Hot Heart

They're more covert weapons though. If the game were Assassin's Creed then a fan might be acceptable, they are not tools for melee combat.

That's why I edited it. I looked at it afterwards and thought 'No, that isn't right...' Guess I was not ninja enough!

A cod is the same here. Doesn't stop words having different meanings.

Surely a cave is where you're most likely to run into Fox News itself.

I think these (there are multiple parts) might make for a good read then. By a guy who worked on God of War. http://lowfierce.blogspot.com/2006/05/why-some-games-feel-better-than-others.html

Maybe not major, but often overlooked: I think if you're using an over-the-shoulder view, you need to include an option of which shoulder you prefer to be looking over. As in, include it in a menu; don't just make it a toggle on a button.

That doesn't even make sense.

Seriously, anyone who does not pronounce it this way should die.

The needler. I love Halo but I do not like that weapon. It looks stupid, it sounds stupid and it's only really any good for one kill.

I think the industry, namely developers, need to look at what's achievable. Because of the new methods of distribution, it's much easier to get something out there without going through console licensing issues and such. What I mean is that, not everyone should be trying to make a big-budget £40 console game. You see so many games fall by the wayside because of over-stretching themselves. I think Double Fine may be heading in the right direction (although, you could argue their new downloadable games are a little overpriced). This being: seize upon a simple idea and make the most of it; don't let it overstay its welcome. And that's what most cheap games are: a pure and simple premise. It's what Tetris is (the game that made the Game Boy such a hit). I'm not even saying it has to be a cheap portable game, even something like Earth Defence Force 2017 fits the bill. Finally, of course you need big-budget games. There's not a single person here, who wouldn't want them. The quality and complexity of the work is not cheap. I understand why some are quite expensive, but not all of them need to be so expensive.

If it's a script, I come up with a basic idea of what I want to do and try and create characters to suit that. Then I try and get an idea of what the plot will be and start writing from there. Then I'll get stuck. If it's a song, I usually have a riff that gets stuck in my head or just comes to me. From there I try and think of a line that works really well and build off of that.

I love GTA IV. I'm not sure what it is about it exactly. The story was OK but really dragged towards the end and some of the missions were dire, but I just love driving round the city. I think it's partly because it was my 'first' game on an HDTV and even though it wasn't a pretty game, it was still visually wowing (the lighting was great).

Wow. Never has one story contained so many people I do not care to hear of.

Oh, The Office reminded me of something funny. The US has T. J. Maxx while over here it is called T. K. Maxx. Why? I don't know!

No. It's Killzone. trollolololololol

Finished watching Red Cliff. It was good but not great. I think I expected far too much of it.

Whaaat? Americans don't have Cornettos? You poor people.

The hell is wrong with you people?! Hot Fuzz is part of the Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright 'Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy' (Shaun of the Dead was the first; we are still awaiting a third). They sort of spoof but also have a lot of respect for the genre tropes the films would fall under (zombie film and action film, respectively). I would recommend watching their first collaboration, Spaced, as well.

Ha. Hot Fuzz is on TV right now. I actually need to rewatch that sometime.

Would you prefer it came out his butt?

I always felt him having this amazing web-shooting technology that he developed was a little odd. And that's saying something.

I was top of the leaderboard for Castles Made of Sand on expert drums in Rock Band 3 because I was the only person to 100% FC it. Not really much of an accomplishment because I bet it was only for RB3 and on that particular system...and I bet people had achieved it before...and now other people are up there with the same score too... Go, me! Although, I am in the top 300 for a lot of songs on expert drums. In some cases, the top 100 (probably less popular DLC).

Haha. Curse you for getting my hopes up!
