Also- C3PX- Someone (not me) got you playing BS2 multiplayer, eh?  I've currently traded my BS2 to a friend for his ACBrotherhood.  Are you enjoying it any more than you did before?  After level 20, I figured I had seen what there was to see... but I'd enjoy playing it again if I I knew someone going through it as well.  What level are you at and are you going to keep playing?

And Borderlands- tons of fun! 

Awesome! Glad you like Borderlands. What does the wife think of it? (I assume you are playing through it with her?) Aside from Lego games, it is so far my all time favorite "date" game. One of the few games I have gotten every single achievement in, because it is just that good (those Mad Moxxi achievements suck though!)

Actually, it was you that got me playing BS2 multiplayer. Last time we played Reach together we talked about Protector Trials and BS2 multiplayer, but if you recall I told you I had loaned my copy to a friend. Ever since that conversation I had been looking forward to a chance to play it again, and just now got my copy back and had a chance to do so.

Just reached level 10, can't see myself going much higher than that though. BS2's multiplayer really highlights what a horrible first person shooter Bioshock actually is. Fortunately, Bioshock is much, much more than just a first person shooter and really shines as what it is, which is all you see in the campaign. But when you are playing a typical rip off of a generic first person shooter multiplayer mode, it really highlights how much the first person shooter aspect pales.

I've entered a new age of Sony gaming and have finally got a Playstation 2.

Any recommendations as to essential games to play and essential games to avoid?

Yay! Sounds like me on here several years back. The PS2 was my reintroduction to gaming after years of having no interest. I asked for recommendations in this very thread, and was suggested some pretty good ones.

-Shadow of the Colossus (highly recommended)

-Ico (if you play Shadow of the Colossus and like it, then this is worth tracking down)

-Giants: Citizen Kabuto (love this game! Original, fun, ridiculous, and usually only a couple of bucks at used game places in the States. PC version is superior, but not for much reason other than censorship, PC was rated M but PS2 version was clipped down to a T)

-Half-Life (If you like first person shooters, this is one of my all time favorites, though pretty archaic today... but then again you did just now finally purchase a PS2)

-Resident Evil 4 (though the GC version has better graphics)

-Bully (I am not a fan of Grand Theft Auto, which is basically what this game is, but with bicycles and school yard pranks, but I still found the game pretty fun)

-Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 (If you are into these kinds of games, these are a lot of fun)

-Two Towers and Return of the King (these are actually really fun slash em up arcade games. Nothing super spectacular, but these are usually a type of game I don't appreciate at all and I really loved these)

-Okami (always highly recommended to me, unfortunately I never bought it until I already had my 360 and have yet to even play it. But, it looks pretty amazing and I've heard no end to reports that it is, so I feel pretty safe in recommending it)

Why do we feel the politics thread needs an antithesis?

Nanner, kind of a weird insignificant question, but are they pressed or burnt DVDs?

Whoa, Twister, is Chuck wearing chucks with a suit in your sig pic? The picture is small, so I can't really tell, but those definitely look like the soles of Converse All Stars. If so, that is awesome and makes me very happy! I have often wanted to do just that, and honestly, in this day and age I think I could get away with it.

Your mom was fiiine in 1957! Wait a minute... you're not Fink!

I need to watch Moon, it has been recommended to me multiple times. Sounds like Duncan Jones needs to be on my radar of directors to keep an eye on. If I like it I will have to add Source Code to my list of movies to watch.

Sucker Punch, what an amazing movie. 10/10.

Awesome! Glad someone else liked it. All the bad press feels a bit predetermined and a little unfair.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

How'd you survive it?

I kept wanting to turn it off, but then Jacob would show up shirtless...

Well yeah, that was the only way I made it through.

Wazzawazzawazza

 That's a God awful small affair to the guy with the mousy hair.

Slow down, I'm gonna spurt - AHH!  Oh, sorry.  You shouldn't have fucked me so hard."

You too, eh?

TV's Frink said:

Wow, my joke appears to have backfired on me ;-)

Hehehe. Did it ever.

twister111 said:

Hm,... well my timing sucks...

Damn. And to think, I posted that just for an extra push of encouragement. Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep spending my free time on Doctor Who.

Bingowings said:

I go for just the caption if I were you (no pictures).

Oh, me too. That would make it all the more obscure, which is the point. Just such a random weird thing to say on a shirt, only people who have seen that particular episode (and have good memories) would get the reference.

TheBoost said:

... and the Politics thread makes me nasty

Aww, come ON! The politics thread could use your nastiness. It is all in good fun!

Sooo, what is this thread again? Poor specification of thread purpose leads to Finkisms (see Twister's post for details).

Doctor Who season three episode ten, Blink. Time travel story telling at its finest. Now my life cannot be complete until I have a shirt that says "The Angels Have the Phonebox".

Poor doubleofive.  I feel the conflict in him...

 

If this is a joke, I get the impression Mr. O'Five is in on it. His reaction to Adywan's behavior seemed a bit staged...

I saw nothing really that unreasonable about Ady's behavior, yet O'Five sided with Moth3r almost immediately and called Ady out for the way he was acting. Didn't seem very much like him.

No, it's really true! And the colars will be fixed!

Thank God! Those collars in the SE are atrocious!

TV's Frink said:

Didn't you hear that "my mom" jokes are the new "your mom" jokes?

Fink's mom's the new your mom joke.

I agree with Ron. This is all embarrassingly childish and makes all parties involved look really bad.

???

Parody of something, I take it?

I hated the RDJr Sherlock Holmes and have absolutely no interest in seeing the sequel. Weird.

You're grumpy.

Not grumpy, just wasn't a fan of Guy Ritchie's take on Sherlock Holmes.

Sucker Punch.

Been getting awful reviews. Saw it in an empty theater on a weekend evening. And even out of the few movie goers in the room, a number of them got up and left during the movie.

It wasn't anything spectacular, but I enjoyed it far more than I could ever imagine enjoying a typical popular action flick (which I don't even bother to watch). I think it had more merit as a film than the majority of the tripe that gets released these days.

Majora's Mask was my last Zelda game. I loved the concept, but I actually had a really hard time getting into it. I think the repetitiveness had a lot to do with it, not a fan of playing the same thing twice... let alone over a dozen (dozens of?) times. But so many good concepts.

Just a few years back I played the Minish Cap (and loved it), and then a bit of The Windwaker (made it a few castles in, just didn't grab me).

I've been ordered to watch Chuck, but have as of yet not done so. I am very fond of Adam Baldwin, I have been told he is awesome in it (by the person who told me to watch the show), so that may be enough pull to get my interest.

I don't remember Dessan being super hard, but I do remember it taking me a few tries to beat him.

As for the water temple, maybe it has just been too long, but I don't remember it being that hard. We are talking about the one in lake Hyrule as adult Link, right?

So, a lot of talk about Ocarina of Time. Was anyone here ever much into Majora's Mask?

Sounds like I have been missing out on a kinky good time!

TV's Frink said:

it's turned into a motorcycle/bodybuilding thread, so you can feel safe in continuing to read ;-)

Motorcycles and bodybuilding, eh? Not sure that makes me feel safe to continue reading, sounds a little too over the top vainly machismo for me. Probably safer in one of the random sports related threads that pop up all over the place.
