I could even go splitscreen with Mrs. O'Five if I wanted to.

I hope this is a gaming term ;-)

Surely you haven't already forgotten the splitscreening we did in my basement, Frink.

It was very special to me, and I will never forget.  It was so beautiful.

CCCP.  Nice!

WHY DO YOU EXIST WATER LEVELS?!?!?.

^ Y U No Not Exist, Water Levels?

Yeah- the phase walking to quickly get to the end of the area is a nice 'traveling' perk on top of any offensive capability it might have.

Thanks for the explanation.  Too bad I'm still not sure which to have my wife try.  :(

I thought 6 Discs of Tron was a video game :p

Discs of Tron - the title of my random thought, is a video game.

6 Discs of Tron is not.

However (6) Discs of Tron might be a song title.

I might have to keep playing BS and try to make it to level twenty (being a sucker for achievements and all). I still haven't gotten the Save a Little Sister one, wasn't near good enough to get even close, and I still don't have play a match on each original map, as bad as I am at it, it may take me until level twenty to get those.

The "win a game on each level" become statistically much more likely when you play team games.

And yeah- it was really hard to capture the little sister.  And then, as my rank moved up- and especially once I had the dash plasmid- it wasn't so hard.  The first little sister I captured I felt was a huge deal.  Then I've captured several more since then with little effort.

As far as achievements go- there's a reason I stopped right after reaching level 20.  ;)

 

What character class are you? My main character is the berserker. I think my level 17 is the hunter. If the sequel ever gets made, the characters being more customizable would be nice.

 

I have 2 level 15-16 characters.  The hunter (sniper/bird guy) and the Siren (girl).  Other than their special abilities (and upgrade path)- what's the real difference between the classes?  Starting health and weapon proficiencies?

I'm really asking- what should I get my wife to play?  She might want to play the girl regardless of any other reasons (sexist!) but I might recommend the berserker (punchy guy with a lot of health, right?) if he's a little more... forgiving healthwise and less accuracy dependent shooting wise?  She likes punching and kicking stuff in the X-Men legends and Marvel Alliance games...

 Hey, where did my big font go?

Hey 360 friends, I'll have one up and running within 2 weeks. Dunno about if I'l gonna do Live, but if I do, I'll let you know. On my instant to-get list:
-Arkham Asylum
-X-Men Arcade (XBL)
-Banjo Kazooie (XBL)
-Fable... ?

I'm not much on shooters, what would you guys recommend?

Yay Banjo Kazooie!  At least, Yay BK: Nuts & Bolts!  I really loved that game, but none of my friends really have.  Maybe someday you'll get Nuts and Bolts and we can be friends bkev*.

Fable (2) is alright.  Not my favourite.  Assassin's Creed is very good, especially 2 and 2.5.  Crackdown is also a fave non-FPS of mine.  Burnout Paradise is a great driving game, if that's your thing.

They have the GotY edition of Arkham at Ultimate Electronics for $20 - 60% off = $8.  Might be worth looking into.

I enjoyed the BioShockisms of it.  I liked hacking stuff, taking pictures of stuff, and the sounds and the looks.

Also- becoming a big daddy in MP is pretty sweet.  Finally a chance to get a good K/D ratio.

I'm not terribly into competitive MP, so maybe I'm not a good judge.  But I quite enjoyed it up til level 20.

Anyways- I've played BL (what's the short version of Borderlands?) with my zombie friend, and then recently with My wife's brother-in-law's brother.  I actually think (maybe ridiculously) that my wife will somehow fall for this game.  So I think I'll get to start another character with her.

And maybe you and I can play sometime.  You know, when you start a new character.  On a date.

If you guys both want to move here, I'll *give* you my games.  You can have pong, and space invaders, and rock paper scissors, and...

Tempting...  but I don't have time to play the games I have now. 

And is that Pong: Game of the Year edition, or just regular?  If GOTY, does it have all of the DLC on the Disc?  Or is it just download codes?

Did anyone here ever play 'Pong Kombat'?  It's exactly what it sounds like.

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! 

^ Which is sadly out of production.

You're looking for the 'stuff that they don't make anymore' thread.

I guess my favorite game types are quest based adventures (especially those of a dark nature so Silent Hill style games are a plus).

I mean, when you get to the Xbox 360/Japanese PS3 part of your gaming lifecycle.  Oh man, you're going to love this in 20 years.

I wish we lived closer, I'd love to borrow games from your Pile of Games You'll Eventually Play.

So, you'd borrow games if you lived in Missouri? :P

Alright, "I wish we lived in the same town."

I just wish you'd play online when Frink comes to visit.

I just bought Fallout 3 GOTY, Borderlands GOTY and Just Cause 2 for $35 total.

Darn you GameStop PowerUp Sale and buy 2 get 1 free coupon!

I shall play these games sometime in 2015.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is still awesome.  It's no Deadly Premonition... but it's pretty darn good.

DISCS of TRON!

I bought 6* Discs of Tron yesterday for $29.  So, I still have $46 from selling my Tron DVDs a couple months ago.  Yay!

I also got some games supercheap, but don't take my word for it.  You can read about it in the videogames thread. *bah-dahn-dahn!*

Where did the term "carp" come from?

 

Odds are it was a xhonzi typo, although I don't remember for sure.

Stob is definitely xhonzi's.

A xhonzi never makes typos.  He only types precisely what he meant to*.

Frink, did you really have to quote his post?    I really don't want that picture in my head.

What, you aren't down with some hot Gungan love?

 No.

Gunganophobe.

Thanks, all of you.  Your support in this time of trial is greatly appreciated.  Especially yours Warbler.  I didn't have time to read your link, but you suprized me with your expression of deep empathy for my PS3 related problems.

Thank you.

...or did thousands of Star Wars fans turn on their computer one morning only to find that their message board was dead?

 

I felt a great disturbance in the Force web, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

PS: I never thought I'd ever have to search for "6 breasted woman" on Google!

 What did you find?

I'm upset that just about everytime (okay... every other time) I go to watch a BD on my PS3 that there's another security update.  Since the updates usually take hours to download and install, I usually go ahead and watch the movie and then do the update afterwards.  I never do any (okay- almost never) BD-Live stuff, so it's not that big a deal... but this time I had to update my d-box receiver and so I wanted to watch some Netflix while I waited the 20 minutes for d-box to update.  BUT YOU CAN'T WATCH NETFLIX on the PS3 unless YOU'RE CONNECTED to PSN- WHICH YOU CAN'T DO UNTIL YOU UPDATE!

So I had to read a book instead.  :(

(And then the Mini Death Star blew up).

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

The Mario games haven't fared so well.  Mario 2 went a little astray and I don't know of anybody who really likes Sunshine...

I liked Sunshine until the end, when it got kind of silly.

??? Which do you mean?  The Mario Game, The Movie, or the... you know... sunlight?

That's it.  I'm leaving.
