Only nine days to wait in Sweden. It does sound good.

Fedor did it again. Great fight.

They are completely sold out in Sweden. They haven't had stock for months, and everytime they DO get a shipment, the backorders are so big they never end up in the stores.

Not me! Still debating whether to pick this up or not.

And the coincidences just keep piling up.

I'm sure you did. Especially since it's not been released in Sweden yet. Friday is when that happens.

"No pressure, Phil, but uh.. we kinda need you to score five times from now on. Per game."

Me too.

Yeah, and all those WMD's too!! No, wait..

Sigh. It feels like we've had this discussion before a lot of times. And still people are like "the games don't put a gun in your hand, they would have snapped anyhow". No. Games don't make people kill other people. But a person who has spent their entire childhood watching depictions of murder in various forms a few million times may become desensitised to violence. Of course, this is very hard to prove, but it wouldn't be a surprise to any of us. The first time you see a dead person, you're likely to react with fear. But due to diminishing returns, that shock factor is lessened for each and every time you're subjected to it. Why couldn't this also apply to games? Maybe having spent your childhood killing virtual people has devalued your appreciation of other human lives? Would that effect really be impossible? I don't think so. Put someone with low mental barriers against using violence in a highly stressful situation and something bad is likely to happen.

I guess that's bad luck for all those flight simulators that every pilot school in the world utilizes then.

The problem is that the review reads like a 6 (with that quote trying to exemplify the fact) and the game scores an 8. Read the review. It doesn't sound very appealing. Heavy handed dialogue, slow pace, bloated, loading times everywhere (which is only bad if a game is trying to be non-linear), clich

From the Eurogamer review: "...although it's a work of great accomplishment and craftsmanship - and no small amount of ambition - Dragon Age is sorely lacking in the things that make a truly great role-playing game, or any game for that matter: vision, inspiration, soul." 8/10. W.T.F.?

And now an even bigger beast is coming.. http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/31/atis-du...the-wilderness/ I wonder what that'll cost.

Seriously, that was a good effort by the Leafs. Bad luck, or whatever you might call it. They might as well have gotten the win.

I went to a party dressed as the 102:nd dalmatian (had 102 written on my behind). I'm guessing my gym routine is giving some results because I've never gotten so much attention from going out in long johns and a tight t-shirt before. Very good for my ego, except for the fact that I'm writing this post alone and ready for bed. Drunk as a drunken pig. Thank god for the Firefox spelling thingie!

It's not funny until one of you right wing nuts bring out the "we're doing it from the goodness of our hearts". Why do YOU think the US spends trillions on war? For no national benefits at all?

Me and my cousin played some more Uncharted 2 last night. We both suck pretty badly at it and get killed everywhere (even got run over by a truck last night). But the game is absolutely fantastic. I have never seen a more cinematic game before in my life. The last thing we did before quitting last night was having a firefight with a bunch of goons inside a bombed out hotel, while an attack helicopter was bombarding the building with rockets. After a while the entire building started collapsing and both me and my opponents glided towards a hole in the wall as the building toppled over. We managed to survive by jumping out through the hole and into an adjacent building, breaking through a window pane. Mind blowing stuff!

I'm definitely getting this!

I played Uncharted 2 at my cousins house the other night. Had a blast. Going there tonight too. Fantastic looking game.

Geez, can't you make that stupid knight stop beating on that poor orc?! IT JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON AND ON

Right. It's so obvious you're just pissed because you had to look up yet another expression on wikipedia. But hey, look at the bright side! Maybe now you won't have to use "straw man" and "slippery slope" in every post? "Find something fresh", haha. IRONY. Also, this entire thread.. it's pretty funny. Does it matter whether you're called a hero or a terrorist when you gun down those pixels? Does it matter if your in-game enemies are called innocent civilians or Islamic-terrorists-against-the-glorious-nation-of-the-United-States-of-America? All that matters to me is whether the game is fun to play or not. Doesn't look like much fun when the enemies don't fight back. It reminded me of Dead Rising though.

That was actually hilarious.

I'm just hoping it won't take eight games until our next sweet victory..
