Damn dude. That's pretty slow. What kind of connection do you have. It takes me about 40 - 45 min. for a 2.5 GB file on PSN, and about 30 min for the same size on XBL.

I haven't played anything lately. First due to all the Christmas visiting and today I woke up with the flu. I did get my flu-shot about a month ago but I guess they missed this strain because I feel like total crap. Sad

I HATE when that happens.

*...then, of course, as a sign of respect for my fallen, loyal steed, I skin it on the spot where it died and sell it's hide and meat at the local general store for some spending cash!*

*evil giggle!*


Nope. The horse ran away.

So I killed it on the spot for being a fucking pussy.

LOL Yeah those cougars will fuck you up right quick.

Congrats on the 3DS preorder Leo. I wouldn't mind putting some money down for one myself.

Where is everyone? I see how it is, I show up everyone runs away.

Anyway last night a friend of mine helped me fix my old PS3. We did the whole glue thing that you can see on youtube and it worked. I was able to transfer all my save files over, even the locked ones. Happy I choose not to have installs or downloaded games transfer cause that would take way too long so that is what I have been doing today, my new PS3 has been downloading stuff all day. Soon I have to reinstall all my games, they should all fit since I have room now. Today i sold the 60G to GS, got $150 for it and got GT5.

Wait... WHAT!! You fixed your old PS3? That's awesome that you were able to get some money out of it.

So BlazBlue 2 is coming out for the PSP next spring, and it looks like a better and more complete version than the consoles, minus the graphics.

I knew Arc System Works was going to do this! They ripped us off like holding back content with expensive DLC characters, and now they're releasing the PSP version with all the DLCs and probably an updated story/arcade mode where you can play the new DLC characters in those modes.

They pre-planned this all along!

Heaven help me since I'll probably buy this for my PSP, but I'm still a little upset!

Also, anyone here play the UFC games on consoles? I'm really thinking about picking up the PSP version. The reviews are saying that it's surprisingly a really good port. Anyone play the console version?

Yup! Console version of 2010 is pretty neat, yet complex like you wouldn't believe.

Merry Christmas GG. Sorry you're not liking Reach so far. I hope things improve for you as the game progresses. Personally, I found Reach to be the best Halo title ever.

I enjoyed it some more last night, got to the space ship battle which was cool. Kind of like a slower Rogue Squadron. I'm still not feeling the Halo vibe, I think the music is the biggest factor but the story isn't connecting with me either. I would say Halo 1 is my fave followed by 3 then Reach, then 2. I recorded a video last night of the AI in Reach, I'll post it sometime this week, can't believe the AI is still getting stuck all over the place or wistfully hanging around the side door of the Warthog when you just want them JUMP in already. I think when I finish Reach I will sell it and then play Halo 3 again and wait for the Halo 1 remake. Or use the cash to buy ODST as Edgecrusher likes it.

BTW, what am I supposed to be doing with the forklift trucks? Is there any point to driving them or is there a Shenmue fan at Bungie?

You're lucky you don't have my connection, you'd have to leave it on overnight.

GG...DKCR impressions, please.

I played some more, just passed the mushroom world selection of levels. Considering that Retro's expertise lies in first person adventure games, it's pretty remarkable what they have done here, to produce such a well polished and engaging platformer.

That said I would be one of the guys who gives it a 8/10 or something, it's very solid, looks be-autiful too. The rocket barrel sections I hate, one hit deaths and just tapping a button to make it through. Also the mine cart ones can be annoying. Mostly I do fine but in the cave world selection of levels I super guided 2 of the levels. As I watched Super Kong do his thing I just saw how ridiculous - yet epic those levels were. It's what I expected all of Bit Trip Runner to be like, they basically want you to do a level perfectly all the way through or face a one hit death. Really harsh.

Also the guy who recorded the super kong playthroughs isn't very good, he misses all the jigsaw pieces and KONG letters. The NSMB wii guy is like a demon in comparison.

One thing that bugs me is the trial and error, you can be happily jumping about on solid platforms and then in the blink of an eye the next set of platforms will set off this chain of crumbling deaths that you couldn't even see coming. So you die and restart and remember the point where it all began.

Overall though, I like DKCR a lot, as it's old school and you can quickly play chunks here and there. Honestly though it wouldn't even be in my top 5 of the year.

The AI gave you trouble? I guess it's hit or miss. Purposefully, in all vehicle segments I let the AI handle the driving, and I never got stuck or had an issue. Enemy AI was very good as well, taking cover when injured, flanking you in groups, and sticking plasma grenades with frightening precision.

Gameplay is tight, but I loved the story and its characters. As the plot unfolded, it gave you a feeling of hopelessness unmatched by the power trips of the Master Chief Halo titles.

Damnit, you let the AI do all the driving? I purposely swing completely the other way. I always have to drive. On the two occasions I haven't, the AI has suicided me or driven up to an obstacle and then had to reverse slowly whilst I get shot to death.

The Elites in the white outfits and some in the orange-bronze outfits are the only ones who are annoying, the white ones in particular just jump all about the place randomly or run about incoherently like their pants are on fire. I aim my cursor at the white ones and they just hops from left to right inccesently like he's taunting me. Or starts running about around objects with no sense of place or cover.

It's more the friendly AI, sometimes I am with a character and he gets stuck on scenery so I can't progress. I try to smack him out with a melee with no luck.

I haven't really gotten into the plot yet, does it pick up after the spaceship battle? I'm used to Halo being big and grand, sort of a spectacle stage setting, so all this talking between the squad stuff seems quite deft and quiet in comparison. Honestly it's hard to hear the audio of their voices too and I'm sitting 2 feet in front of my speakers.

I loved Halo: Reach as well. Really enjoyed the story which I thought was pretty epic. I totally loved the music. I didn't care for the friendly AI when they were driving if I was the gunner but the rest of the AI both friendly and enemy was pretty good. I always chose to be the driver which worked out quite well since they were good gunners. Definitely my favourite Halo game in the franchise.

What I do is ride about in the warthog as a driver, do circles around the bad guys and try to wait for the gunner to take them out. Or I try and run people over. I will never lose my love for the warthog in Halo, it's the best part of the games IMO. I wish I could shoot and drive at the same time though.

Do you think I would enjoy ODST over Reach at all? What are the main differences?

Hmm I don't know. You might like the story or the way it was told more I guess. Since you don't play multiplayer you won't miss the lack of online matchmaking.

BTW why doesn't your username show up on the recently spotted list?
