I can't remember if I posted this here or not, but there's a social network for gamers: [link]
Pros: You can take quizzes.
Cons: It's all console gamers, and is basically a dating site / marketing research cover.
ION, Rock Band 2 has a LOT more clothes to buy, including a kilt.
Damn you. Now I must have Rock Band 2.
ROCK BAND 2 IS AWESOME. It has the Go-Go's and Journey and and and....
WANT!
Also in that column: Little Big Planet.
I saw the SciFi channel look at Dead Space over the weekend. Apparently putting Ben Browder in an infommercial can at least temporarily make me want to buy anything, as I don't own an Xbox 360 (or any other electronic game device) and have never been interested in first person shooter games.
I will be playing that tonight!
So, does anyone have recommendations for Nintendo DS games for nine-year-old girls?
Anybody here played Call of Cthulu? Any good? I have a friend in a campaign who insists it's right up my alley, and I am kinda jonesing for some kind of FRP, so I thought I'd ask those who might know.
Frank- I only played CoC once, but from all the discussions I have with friends who are fans of the game the important thing to remember is don't get too attached to your character. He will either die (most-likely in thoroughly horrible way) or go insane. Period.
The longstanding joke is that it's the only game in which the most effective trait for character survival is running speed.
It is great for mood if you like the old Pulp horror stories. Just be cool with the concept that Things Will Not End Well.
