Red Dead Redemption. The cinematography, dialog, VA, everything about the cutscenes was amazing.

Why not Legion? @Sana: The Reaper IFF is almost all the way through the main story.

That PotC box is really cool.

There's a place later in the level where

Question with Arrival spoilers: Does anyone know what happens if

Yeah, glad I signed up this morning.

Does this count?

I believe it was set in the near-future at the time, but we have since caught up with that future. Could be wrong though, I'm not a Stargate fan.

That's not an American thing... I have never heard that before. The only usage I'd ever heard I imagine is how you would use it: Medicine, noun, a thing you give someone to heal them ("take some medicine") Medicinal, adjective, a word describing things that heal people ("medicinal herbs") *Edit* - I've heard both "cannons" and "cannon" for the plural. I think it's one of those things where "cannon" is technically correct but so many people say "cannons" that it's become accepted.

I guess it depends on how you define "new". I got what I considered to be a "new" PC when I replaced the mobo, cpu, RAM, tower and upgraded OS all at once, even though I kept the same PSU, HDDs, DVD drive and GPU.

Will do as soon as I figure out what game I'm playing.

Just completed Mass Effect 2. Got seven Shepards ready for import into ME3.

I thought it was good, but it wasn't as epic as I would have hoped the last bit of Mass Effect 2 would be. Also, I was pretty close with my guess based on the screenshots.

It's actually unknown whether it was the Geth doing that or whether it was something else.

You missed the point of what GOH was saying: from the publisher's perspective used sales are actually worse than piracy. A used sale is definitely a lost sale because that person was definitely willing to pay money for the game, whereas a pirated copy may or may not be a lost sale because there's no way to know whether the pirate would ever have bought the game or not.

I don't have any problem at all with "project 10 dollar" type initiatives if the content is included with the new game. I do, however, have a problem with Gamestop charging $55 for the used copy on day-two, knowing full well that the customer will then have to shell out an additional $10 to get everything that's included with the $60 new version. That's a problem with Gamestop though, not the publishers.

I think that if you can find a cracked version you could download without also distributing the data (like a torrent would) you'd be in the clear, legally. Yeah, what I did to try to get as close to that as possible was set uTorrent to only upload to 1 person at a time, and I limited the upload speed to 1 kB/s. I realize that's kind of contrary to the idea of torrents, but at the same time I imagine most of the people downloading it weren't doing so for legitimate reasons.

Last gaming wallpaper I had was a bunch of Halo Reach ones that cycled.

I think it's just that the two robots lend themselves more to advertisements than Chell does.

I think multiplayer is qualitatively different from singleplayer campaigns. Singleplayer campaigns have a (more or less) defined progression with an "end", whereas with multiplayer it's always completely different all the time. With singleplayer games you're playing through the story again ("replaying"), but with multiplayer you're not playing again you're playing more. That's just in general, it's not all-encompassing (a notable exception being The Sims). I think in terms of multiplayer the question would be which games have the most longevity, not which ones have you played more than 5 times.

Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST (not Reach yet, but I'm sure it will join once it's been out longer), Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Fallout 3, Star Wars: KotOR, Star Wars: KotOR II, Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mirror's Edge, Portal, Fable. I'm sure there's more that I'm not thinking of. As for the "why so many RPGs" question, I think it's like what GOH! said: RPGs have replayability, most FPSs really don't.

Yeah for most people bandwidth isn't the issue with OnLive, latency is.

Well I've beat it lots of times before, but I finally completed Mass Effect (the first one). I have now finished all playthroughs I want for import into Mass Effect 2/3. I have one playthrough of Mass Effect 2 left before I've completed that game too.
