No women?

Never tried playing Gears co-op on the same machine. I’ve only co-oped thru Live.[/quote]

sadly most likely not…work over Christmas gets incredibly hectic, also i tend too have issues running into the opposite sex.

this biggest problems I run into girls are

  1. i lack confidence with people I don’t know, I either become incredibly shy i.e wont even say hi or become overly arrogant.
  2. i get bored of the girl and don’t want anything too do with her after i hit it
  3. as bad as this sounds the majority of my friends are worse with girls than I am, which in turn especially if out they’ll say something stupid the chick will walk off.
  4. I have trust issues(yes insecurities) it takes me a long ass time before I can trust someone

enough bitching about women though, anyone ever played GOW co-op on the same consol?

Damn, I forgot this was even out. It’s now officially on my list of things to do.

Unfortunately, passing my classes is a little higher on the list right now.

Not really because i can’t be bothered to play games that aren’t completed.

Kind of like eating a half cooked hamburger…its mushy and tastes like shit.

But do report back and tell me what its like :slight_smile:

–SPOILER ALERT?? (Depends on your opinion of it)–
I’m kind of dissappointed in the Fable 2 experience system.

–Minor spoiler alert??–

I felt as though you could simply just keep buying experience from the potion shops…its not like you can’t make a killing from real estate. I liked the original fable experience, where I felt like most of the combat system was already in-tact, and you didnt have to buy little pieces of it (such as flourishes). But, I do love how awesome the spells look in the game.

Still no DS-10. Now they are saying it comes out on Thursday. WTF? It was supposed to come out October 14th, then November 4, now it’s the 6th. I beginning to doubt it will ever be released!

Is this normal with DS games?

Yes. I’ve been waiting for Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for about 3 months now.

Nintendo likes to screw with release dates for some reason. I think they are pushing as many titles back to late-Nov. as possible so as to try and win the holiday shopping wars.

Well that’s great. I checked on the XSeed site and they are saying the retailers will have it on the 6th so hopefully that happens.

I’ve always heard that the DS is the best selling piece of game hardware(including consoles)by a pretty large margin. Is there any truth to that? I thought I saw it on Xplay once.

I was so into playing Fallout 3 today that I forgot it was election day…good thing I voted last week.

finished my exams today busted out my xbox started GOW 1, so far enjoying it quite a bit. Once I finish the first one I’ll be getting stuck into the second one.

I know this question has probably been posed alot but I really wanna start getting into comics preferably ironman and the hulk as the characters interest me. Both I grew up watching the cartoons in my earlier years sadly it seems like all the morning cartoons are japanese imports yu gi oh, ben 10 and a few others. Hell I remember watching the original spiderman series with morgan freeman narrating. Well I’ve started rambling lol

but could someone tell me what I can buy too get a good grasp of ironman or hulk comics – can you download a torrent with all the previous ones? I’ll be honest I don’t really want too be forking out $50 for a 30 page book any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I just got my collectors edition of Fallout 3! I won’t be playing it for long Gears 2 comes out thursday. I don’t care what anyone says all the videos I saw on Gears 2 were awesome. It’s going to be the best third person shooter ever.

Really? You make money while you don’t play also. I didn’t play for 2 days got back on and made 500,000 gold.

Just got the new Gears of War novel. Will report back when I am done…

And my dumbass paid for this novel with debit card when I had a B&N $25 gift card stuffed in my wallet. Goddamn, I hate when that shit happens.

By the way, will Blu-Ray look noticeably better on a 720p HDTV vs an upscaled standard DVD?

I bought my parents a plasma in December of 2006 and would upgrade them to a 1080p but don’t have the money right now…

I would be willing to pick up a Blu-Ray player on Black Friday, though, if it’s worth it.

I think Blu-Ray looks better than DVD on a normal TV, so it would have to look better on 720 right? But what do I know, it could just be in my head.

I’m not currently a big marvel fan right now. Some of the big stories fell a bit flat as of late. Civil War ended on a downer. They finally started doing something interesting with Spider-Man and then fudged it all to hell with a “deal with the Devil” scenario, and World War Hulk could’ve, should’ve been epic.

Anyways the quickest and easiest way to get your fill of comics is here:
