I agree that nationalism is outdated and such, but the same time are you telling me that if North Korea invaded that you would be just fine and dandy with that? You wouldn't want to resist?

It had a kind-of-high-end (but still not top of the line) GPU 4 years ago when it came out.

In ME1 I actually settled on Soldier after not really liking the other classes. Originally it never really even occurred to me that I might want to play as a soldier, but it ended up being my favorite.

Oh, they're certainly using patriotic feelings of caring about the country and stuff to motivate the player, it just doesn't seem to me like they're trying to make America seem so "awesome".

Yeah, I figured it was sarcasm cause of the "?!"

Okay, and it doesn't seem like Homefront especially does that, it's more like "look how fucked up America is."

Okay, yes, I agree. What I meant was "the description obviously will give you gay dialog options."

Alright, if you spot game deals you'd like to share with people, post them here. There's also a Steam thread in the PC section specifically for Steam sales, but you can post them here too. I'll go first. http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=tsm_1_tw_vggb_20101101 Amazon's daily deal today is Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood on 360 and PS3 for $37.99. I really recommend this game. They're also doing lightning deals on games throughout the day. Right now is Borderlands GOTY for 25% off, next is GTA IV, etc.

I have. Maybe we have different definitions of "America Fuck Yeah"... To me it means "AMERICA IS SO AWESOME AND WE'RE THE BEST AND NO ONE CAN EVER DEFEAT US AND SHIT!!!!!!!1!!!111!!" Whereas Homefront more just uses it as something the player probably cares about, but doesn't beat you over the head with how awesome the US is.

Yeah, they really need to fix the netcode so the host doesn't have such a ridiculous advantage.

Sure, based on the premise you could make the game that way, but from what I've seen it's not presented in that manner.

That's the mirror.

I've actually never before heard that as a euphemism for being gay. When I hear "confirmed bachelor" I think more of a straight manslut. That said, upon seeing that perk it was still incredibly obvious to me that it made you gay.

Because I can pick squad mates who have those powers? And the way the power thing works activating my squad-mate's powers is exactly the same as mine. So really, the way I look at it, is that I get access to all the powers, and a fun shooting mechanic, while you are limiting your access to the shooting.

From what I've seen this game is WAY less "America Fuck Yeah" than like any other military shooter.

I can't get over how the random we got also went support. Freakin hilarious.

Yeah, the whitespace is weird. Maybe they gave themselves extra room in case they wanted to add really tall hats?

So this is a thread for posting your XBL avatar. To get your avatar just post an image with this code: http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/YOURGAMERTAGHERE/avatar-body.png Replacing "YOURGAMERTAGHERE" with your gamertag. Replace any spaces with %20. Here's mine:

Moved to the Event Planning board, also renamed it to make it clear it's talking about Xbox. Also bump.

I bought this on Steam as well, even though I already own the 360 version.

I expected it to be like the other thread, where it was mostly games with occasional other stuff thrown in. *Edit* - Ah yeah, clown saw that.

22F feels like 17, high of 36 (though cloudy) later. It's almost warm here.

My hair grows really slow. It grows about an inch per month.

Alright, so this is a thread for posting stuff you buy. It will probably mostly be game-related, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. I'll start: Bought the Steam version. *Edit* - Okay, Dean made a thread in General Gaming Chat specifically for game purchases. If you bought a game, put it there. http://board.pressxordie.com/index.php?/topic/172-games-youve-bought/
