Don't worry, I solved it:

You DID have a wart. WHY ARE YOU HIDING THINGS FROM US? :(

Great I go to bed sad and wake up to everyone painting in a room with no ventilation

I tried the Mass Effect demo, how the *(#@&* does it have that many technical problems when the 360 didn't? I mean even the freaking cutscenes have screen tearing!

Also they killed Little Big Planet 2

V Chronicles 2 is on the PSP this week for 15, thinking about that. The Witcher is 5 bucks on Steam so that's a must buy, and Bayonetta is 9 and change for the 360 version on Amazon.

Animal Crossing is interesting, it feels like a prison or a P.O.W. camp, there's a little spot of land and we're just supposed to keep busy and not upset the balance of the community. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if it's supposed to make people able to get OCD easier

Kingdom for Keflings is on the Live arcade right now, if you don't buy this game (and have the funds) I hate you

FTR I didn't stop posting because of Jason...well maybe a tiny bit because of him :P Things got hectic for me in the fall, I started looking for a job, got sidetracked when I found a lump in my thyroid and then my Dad got sick and was put in the hospital. Dad passed away November 30. Needless to say I haven't been following gaming as much nor getting a lot of time to play, adult life has intruded into my reality. DDRMom

Just played the Mass Effect 2 demo, it's quite long. roboccs

And I also loved FFX. I put 100 hours into it trying to get everything possible. I can't remember if I actually accomplished that, but I was pretty close.

[QUOTE="DDRMom"] Sorry to hear all that. I remember when Randy got a lump on his thyroid in Home Improvement but it was a goiter. Hopefully yours was a goiter too?[QUOTE="starwarsjunky"] *hunts down jordan, demanding an answerJordanElek

im assuming i just said that to see what you'd say because you said you know everything instantly. and i've never had a wart lolstarwarsjunky

So of course now they're both married and have kids. How does that even happen??? The guy was nice even though he was weird so I can kind of understand that, but the girl was mean and weird and gross. I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Why does it always come back to a tv episode? Before my Dad passed away I was telling him about it and how the Dr had used the term goiter which I thought was very medieval sounding. My Dad asked if it was going to be like the Seinfeld episode where Elaine volunteers with the elderly and gets a lady with a football sized goiter. :roll: The term the Dr used was nodules and I have one on each side (4cm X 5cm on one side and 1x1 on the other) I'll find out exactly what it is when I go for a biopsy in Feb. and then I'll be having surgury to remove them sometime after that.

HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT SITUATION?

What cruel place did you go to where that became common knowledge?

Warts "other places" dear Jesus I need some mind bleach for the idea of that let alone firsthand knowledge

Also like to thank you, just sat down for a nice cup of soup for breakfast as I started reading so awesome, you're awesome

It's so worth it even at $60. The game itself is loaded with hours of stuff, not to mention multiple playthroughs are needed to get all of the story. Then you got over $100 dollars worth of DLC.

Metroid: Other M.

Not really sure what to think of it so far. I don't mind the controls as much as some critics did. The whole switching from nes-style controller to pointer isn't much of an issue. I do however tend to get stuck in a dead zone while in first person mode a lot, and sometimes it doesn't switch to first person mode when I point my controller at the TV. I've had a few problems with my sensor bar.. has anyone else experienced this?

Otherwise it seems solid, but I'm a bit worried about how scaled back the exploration elements seem. I'm also not a big fan of the camera. Lots of shooting off in to the distance at enemies I assume are there but not positive. Though I haven't played too much of it yet. Does the game open up more? Seems pretty linear with a few "hey now you get that missile expansion you saw earlier on!" thrown in right now.

I like the new name of the lounge. I originally thought it was a reference to V8 vegetable juice.

The controls work, and they are sharp. The problem is a matter of taste. Some people (including critics) like it, some do not, and the fact you can't fire missles unless you're in first person perspective would've been better The controls do work.

There are other Metroid games also linear- Fusion and Zero Mission for example. Other M is linear to the end, and won't get more open, just a heads up. Again, it's a matter of taste that some prefer open world, and others a linear path. Either way, the controls and linearity are this way because that's what the developers made it to be.

That sounds rough. :( How are you holding up?

And just as I submit my last post, I get a glitch in the ME2 demo where I'm taking cover, shoot a mech, stand up, and am stuck in place!! Can't move, can't shoot, and I look like a fool.

To save you some time, I'll just tell you that it's literally impossible to get 100% before you fight the final boss, so you might as well skip exploration (beyond visual exploration of each room) until the very end. I think the best way to play the game is to blast through the main story and then savor the exploration after that. I didn't play through like that the first time but I wish I had known to.

Fantastic real life Call of Duty The dude pretty much nailed it.snowman6251

Daaaamn, that was impressive.

Majora's Mask > Final Fantasy X I just very strongly admire the loyal the Zelda fanbase, especially when it comes the n64 titles. I mean we actually will have another Zelda win- first Ocarina of Time as best game of all time and now Majora's Mask as best game of the decade! Just needs to conquer Smash Bros Brawl, which I'm sure are only voting Majora's Mask only because they want to see Brawl lose but still. Either way, Nintendo is #1. :Dwiifan001

Link is #1.

Yes, I noticed a distinct lack of ATLUS around here. You've bought like 200 games this year as well. Now I know I don't beat everything I buy but good golly do you even start half of what you get? Anyways, here is the list of games you should like.

• PS1/PSN- Arc the Lad (and the $2.50 dungeon pack).
• PS2-Ring of Red
• DS-The My World My Way (.....yep)
• DS-Retro Game Challenge
• GC-Skies of Arcadia (it's at the point of being relavant now. Honestly by next year this won't be an "ahead of its time" title)

Which leads into the prediction of the year. Current count 3-0, Xseed was the new Atlus (make sure to preorder!), and Atlus sure as heck reprinted everything like EA does for those who kept score. Nippon-Ichi apologized for existing, not totally what I expected but they do deserve it.

Prediction for 2011 is.....The Dreamcast's reign is finally over, long live Sega.

And to everyone else, buy/sell/flip as many DS games as humanly possible. I have never seen so much demand for Ubisoft and franchise games in my life. Seriously. No seriously seriously. Like Terry Fawles Super serial.

The Dead Space 2 demo, however, is amazing. It has a couple minutes of story catch-up then throws you right into the game and doesn't let up until it's over.

Oh I've heard of that. So do you just shoot targets the whole time or something? No grand adventure, no memorable music, no cool new items, no secrets to try and remember, no exploration, no fantastic story with great dungeons and awesome bosses?

It's a rail shooter bundled with the Wii Zapper periperhal, and sold at my place for $19.99. The whole game is just shooting targets and foes that come toward you. It's just a rail shooting game with the Zelda license slapped on it.

Link never even had a Crossbow until this game came along!

A $20 game bundled with a peripheral with the Zelda license on it and it sells more copies than Twilight Princess.

As I mentioned in the previous thread, I've been replaying Super Mario Sunshine, and have been enjoying it a lot more. That being said, I've been putting off some of the secret stars, 100 coin stars, some of the more annoying regular stars, and blue coins for later in my playthrough. And now that I've gotten as far as I have in the game, I've realized just how much that's going to come back and haunt me. *sigh*Hungry_Homer111

I had Sunshine for a while but I never beat it. I think I only got about 1/3 of the way through and then I just randomly put it away. Now I no longer have that little purple box... :(
