A friend for life, or pet of the week?

Sep 17th 2007 10:03AM (WoW)
I got the rare spawn Brokentooth waaaay back when I was level 30-ish, still have him around because his attack speed was a big help in pvp, I have been getting new pets from Outland though.

Caption This! [Updated]

"Awww, I swear this cave was empty when I stashed the treasure here!"

Halo 3 documentary broken down into itty, bitty pieces

Jan 11th 2007 11:15AM (Joystiq)
I would like to add that I loved playing Halo co-op with my friend. I liked the solid feeling physics and great enemy AI. Unfortunately the simplistic level design (same base over and over) and bland, unchanging environmental textures kinda put me off from ever playing it by myself for too long. How many shiny, alien spaceship hallways do I have to walk down? I guess I'm a PC FPS snob, but I'll take Half Life over Halo any day. Mouse and keyboard controls just sit better with me.

John Carmack taps DS for latest game

If you don't know that SNES famously censored red blood out of Mortal Kombat in the mid 90's then you need to learn a bit about the history of video games in general. Crack a book, FSK405K obviously did :) What does any of that have to do with Nickelodeon? Kids channel=censorship. Not a bad metaphor, I understood it right away.

Today's hottest game video: Tekken 5 footage

Jan 5th 2007 12:24AM (Joystiq)
Huge Tekken fan, I will get it for the new characters alone. But it really doesn't look graphically any better than Tekken 5 on PS2, ditto to the floor cracks thing.

Breakfast Topic: DKP Systems

Jan 4th 2007 7:41PM (WoW)
Ok as a non-hardcore raider DKP sounds like a bunch of hooey-phooey made up algebra voodoo. Who decides the DKP value of items? Who keeps track of everyone's DKP? Are there programs that do it for you, or are you relying on some guild leader to tally it up? What the hell does DKP even stand for?

Resident Evil 5 plays hot & cold

Never mind the graphics, 3d graphics age terribly no matter what. Unless they are incredibly stylized, i.e. Veitiful Joe, 3d games look pretty bad 4 or 5 years down the line. The "realism" angle is great, but it is only fleeting fun. Don't believe me? Look at any PS2 or Xbox launch title now. They were so impressive back then, now they are hideous. Blame it on ever-increasing polygon counts, texture sharpness, and various lighting effects. Very few 3d games stand the test of time for me, hell PSone games are damn near unplayable because they look so bad in comparison. 2d games on the other hand seem to be easier to go back and play.

Nintendo to replace 3.2 million Wii straps [update 1]

Dec 16th 2006 2:29AM (Joystiq)
What kind of fool can't hold on to thier controller as they play? All these strap problems are showing the atrophy that occurs when you eat nothing but cheese nips and Bawls energy drink. Swing a 2 pound (if that much, correct me if you may fanboys) controller for an hour or so and your grip grows slack. You're not really trying to knock someone out, you're playing a game.....slow it down spaz.
