General Discussions on Delay of Game

Batman Arkham Origins

ReclaimerM3GTR — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:14:54 -0400

I can't be the only one that actually saw this?
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/batman-arkham-origins-blackgate-revealed-coming-this-fall/

So let me get the stuff I hate so far. It's a prequel(boo), Rocksteady isn't making it, Warner Brothers Montreal is(sadface).

I watched a video interviewing the staff they game a bit more info it. It takes place in Gotham City on Christmas Eve. 8 Assassins are in Gotham with one goal kill Batman, one of those Assassins will be Deathstroke. So maybe Lady Shiva, David Cain, Deadshot(in his proper outfit) will show up.

I just hope we don't see the Joker at all, a passing reference I'm fine with

GTA V

AnThMaN — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:28:16 -0500

A user named AP15 over at Gamefaqs leaked GTA V info from the December issue of GameInformer.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/634491-grand-theft-auto-v/64476559

So, presented in an easy to digest, bullet-pointed list, here’s all the salient info posted online. If you’d rather go unspoiled, then you should probably avoid looking.

-You play as Albert DeSilva a half american half puerto rican american
-He is 42 years old and has an ex wife and 2 kids
- the show breaking bad has a little influence on the game as Albert is drawn to the life of crime from an older age for the money.
-You also play as Dougie Vejo a younger criminal just coming up in Los Santos
-Los Santos is the only large city, smaller towns round out the countrtyside.
- Grove Street makes a return, however Carl and Sweet are not in the game.
-Money plays a large part as Albert lost most of his in a ponzi like scheme.
-Property buying is back
-The only customization for characters are clothes/hair/facial hair. no gyms or tattoos
-one or more characters from 4 may show up
-car customization is back, seems more fitting for Dougie however Albert may be going through a midlife crisis.
-the triumphant return of Lovefist!!! or as the band is now known as the Jezzies.
-Songs confirmed so far: My Michelle-Guns and Roses, Magic Power- Triumph, California Dreaming- The beach boys and Beautiful-Snoop Dogg featuring Pharrell.
-New mini games include golf, tennis and surfing
- Mission played was called "Alimony" featured the scene from the trailer in which they rob the jewelry store
-Robbery returns only for Dougie, dispensaries are a large source of cash income
-You can switch between Albert and Dougie by holding down the back button(360)
Game autosaves at that point
-Stinger makes a return
-Speculated not confirmed Aziz Ansari voices radio DJ for current hip-hop station

This information is not confirmed nor is there a source for the users intel.
Now before we start our discussion on what is to be one of the best games EVAR,

Posts would preferably be formatted like so :

'Song'
Album
-Artist-

Random Stuff About Nothing

WhorrorLoLz — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 03:27:37 -0400

I'm bored at 3:30 AM, so I figured I'd post some random stuff.
Who knows, this thread could maybe even be used for random things, if you don't know where to post it.

The first thing I'll post is...
I wonder how much it would cost to get a human being stuffed.

Good Fit Gamers Program

Ozzi — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 23:19:52 -0500

Hello Everyone!
So here we are in a day and age with fast food and preservatives. really not the healthiest choices out there!

I challenge all of you including myself to cut that out of our diets!

For an example last night i cooked up a salmon filet with rice and veggies. made a great dinner! and a great lunch today!

I did that instead of going to the store and getting

fish sticks or

McDonald's....

Etc etc etc!

The preservatives and unhealthy choices are everywhere now!

not only did i eat less calories. I added more essential vitamins and nutrients in me!

we can all make goals!

for me

-Quit Drinking Coffee
-Lose weight
-Gain more muscle
-Eating more Veggies
-Eat less red meats
-Drink more water

I know some of these seem like they're easy but once we get into a habit its hard to quit it!

Lets start off slow.

"Drop The Pop"

I challenge everyone including myself to stop drinking pop!

- Drink a glass of water instead.

The Second portion of this is Fitness:

I'm not the most educated in this subject, but seeing were starting off small Nike has created a brand about bringing the

workout to your house as it tracks your progress! whether its from a mobile device or from a gaming console like the Xbox.

Here are a few of their workouts apps/games.

(Nike Marketed this towards women, but it works the exact same for men. i have a few friends that use this app and they tell me it kicks their asses every day.)

This really does make it so people can pick it up and workout! It's so easy too, that there shouldn't be any excuses!

With this i challenge you to Start doing some more physical activity!

The Phone app is free and the game costs 50 Dollars new.

You can start on there or find your own way to get more physical activity in!

PS.If someone with more physical experience could add to this that would be awesome!

Lets start an open discussion!

Random Beef! Insert Rant Here

Doos — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:35:22 -0400

I'm number one! Farva's number one! WOOO!

So, at work today, some other dude's train almost ran into ours.. It was pretty entertaining. If it hadn't of been for a lot of luck and my quick actions, there would have been some big, BIG explosions in London tonight.. plus I'd probably be dead!

Hooray for living!

A note to new posters/members: This is the 'Random' thread, used for ranting, venting, story telling and whatever else. Talk about whatever.

The previous one went bye-bye. This is it's replacement.

The Concert Thread

xxDinoSaurus — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 22:48:32 -0400

Since the music thread is so popular, I figured I'd make a concerts thread to post about past and upcoming concerts, experiences at concerts, etc. etc.

Do you like concerts? Have you been to one before? Who have you seen live? Who would you like to see?

I'm a concert junkie. My dad was when he was younger too, so he's been taking me to concerts for the longest time. I absolutely love them, and I go to so many. I haven't been to one in a while and would like to get back into that groove.

My first concert was in June or July, 2005 when I was 11 years old. It was Green Day. I had so much fun. Billy Joe Armstrong was working the crowd with his "warmup exercises" and everybody repeated him. I was always really quiet but when I got to that concert I yelled and sang so much that I basically lost my voice.

Since then, I have been to numerous concerts. I remember that Good Charlotte was my second concert (30 Seconds To Mars opened for them, along with someone else I believe), then Simple Plan. After that, I couldn't tell you the order lol.

I wish I would have kept all my ticket stubs (would be quite the collection!) but unfortunately I've misplaced the majority of them. However, I do own at least one shirt from every single concert I've ever been to (that was paid for, that is).

I'll name off other concerts I've been to at a later time, but right now I'm wondering, have you ever been?

My Review Blog/Site

Wick — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 19:29:09 -0500

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Lets have a conversation using only images...

Pokemon X and Y

LegendofMyth — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:35:25 -0500

Nintendo announced the next generation of Pokemon games this morning. Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, for the Nintendo 3DS. The first hand held Pokemon games to feature 3D battles. My excitement levels are high.

Hockey Night in Canada

xxDinoSaurus — Thu, 02 May 2013 00:59:21 -0400

Honestly, how do we not have a hockey thread yet? I considered making a sports thread but I figure with playoffs going on that the hockey thread would be appropriate.

Favourite teams?
Favourite players?
Your team in the playoffs?

I personally don't really follow hockey but I'm a bandwagonning Canucks fan (watching the game right now). Jets aren't bad imo, but they certainly disappointed Winnipeg after 16 years now that they're back.

Watching the playoff game right now, looks like SJ is gonna take the win for this one.

edit: oh if I somehow missed a previously made hockey thread (searched briefly) then feel free to lock/delete this one.

Injustice: Gods Among Us

Juxtapose — Thu, 31 May 2012 12:32:49 -0400

NetherRealm Studios next fighting game. Looks like it'll be 3D instead of 2D. Not sure what to think yet.

Mortal Kombat

Sintacs — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 19:32:08 -0400

Has anybody check out the new Mortal Kombat yet? A buddy of mine gifted me a copy but what I've experienced in it so far, I gladly would have payed the $60 or whatever for the game if I could have afforded it. I've enjoyed some of the past MK games (UMK3, MK4), but I've never been too big a fan of the series (hated the first 2). This is the first time I've ever been excited for a MK ttile and I have yet to be disappointed. The return to 2D gameplay is very welcome, I could never quite get into the 3D ones, it always felt like they could have been better off without the extra dimension. The actual fighting gameplay itself is smoother than ever and feels great, all characters play differently from one another, all of the basic punch and kick combos are unique to each character. All of my favorite characters of the series are here, among some new twists to the cast. The story mode is rather lengthy, but really well done, fights and cutscenes merge seamlessly, making it feel like a martial arts movie that becomes a video game once the fights start. The challenge tower is quite fun and with 300 challenges, it will take some time to complete. So far my favorite challenge was one where you play as Scorpion and you are tasked with defending your right to hate teddies against Mileena who has made one for you. I haven't dipped into the multiplayer side of things yet, but everything I've experienced in the single player side of things so far has been superb. As a long time Street Fighter fan, I'm surprised to find myself saying I've had way more fun with this than any Street Fighter game I've played, and this is definitely one of the best fighting games I've ever played. If you've had any interest in this, I definitely suggest checking it out.

Song Lyrics

TimothyWedel — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 20:47:34 -0500

I noticed that I seem to be posting more and more song lyrics on Twitter lately and apparently some people have a problem with it so I thought I would bring it over here where people can just not click on this thread if they don't want to deal with it.

I have music on almost 24/7 and whenever I come across a sentence or phrase that I like or feel relates to me I feel a need to share it with people.

Come in and read if you feel like it, if not just press that nice ol' mark all viewed button at the top of the page.

Arkham City

ReclaimerM3GTR — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 23:12:45 -0400

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-8535-Batman--Arkham-City-Lets-You-Play-as-Catwoman.html

Apprently Selina Kyle will be playable in 10% of the game, she has her own moves and gadgets. I like the idea of playing as another character....but Catwoman really? Not Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing

LegendofMyth — Thu, 09 May 2013 00:47:57 -0400

Papers, Please [Try it!]

EyeOfTheHawks — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:48:50 -0400

Stumbled across this gem.
Its in beta right now, and free to download from his site.
http://dukope.com/

Its a retro-styled game where you play a worker in a newly opened border checkpoint, and must process enough people to put food on the table for your family.

You check passports and the like.
It sounds pretty boring, I thought so too, until i sunk like an hour and a half into it. Fun shit

So, since i'm getting my first iPad tomorrow (actually it'll be my first ever Apple product bought) and have no idea on which apps are a must on that tablet (aside a few games reviewed by Megashaun and MRob), i'm asking you guys what are your top 10 apps out of the somewhat 275,000+ ones available out there to help me out on choosing out of the bunch the must-have on that new Shinny i'm about to get.

Stupidest Trend ever

TTRDrPayne — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:47:01 -0400

Anybody who does this deserves to crash into a lamp post and die in the burning wreckage.

I cannot think of a stupider trend then this. I seriously hope that it does not become a big trend, or even anything more then the couple of fucktards who have already done it.
