WRUP: You know you're smarter than the mob edition

I bought NBA Live 09 for 20 bones at Target, so that.

I also decided to prestige in CoD4 after being a level 55 on the 2nd prestige for 7 months.

Lulz @ Griffin McElroy

Personally I'll be playing through FFVI, and if I beat that I'll start up VII. Been playing through the whole series this summer to get warmed up for dissidia. Luckily VI and VII and IX are my favorites in the series. Gonna be a fun few weeks.

Probably playing Oblivion, Fallout DLC, Burnout Paradise and GT prologue to help get through these boring summer days gaming wise.

Rented COD world at war and beat it later that night, thanks short campaigns. Anyway, the campaign was a lot better than I thought it would be for a Treyarch game. I played a little multiplayer even though I don't really enjoy doing that, but it didnt hook me like 4's did. I'll probably play a little more before returning it.

The 1 vs. 100 beta is actually a lot of fun, I definately recommend it for anyone that still hasn't tried it out. I played it with my wife and between the two of us did pretty well - very cool to think if it was a REAL game and not the beta that we'd have won some Marketplace points AND the sponsored XBLA game (both standard prizes for surviving the mob).

Stupid fun fact:

1. Button mash the Y button to perform the 'selected' emote for your avatar (the camera focuses on you and 3 others at several different points).

2. To change the emote, hit Right on the DPAD to cycle to the next emote while you're hitting Y. You can clap, jump up and down, and make other absurd gestures.

I am patiently waiting for someone to call out Griffin on his post.

Lets see, some Art Style: BOXLIFE on MY DSi, Fate/Unlimited Codes on my PSP and COD4 on my 360. And next week or so ill have BlazBlue. =D

Still playing Crimson Gem Saga, still liking it.

just got a new iphone, so i'll be playing peggle, zombieville USA (excellent game BTW), mafia wars, and fieldrunners. and i might do some CoD:WaW on ps3 and maybe some CoD4 too.

Going back and listening to old episodes of Good Grief has gotten me interested in trying out some free games (play Today I Die, trust me). Other than that, Punch-Out!!, Tiger Woods, and finally beating 150cc in Mario Kart

1 vs 100 obviously isn't enough to justify me getting a 360 on its own (my wallet also doesn't justify it), but you've made me pine for a new console with that post.

I am playing WoW mostly, starting to get myself some nice epics at 80 and get into the groove of heroic dungeons. Offline, I just installed GUN and played through the first hour or so, strikes me as a pretty good game. I finished Mirror's Edge last night, though the past tense isn't what you're supposed to talk about on here.

Getting the full 1250/1250 cheevos in Banjo Kazooie, finishing up Episode 3 for Doom on XBLA and then who knows?!

Tonight, I have the misfortune of being dragged to Transformers. Saturday will be spent playing "Why-the-fuck-did-you-sign-up-for-summer-classes?" and maybe a bit more of Splinter Cell. Sunday, I'll be melting in the sun while attending the Chicago Pride parade...

I wish I had a super power that allowed me to play multiple video games at the same time. My backlog is just too big for me... ;__;

hoping to find either Fight Night, Prototype, or Ghostbusters somewhere to rent. so far no luck. as a last resort, Lost Planet Colonies mp or something on ipod touch.

Well, in fact Bell did not invent the telephone, Meucci did:

Tiger Woods Golf, RE5, End War, L4D, and probably starting up Fallout 3 sans DLC again.

Also some DDO beta.

"I'm nearing the end of the first disc, and I've probably put 80 hours into level grinding specifically for Aeris. She's level 99 now, and really become an unstoppable powerhouse. Can't wait to ride her coattails all the way to the end of the game."

You've made a huge mistake.

Score-whoring a little more tonight...gonna finish Open Season and then send it back to Gamefly for another easy game. Never should have accepted that score challenge...

I finally got a hold of a copy of Riviera for GBA this week, so I'll probably pop that in between some Fire Emblem while I'm at work. I started Okami this week, so I'll probably continue with it while I'm at home.

We're playing Fester's Quest right now.

Trine demo, Dark Messiah ($5 on Steam), Prey, Mega Man X8, Shadow of the Colossus.

The Conduit. It's really a mixed bag as far as graphics go. Some character models look brilliant, some look horrid, same goes for locations. When i was wondering around the white house rose garden trying to dodge something that sounded a lot like a Screaming Mimi, i took a look at the Rose bushes and thought i had stepped back in time to 1999, but then i got over to the Pentagon, and all was forgiven in those big, open, immaculate areas.

The gameplay is fun as hell, if a bit frustrating in the sense that when you die, you're not often sure why. I think only one of my multiple deaths so far was something i could have seen coming.

The AI is excellent for long-range fighting. Very adept at finding cover, and at surrounding me (positive that a few of my deaths were unidentified snipers of some sort), but in short range, they just panic and track you, occasionally firing, while you wander in close enough to Melee.

I've been tweaking the controls constantly, and am getting much closer to my idealized experience. The only problem is that HVS did the same thing Sonic Team did with Secret Rings and Black Knight, where the player character has less ability at the beginning of the game than he does later on (as you move on, more damage is deflected by default, and you get better jumping power)

Griffin's post reminds me of when I played GTA: San Andreas. Instead of playing through the missions, I spent hours trying to turn rival gang territory into Grove Street turf. Once I turned every area green, I continued with the game to find that the game's story takes everything away when it forces you to San Fierro. I think I quit playing the game shortly after that.

@Griffin McElroy: I salute you, sir. That is some hardcore shit, especially for that character. Do you have all of her limit breaks, too?

I'm really into Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga right now. I've also been playing Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon on the Wii.

Those idiots didn't know the symbol for oxygen!

Street Fighter IV on my PS3. I'm trying to be the King of Dan. I'm also slogging through disc 2 of Lost Odyssey. I think that game hates me.
