Ving-gah

Amen to that. That was a badass game.

The Portal 2 push back isn't really bothering me right now, especially if its so they can make this a full game. I mean, we JUST heard about Portal 2 about a month.5 ago. Right? I mean seriously, its like, "hey here's this sequel to this awesome game, and its coming out this christmas." And we were all like, yay and stuff. And then they're like, well, its taking us longer to make it even more badass", and we complain? For shame peeps...

Now, if it becomes lost in the pushback valve like EP3 is, then I'll be upset.

EDIT: I know that the above paragraph came off valley girl, but I was just in one of those moods. :)

I loved the first VF. With a passion. But for some reason, I just can't get into the new ones. This looks nice for the most part, but it just looks a little off. For instance, El Blaze's throw animation. I know that the other character being shorter can kinda mess with the way it looks, but it seems to me that they could fix that stuff... Also, and this may just apply to me personally, these games, especially the later ones, seem so effin hard to perfect. I mean, come on... I couldn't even make it through Akira's training thing in 4 (or was it 5).

I definitely approve. It's very nerdy, but it would be awesome to actually do this. What would you do, though, to entertain your sim? Also, the majority of the sims would be peasants, and who wants to play as a peasant? It's bad enough to be one IRL.

Those issues aside, I think it would be awesome. I'd definitely buy it.

...i it actually came out, that is.

While it is true that Bungie partnering with Activision will probably end badly (for Bungie), I'm not gonna go so far as to say, "Whatever their new IP is I won't be buying it."

I think the idea of that is a little ridiculous. I mean, come on, you're not even gonna wait till you see what new IP they come out with? And please man, Activision is not gonna be seriously burned by you not purchasing that ONE copy of the POTENTIAL game... Unless you buy 1.5 billion games all by yourself, I'm sure you're not gonna make that much of a difference. And furthermore, even if you did make a difference, it wouldn't make near as much difference to AV as it would to Bungie.

The two statements might lead some people to believe that they (the
AP) thought Reach was starring MC, but since MC is pretty much
the icon for the Halo franchise, the AP might have just meant that
the Halo franchise itself has friends.

The only reason I originally called you out is because the Failbomb
should be used sparingly. To avoid ridicule, make sure you know your
stuff before throwing one out there.

:D

Looks like the only fail here was in context clues in grade school.

:D

"More than 2.7 million people logged onto the video game "Halo: Reach," the upcoming prequel to the first-person shooter trilogy starring supersoldier Master Chief, developer Bungie Studios announced Monday." - AP

Seems to me that the "starring supersoldier Master Chief" part is referring to the original trilogy, not Reach.

Great idea, not crazy about having to pay for it, but there's always a price for convenience. That said, I'd probably buy it. Provided it wasn't much.
