Tale

Haven't touched multiplayer. And this is the first problem I've had. Tried to load my older saves and they won't load. The load dialogue completes, but the level itself won't load. 2nd oldest save loaded indefinitely until I quit game. Oldest save (of 3) loaded for a long time then froze. I've either got dying hardware or something really screwy going on with profiles/saves here. I think I'll play a different game tomorrow and see how it goes. Got a level out of Extraction without problems, but that's not going to tell me too much.

7 times now. 5 of those freezes have been at about the same time and place. I think I'll walk on the other side of the room and see what happens. Edit: Walk other side of the room, no freeze at all. Yeah, it's the game. Edit 2: But the room after next freezes.... Edit 3: Up to 10 freezes now.

Dead Space 2 has frozen 5 times in one room. It's beginning to annoy me. I hope it's just the game and my console isn't dying.

This Saturday? I need more notice!

NOW you tell me.

What about the shut down of the internet?

They don't die, but that doesn't mean they don't fall down. They cease being a meatshield when they're unconscious on the floor.

How does that look like a cyborg? It's regular armor with a glowing face. What part of that suggests electronic/organic connection?

Wait, there's cyborg armor, now?

Well, they have closed non-internal testers now. But they're not calling it "beta."

For those curious about Magicka, I can recommend it. I hear that it's really buggy trying to play multiplayer. But doing a single player adventure is still fun.

Heck, I thought PSP's graphics were just fine. Still enjoying Peace Walker and the new God of War.

Touchscreen, touchpad, I'll cut you! Yeah, I meant the touchpad.

How many good films have been completely serious? And puerile? Did I miss a booger joke somewhere?

Two touchscreens and two cameras? I'm expecting to pay a pretty penny on that thing.

I'm not good with horror games, myself. But eventually I decided on a system of saving, then treating each outing after a save as if I'm just trying to see what's next and not caring if I died or ran out of ammo. I'm not even reloading saves after each fight anymore!

*enter room* *see something fly away from the side of the screen* *look around and can't find it* CHIIIIIRP *look around some more* *must be gone* chirp I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE! *move forward* HOWL

I like gimmicks. Did gimmicks do something to you? You got a problem with gimmicks, you got a problem with me! *puts fists up*

I've got the Path. I never really found it scary, it's just really creep when you think about it. Some of the analysis for what it could mean are disturbing.

If anything it sounded closer to them not working on Skyrim at all, working on a completely different project. Not that they couldn't have helped with Skyrim at the same time.

It's not that kind of horror, but at least it's well done. Personally, I don't feel Dead Space is scary, just very stressful. I never felt that Silent Hill 2 or CoC were scary, just excessively tense.

Maybe if it had a hat for TF2.

Saturday the 14th maybe? It wasn't a comedy. Are you thinking of House? It has it's funny moments though. Got it on dvd (got it dirt cheap a few years ago in the bargain bin). It could be, I guess. I must research this further. Edit: It must be. A google search of house 1986 brought up the vietnam zombie I remembered. I love you, Gorth. Marry me.

I don't know how to answer that. Video game horror revolves around monster closets with intermissions of blood stained empty rooms and ominous music. That's pretty much the "actual horror stuff" of the genre.

Other impressions. The game is a lot darker. I don't mean "dark and edgy" I mean "can't see ****, captain." Oftentimes all you see is what you're pointing your weapon at. Not all the time, but there are segments. I don't really remember DS1 ever actually doing that. The change to zero grav seems to be a good one.
