Hot Heart

I found out who what's-his-name is and remembered this. Can't believe I ever forgot his name.

Heh. I wasn't directing that assessment at you or anything. Apologies if you took offense. You have every right to enjoy the game and however you see fit. I just meant that, by then, I'd lost all faith in S-E to deliver a decent FF game and paid absolutely no attention to FFXIII as a result.

I guess we are guilty of being the only people to ever change the meaning of words over time. :shifty:

I thought what's-his-face with the beard and long hair was originally the main character but then they were all 'No, it has to be a young kid. We can't have an older person as the protagonist'. I seem to remember reading that somewhere. I think it's about that time you realise Square-Enix have no fucking clue what they're doing.

Is it a crime if it's not?

I, uh, think everyone hates that game. Well, except fucking hipsters and their aggressive sarcasm. Am I missing something here? (I'm tired) This is the thread where you name games you like that everyone else seems to hate, so this is in the right place?

Also, I forgot to say that, like Smooves, I'm not sure Favreau is right for the Iron Man films either. Cowboys & Aliens looks interesting though.

First, discussing comics in Poony's status. Now, I'm going to discuss sitcoms in the comic thread. The above is what bothers me about Curb Your Enthusiasm. It has some great situations and Larry David is obviously very astute with his observation, but the improvisation just ruins it for me. Too often they just fall back on yelling at each other. Of course, this is said by someone who has only caught 5-6 episodes and is a big Seinfeld fan. And onto Iron Man, I thought RDJr. was good but the actual Iron Man stuff and action was very tame (probably budget reasons). Didn't help that the villain stuff was boredomtown.

Umm...haven't you linked a game image with the title in the filename EVERY TIME?

Gotta get the points in while Yant and Bouch (and other US folk) are asleep!

I'm not entirely sure it's 2. Just looks crappy enough to be PS1 but is obviously not set in a creepy mansion like the first one.

Resident Evil 2.

The shield is iconic! Who else would have that shield...

I just saw the shield and recognised it. No idea who the guy on the right is...

Just finished Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light in co-op. Awesome game. Should get back to some other unfinished games...

Captain America? Captain America and The Avengers?

Having briefly played the Wii version of Ghostbusters at Christmas (well, mostly watching my sisters play it) it actually seemed alright. Graphics were just soooo terrible though. I wouldn't usually grumble about graphics, but this made it hard to figure out what was going on.

Funny thing is, inFamous is quite different. I think I had higher hopes for inFamous but that was to do with the setting and story. I mean, they were better, but it wasn't quite as 'fun' as Prototype. I think I'd unfairly built up inFamous to be something like 'No Man's Land' from the Batman comics, and there'd be some sort of 'rebuilding society' and stuff going on. At least something more than mostly zapping dudes in weird gangs. Still good fun, yet I never felt like the ultimate badass that the videos showed (or how Prototype played).

Seriously, I was lolling while remembering it. Oh, in case it wasn't clear, everyone being vampire mobsters was the actual 'twist' people telling me about it had managed not to spoil.

Prototype! ...and, because it's actually quite a similar game, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Prototype had a dumbass story and characters (as do a lot of games) but I found the actual gameplay pretty fun (in short bursts). There were actually a few missions where you had a bit of leeway for how you could achieve things and I thought that was pretty cool considering a lot of sandbox games rarely nail that. By no means, a great game but it was pretty good. Same sort of thing for Web of Shadows, really, except it had some funny writing. I felt it really captured the feeling of being Spider-Man, and the combat was loads better than in the previous sandbox games. I had a lot of fun with it.

I rarely dream/remember dreams but last night's was crazy. It started with me apparently going to watch a DVD of some TV drama that lots of people had said was really good. I think it was State of Play, except I've seen that and it is good...and nothing like what follows. So I start watching it but then, in the way dreams work, I was also the main character. Except I wasn't myself, but someone who looked a bit like the guy from A Prophet (which I've not even seen). All I can remember is that 'I' was at work but for some reason I knew one of the 'twists' would be someone trying to kill me. But because I knew this, I made sure to get a gun. So, when the person came to kill me (who turned out to be a regular customer), I drew my gun before they could get theirs, and killed them. And then I got away with it because it was self defence...and because there was a guy there of some authority (I can't even remember what) who had witnessed the whole thing and said as such. Then it got weirder... It turns out, there are, like, rival vampire mafia gangs (WTF?!) and that we have to watch out for each other and that my cousin (who actually works in the family business also) is possibly a target for assassination. It's at this point that I realise everything had been taking place at night, and everyone was dressed like a biker/Arnie in Terminator. So, in typical dream fashion, there my cousin is across the street from the shop, and I go over to talk to him when suddenly a car pulls up and my cousin cries 'It's him'. So then we go hide behind a wall and peer out. OK, so I spot this guy is a little person (probably Peter Dinklage looking like he did in Elf) and decide to jump out and start beating the crap out of him, throwing him around. I think part of the 'fight' moved into a cornershop (convenience store) which happened to be across the road (isn't in real life) and I trashed the place. Next thing, I know, I'm riding a motorbike home. But it's like something out of Easy Rider except it has an actual gear lever...that I keep having to look at. Last thing I remember was avoiding the little speed humps in a road I travel down a lot and seeing moonlight shining through the trees. So fucked up. tl;dr: I am a vampire mobster who dresses all in leather and picks on little people.

You'd have a piece of pizza or piece of cake. Hence, why I was never seeing Battra's distinction. I think it just varies case to case?

Quite the opposite of the UK legal system! DO HO HO HO!

First image is a drill bit... You'd say a 'bit of' something, but it's informal. No distinction there.

Hmm...NeoStarr... Ikaruga?
