeah. A different/updated version of the same engine, probably.

So, Mass Effect 2 for PS3 runs on the Mass Effect 3 engine it seems? http://www.examiner.com/video-game-news-in-national/bioware-using-mass-effect-3-engine-for-playstation-3-version-of-mass-effect-2 edit: I don't now for everyone else, but when I follow the above link, there's a pop-up on the side that hilariously links to an old article from february 2010 titled "BioWare dismisses Mass Effect 2 Playstation 3 port rumors" Also, comparison vid with the 360 version. http://www.ign.com/videos/2010/12/16/mass-effect-2-meeting-jacob?objectid=14235018 It really does look better to me.

Played as a soldier in ME1, but switched to Vanguard for ME2. This video is what made me want to switch Biotic Charge turned out to be both incredibly useful and very badass! Also, a friend of mine recently upgraded his PC and has been playing through ME1 and 2, and he keeps complaining about the Husks being a huge pain in his ass. That made me remember how easy they were to deal with in ME2 thanks to Biotic Throw. Once maxed out they rarely, if ever, reached me. B)

Oh shit! How'd I forget that one?!

Quite a few. Bolded ones are my top favorites. Off the air: 24 (season 1 to 5 were pure awesome, beyond that only season 7 was really good) Arrested Development Battlestar Galactica (was a bit shit in its second half, but the first two seasons were amazing) Buffy/Angel Firefly Frasier Lost Still running: 30 Rock American Dad (family guy has gone to hell and cleveland show is seriously retarded, but this one just keeps getting better and better) Big Bang Theory Breaking Bad (Best. Show. Ever. Period.) Chuck Dexter Glee (SHUT UP!) How I Met Your Mother It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia The Office (used to be great, merely good nowadays) Parks And Recreation (season 2 was the funniest show on tv last year, in my opinion) South Park Stuff I used to watch but stopped for no good reason: Burn Notice Doctor Who (really need to catch up on this. last I watched I was about halfway through Tennant's last season ) Fringe (loved season 1 but for some reason haven't started season 2 yet) House M.D. Pretty sure I'm forgetting a bunch but this is all I can think of off the top of my head.

On steam.

Hahaha video was pretty funny. I can imagine he was probably legitimately scared but was exaggerating his reactions since he had an "audience". I tried the first Penumbra game a while back and it's actually pretty creepy. I remember at one point I hid behind a crate not because the game told me to but because I was genuinely afraid about a noise I'd just heard and was in no hurry to find out what was around that next corner I debated grabbing Amnesia last week-end when it was 50% off on Steam, but figured it would probably be on sale again before I ever got around to playing it.

Man, tried Just Cause 2 earlier and it's pretty damn crazy! I played the demo when it came out, and based on it I knew the gameplay mechanics were pretty solid, but the demo didn't do much to really show that. The opening missions of the full game, on the other hand, are simply insane. I cannot understand why that first mission was not the demo. Would've been much better. It teaches you how to use your two main tools (grappling hook and parachute) but also gives you a taste of the story and features a pretty epic set piece. Instead they released a demo that just drops you in a small area of the sandbox and basically tells you "Here's some shit you can destroy. You got 20mins."

Probably the best show I ever watched. Seriously. No hyperbole. It's a bit of a slow burner, though. But the more you watch, the more you need to watch. And the payoff is pretty much always worth it. In my opinion it just gets better every single season. I can't wait for season 4!

Hahahaha Getting pissed off at a country irl because they were the bad guys in a game you played is pretty much the most retarded thing ever.

Thor is a character I know very little of, but the trailer was pretty cool. I might not see it in theaters, but I'm curious.

Hahaha, damn that sucks. McKay is one of my fav character in any show ever.

What the hell.. tried to edit my post and it double posted? Someone please delete this one...

Oh man, it's been years since I watched any new StarGate material. Love the original movie. I got the first bluray release of it and am actually considering getting the newer one since the first one is pretty uneven. Some footage looks amazing ( like when they're out in the desert) and some looks pretty shit and grainy as hell (mostly darker scenes inside temples and such). At one point I owned the first three seasons of SG-1 on DVD. Always meant to watch the rest of it, but it's such a long show that I never got around to it. Atlantis, I loved too. Especially how some episodes really felt like they belonged in some more hard sci-fi series like Star Trek. Again, never watched until the end. Finally, I have yet to watch a single episode of StarGate Universe, though I keep hearing good things about it. I'm a bit hesitant to start it without having properly watched the other shows, though. :/

Well then you just missed a good chance then. Last week ( or week-end, not really sure anymore ) there was an event on Direct2Drive where you could get 20% off anything by using the promo code HOHOHO. Now it's over though. I don't normally use D2D as I prefer to have all my games on Steam, but sometimes it can be pretty sweet to get good deals on games that you have to register on Steam anyway. When I pre-ordered Black Ops they offered a pre-load, but for Civ V they don't even provide data to download. When I click to "download" the game it just brings up a page with a cd-key and instructions on how to register it on Steam. Picked up JC2 as well! It's done downloading now, can't wait to try it later! I've been wanting to play it for a while now.

Judging from what little gameplay footage I've seen, I expect it'll be pretty much like every other Telltale game. i.e. walk around, pick up stuff to use later and find out new information/what you're supposed to do through conversations.

Haven't played Strong Bad either but based on Telltale's other games and the few cartoons I've seen, it should be worth a few laughs. I'm hoping it gets a nice discount on Steam over the holidays.

I'm definitely interested in this. Saw some "leaked" gameplay footage a while back and I got a kind of Crysis vibe from it. Probably the near-future sci-fi aspect of it, I guess. Also Koreans, probably. This is actually one of the top 5 games on my Steam wishlist in case, by some miracle, I happen to win one of the sweepstakes.
