RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!, just a dumping ground
Typical. Why would they seize the inventory? Seizing the profits from the sold inventory seems a lot better from a business standpoint.

Prop 8
That sounds more like a short term backlash than an actual increase in racial intolerance. That is to be expected with any change, and if anything it drives the people who are on the fence about the issue into the tolerant camp.

Another Modern RPG, please
I really think you should play AP. I'm not saying you are going to love it, but I think you might be a bit surprised by it.

Question to Brits
I had a Fat Burger awhile back, that was a good burger.

Hot Tub Time Machine - Pretty funny. I imagine it will only be enjoyable if you lived through the 80's. Kick-Ass - Extremely good. I would love to see a bit more of this universe, it was a great ride.

Fallout: New Vegas
Interesting take on things there, mkreku. As usual. I don't think anybody who posts in this thread hates FO3. But maybe we define hate differently. Oddly enough, I really enjoyed Fallout 3 and defend it frequently, but I've never bought any DLC. Of course, I really am not looking for a game to last me for a long stretch, I'm just happy if I can beat it in a month and move on.

Prop 8
If you really want a fair popular vote over the matter, then only gay people should be allowed to vote on the issue, as it solely affects them. As for the Federal government stepping in being a sign of the apocalypse, that is just not going to happen. The Federal government has stepped in on much larger issues. I don't see how a Federal decision on marriage is larger than slavery, or segregation, or Jim Crow laws, or even Health Care. State versus Federal power has been disputed since the founding of our nation, and it will keep being disputed long after I am dead and buried.

Del Toro And Cameron to shoot 'Mountains Of Madness' movie
I'm soooo tired of the 3D craze. I can't watch movies in 3d without being uncomfortable, and my wife is the same way. I don't see why Hollywood really thinks this is a good idea.

Can't go wrong with a naked top hat wearing ****ney guy who pimp-slaps random people on the street. Plus the pimp slap animation is epic. The storyline ain't half bad either. And the car customization is insane, I've got a whole stable of tricked out rides.

Fallout: New Vegas
If RDR is a lousy game, then I am a big fan of louses.

Making a honest lvl 300 is possible.
Fascinating. But in a train wreck sort of way.

Fat and stupid people get married all the time, the Lifetime Network has a reality show about it.

I think I'm going to have to give up playing WoW due to my internet connection. It is just really crappy. Sometimes I get around 200 latency, but it shoots all over the place if anyone else in the house is even online. It's bad. LotR Online is bad too, about 150 latency, but it is more stable. WoW just drops out after awhile. I need to move.

Arkham Asylum was brilliant, but why are we going to another prison? Wouldn't it be cooler to explore a section of Gotham City itself? Maybe the Wayne skyscraper or even his manor?

What you did today
Thanks man. It's all stress related we think. He's been out of a job for 6 months now, and we've moved into my grandfathers place (more for convenience than financial reasons) but he's still gotta worry about my college tuition and my sister's. Not to mention my mom death, which was probably where he started going down hill a little. That is a lot of stress. Is he getting regular checkups?

Prop 8
I'm confused what you mean by the 70%. Prop 8 passed with 52% of the vote. While 7 million people voted for it, and I agree that is a huge number, there were also 6.4 million votes against it. That is a very large minority.

I'm sure they've already got it written up.

Prop 8
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100804/ap_on_..._marriage_trial Thank you Judge Walker, for protecting the individuals and minorities against the tyranny of the majority. I know we still have two more courts to go through, but this is a great start and I have a hard time believing the Supreme Court will side with religious groups over civil rights activists and fellow judges.

Obsidian website
I sense much anger in that thread. Wow seriously, that is hard to read. I've never actually looked at the Codex forums, very interesting dialogue up in there. Now I see a bit where Volourn's anger comes from though. Everyone here is fairly cordial to the guy, but he definitely gets beat up on there. Makes me feel even worse for the guy.

Brooklyn's Finest - Not all that good, which is a shame because it has a decent group of actors. The problem was you didn't really root for any of the three cops it was about, they were all very unlikable.

I couldn't figure out how to finish off the big bosses in Space Rangers 2. I could take out a Dominator Fleet, but those things kill me in two turns. I even recruited a bunch of guys for a run at them, but nada.

I think I picked it up on sale at Target for cheaper than that.

What are you playing now
I decided to give WoW another trial run after enjoying Starcraft. I don't know why, I guess it was just the general Blizzard feel that their games ooze. I'm actually getting into it a bit more than I have in the last few years. I had a level 58 Paladin from way back in the day. I couldn't get back into playing him, but the Death Knight role seems rather fitting. I can just pretend my Paladin has been dead for a few years and suddenly woke up as a DK. I just finished the into instance, it was decent. I'll try to give Northrend a try before my 10-day trial is up, so I can decide if a subscription is worth it.

I really enjoyed both Season 1 and 2. It isn't 90210 drama. It is a bit of Buffy/Angel, a bit of Twin Peaks, and has some great characters. Jason Stackhouse is an awesome character, too.
