I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
Uncharted 2 is the best looking game ever.
I've just done the best thing that i could do - i bought Team Fortress 2.
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
Just got Guitar Hero 5 for a party, but I don't know where my manual is for GH: World Tour so that I can export the songs! Is there anything I can do besides buy a brand new copy of GH world tour?
I just downloaded Deus Ex from bitgamer.

Finally made a japanese account on PSN because my friends were telling me to try out Bayonetta. And know I wish I hadn't because the game was pretty bad-ass. And damn uncharted 2 beta ended like 2 weeks ago.......... now I actually have to buy i!! ARGH
No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

Picked up Forza 3 on Friday.
The first intro race puts you into an Audi R8, which I had a bit of trouble driving. Luckily, right after that, they offer you a free crappy car to start your career, and I was able to use my own car! Or close enough anyway. My Aveo isn't the hatchback, but it handles just like the real thing (impressive body roll, hah). I'm on the easy difficulty with more than half of the assists shut off, and once I turned off anti-lock brakes (my car doesn't have them), I was doing even better.
First racing game I've picked up since GT3 (which I loathed), and so far, it's pretty awesome.

Free Champions Online trial weekend this weekend to promote their Halloween event. Gonna try it out.
edit: The patcher is insanely slow probably due to massive traffic.

My cousin and I played and finished Batman: Arkham Asylum this week and what a game. It felt more like you were playing as Batman, and not playing some bad game with Batman in it The atmosphere was amazing, especially in the Scarecrow and Killer Croc sequences. I haven't been so excited to play a game like that since we went through BioShock.
I was also very elated to see (hear) Mark Hamill doing the voice for the Joker and Kevin Conroy doing the voice for Batman because I used to watch the Batman cartoons in the 90s almost religiously.
On my DS I've been working my way through Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. After that I think I'll restart FF3 and then play through FF4.
You're preaching to the subscribers.
Happen to know if the patcher is cumulative? If say, my comp freezes or crashes, will the patcher leave off where I was? Or would I have to start from scratch. After 2 hours, the patch is barely at 22%.
From what I've been reading on the CO forums, if the patcher crashes (more likely than your computer), you're going to have to restart.
I've had it die on me before the past few months, and it just continued on. Something is really messed up this weekend (more than the regular outages and crashes). Cyptic must have staffing issues on weekends.
Well, ain't that amazing. Have you been able to patch to play? I hear the Halloween patch has been present since Oct 27 for subscribers. I read a bit of the forums too, and it seems a lot of people are having trouble connecting to the game server itself.
Also, I might plan to make an Ice hero. Any experience with them? Are they terrible? How do they fare?
I was playing on Friday, and unlocked the Celestial powerset early, but my HP Hardware Diagnostic completely killed the game on me earlier today, and I had to redownload the game off of steam. I've been patching since noon, now at 70% nine hours later. Steam's version is really old it seems.
As for ice characters, they were unstoppable the first month or so, until they got nerfed to balance pvp. Tons of holds and roots. I don't really play any of the elementals (too much fun with telepathy, munitions and mixed powersets). Ice is still very viable, just not for PvP. I will say it has some of the prettiest looking power effects outside of the new Celestial set. Truth be told I don't have much experience with them outside of getting held all the time.
Just don't pick Ice Slide as a travel power, it takes a lot of getting used to.
Aw, was gonna get it. Was gonna be all Bobby Drake-like. And yeah, I downloaded the version off Steam since their software downloads are usually blazing fast, and it was. Was hoping to be decent at pvp. Oh well, maybe I'll make a dual pistol munitions character, or something for an alt. That is, if I even get enough time to play during this free event.
I don't understand why Cryptic doesn't move to a P2P torrent system in preparations for massive server overloads like these. The least they could do was provide mirrors.
If you want to be decent at PvP, you have to follow the flavor of the month exploit crowd.
PvP in Champions is garbage. I like that CO has physicality in combat too, but if you want good PvP, just play WAR instead. I haven't tried Zombie Apocalypse though, as a different mode it might be better.
That said, CO's PvE is still a blast, and can actually be very challenging when you group up. The mobs can and will call in reinforcements.
Played Batman:Arkham Asylum on X360 at the relatives', not sure why it's rated so highly. The combat seems very boring, just a lot of button mashing of the same 1 or 2 buttons. The side missions are silly and more bothersome than worthwhile. What bugs me the worst is the voice acting. I guess I'm too used to the Bale/Ledger/Oldman voices from the new movies. We didn't get very far in the game, and I'm not missing it at all.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
It's funny to see you mention the voice acting. I agree that some of the voices weren't really fitting the part, like Commissioner Gordon and Killer Croc, but for the most part I thought they were good. Even Harley Quinn's voice was great, but it would have to be since they got her original voice actor.
Oldman and Ledger did a great job in the last movie, but Bale was just as awful as he was in the first one when it came to doing Batman's voice. It always sounded to me like he was just trying too hard...which always confused me because he's such a good actor. He was fantastic in American Psycho. And I didn't even know he was Welsh until a few years ago in that his North American accent always sounds so real.
