It's slightly irritating since you have all these cool guns, dammit! And they're fucking worthless when all someone has to do is run up to you and smack you a couple times.
This? Is totally what they should have on Charlton Heston's tombstone.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The bad part about Mario Kart Wii online is learning the cold hard fact that I SUCK.This is me with just about any game. Hence, my gamertag motto: I'm here to make you look good
As long as I have fun, that's what counts.

And you have! Mission accomplished.
Sometime we should have another Infection tournament. They built a really nice map where the humans spawn inside a 'house' and the zombies outside.

Omnis is on the Fraggin' List. No change there.
So the big GTA news is that some copies of GTA - on both PS3 and Xbox - are locking up right at the start of the game.
Rockstar has absolutely no idea why.
Not good. Not good.

Hmm... There are upsides to only being able to play console games when they hit the home computer platforms.

Does anybody here play Oblivion on the PC, Xbox 360 or PS3? It's amazing.
I play it on the PC where I've modded it up a bit. It's great. I've made two characters and may start a third, but not for doing the same quests. I'm only planning on using one to do the main quest. I'll probably be playing it on and off for a few years.
I just got The Orange Box with a gift certificate I got for Christmas. I got it mostly because I wanted to play Half-Life 2 since I haven't played any of them, but so far I've played Portal (short but great) and Peggle. I'm itching to try Team Fortress 2, it looks like fun even if I'll be annihilated.

Portal!
That is all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Interesting approach, Gud -- I had a second character for a while (until I, umm, accidentally overwrote her only save file. Le sigh!) but rather than use different characters for different quests, I went for two totally different styles of character: my main girl is all about the stealth, and the second one was made expressly for mindless banging of heads. Great fun, and an utterly different way of playing the game.
