Its a relatively new Submarine Simulation game, I've heard some good reviews about it, but I've learned to take them with an industrial sized bag of salt.


After that immature and retarded X-Play review, I'm not touching that game with a 10 foot pole.

Besides, any time I buy a PC game it's wasted money. I never play anything on PC.


Huh? They gave it a 4.

I've had it for 2 days now, I just need to clear off some space on my hard drive.

The score was good, but the review with all the "Seamen" jokes and the stupid "Animation" segments was idiotic.

I don't know what the deal is with those Animation segments, it must be that they *have* to be more immature than before under contract to G4 or something.

God I miss the TechTV days and I'm sure they do too.

But nothing was more unforgivable than CHANGING THE DISEMBODIED VOICE. THAT made me mad.

Damn straight.

Who the hell is this new joker? He sounds like he came straight from the MTV Host rejects.

I also didn't like the way they played it out over the episodes making you *think* he was coming back.

Yeah--I thought the same thing. It was like the "Meet the Sess" episode, but serious. This was like the comic book death of Supergirl. People kept looking for the wink, looking for the way out... but it never came, and the X-Play viewers fuffer now!

The original guy was hilarious; the new guy... I swear I haven't heard a worse announcer since Season 3 of Dragon Ball Z. (I don't know if you'll recall old sandpaper voice?)

I'm sure you can probably find a season three episode VHS or something. The announcer sounds like his throat is made of.. gravel or something.

Heh. I figured you would say that.


Meh. Perhaps I can find a sample on the 'net.

Well whoopdy-doo.

What kind of graphics card did it come with, or do you know?

Radieon 300X, I believe. It will run Farcry... with ALL the ground blue and grassless.

I've got a Radeon 9800 Pro, its in its 3rd generation, but it runs most of todays games like they're nothing.

*Impressed whistling noise* Sounds nice. Still, I don't PC-Game enough to justify a pricey new Video Card.

To tell you the truth, it really hasn't seen that much hard use since I stopped playing Counter-Strike: Source.

I should go back to playing CS:S... And HL2...

All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

It was fun for a while, but I think I prefer games like battlefield better.

Does Battlefield require a fee to play online? If not, I could so play that game now that I have a good computer AND highspeed internet.

I was never gone. I've been posting pretty much all this week. Only in a few threads, though. Not much else worthwhile to say.
