Will that run on a C64?  A C64 is a PC...

Probably.  I don't know, just download it and try!  Or you could donate $10 to the poor people.  And by 'poor people', I mean: your mother.  And by 'your mother' I mean: me.

lol, that had nothing to do with you.  Didn't even notice you mentioned the C64.

But I did! I'd rather play Tass Times in Tone Town on an Amiga emulator though. Same for The Faery Tale Adventure. My father/arsehole was the games photographer and package designer for the aforementioned game.

Wow, that's cool (the photographer/package designer thing, not the arsehole thing obviously).

DarkGryphon- don't read the next paragraph.

Everybody else, there is a shortish demo for Force Unleashed II on XBL and PSN.  There's also a new trailer with quite a bit of footage that's new to me.

After you check it out: Vader's voice seemed to be really off to me.  Was it that bad in the first game?

I've really been enjoying Red Faction Guerrila.

Which has me concerned... I've pretty much really loved every game I've played recently.  Is there something wrong with me?  Have I lost my discerning edge?  Or have I captured it in a bottle to the point that I only buy games that I'm going to absolutely love?

Symphony of the Night, BioShock 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Banjo Kazooie, Dark Siders, Red Faction... each one has hooked me as much as the previous...

In fact, the only other games I've really played through in the sime time frame were Batman Arkham Asylum and Uncharted 2, both of which I enjoyed but not to the degree that I enjoyed the other ones.  But those two games were "Game of the Year" nominees/winners and for the most part the other ones weren't.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME?!?  (Don't answer, Frink... I already know what you're going to say.)

So let's talk about Fallout: New Vegas.

I'm only about 10 hours in, but I'd say it stomps Fallout 3 already. Obsidian brought back a lot of stuff from the first two games (Traits, the Survival skill is back), there's more of an emphasis on crafting (you can create herbal remedies and you can craft your own ammo), and the writing just seems better.

Also, take the Wild Wasteland perk. Do it.

I've already seen some crazy shit and love the icon it puts up whenever it occurs.

Even read if you have a character of very low intelligence, you can be "McShoot".

Anyone playing with Wild Wasteland catch "Owen" and "Beru" yet?  That gave me a laugh.

Google's telling me nothing, what's McShoot? :P

Random guy on a website took a bunch of screenshots of conversations from Fallout 2 where his character was an extremely low intelligence person. Hilarity ensued and McShoot talked in "cavespeak". Very entertaining.

Anyone playing TFU2? this game is friggin SWEET! Love the Maulkiller Skin and the exclusive silver saber crystals, the Collector's Edition crystals are great to.

I'm pretty much broke.  By that, I mean I have no fun money currently.  I did pre-order Rock Band 3 + Keyboard some time ago (time to dust off Porkins and The Came From Behinds) so I'll get that any day now.

That means I don't have Red Dead, or Fallout NV (or even Fallout 3 yet!) or Force Unleashed 2, but I did just snag Mass Effect 2 for $10 at Blockbuster.  I haven't been totally in love with the first one, and I need to probably just finish it at this point... so maybe I shouldn't have plunkered $10 on ME2... but I'm hoping it proves to be a wise move.

On a lighter side, my 15 month old helped me decide what to spend 2400 pts on this month by buying "Sonic 4: Episode 1" for 1200 pts ($15).  He did it without turning the TV on, but turning an xbox controller (and therefore the xbox) on and pushing A seven times to confirm the purchase.  Yay!  Too bad the game is really not to my liking, or I might not care so much.

Ah well... the price of raising kids.

Did anyone get a Kinect(Natal)?

I hear they can't be found on store shelves, but I don't know of anyone personally that has one.

I have a bud who works for MS who might be able to get one for me cheap.  But probably not until there's stock.

I think we (you and me) talked about this when it was first released, but I bought the full version of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light for my wife for her birthday.  It seems to be the perfect wife/girlfriend game.  We're having a tonne of fun!  You should check out the demo if you can.
