What? Is it really possible to pronounce Z as 'zed'?

I've also heard it pronounced as Zed.

A lot of my foreign friends call the Nissan Z the "Nissan Zed" I never found it odd but I could see how it could be

In Australia it's pretty common, although when referring to something like DBZ, we say 'Dragon Ball Zee'.

Zee and Zed are interchangable in Canada, but for the most part we call it Zee, its softer and were a softer people :P

Most of my time will be taken up my Dawn of War 2

I'm also going to make a point of finishing up Flower. I also downloaded Nobi Nobi Boy yesterday and I'm looking forward to seeing what that game is about

how would you describe flower?

I don't really know how to describe it since I haven't finished the game yet. I can tell you that I've enjoyed what I've played so far. Its pretty relaxing. Its also kind of exciting at points, just flying through the field around hills and whatnot at break neck speeds. Its not really difficult buy its fun to pick up and play. Its a nice "palette cleanser" after playing games like L4D.

forgot to add: The controls are solid. I'm glad I bought it to experience the game, and I'm glad that the game exists and people are willing to make stuff like this. I know it might not appeal to many people though, so I have a hard time recommending it to everyone.

Also, when you play it use the R2 button for speed control. Makes the game a lot easier to manage.

Just finished Flower about an hour ago, and then started Trophy hunting, which I never do. It just seemed like a good excuse to go screw around in some of the levels again.

Panda, I agree about the controls. These are the first motion controls on the PS3 that I've used and thought, "Wow, this is the only possible way this game should be controlled." And it is relaxing, like no other game I've ever played.

I'll recommend it the same way I recommended Eden: If you're interested in experimental gameplay and design, pick it up.

Street Fighter IV for me. I cannot get over how incredible and fun this game really is.

If I manage to get away from that for a bit, I've got Persona on the mind (thanks to Giant Bomb), so I'll try to get in to some Persona 3. My PSP and DS are holding Patapon and The World Ends With You respectively.


Any Street Fighter IV (PS3) challengers out there? Hit me up: jorojoserojas

I'll be combining reading an apologetics book for self interest with reading a pathology book and Grays Anatomy (the book, not the tv show - or the game) for university.

Oh joy of joys.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. It's really spartan, which leads to both bad things and good. For one, cavaliers' newfound inability to move again after attacking really frustrates issues. Options that i took for granted from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, like Shove and Rescue are gone.

Equally, i find the story to be less fulfilling in the sense of depth, but that causes it to read more like a myth than something that plausibly happened, which is good in its own right.

Otherwise, the combat seems to be the same old song and dance, and i enjoy the fact that you accumulate so many units so quickly. You may not use them all, but it allows for more grandiose strategies earlier in the game which weren't even possible until far into PoR and RD

My opinion will probably change greatly, though, as i'm only on Chapter 5 atm

Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned.

God, I love this expansion. Nothing is better than cruising on a chopper with my sawn-off shotty and setting a car on fire with a single shot of it while listening to the new LCHC. And so far, I like to play as Johnny more than Niko. Yeah!

So does every 'Z' have an 'ed' after it or only when the 'Z' is standalone?

Pretty peculiar, if you ask me. :P

When it's in a word you take away the D but keep the same sound.
Why don't say Zedbra if that's what you are getting at.

For the past couple of weeks ive been trying to play KOTOR 1 or 2, but everytime I get about 5 minutes into it I just get bored because I've played it so many times and it always makes me realize how desperately I want a third one. So I'll probably play those for a couple minutes or maybe longer if I finally work it up, but more than likely ill be mopping up achievements in FEAR 2 and then playing some Halo 3

Dawn of War II mostly. It's awesome. I've made attempts, but strategy games haven't held my attention in a long time. This one will, I love it.

Then maybe L4D, TWEWY, and maybe something else mixed in there.

I think that is my problem with most strategy games lately, I just like action more. I used to be able to play strategy games all the time, not so much now.

Street Fighter IV. I'm really getting engrossed into it, it's a ton of fun learning it from the ground up. I even tried online today and, while I thought i would do horrible I actually went 6 wins 3 losses.
