The idealist (naive and stupid) part of me thinks that the democractic nations of the world should get their shit together and "sort out" the bad regimes around the world once and for all.

Of course it will never happen and it wouldn't work anyway. LOL (naive and stupid)

Yeah maybe we could come together like a League of Nations, no, wait, even better a "United Nations" group so that we could act in global accord on issues of peace, trade and human welfare!  Good idea.

What we really need is an Earth Defence Force EDF! EDF! EDF!

Cool news on Elder Scrolls sequel! I expect HUGE improvements. I thought the jump in quality from Oblivion to Fallout 3 was huge. The character models backgrounds, art, everything looked far more professional if you know what I mean.

Elder Scrolls V could be amazing!

Also, stupid question guys, but what's the difference between NeoGaf.com and NeoGaf.net? Is it the same? Is NeoGaf.net like a fake website or something?

Hopefully better horse controls, a tougher horse with armour, horseback combat like Twilight Princess. Custom caves and dungeons, screw this procedural generation nonsense. Perhaps a bit more humour and more Dark Brotherhood missions plz.

K, okay. Bye.

Justin Calvert (reviews boss at gamespot) was on their podcast today. He said of GT5)

= You can advance through the game without doing the licenses. The licenses add greatly to your characters XP though (XP unlocks tracks/cars).

= AI is "better than it has been" but is "not good".

= Reviewers have not had access to multiplayer either.

= Car damage "doesn't seem" to affect driving and is minor where it is. He said it will impact the formula one cars more, but he has not tried those yet.

= NASCAR is "pretty neat"

= Rally is perfunctory.

= Top Gear track is included and has a bunch of challenges.

= There are Challenge Modes that are "kind of fun" -- racing "camper vans".

Not sounding like a 10 from gamespot. He had to be kind of vague because of the embargo, so it's hard to tell where they will come down on it, but it's not a 10 on their scale judging from his reaction to the game.

Justin Calvert is reviewing GT5? He's a good reviewer but he is kind of harsh and really critical with racing games.

At best, I expect a 9. I'd be surprised if he gives it a 8.5 though.

I'm curious to see what'll happen if this game doesn't get spectacular reviews. For a game that's spent as long as it has in development I've got to believe that reviewer expectations will be very high, and maybe unfairly so. Regardless though unless the games see's scores in the 8's I don't think anyone is really going to care.

Final Fantasy XIII comes to mind since it took so long. Can you belive FFXIII Versus is taking longer than GT5 and FFXIII!? GASP

FF XIII had a lot of other factors against it though. There were some drastic changes to the gameplay that turned a lot of people off.

This is kind of interesting. I have a friend in San Francisco who goes to a lot of videogame launch parties, and as luck would have it she and her husband went to the Gran Turismo 5 launch party last night. It wasn't a good time. It's not an indictment of the game so much as Sony's party planners, but it's interesting all the same:

...but the Gran Turismo launch party last night? Pretty much a fail of massive proportions. It had its reasons (mostly something called "lack of true Sony involvement and possibly run by rejects from the Gold Club* across the street"), but I won't make a big production. Suffice to say that the drink ticket for the mandatory Windex beverage (vodka, Red Bull, and mint) didn't make things any more appealing. We've gone to better events with far smaller budget run by overstressed cult film geeks who were about to be new fathers.


The best part was actually outside, where all of the really pretty luxury cars were parked. There was a blue Lamborghini right up by the venue itself, and a Tesla, a Corvette, and several other pretties parked further down. I didn't really see too much, but I saw enough to find that cool.


I think the event suffered several problems..lack of proper communication, lack of attendee interaction, something going on upstairs that was, I think, VIP and therefore not privvy to us lowly paeons downstairs...it just felt like we crashed a party, and found out it wasn't worth the bother to crash it.

Last Story music: Order and Chaos

Like Yoda and Robio mixed together

Wait... I'm chaos? How did that happen? Is this because I still don't know how to post YouTube videos correctly?

We need the world police force. Its team would look something like the cast of the original Star Trek.

Hey, where's Sulu? Probably behind Kirk somewhere.

Funny that you mention Star Trek. Does the Prime directive ring any bell? It is not really democratic to go and sort out other regimes, because you deem them to be 'undemocratic'. 'Sorry for throwing the bomb at you, but we are doing it for your own good!' It is not just stupid and naive. It is totally insane and retarded. How about we stop meddling with other countries business? Because it worked so well in Vietnam and Iraq.

WTF is up with North Korea? South Korea is pretty cool aside from the dog eating. Mega super, ultra-fast broadband on toast and some kickass movies too.

Let's say it escalates, do you think the US would support the South and China or Russia might support the North? Do we have another world war on our hands? And would North Korea on the brink of defeat use the nuclear bombs?

Since NK has nukes its a stand-off issue.  China won't get involved anymore than they currently are (which is propping up NK ). They can't afford to piss off their customers.

This is why Iran (and everyone else who hasn't got them) wants nukes.  It's the ultimate license to do as you please.  If Iraq has actually had any WMD there is no way we would have entered a land-war with them.

Three months ago, rather then escalate things the US and South Korean made up every possible excuse for the sinking of that South Korean ship before they finally had to admit NK did it.

I think you'll see some airstrikes, tighter sanctions. If NK responds poorly to the airstrikes, then who knows.  Hopefully a landwar, uniformed army against uniformed army -- those are wars the west knows how to win -- and it would provide a good rationale to exit wars we aren't good at (insurgency).

Hopefully a land war?! Great let's fight a army that is armed with nuclear weapons. Yes, who cares out Seoul, or Tokyo?! Small price to pay for victory. How about not fighting any wars for now, because God knows the USA can't afford one. For God's sake even China fears North Korea, these guys are scary armed and motherfucking hungry.

I don;t want any form of war, but not wanting wars doesn't stop them.  Go back to listening to Imagine. War is here forever, better that they be ones that don't go for 10 years and end in an unresolved mess forever.

China does not fear NK, it just doesn;t want their poor swamping their borders.

Not starting wars would be a good start. I am looking at you George W. Bush.
