  1.  

    I don't know what is worse, that there is someone as dumb as this (if it isn't fake), or that someone MARRIED HER!! I mean if I was with a chick and THIS came out of her mouth, I don't care how good she looks, there is NO way I could ever be interested in her. WoW....

  2. Spanish Whores to Spanish Bankers "No Loans, No Love"

     

    First prostitutes in Spain had to fend off "bar code pimps" imprinting ownership tattoos on them. Now top-shelf sex workers are organizing their own "Occupy CTBA," Madrid's version of Wall Street, and denying sex to the nation's bankers until they start offering loans to financially burdened families. Financial professionals have tried to circumvent the sexy-time stonewalling by posing as architects and engineers, but the ladies are onto them, claiming they'll continue their indefinite fiscal version of "Lysistrata" until bankers "fulfill their responsibility to society." @AlexDunnin tweets, "This is how to fight for financial sector reform and win." The ladies think they're on the right track, at any rate, with one worker stating, "We don't think they can withstand much more."

  3. Yeah some solid details would be nice. I have yet to read any MAJOR gaming mag reporting on the whole "Used Game" thing so I think they are waiting to see if it is more than just rumors, but even at this point they should be throwing out opinions. They have done more with less in the past.

     

    But really I don't get the whole "we are gonna make our console more powerful" when it really has no bearing on what is does as far as playing games is concerned. Unless they start opening up consoles Ahem consoles to make it so we can turn on extra video effects or something signifigant like that, there is really no point to being the "best."

     

    I would much rather they focus on making their console easier to work with, or offering FULL backwards compatability, as opposed to giving their console some badass CPU or GPU that they can't even take full advantage of. Unless their is some distinct advantage (other than sheer bragging rights) what is the point?

     

    But for me really all of these points will be moot if they make it so you can't play used games. I still don't see how they could ever hope to make it a reality. The two biggest retailers of games are Gamestop and Gamefly and they both base their whole companies profits on the ability to sell/rent used games. Granted both are making big pushes into the digital distribution market at present, but I know for a fact that Gamestop's profits are almost completely dependent upon their used game sales. They alone would fight MS and Sony tooth and nail, and they themselves represent the biggest contributor to the gaming market today. I just think there is tooo much money being made on used games at the present time for the industry to be able to just say "Hey no more used games!" But, honestly, stranger shit has happened.

     

    As an aside and completely off topic....Where can I find a TV or Monitor that has a resolution HIGHER than 1080p??

  4. So the PS4 will be more powerful than the 720?

     

    Is that like how even though the ps3 is more powerful than the 360, the 360 has more games in 1080p, and there is really no difference in visual quality or load times between the two?

     

    Way to go Sony! Lose even more money by putting in better equipment and then don't take advantage of that in any meaningful way.

     

    Also will this generation truly be the last gen that lets us play USED games?? I want to see how bad not being able to play used games fucks the console industry. I mean if they thought the backlash from DRM was bad, this is going to be a clusterfuck of EPIC proportions. Also I will NOT buy a console if I can't play used games.

  5. Ok so how many people here actually got the 100% ending? I think this may be a big reason behind why everyone is bitching. I haven't done ANY of the multiplayer, so my readiness for the sectors was always 50%. Now I had more than 4000 in my War Effort, but I didn't get no special ending like Arch said happens, so I think it is more than just having 4000 resoruces in the War Effort.

     

    That being said, yes people are bitching because they LOVED the game, and the ending just kinda flaked. Of course we may all be missing something, or they may have not released the true ending or whatever. But there is a general concenceus (sp) that the endings suck and that can't be ignored (from a design perspective).

     

     

    So did anyone do the "bad" ending? Or did anyone get an ending different than the Normandy crashing on some planet?

     

  6. First off I wanted to say in reply to those Idol Metal Videos....It really is no suprise a guy in a "Bullet For My Valentine" knows and sings Celine Dion, go listen to the band, it'll all make sense as they TOO try to emulate, I mean channel, Celine on many occasions.

     

    Now did I hear NZA say he "likes" Celtic Frost???

     

    Can you say GODDAMN!!

  7. I was gonna get ninja gaiden regardless. I'm a fan since Nintendo.

     

    I played the demo of asura's wrath n didn't like how controlled the gameplay was. I rather just watch a movie T_T.

    I gotcha there, it was very much just an interactive movie. But for being that I still thought it was decent. Though I need to go back and play it again and see how long the game is when you skip all the cutscenes, I would guess about an hour, MAYBE two...lol.

  8. Anyone seen "Shut Up Little Man?" Basically about two guys who recorded their neighbors fights back in the mid 80's San Fransisco. I found a few recordings, but if anyone knows anywhere I can find more that would be great. I will buy it eventually, but for now I must hear more, it's addicting!

  9. Did you stick with any particular class through most of it? I tried all of the classes and once I got past lvl 16 I tried out all the skills, but tended to go with a Ranged/Mage class. Still haven't beaten it, but I will get back around to it one of these days.

  10. I just finished watching Poolboy 2: Drowning out the Fury. It is a film about Kevin Sorbo coming back from Vietnam and not knowing how to adjust to life back in the states, starts up a Pool cleaning service. This is a spoof comedy/documentary and at times it is pretty damn funny, but other times it is just so stupid it borders on retarded (in a bad way).

     

    But seeing Hercules vs. Machete (aka Danny Trejo) is worth it. Don't watch it though if you have a problem with racism against mexicans and seeing lots of random titties.

  11. It isn't just about the last choice, but I would like some explanation of the consequences of my actions instead of just being told beforehand what will happen when I make either choice that is all. Some "personalized" ending isn't too much to ask considering the laundry list of choices that affect a lot of different things in ME3.

     

    Just showing people walking out of the ship on some planet at the end, like Mal has said

    WTF was Joker doing in transit at that time, it is jarring and comes out of nowhere. Then they crash and walk outside and smile. THE END...??

     

     

    It wasn't the choice at the end so much as the effects it has. For a very much story-driven game and narrative they kinda rushed the ending it seems.

     

    The never explain the keepers, the reaper origins, what truly happens based on your decisions, just a vague explanation before you make your end choice.

     

    But I guess we can look forward to all of this being explained in ME4-6 + DLC. Thanks Bioware!!

  12. Yeah, I have been thinking about that and I think Bioware kind of shot themselves in the foot by giving players so many choices. They had to account for ANY and ALL choices player did or didn't make with the ending. And instead of that being a good thing, it really limited what they could do with the ending. Though some sort of personalized epilogue even along the line of Fallout 3's ending would have been nice.

     

    Not to ruin anything because you do have a choice at the end, but basically nothing else you chose up to that point matters. Whatever you choose at the end, I guess it just changes who it shows. (I am being vague as to not spoil the ending for people wanting to play it).

     

    I really, really loved the series. It would be my choice as Game/Series of the Generation. But for all they put into the series, they should have done more with the ending. Maybe that is what DLC is for?

     

    "Want to know what REALLY happens in the end to Mass Effect 3 - 2400 MS Points"

  13. Nope not me, I only played about an hour of 2 on the 360. It had that Divinity Ego Draconis feel to it. Ohhh wait, nm I am thinking of Divinity. TW2 was actually pretty decent. They improved a lot from the first, but it still isn't the best action-rpg out there. I'd rank it up there with Arcania: Gothic 4 and Risen and those games. But then again I played Two Worlds for a good 15-20 hours. I also played the shit out of Divinity. So take it as you will.

     

    In other words: Skyrim>Reckoning>Arcania>Two Worlds 2>Risen>Gothic 3> Two Worlds 1

  14. So has anyone else beaten ME 3 yet? I would like to discuss the differences between games without having to play through all three games again. Just basically what choices you made and how they affected the game.
