So, who else is excited for L.A. Noire? The more I see about it the cooler it looks. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gameplay-series-l-a-noire/710342 I'm especially intrigued by the investigation aspects of the game, and the fact that you'll need to attempt to tell when the characters are lying. DISCUSS!

Screw you guys.

Well the rarity of the starters is easy to get around as long as you have two, you just restart one of them a couple of times and trade the starters back and forth.

Only Infinity Ward stayed away from online achievements, Treyarch is all about them.

I never do online achievements either. I have actually chosen not to buy games on the basis that they have online achievements, because I hate them so much.

Jesus Christ, who would ever pay that much? Even the sale price is ludicrous.

I know that this isn't technically about "Achievements", but I am damn proud of this: The 100% score, but even more particularly the Mile High Club achievement.

Fans are real weapons IRL though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_fighting_fan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_fan

Do those games still only allow one save file?

I'm still thinking of importing it once we can confirm that there's at least English subtitles on the disc, unless they announce a US release in the semi-near future.

I've never actually played any of these games before, but I bought Europa Universalis III on a Steam sale, so maybe I should bump that to the top of my list.

Hey brain, do you know if Jade Empire works with a 360 pad?

Wikipedia says it's on the Wii as well, but only in Japan.

To me score and completion have about the same weight. I'm happy to see that I'm over 50% though.

I feel like such a nerd, I actually read this as the word "mercury". I didn't even notice that you'd used the atomic symbol until I reread it.

That was their plan all along; they only pretended to be your friends so they could steal 2 of your DVDs. You were fools to fall for it!

Yeah, you're gonna get either a large condom or a gun. Also, salmon is the best fish, not cod, and cod is also slang for penis.

This cracked me up:

People are stupid, and believe whatever the first thing they hear is.

Yante, no love hate for Paradise?

UK: Budgerigar, "budgie" US: Parakeet I was reading and came across that word and was like "wtf is that? sounds Australian." It is Australian. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budgerigar Obligatory Simpsons quote:

Is it just me or has every single usage of that TMI tag been on one of my posts?

Yeah, it shouldn't be getting that big that fast.

There's a Phantom Hourglass rom floating around that's hacked to let you use the d-pad.
