WRUP: Who's your daddy edition?

damn you have ALOT of games to play then huh? I hope you get to try out Flower. Flower is a great PSN game and an experience like no other.. trust me

haha good luck
You wont get far (this weekend?) unless you skip the MGS4 cut scenes and play Killzone 2 on easy

my advice: DON'T skip the cutscenes and play killzone on easy. and play infamous on whatever because it's not terribly difficult either way.

i dont think im gonna play MGS4 because ive never played any others, and I dont want to be completely lost. I wont get to experience everything until tomorrow because he only gave me his AV cables instead of HDMI : / so the brilliance of KZ2, the only one i have to play, will be lost on me for teh night

i should have mentioned he makes heavy use of gamefly, so I have to rent everything but LBP and MGS4

Yeah MGS4 might be a bad place to start with the series. Not to say is isn't great. It just might confuse you. Hey, you know number 1 was re-released on PSN. download that for your friend's sake and play it instead of 4 lol.
Or if you want to play them in chronological order, play MGS3 first. Then 1. Then 2.

NOOOO PLAY MGS4!!! Trust me i never played MGS1 or 2 only 3 and i loved it even though i didnt understand most of it

MGS 4 is pure gaming majesty. If you have some intelligence and you can think things through the story will make sense. I expect nothing less from a someone with a billion dollars! In all seriousness you should play MGS 4 because the game is just awesome. I can understand why some people don't like the long cut scenes but the game is just so damn epic.

I would say you should play (not in any order) Killzone 2, Little Big Planet, Heavenly Sword, Resistance 2, MGS 4 and ratchet and clank future tools of destruction as they are some of the best ps3 exclusives. There are other ones but those are some of the best games.

forgot about Infamous ... another one you should consider playing.

Oh my God, KZ2 is making me sad I dont have a PS3. This is exactly what ive been looking for! Ever since Quantum of Solace and RSV2 ive felt like any fps i play NEEDED a cover system, but didnt necessarily want 3rd person, and KZ2 does it perfect! Why dont more FPS' do this!?

the only bad part of KZ2 is you feel like a fatass running around a battlefield

Dude you HAVE to play InFamous. i been addicted to it since it came out

Is it just me or does anybody else get bothered by the fact that your character seems about a foot shorter than everyone else in KZ2?

@thecmoneyshow

i thought i was the only one that noticed... in cutscenes, you look like you're at everyone else's level, but when you walk right up to them, your face is at their chests. it's weird...

Haha, yeah, it's so true. It ruins the feeling of 'badassness' slightly when, after slaughtering a hundred Helghast, you find yourself barely reaching the chin of your teammates.

Still, I'd recommend playing MGS4 - even if you only play the first few chapters, you'll get an idea of just how incredible the game is. Skip the cutscenes if necessary!

so what was the neo nazi like?

is it anything like American History X makes it out to be?

Well this guy in particular was in prison for double murder of a jewish family, so yeah I guess you could say he's like what you would picture one to be. Incidentally, he had some really funny jokes..or at least they would be if anyone else was telling them. It's kinda different when a jew hater's telling them. It was hard not letting a chuckle out, I had to keep my Brian Williams face on.

were they really cheesy like "My grandpa died in a concentration camp. He fell off a guard tower" or "Knock knock. Whos there? Zionists with a plot to take over our government"



I swear, if I have to hear those jokes one more time.....

So do you mention anyone in your paper by name?

Nah they were mostly jokes I never heard of, but I'm not going to repeat them here cause they were pretty mean.

I didn't mention anyone from here by name on the paper, but I will tell you I studied the bigger irrational fanboys here (as well as others) like Sprinkles, Killjebus and Curmeo back when he was here all the time. It was...interesting to say the least.

did you include cody? i was expecting him to be right after sprinkles for you...

and for some reason, i really want to meet that neo nazi dude. i have this weird obsession with picking people's minds. his one would be an interesting one to pick.

oh, and were you doing online human behavior? because if you weren't, i would find your paper quite strange.

@Mr Esc

You joke, but you're not too far off honestly. I've been working on this for a good 9 months now.

@Sly

Nah Cody came along too far in the process for me to use him. I had my prime subjects picked already and they gave me a hell of a lot of good stuff. If I get a good score for this I might actually have to thank people like Sprinkles.

Yeah online behavior was part of it. Why people act differently or in some cases why they act their "true selves" online, meaning they act how they really want to but don't in real society.

you didnt mention how there's some crazy that thinks he's Batman? That's A+ material right there

fascinating. Also rather bizarre, though you did seem to care quite a bit for someone so... apathetic.

1. I was already a member for a little while here and some of the people seemed like easy targets

2. I admit I toyed around with my friends a bit but nothing too serious (don't want to fracture friendships haha) but for th emost part it was just messing with you guys :P

3. Nope I was on my own for this whole thing. Had to schedule my own meetings and everything, which wasn't easy as people don't just want anyone wandering in to prisons and mental hospitals getting in their way and stuff.

@Mr Khan

Haha it's easy to act when you guys can't see me cracking up from all the fights I got myself into.

@ tmac. Cody was active here before, under the monicker of LilCo. Though he was more Nintendo fan and less Microsoft hater back then, but the similarities are all there, aside from the similarity of name. He was banned in a flamewar with Johnny, back when his name was John McPoop. Oddly, Johnny also took a significant hiatus from this site after that

Him being a huge fan of Florida sports and such was a dead give

@Khan

Yeah I think he simply went by the name "Co" at that time and got all pissed when I would say my kids get most of the time out of the Wii. I probably said a little more than that (I was more fervent at the time for whatever reason) but it was never to get under his skin it was just what was up at the time.

I also got banned for giving my thoughts on homosexuality in that gay gamer thread a while back. I didn't think it was justified because I was completely respectful and just stated my opinions. Why post such controversial shit if you aren't going to let people talk about it? Whatever but I can say for sure that banning wasn't justified. The other time I got banned was from another AOL blog when I called out the editor on some other stuff. That was pretty much a justified banning but it wasn't from anything at Joystiq.

@T-Mac

I guess this explains why your big announcement that we hyped up was a fucking book instead of a few simple lines. You should post that paper up for everyone here to read ... you kind of owe that much to the animal house that gave you a lot of material. I never had anything against you and this doesn't change anything as long as you stay true to who you are. Ok so the Nintendo stuff was trolling and to get a reaction to study behavior but certainly your entire persona wasn't a lie? was it?

Good luck on the paper dude ... cool stuff.

Nope the only thing I really put an act on was with the nintendo stuff. Honestly I get as frustrated with them as just about everyone does but I do like some of their franchises still. I'm still the huge hardcore gamer I said I was, just not as much of an asshole :P

"I guess this explains why your big announcement that we hyped up was a fucking book instead of a few simple lines"

ugh, that fiasco... that was hilarious though, i'll admit. all that hype just for tmac to go and ruin it by making the reveal as long as a press release lol... good times, good times.

No Velsar? That must be the craziest motherfucker I've seen on Joystiq, but he didn't post a lot so I guess you couldn't use him.

I really wanna see this paper now, can you post it sometime after you've turned it in?

"as well as going to a mental hospital and studying the crazies there"

So you met Spinkles?

Also what was tmac's announcement? I remember reading about it but never saw the conclusion.

I mean WHERE

i too want to see this report

slaziman and marius, it was on some WRUP a few months back.

here we go, i found it.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/27/wrup-home-vs-away/

@Slaziman

I thought Velsar was sprinkles

@Sly
I meant the report he is writing
because as you can see I was well aware of that "announcement" .......(by that I mean read my sarcastic comment)

haha, my bad marius. misunderstood you a bit...

Good lord I feel like a gosh dern celebrity on here!! So many people with such vivid memories!

Seriously guys, I say what I feel, I don't hide behind anything (I even have the same myspace link from my last Joystiq account to my real myspace page on my new and forever PUBLIC profile here) and NOBODY ever has gotten or gets under my skin. It's all with a huge grin on my face every time I blog (why wouldn't it be???) and it gets me through the day for sure!

isn't one of the first things you're taught in psych classes (especially a degree course) is to not refer to mentally ill patients as "crazies"?

Well yeah, but this place is far from a professional place so I can get away with that :P
