  1. As an alumni of a college fraternity, I have to say its disheartening to see how 'frats' are viewed in the public eye. The worst part is that most of these assumptions are based off of fact that some dickwads in fraternities have done, said, or acted. Those people and stories are just hated by most of us because it paints a picture of 'frat' life that most fraternities dont even allow or follow.

      of course I'm going to say this, but you should at least check out the fraternities to see if its something you would want to participate in

      Also, the fraternity I joined was kicked off for hazing, but that was before I joined. They even were kick out of the fraternity (nationally) and I helped rebuild it, it was a great experience (and I am a founding father)

      So again, i'm in no way defending the actions, but it saddens me to see that happens making those of us who don't do that(the majority) look bad.

  2. A bit off topic, but when's your wedding coming up?

      I dont know, I think it has to do with me being a bit bored, with none of my close friends/family anywhere near by.

      Go to a book store. Flirt with a girl. Get her number. Never call her. You'll feel better knowing you still got it!

      Dude, I totes hear you. My woman is away most of the week for wedding related "women only" events and the biggest thing I have planned those nights is doing the dishes.

       

  4. Started playing Borderlands, love that game!

      The most fun bad game I've ever played

  5. I talked about this in chat with harri. I'm not mad at EA. I'm not happy either. Honestly thats about it. Sure its got its flaws, but its not really pissing me off either. That's the major problem with Origin. Valve has almost perfected the digital download service, its all there for anyone to use. Valve also makes games that compete for your purchases with other companies, Valve gets a % of the money that we use to purchase a game on steam. Why would you want your competition to get money off of your product? Steam isn't like the PSN or Xbox Live where its the only service you can have to play a game on your system. EA wants a piece of that pie, and it makes sense. What EA didn't do, is look at what it is that people love about Steam. I mean its like they didn't care to make us want to switch over to Origin. To me, its like Valve cooked you your favorite food, and EA cooked you plain chicken and veggies. Sure its not the worst food you'll eat, but they really didn't try to make it any better than it needed to be. Origin isn't good. It's not terrible (the interface isn't bad at all), but still not good. EA didn't try with Origin, they just did. They threw it out there thinking that having a service is enough, but compared to Steam its not preferable. As far as making BF3 use origin only, I can't blame them. Valve games are only sold digitally on Steam and require you to use Steam. Sure it would probably sell better if it was available through Steam too, but they are entering the ring with Steam, but aren't really trying.
  6. Some days (like today) I can be the best BC2 player in the game many games in a row, some days I'm the worst. At least I alone carried my stupid sniper squad mates to gold squad. I love this game and can't wait for BF3!

  7. Love the new forum, wish the url didn't change (gotta change the book marks, again) but this new forum is the bees knees

  8. FIFA tonight! Hopefully I can get out of my loosing slump :/

  9. Loooooooong Week. Apparently the owner of the company took an interest in me which is very rare and good

  10. Does anyone know anything about the ATI Mobility Graphics card? I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5740 on my laptop. It seems to be good enough to play games but I dont know how it compares to other graphics cards in general

      Yea, I don't play a whole lot on my laptop but of the games I do, it seems really good, so I'm just unsure as to how they stack up

      http://tinyurl.com/257otvu scroll down to read how the tests went with games. Obviously a lot of it depends on the rest of the components as well, but it gives you some indication. Tom's Hardware's rough graphic card hierarchy puts a Mobility 5750 in the same tier as a standard 6670 so it's probably around that level of performance.
  11. standing up in a wedding in t-9 hours. Man its strange!

      Standing up? As opposed to the supine wedding?

  12. Loong few weeks, then i come here to see that TAY has changed, my how time flies...

  13. Another good F2P game is Pirates of the Burning Sea, you can get a whole bunch of stuff, and if you sub for one month you keep almost all the perks forever!

      Nice. It's a fun, albeit slightly expensive city.

  16. Just cooked a burrito! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!

  17. I like all these HD remakes, buuuut when are they going to draw the line? I don't want to be buying ps2/ps3/psp/PSV/PS4 games for my ps5!

    1. toxicitizen

      toxicitizen

      I don't think so. The main appeal is to have these games displayed properly in HD. Most PS2 games look like ass when upscaled on a PS3.

       

      I really don't think the next gen of consoles will up the resolution. TVs wouldn't be able to keep up with that.

      I hope your right FLD

  18. Overstrike has stolen my heart. I can't wait to buy that game!

      BrainHurtBoy...2

      I had them all except these two: LittleBigPlanet and WipEout HD Fury (I had the original, not Fury). I got Killzone Liberation, which is fun enough, and Pursuit Force.

    4. toxicitizen

      toxicitizen

      For PS3 I went with Wipeout and Dead Nation since I already own inFamous and Super Stardust.

       

      PSP, I got Killzone Liberation and Pursuit Force as well.

       

      Also, I just retrieved a european PSN account I'd created a few years ago and got LBP through it :D

  20. Sony's Welcome Back is up. Finally I can get a copy of inFamous!!

      Servers are crippled. I'm gonna wait until later tonight/tomorrowand then try and download them.

      Just a heads up: if the "Free PS3/PSP Game 1/2" option goes away before you actually download the game, go to the XMB -> Account Management -> Services (or something like that) -> SCEA Offer (or something like that). It should still be there.

  21. In september DC will be rebooting their entire universe. I personally am excited, mostly because I haven't really read any DC comics and see the reboot as a place to start!

    1. toxicitizen

      toxicitizen

      I'm a bit split over this. I've gotten into comics, mainly DC, recently. So I've collected a huge backlog of reading material from Batman, JLA, the multiple Crisis events, etc.. and been reading it in hopes of eventually catching up with current events. But now... they're rebooting everything? Should I just stop and start again when they do? What's the point of catching up if everything will be meaningless once I'm finally up to date?

    2. madbassman39

      madbassman39

      Im reading the Grant Morrison run on Batman's death and Dick taking over as batman. I am just going to keep reading it cause I enjoy the story, but yea its kind of a slap in the face to those reading it right now. Also, what happens with Earth One series that was basically a reboot?

  22. I'm so glad someone showed me to this site a few months ago, Kotaku commentors are almost as bad as IGN's now!

      This place is starting to feel more and more like a war refugee camp :P

  23. My car was egged some time yesterday or last night. I washed it off as soon as I saw it, but it was dark so I don't know how bad it really is. I'm stuck at work for most of the day and have to go to graduation afterwards. I'm pissed because I have no time at all today to get it washed. Maybe I'll leave work earlier today to wash it. Has anyone had their car egged before? Does it do bad damage. I have an 04 ford Explorer. I heard it doesn't affect newer cars like it used to.

      Take it off asap just to be sure. It may not stick as bad as older cars but it will stick. Treat it like bird poo.

      From what I hear the eggshell can scratch up the paint but I don't know how bad.

  24. Dragon's Dogma isn't as stupid as the name makes it sound. Color me interested

      Yeah, the name is pretty terrible.

  25. I would love to see an open-world CRPG LotR game. I have high hopes for War of the North, but we'll see how well that goes. I love to see open world games, sandbox or not, its just fun to explore a city, world, or something of the likes. I honestly would love to see a single player game that has the scope of Just Cause 2, in a fantasy style RPG. You go online and it can have up to 16 other players along with you, but you can only group in teams of up to 6 or 8, similar to how RDR does its multiplayer, but its the full single player experience. You can choose offline or online and group with other players. You can go into a "friendly" match, or an open world match. You team up, split loot and move on to the next. To be honest I would like to see a game in any genre take up that kind of multiplayer. RDR is almost there, and thank goodness for it. I would also like to see a really awesome Robin Hood Action RPG. As you can tell I like third person action games with character progression.
