I lent out a ton of PS1 games to a friend, who then lend it out to another friends who lost them all. This was way after the PS2 was out but still I was pissed to lose some PS1 games.

What a dick. I once lent a friend a CD and didn't get it back for over a year. But lending out your stuff to someone else is not on.

Dvader said:

GG you asked a question last week, something about why collect games if you never play them. I need to find the post again. Or you can tell me what it was you said. I wanted to comment on it but never got to.

I said that I was replaying old games recentely and wondered, if I stopped buying new games today, how long would it take to replay every game in your collection. And if you don't intend to replay them, then why keep them?

aspro said:




Give it time. Right now, due to the low install base it makes more sense for the third parties to develop for the DS (in the west) and the PSP in Japan.

They aren't planning ahead, the 3DS may blow up in sales within the next year and all these games they should have been working on, yet aren't will then be ages away from release.

aspro said:




Nothing too dramatic for me. I sold back Super Monkey Ball, Luigi's Mansion and Silent Hill 2 at some point. I wish I still had them.

What about the game you shotgunned and ran a tractor over and videotaped for us? LOL

What was funny is that it was a much longer conversation. I was sitting next to him, the cat came creeping up and he said: "Why is he going near there. Nooo! GG get him away from there. No, stop! Why is he doing that? He's getting closer. Don't do it! No! No! Nooooooooooooooo! "

I was replaying Majora's Mask last night.

I was one of the Majora > Ocarina guys, but playing Majora so soon after Ocarina was making me re-evaluate my position. You can see how in some ways, Majora is Zelda on the cheap, a fast tracked Zelda. Not only do you have the same character models, assets and some music repeated there are similar areas, it's essentially a mirror world. Nintendo made EAD do it quickly so they were forced in innovate in other ways - like the time system for instance.

Having played Ocarina just before, I was made aware of how lavish and fully featured Ocarina is. Ocarina is like the sweeping epic, whilst Majora is the twisted little brother, different in many ways and unique unto itself. I had beat Snowpeak temple and I was wondering if my opinion of Majora was over inflated and nostalgia ridden. Then I made my way into Great Bay and the Zora Kingdom and it put a huge smile on my face. Being this little brother Zelda, it's one I haven't replayed as much as Ocarina, which makes revisiting it all the more rewarding. Digging around the Zora's cavern you find that the characters are really fleshed out and all linked together as members of the band. You get little pieces of their story and you're working towards uniting them again. It sort of feels like being Marty McFly in Back to the Future, trying to get his parents back together. Happy

Then there is another melancholy moment. This game is pretty dark, you  get two of the masks in this game from dead or dying people and then you parade around in their masks and the people left behind, think that you are their dead friend and link makes no attempt to tell them differently. You even bury one of them and read tips from his headstone. Meloncholy? Just a little LOL.

Then as a Zora the ocean becomes an underwater hyrule field and I remembered the Pirate Fortress Grinning and the vertical abyss you have to brave to find the zora eggs and fight the giant eels. This game is awesome.

Oh yeah, tried to save Mallon from the UFOs Grinning I failed but it was so fun. Will try again.

AMD: Xbox 720 graphics will look like Avatar





Technology company AMD, who supplied the graphics hardware for the Xbox 360, claims that the next Xbox will be capable of the level of graphical detail seen in James Cameron's movie Avatar. Even on PC, that kind of technology just isn't here yet, but AMD claims the Xbox 720 will launch with it.



While AMD would not confirm they were actually working on the 360's successor, director of ISV relationships at AMD, Neal Robison, stated that gamers have a lot to excited about.



Robison also mentioned that the A.I. and physics capabilities of the next-gen hardware will allow for every pedestrian in a game such as Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row to have a totally individual mentality, meaning when you shoot a gun or run someone over they don't all just do the same thing. There will be no more mob mentality, where everyone just screams and runs away; every NPC will actually be an individual character.



Whoa.

So. We have Greg Kasavin working on Bastion and Shane Bettenhausen working on El Shaddai...

Homer! When are we going to be seeing --YOUR-- name in the credits for something?!



He'll more likely end up in the credits of a gay porno than a game.

Oh really?!  GASP

Fluffer?  GASP

Body Double?  GASP

Homer! You and I need to talk!

Gotta take a walk to get my coffee!

I need to wake up for my EPIC SSFIV BATTLES with Robio...!

...and maybe Yoda!

This morning *hopefully* will result in an epic three-way fighting tournie !

I'm prepping my coffee now. I got a wicked New Orleans brew a few days ago that's strong enough to peel paint from walls or maybe even the hair off of Steel's balls. Anyway I'm hopping on in 15 minutes. Shoot me a heads up whenever after that.
