Sorry you have to go to Boulder.... The peoples republic of Boulder as we call it.

:lol:

TDrag27·
Maybe WSVG would have had better success had they not chosen shitty games....
T
TANK·
Well they had Gears and Rainbow Six Vega didn't they? Not sure what else they had, probably Halo2.
W
Whamolla·
That stick was great.
T
TANK·
Ya, you seem to get one or the other. Devs seem to decide if their game is going to be MP or Story heavy and then just 'trow in' the other part. Games that do a good job at both are few and far between.

LuxDraconis·
I still care about TW......After Mass Effect.....I'll play it, I've been waiting for the patch.

JeepChick·
TAAAAANKKKK! Thanks for hanging out last night...aren't those IW guys the most insane people EVER!@
C
CRASHFIRE·
As usual, thanks for the updates.
T
TANK·
Sho, i used to do that a lot. Then between wasting a lot of time writing stuff and having other people submit a similar story ahead of mine making the time I spent writing an article wasted and the amount of time it takes for stuff to actually go from submission to being on the front page and the selection process so sometimes your stuff doesn't get put up there even if it's unique, i just decided i'd do what I do and let other people tend to the 'front page'.\r \r

GroovyElm·
I'm really suprised about the backwards compatibility update, I kind of figured that was done.
T
TANK·
I think this is probably the last update for a while. But i'm happy, i bought Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball when it came out but sold my old xbox shortly after so i never really played it and it's FINALLY supported!\r \r I tried asteroids out on XBLA, it looks cool but i still suck at it :lol:
T
TANK·
Ya it sounds like it'll have Test Drive type features.
D
darththorn·
Unfortunately the COD4 patch is for the PC.

Mandingo·
Leisure Suit Larry! Sweet. I remember hiding in my friends basement hoping to catch a look at some cartoon boobs back when I was like 10 or something.
E
ekattan·
I wonder who is going to get fired from gamespot.com for writing the review on Turning Point. LOL
M
microscent·
The SECRET DEATH OF Xbox360 (a must read)\r \r Great read! Are the missing iphones and 360's in the hands of terrorists?
T
TANK·
:lol: Most likely they're in a distibutors warehouse which is the middle man between reseller and manufacturer. \r \r
M
microscent·
I'm sure that's where they really are. (product dumping) I just like to imagine something more interesting. LOL
C
Caesar·
dude you get such great news, keep it up buddy
R
RyanFromVegas·
That post about a 360 shortage would seem to contradict that post a few weeks ago about MS inflating their sales numbers by pushing retailers to overstock 360's.
A
ATC_1982·
nice civ rev on june 3rd , right in time for fathers day, but damn it sucks cause same day as lego indy
R
rabbmasterflash·
that's odd, I swear I have seen this information somewhere
M
microscent·
double XP this weekend in halo? Hmm...
C

God I love The Escapist's reviews...\r \r ROFLMAO.
C

nice work buddy, enjoying the reads
C
Caesar·
this is what im talking about , yeah
T
TANK·
:lol: i just listened to the Smash Bros review which concludes \"you miserable fanboy twat\" :lol:\r \r
K
KingBayman·
Does the Summer Games include the \"Running for your Life\" Olympic torch run? Or maybe the Javelin Toss will have Tibetans lined up in the grass to measure distance.
C
Caesar·
lol
P
PeepshowJanitor·
What I'm wondering is with the hardware failures in India, when they call customer support, do they get their neighbors who they can understand, or do they get some dude over in america who they get frustrated with cause they can't understand what the hell they are saying? Just a thought.
O
OrzoKhan·
lol @ Peep!
A
ATC_1982·
I always get a smile with that BG& evil trailer
O
OrzoKhan·
BG&E was a very underated game more people should have played it. \r My kids totally love the Raving Rabbids Games, they were totally stoked to see that video. Looks like good use of the Wii Fit board.
C
Caesar·
jack thompson is a idiot\r ill have to wait till i get home but whats the gamer soical networking site?\r i cant hit it from work. looks interesting ghout
A
Azuredreams·
Regretfully, he has not \"Gotten\" disbarment...it's simply been suggested.
P
PeepshowJanitor·
God I hope EA doesn't get there claws into Take 2. We really need some independent companies out there that will make unique games, not the Bullshit that EA pumps out on a regular basis. But, in the end, the all mighty dollar will win out. Makes me sad.
T
TANK·
The social network site company is ThreeSF Inc. They didn't give the specific url but i imagine you can find it by the company
C
Caesar·
i may go get a blockbuster rental pass for games today, i have been thinking about gamefly though
T
TANK·
Check out the selection of games the BBs in your area has before you commit. It costs as much as Gamefly I think and they have way less selection.
C
Caesar·
oh gears 2, i cant even wait. it looks so good. im pumped just for sp campaign-doing it coop again. \r i cant imagine mp. a definite purchase
C
Caesar·
man, wii sports 2? me and the wife love wii sports, i watched the demo they did and im not that impressed. i was hoping for more sports games i guess more along the lines of what they released.\r very disappointed in that. the new wii motion thing looks neet
C
Caesar·
and what a dick , ms is stupid, this just goes to show they dont care about the fans, its all about them.\r they have a couple core games the drive there counsel and they dont talk about them? how stupid is that? while i agree the dashboard update is huge\r and basically a ripoff of the mii its still cool, and i like gow2 as well but i want to see the other big hitters. \r
T
TANK·
WiiSports 2 i think is designed mostly to showcase what the WiiMotion Pro thing can do. It comes with one of those connectors in the box.\r \r I thought Microsoft's announcements were solid. I've got 7 titles lined up for oct/nov. Fable2, Fallout3, Ghostbusters, EndWar, GoW2, Left4Dead and COD5. With that many solid games coming in those two months, i won't need to buy any more games until next fall! :lol:\r
A
Automan21k·
but wait, the biggest gaming conference on earth, isn't big enough for the announcement of the next Halo game....are they going to hijack the World Series, or the Superbowl to make the announcement? maby take over the Emergency Alert System for the announcement so it is on every TV and Radio in the US....ok, that would be pretty cool if they could pull that off.
T
TANK·
Oh the fly out guide that you get when you press the guide button on the controller .... that'll be a mini-version of the current dashboard design. You get the blade interface with lots of options in there. That's their way of keeping a bit of the old and familiar in with the new hottness.\r \r
T
th3midnighter·
Are we gonna have to pay for the new dash?
T
TANK·
The new dashboard is a mandatory system update and will be free.\r \r
A
ATC_1982·
I was hoping you were telling us when we were going to get the 007 demo.
T
TANK·
Well... it won't be till 2009 since the game doesn't come out till 2009. So i narrowed it down to 12 months for you :lol:\r \r
O
OrzoKhan·
M$ ran out of time to mention Bungie's next Halo project? WTF? Take out the lips demo or some of the other stupid games they showcased! I think that is just a load of crap!
J
JollyRoger·
Halo 3, not Halo 2 took over COD4
A
ATC_1982·
I was hoping for more questions than just a couple for the Grin interview.
T
TANK·
Halo 2 ... Halo 3 .... it's the same game :lol:
J
JollyRoger·
ROFL
Y
YEM·
damn Fallout 3 and GoW2 a week apart
T
TANK·
Ya, bethesda bumping F3 to the end of Oct bumped it off my buy list. I can't play both F2 and F3 that close together so there's no point in buying it, i can probalby get it cheaper in the new year or around the holidays. Hell, i can get it free if i get someone to buy it for me for xmas :lol:\r \r
L
LilGideon·
You think Bungie might take that ricochet bullet concept from COD4, that targets the people who team kill? It's a cool idea. Could use it in Halo 3.

Fixed the PVN link and the Facebraker one
J
JeepChick·
Just realized the STFU in that one. LOL
T
TANK·
I was wondering if anyone would catch that :lol:
K
kewljoe·
LOL good one!!
D
dkhodz·
KANOOIE? STFU? Are you trying to add humor intentionally?
T
TANK·
Kanooie was actually not intentional , i noticed it later and decided to leave it. STFU was intentional.\r \r Wanted to see how many people were paying attention :)
H
Hetfield·
I pre ordered Fable II a loooong time ago. I wanted the figure.\r I collect action figures.\r Now at the last second, No figure?\r Wow.....Thanks Lionhead.\r \r Although, The Bioshock figure is cool enough for two games!
T
TANK·
Ya they're really making friends.... first they cut out Live co-op and then they ditch the collectibles out of the collectors edition. \r \r
