But was it love I was fighting for, or my own selfish desires I was commiting murder for? It took far too long, but I came to realize it was the latter. And that's not something I was willing to do any longer. Once I laid eyes on the final colossus, I just sat the controller down. And I turned the game off. I still haven't beaten that colossus and I don't plan to.
I hope you didn't pay for that game with money out of your own purse.
You got modded funny. Looks like no Halo fanboys had mod points today. You got lucky. Your karma would have dropped quicker than a Halo player playing on Legendary mode, which if you didn't know, is where the game links up to Deep Blue via Xbox Live to supply it's AI routines.
It has some of the most clever AI (and its not a they-have-more-health-and-strength-than-thou situation, they really appear smart) in games even by todays standards.
Please. Stop. This. This bullshit is pulled out everytime someone speaks badly about Halo. It amazes me that people think that some sort of 'advanced AI' makes Legendary mode hard, when the enemies clearly lead perfectly with a highly increased rate of fire that kicks the living shit out of you if you stand in the open for longer than a couple of seconds. Just because you actually have to use cover because your enemies have been upgraded to wallhacking aimbots on the hardest difficulty doesn't make it 'tactical'.
Sometimes I amaze even myself... I was going to say 'Rise of the Robots didn't contribute to the end of humanity, it was probably more affected by Deus Ex 2', then I realised you weren't talking about a video game.
I'm starting to think that those people that tell me I need to get out more might just be onto something. I'll just finish this level first.

I really really like you.
Your Dungeon Keeper, Starcraft and Theme Hospital solutions have me wanting to play those games again.
I visibily out loud sang to a cranked Jump by Van Halen in my car on the way to work this morning, so guess you can mark me down for number 1.
I'm going to lie and say that I don't fit number 7, so I guess that means you can mark me down for number 2.
3 is definitely a concern - "ooh, cheap game, *purchase'd*"
hmm that ALSO affects no. 6... "now I have no money to pay off my internet bill"
My job as an accounting software programmer is slowly killing me, so number 5 looks to be a good one. I may very well drag myself into work when I'm nearly dead and shoot up the place, so that has to further my cause for number 5.
I don't fit number 7.
So yeah, I think I've got them all covered. But I'm not a fucking psychopath, and I you even suggest it again, I WILL KILL YOU.
Nah it's more than so many people say that ICO is the BEST GAME EVAR because it's artistic or something. It's become so cool to be an ICO fan. Although I'm hardly trying to start an argument, because I'm someone that thinks the PS2 is the best gaming console so far. Mainly because, like yourself, I base my opinions on the games themselves and no the console. But I do love the Dreamcast. I'm assuming I had a point, but you know, after a few codiene tablets for a migraine, I'm really struggling to remember what that is.
You called someone else a fanboy a sentence before mentioning you will play ICO thru for the tenth time. I just cancelled moderating any other post in this article because Slashdot doesn't have an 'irony' moderation. ICO is the poster boy for video game fanboy-ism, trailing only slightly behind Halo.
Haven't seen it mentioned, but it's a horror FPS that's set in a huge randomly generated building. There are screaming ghosts and silent dogs that look incredibly evil but make no noise as they just stare at you before attacking. It's very well done, with a old-skool movie style soft filter over everything that adds to the tension. It's a so-so game though, but the atmosphere is amazing. and it's really freaky.
The spiders in Doom3, the haunted house in Vampire : Bloodlines, most of AvP1 and 2 and the spiders/nurses in System Shock 2 have all made me pause the game and turn on the lights on occasion as well.
At the moment the biggest thing scaring me about FEAR is the preiodic crashing, with the screen going fully white with a hard lock requiring me to reset my pc. Nothing like walking down a corridoor and having the screen just blow up in your face to full corruption and having some noise start to repeat over and over again. It's kinda like Eternal Darkness, except un-intentional. But it's having the same effect on my sanity all the same.
Great, I spelled it with two L's again. Looks like it's yet another three weeks in Remedial English for me. At least all the Koreans in there just want to talk Starcraft all day, so it's not that bad.
""Sometimes doing the right thing means doing the hard thing. Are there developers who are disappointed? Yeah, sure. I wish there was a hard drive and I wish there were four terabytes of memory; I wish it were free to consumers and I wish we could put one in every TV set - there are a lot of wishes that I have but at the end of the day we're trying to run a business, and you have to make those trade-offs.

Why do people even print or read this bullshit. People don't get their wish for a standard hard drive, and he sympathises with them by saying he wishing for all this fanciful bullshit like being totally free to everyone and four terabtyes of memory. I know we all know this, but this is just obvious PR garbage that isn't even worth the time of day. I'm presuming Edge magazine now has a comedy section, although they didn't in last months mag, so maybe they hide bullshit like this on their website only where hopefully less people will waste their time reading it. They could include anything that Allard or Kutaragi says and put it next to their pretty bad comic strip.
It's not at all realistic. If they wanted at least some semblance of realism, make people have to wait 10 mins to resurrect when they die with the plague, or res with forced res sickness. Allow people to attack people that have the plague, and once they attack be attacked in return. Or even better, make the plague infect you with 'res sickness' as well as some damage, so you cant be a 60 warrior/priest group combo and just mow down all of IF. There are so many cool possibilities. So when someone tries to run around spreading it, people can take that person down, and prevent further infection. That would be much more entertaining than people running into the AH while infected and watching all the level 1 mules drop like flies.
Which lets face it, is pretty damn funny to begin with.
I actually thought that the plague was an awesome idea when I first saw it in effect, it meant that all these level 60s were running around like chickens sans heads calling for heals and bitching, instead of standing around comparing armor, pointlessly dueling or spamming LFG/LFM messages. It was champagne comedy.
The stupid thing is, if they had have uploaded a virus into the planes systems to take down it's defences, it would have actually MADE SENSE this time.
... is that the introduction of a PSP magazine with a playable demo UMD on the front cover is a possibility. I know I would be keen on paying $8-$10 for the option of trying out half a dozen PSP games just to see if I'm happy with the control scheme or the framerate or simply the game itself.

Spyro the Dragon - GBA
I think you'll find that a ps1 game that has been ported to the GBA is probably slightly different. I.E. no 3D. it's either top down or isometric.

He is only level 45, and a Palladin. That explains maybe the last two weeks worth of dupes. What about everything before that?

I dont know about that, we still ban lots of games.
Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas
Leisure Suit Larry : LSL
Manhunt
NARC
The Punisher game was banned for a while. I'm sure there are more.
Who are we talking to here, you, or your PR flunky? Just checking.
The Star Wars special edition DVD set thing also did this with Battlefront.
The stupid thing is, if they had have uploaded a virus into the planes systems to take down it's defences, it would have actually MADE SENSE this time.
It's gotta be door number one. It's not like a 'special edition' of a piece of shit movie is going to make people want to buy it.
"Okay so Stealth was a utterly horid movie, BUT I can watch the trailer AND a behind the scenes special, where is my credit card?"
... is that the introduction of a PSP magazine with a playable demo UMD on the front cover is a possibility. I know I would be keen on paying $8-$10 for the option of trying out half a dozen PSP games just to see if I'm happy with the control scheme or the framerate or simply the game itself.
thanks for the laughs. im in tears.
