The Steve-Out: The Brown Bunny is my movie of the year.

[Tanthias]

I realize I'm late coming to this, but I just played the demo for Uncharted 2.

Holy shit. I want this game. Hmm... it was payday today. Should I attempt to force my way through Fallout 3 first, or just say "fuck it" and go out and buy Uncharted...?

I'd say latter.. mainly because FO3 was one of the 3 games that gave me motion sickness and U2 is just so fun

[Synthetik]

HAMSTER LAND, IS REALLY GREAT
I'M GONNA GO I JUST CAN'T WAIT
HAMSTER LAND, IS REALLY NEAT
IT'S IN A VAN DOWN BY THE STREET
I'M GONNA GO TO HAMSTER LAND
I CLEAR MY THOUGHTS IN THE CARAVAN
IF YOU WANNA GO TO HAMSTER LAND
CONSULT YOUR LOCAL HAMSTER MAN
HAMSTER LAND, HAMSTER MAN, WHOA WHOA YEAH
HAMSTER MAN, HAMSTER LAND, HO HO YEAH

I don't find Fallout 3 that bad, in that regard. My biggest problem is I hate buying games and not finishing them. So far, out of all of the games that I have for my PS3, I've only actually beaten Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Left unbeaten so far: ...

Assassin's Creed
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Fallout 3
Bad Company

I actually wonder if I'd like it if it didn't have that effect... Then again, I don't particularly care for Morrowind or Oblivion (ok games, but not things I'd buy.), so if it's as similar as it seemed (same company, no?)...

Yeah, same company. And if I had been smart, I would have downloaded a demo of FO3 before I bought it, just to see if I would enjoy the gameplay or not. However, since I'm still not used to the fact that my console actually connects to the Internet ahhh, I never actually think about that beforehand.

I'm gonna push through as much of FO3 as I can tonight, and I might go out and big up Uncharted tomorrow. Now, question: should I play the games in order, or are they independent storylines?

[Raype]

They're mostly independent storylines, although there's a few nice references to the first in the second (returning characters, etc).

But the storylines themselves are fully self contained.

You can play the first, then never touch the second and by happy with the plot of the first. You can play the second, and while a thing or two might go over your head, you'll get 99.99% of everything about the game and be quite happy with it.

Also, the first game is infinitely inferior to the second. 1 is pretty lame, 2 is one of the greatest things to come out of sony in recent years. No joke.

Sold. I'll play the second one first, then maybe somewhere down the line attempt the first one. Now, to try the Guardian of Light demo.

Yeah. I'm putting off playing FO3 'cause I can't bring myself to do it. Therefore... demos!

[Raype]

I still believe he's a Bond villain.

Then I saw Julian Assange, he's got the Bond villian vibe all over him, for fuck's sake.

Assange could probably have made a superior villain in TND.

Of course, it'd still suck since it's both bond and brosnan.

Also, a note to Ed:

Windows 7 is fuckawful for what I'm trying to do.

I have gotten things to occur more or less in line with how they are supposed to up to a point.

But I cannot proceed further because microsoft saw fit to disable numerous features for those of us that happen to like international games.

Seemingly to sell us on ultimate editions and the like.

But I shall let news be known upon my return to a civilized OS.

/ooh, shiny

What features? I can't say I've noticed anything of the sort

[Fer!]

As much as I try, I don't think I'll ever get to master that fucking YY goddamn Z.

You can't install foreign unicode sets.

At all.

If you speak english, expect your filenames to always come out a jumbled mess because your OS can't decode it.

And switching to another locale doesn't fix it because YOUR OS STILL DOESN'T HAVE THE FILES TO HANDLE THAT SHIT PROPERLY.

So unless you have a torrent of the japanese version lying about, have fun with that.

It's easy, just — · — — — · — — — — · ·

Over and over

Until you get it right.

Also, I totally do not have a media player full of broken symbols and a novel or two on the HDD that I can't read.

Nope.
