I disagree.
I can't afford to be cheap.
I'm getting a snazzy necklace with it, weeee. :D

Oh okay.
Wait...if you're calling Gears a crap game that was one hell of a clever way to say it. :wacko:
I forgot of which culture the study was on, but it proved that lower class families bought much more expensive toys for their children than the rich folk.Quote:

Makes sense.Quote:

Well, if the multiplayer is at least fun as it was in the beta, and I've got four, five friends to play it with, I'd say it's a good replay value for the game.
I meant that a given game will have the same content, whether you pay $5 for it or $50.Quote:

Tis a puzzling question.
Whoever introduced me to both GURPS and the HERO system is an evil person and I hate them.
Dude.

I'm off.

It could be worse. There's always worse.
Speaking of worse, for some dumb reason I've started recording this run of MM&B. It can't end well given that my usual lack of gameplay skill is exacerbated thrice over when it comes to the MM series.
Well, we did the other 10, Ray's doing Zero, I vaguely remember saying something about doing BN, and the rest of the series will get done at some point, so someone had to do MM&B eventually. Might as well be you. :wacko:Quote:

Fuck you, uncompressed AVI.
Hey, Ray, quick Nier question. Any tips for the boss-type shade on the Belated Letter quest? I can get the meter to appear, but I can barely do anything to it (a triple dark lance barely seems to knock off one...)... Is there a suggested magic I should use, or am I just that underlevelled?
I didn't have any problems. I think it might have an anti-magic aura. Consider using a good sword. Repeatedly using Phantasm then hitting it while it's down can do wonders against most basic shades. Unless it's the type that can't be knocked down. In that case, just enable health meters and whittle it down with circle strafing and hit & run tactics.Quote:

This one receives damage from it, and takes 2 hits to kill me) that cause the "Boss HP meter" to appear at the bottom of the screen (and I can't avoid it, since it's part of this quest. Invisible walls.).Quote:

Ah. Yeah, could be a level thing in that case. Those enemies are one of the few ones that don't seem to level scale normally. I just bounced lances off its face with a couple bits of rapid fire.Quote:

Ha, my biggest problem right now is a giant pig. :wacko:
Make him run into a boulder and attack :PQuote:

Can't wait for Arkham City either.

I'll probably end up having to play all the new A+++ titles released this year on my 360, since I'll be having to borrow them from my uncle and he won't buy anything for PS3. :dread:
