I must say the ability to drain the electricity out of innocent bystanders has me curious about infamous.

You can’t do that when you’re “good”…which seems to be one of the points of the game.

It’s always so much more fun to be “bad”.
Read a few reviews, seems good but I think I’ll hold off till the new round of regurgitated sports games hits the shelves.
Don’t think I’ve seen this discussed; PSP Go.
Thoughts?

Thoughts? Hopefully, they just made it better…but if they really wanted to break the bank, they would have added a keypad and a small attachment that turns that into a phone. That alone is why I don’t always have my psp with me. They also need new games
Edit: The more I look at it, the uglier it gets. I hope there were more upgrades than just the way it looks.

Agree on the looks bit, here is a concept which I thought looked pretty slick.
I believe they are doing away with the UMD’s and all the games will be on digital formats now.
Also, the $250 price tag is pretty ridiculous.
Concept.

I’m pretty interested in it. I always liked the PSP and thought it had some really good games. My biggest complaints with it were the size and battery life. I usually carry my DS with me because it’s more portable and it lasts longer.
Did they ever say how they would handle existing games? I heard it won’t have a UMD drive so there better be a way for me to access old games on it.

Quick geeky question: I need a new MP3 player. I hate Apple.
I recently bought a Sandisk Sansa. Big mistake. The thing is a piece of shit (and I can’t return it).
So, does anyone have any MP3 player recommendations? I’d really like to avoid paying out the ass for an IPod <_<[/quote]
Put RockBox on your Sansa, makes it much better.
I’m not sure if this has been posted, but here’s a new long trailer for 2012. Don’t watch it if you don’t want essentially the entire movie showed to you.

Hmmm, if that is the end of the world…what the fuck can we honestly do about it? Fuck EVERY SINGLE GIRL we come across throughout 2011? Damn it, I’ve only got two years or so to diet down and become the most desired man in US history. Fuck…talk about pressure.
Has anyone played FarCry 2? I’ve had on PC for about 6 months and never got into it. I heard it was good and gave it another shot last night but it just seems so fucking repetitive. I’m about 10% in. Does it get any better/different or do you just hunt diamonds/do missions or alternate missions/find safe houses/kill africans in cars the whole time?

I try to hype this game up as much as possible. It’s such a sleeper. But no, if you don’t like it now, you won’t like the rest of the game. How could you not enjoy wandering around Africa? It’s so realistic. I know a guy who went down there and played the game, and was quite impressed.
I’ve found that there’s no real neutrality about the game, though. People either love the pacing of the large-world explorative FPS, or hate it. I get so immersed into the game, I’m on my second playthrough.
BTW, you know where you are right now, the Northern Sector? You’ll have an entire other area to explore, just as large as the first one. Keep playing.
Can Rob Zombie fix what he screwed up the first time?
Sorry I’m a little late to this discussion, but with all the touting of Robert Jordan’s books, I just had to post. I think Jordan wrote a good 7 books. Then, the 8th came, then the 9th, I mean nothing happened in those books, guys. The characters all just stared at each other while planning attacks, it was excruciating. He was clearly dragging it out to keep that money rolling in since everything he put out was an instant best seller.
The Sword of Truth series is equally annoying- starts out great, works for 5 books, then takes a nosedive into weird preachy territory. No good.
I’d love to tell these authors to just write 3 or 5 books and call it a day, is any story you have to tell in the familiar setting of fantasy novels SO AWESOME you need 10 books of increasing size to tell it?
Sorry, I know since I usually post in the figure athlete forums, I’m going to get screamed at for this, but it’s cool, had to be said.
I think, for historical fiction purposes, the Alvin Maker series by Orson Scott Card isn’t a bad place to start, and although people mentioned Brandon Sanderson, they never mentioned his books- I just finished the Mistborn series, and it was pretty good, very unique for a fantasy novel, I must say, I’ve read them all. I second the Eddings recommendation, but frankly, just read the first 4 sets of books- the “Dreamer” series he did with his wife wasn’t nearly as funny or good. Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett is fantastic too. Just my two cents.

I have mixed feelings. He usually succeeds well with setting up the terror and environment in a movie, but it seems like when it comes to having actual substance, he reverts to typical slasher cliches.
The success of this movie will depend greatly, for me, on the actual carnage and chaos. It’s really not to hard to re-write an old story, putting little twists on it. Making a good horror movie starts with giving the audience something they haven’t seen before or are flat-out uncomfortable with. I know this was discussed before, but I thought the first killing in RZ’s first Halloween with the kid was ridiculous. I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit in my life, but that scene was flat out grueling.
Either way, I will be giving my five bucks to the movie theatre to see it.
While we’re on the subject of entertaining fiction, I wanted to bring up one of my absolute favorite authors;
Dan Abnett.
He predominantly writes military science fiction set in the Warhammer 40K universe- and while much of the fiction that predominates that sub-genre is pulp at best, his stuff is pure dynamite. Whether he’s writing about Space Marines, the Tanith First-and-Only or Imperial inquisitors pretty much anything he does oozes cool and ass-kick in equal measure.
New Starcraft 2 battle report. http://www.starcraft2.com/features/battlereports/3.xml
Fucking brilliant blizzard you guys are goddamn wizards.
I’m still waiting for the Starcraft 2 beta key to come out. I’ve been sitting on my key from Blizzcon for what seems like ages now and i haven’t heard a hint of an update.
Anyway on that note, I’m going to Blizzcon again this year(sometimes living in cali has it benefits), hoping for a D3 beta key this time around.
Blizzard usually doesn’t have a Blizzcon unless they have something to announce, last one was D3 so I’m very curious to see what they’re bringing to the table this time around. They’ve mention that they have been working on new MMO that isn’t related at all to World of Warcraft so that’ll be goddamn awesome if they announce it this year. I’m not sure how i would feel about them breaking away from the 3 core franchises for hte first time in ages.
