  1. Saw this on Reddit a few days ago, and I think it describes what I'm feeling now for the WiiU. Like, I do have interest and ZombiU is a big factor, but I also remember the hype behind Red Steel (another Ubisoft title) that didn't live anywhere near it's perceived capabilities.
  2. I've spent half the day downloading Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One. I've always wanted to get into the series, but never put the money down to start somewhere. So why not with a free game? It's probably the best deal of all the free games because it's still marked as $59.99 whereas Infamous 2 and LBP2 have been $39.99.
  3. We'll find out in Part 3 because it's still up in the air as far as The Promise and Legend of Korra has gone. I mean... Anyway, Part 2 didn't really live up to Part 1 IMO. I think it's still good, but given that we're only given three parts and it's in the span of 10 months, I felt like the story that was setup prior in Part 1 was nearly absent in Part 2. Sure, Toph is a favorite character of mine, but I didn't need that big of a side story, especially when we had Aang's fan club going on too.
  4. John Carter. Just, I could go on about how the movie fails in a lot of regards with only a few redeeming qualities. However, what frustrates me the most is how my father, after how I kept telling him to rent the movie from Redbox, just desperately wanted to buy it. At the end of it all, he tells me the movie does suck and I give an appropriate, "I told you so." At least the female lead was attractive.
  5. Name: Barbara Age: 72 BRING ON THE ZOMBIE HORDE!
  6. Oh yeah, totally got Part Two yesterday. I was surprised how much time was spent on Toph's Metalbending Academy, and a little perturbed at how Zuko put too much trust in his father's words. Ozai was a terrible leader, thinking only of himself. Even if Iroh wasn't a Fire Lord, you'd think Zuko would have been like, "I'll humor you father, for mother's sake, but your brother would have been the better Fire Lord."
  7. What a Humpday is was today. I woke up at 5:30am, didn't nap, and did some of the most boring work. I can't even find something decent to eat and watch on TV. These first world problems, they're so draining.

  8. Depends on how much I have to do and if I'm lucky enough to get that much allotted time to play games.
  9. Speaking of those Seventh Day Adventists... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSYL2QNZV5E But on a more serious note, I don't care what others call me. It's clear as day to me and my non-Mormon friends that I'm a Christian, but there's also going to be something that rubs others the wrong way and sadly not everyone is going to call me by such a prestigious moniker. If only there was a way to please everyone... I know, I'll just believe what everyone else believes! Then I can be called all kind of fancy names!
  10. Well, yeah, but at least it won't be a background cameo or name drop.
  11. Interested to say the least since, you know, there will be known characters and not an entire cast of imitators.
  12. I don't disagree, but I know quite a few religious people who would. Well of course, because what faith comes down to at points is taking the irrational approach. With the virgin birth of Christ, you could give the rational reasoning that it was an unplanned birth. In faith though, you believe otherwise. Overall, in religion, you have faith in the doctrine and lifestyle. What seems to be a common practice now is we have these religious people becoming comfortable living like a Christian, or whatever. Yet, when you speak of their faith's doctrine, you can find those who loosely believe most of it. Sometimes, when I've talked to other Christians about the Old Testament, it's like they've forgotten that there was an Old Testament to the New Testament.
  13. It's like what Jon Stewart said on The Daily Show a few weeks ago; all of Christianity could be the result of a teen pregnancy, and Judaism where a man came down from a mountain with scribbles on some rock. He said something about Buddhism, like "someone who really liked food," but point is religion in of itself takes a "leap of faith" to believe any of it.
  14. I almost feel obligated to respond, but I fear I'll more so open a can of worms rather than anything else. But I have to try, because there were a few things that bothered me because of how opposite they have been in my life, and in others around me. You know, I went through a lot of crap just even being related to a few Mormons (mother and sister). About half of my friends were Mormons because a lot of people would either never associated with me or berate me, a non-Mormon at the time, about the religion. Did this prompt me to convert? No, it just made life a pain because it seemed that I was cursed with a social stigma due to others' decisions. Point is, I heard a lot of crap. Reasons, supposed facts, and etc on the false doctrine that half my family had committed their life to. If you look up anything against the faith in terms of doctrine and history, you will find a mixed bag of issued "truths." White salamander, black magic, top hat, and the list goes on. If you were to find yourself at a large Mormon event, like say the Manti Pageant, there would be protestors of other Christian faiths holding signs and pamphlets about "the truth." One such individual I had the pleasure of talking to was wearing a giant yellow sign, standing on a table and trying to sell these DVDs. He went on about how Joseph Smith would abuse women, about what went on during the translation, and again I could go on. Thing is, you ask him a question and he'd want you to buy the DVD. I stress my question a little more, like say, "How do you know Joseph Smith would hit Emma" and finally he said, "I don't know how or where, but it's on the DVD!" Again, where am I going with this? Basically, you can find reasons to justify your actions. When leaving a faith, you can find anything that would support your decision. You can do this for most anything because there is support in some form out there. That's the thing, support. About a month ago a friend announced on Facebook he was leaving the faith. He said he had no ill feelings towards the faith, but that he didn't consider himself a Mormon anymore. Do you know how people responded? They supported him. They didn't judge him, they didn't cram scripture down his throat, in fact they wanted to know if they were still friends and some if they were still on for this game they had planned later on. That's what rubbed me the wrong way about that article, that she felt only she would support her husband. I know in rural Utah you do get the more "hardcore" Mormons, but when my mother and sister temporarily left the faith, the people in church were still kind to her, they talked to her, they didn't push further without the consent of either one. About the only people who gave them hell for it was an old lady and other Christians who harassed her for "ever falling for it." I can only say so much because we're reading from her perspective. I don't want to assume anything, though I've been witness to similar occurrences. Does this say anything thing about my faith? No, what your reading is about somebody else's faith because that's not what I've gone through. Heck, I could tell you about this local marriage here in Idaho between a Mormon woman and an Anti-Mormon man that were married and divorce three times. It basically came down to a lot of compromise, but they were doing it all in the pursuit of "happiness." I don't really care so much what other people believe, that's "free agency" and all, but take the article with a grain of salt. Just this year alone I've read four "my Mormon" husband articles and how it somehow relates to Mitt Romney.
  15. I got my new headset today, but I have a question. Should I just use the headphone jack or use the RCA audio adapter cable? Any difference other than the latter adding on a few inches of cable?

      If you've got a headphone jack I'd use that. Fewer connectors means a clearer signal. I think the RCA adapter is more meant for using it with stuff like an Xbox that doesn't have a headphone jack.

      Not really. With video, S-Video will not be as clean is component because they're all separate, but for audio... go for convenience. Mine's wired in with RCA, but mainly because I have a weird sound card with RCA outs and it lets me listen to all my devices without replugging it to switch.

  16. Yeah, but the only way I see how it works is if the game can randomly generate human survivors. Then you have to wonder how many possible humans could be crafted.
  17. I forgot how anger people can get during E3. With how large gaming has become, I don't think we're ever going to see another "gamer centric" E3 because the companies are focused on a public appearance. Sure gamers watch E3 live, but the press are going to write those "new game thingy" national articles too.

      To me, the mainstream "hardcore" is about as relevant as the "casual" segment, just less likely to do something new... So just don't kill the niches I like and I'll have no reason to rage. :P Frankly as a fan of weird indie games and retro revivalish stuff, I find it funny that people are actually worried that soldier and space marine shooters might fade away under the glut of casual stuff.

      I mean... I still get more bullet hell shooters than I could hope to make good use of. Waggle games and family friendly stuff might kill CoD? I think not... and there's still plenty of room for other more original challenging non-casual experiences too. If there's any significant demand for something, there will be devs who want to make it, even if they can't afford to spend $50m to do it.

  18. Yeah, I'm definitely more interested in this game now. I have to wonder though... how many characters can you go through in the game? No "checkpoints," but there must certainly be a point where you can pick up the game again with the remaining characters at your disposal. If anything, this is definitely not for the gamer who lives by trial and error.
  19. Probably the better conference of the Big Three, but there were selective moments in each one that wowed me (and I imagine for most others too). As far as multiplatform and graphics go, it's going to be like the sixth generation. Technically speaking, the PS2 was the weakest graphically whereas the Xbox had more potential. Yet, most multiplatform games looked similar with only the largest of whores looking at specific details. So while the WiiU is going to start out as Nintendo's "catchup" console with Mass Effect 3, Arkham City, and etc, I imagine the exclusives should have "more" to them. Well, hopefully speaking of course.
  20. I now have a Tumblr, Imgur, and Reddit account. I believe this is what the kids call "the Internet" now.

      I don't know, at least Angelfire is still running.

  21. Interesting, but I'm seeing a lot of fluff. It's good presentation, and it reminds me of a mix between Assassin's Creed, The Saboteur, and some Deus Ex.
  22. The Last of Us made it worth watching Sony's conference.

  23. Imma double postin', but I finally got some of the bugs out of the video. For LP: I have more, but once the Sony press conference is over, I'm going to use my Tumblr.
  24. Well obviously since these are British zombies, they'll be more polite about ripping out your intestines. You know those American zombies, if it weren't for a ruptured stomach, they'd all be obese!
