General Gaming / RE: Half-Life 2 "Black Box" cancelled

that's a shame cause I know it'll cost more to get all 3 separately. maybe they'll give a super discount for getting it early through steam like they do with some other titles.

I won't be dissapointed cause I'm not expecting a whole bunch. Just a prettier starcraft with some new things here and there. also, it was just announced two days ago. There's plenty of time for them to announce all the new features and whatnot.

Red Star is kind of fun. and a good deal since I payed like $15 for it. I'm getting odin sphere simply because it's the prettiest game I've ever seen.

the trailer looks great, IGN has a sick tonne of images up for it that look fantastic. and it'll be playable on XP and non DX10 pcs and macs for those people too unfortunate to not have an actual computer.

Team Fortress 2 is focusing a lot more on making the classes play differently and stuff. I can't wait cause the game just looks like fun.

it's not surprising since square recently said somewhere (or at least I think I read it. I could just be putting in what I perceived them to be saying) they were focusing their attention on bringing their old games to new fans instead of focusing on newer stuff. and making everything legacied, like how we already have 3 FFXIII games before it's even close to being out. mostly cause it's cheaper and easier for them and makes more money.

anyone know how retiring your character works. like where you build them up and throw 'em away to get a superior version of that character.

oh, the game is lots of fun.

you really can't compare spider-man 3 and halo 3 to linkin park. mostly because no one who likes their ears was looking forward to the new linkin park cd.

General Chat / RE: TMNT Movie

« on: March 26, 2007, 11:39:06 AM »

I didn't mind splinter's voice at all. It sucked at the very beginning but worked the more I heard it. I didn't mind don's voice. The movie just needed more of him and mikey. I'm having a hard time seeing how people didn't like this movie though. With the exception of not enough don and mikey, which I'm sure we'll get in the next movie, I couldn't find anything wrong with it. It was what it was. From the second the little intro with the stone soldiers ended I felt like I was 9 years old. and that's all I wanted. I didn't go into thinking I was 9, but the movie did that to me. it just sucked me into it's happy little world of awesomeness.
I liked all the little stuff in it too like how raph is physically bigger than the other turtles and leo is taller and lankier. and the way Mikey walks n bounces and the way Don scoots n stuff.

Shredder was totally Karai's buddy. like, that foot guy was too cool to not be shredder. cause he was cool. and in like 5 scenes.

I lost my train of though and stuff. oh well. but I haven't had this much fun in the movies since. . . . well 300 (and turtles was more fun) but before that it had been since last summer at least. probably before then.

yeah, for some reason a lot of places delude themselves into thinking you want to work there for the rest of your life. I lied to get the job I'm getting now. I told them I wasn't still taking classes or anything like that and they said that was a good thing.

I love this movie. There was blood, and fighting, and violence, and cool violence. It was just what I expected from it.

I beat it and it's another big notch in the DS' belt. I'm very impressed with it. I think the wifi is like the shop mode in portrait of ruin, but I really am just talking out my butt

Has there been any word in the past 3 months about whether or not this is going to come to the states, or is it a safe import?

I maeks teeth. I make molds and thing. and also I make tips and parts of teeth for dentists. like, say you needed some teeth. your dentist would give us a holla and we'd cook you up some teeth and give it to your dentist and he'd give you your teeth so you could eat real foods again.

As sad as it seems, the thing that pushed me over the edge at gamestop was the fact that some games costs 26.99. A few months ago there was no such thing as a 26.99 game. if the game new costs 29.99 the used one would cost 24.99. Why on earth would anyone want a used game for $2 less than the brand new one? The price on a lot of used games are going up for absolutely no reason at all. Also they're putting pretty much all their focus on reservations and subscriptions and it kills customer service. And a lot of the policies we would have to follow are just plain dumb.

I should've left when I went from minimum wage employee in my first year of college to store manager in like, 4 months. I got a promotion per month. and then I stayed there working around my school schedule mostly. I was the youngest guy on the staff being everyone's boss. that's stupid. three years later after all the BS rules and stupid policies and upper management losing their damn minds I just up and left. I had two ASMs, both with store manager experience, and neither of them were promoted. Instead they hired some punk who's been with the company for less than a month and he's the horror story you hear on the internet. He's that guy that ask you to reserve a game 40 times, sells used games as new, doesn't check any used games to see if they're all scratched up and sell it to you regardless, lie to you about what you're buying, sneak a reserve on your transaction you didn't pay for, and cheat the system to get subscriptions out of you kind of jackass. So my favorite asm quit and the other asm quit. my third key moved to a different store and all my game advisors found better jobs. and now the store can't do anything and always looks a mess.

I just got a new job after being a store manager at gamestop for like, too long. cause that's not a job for a college student. my new job is as a dental technician. Problem is I have to learn stuff before I can do the job, so I'm in these classes that would put Ben Stein to sleep. Ira (the teacher) hates his life and takes it out on me and the three other trainees. still though, I'd rather be doing this 20 hours a day than spend another minute at gamestop.
also, is it wrong that I love the fact that since I left the store has been a disaster.

I wish it was something other than manhunt. I'd rather get a warriors port or bully. bully was great. manhunt didn't do anything for me.

I play alto and tenor sax, Tuba, drums, and turn tables. I've played sax for almost 13 years. I've palyed the drums for 8 years and tuba for 5. I'm mostly into jazz instrumentals and stuff. I just got on the turn tables three years ago and I love it.

I've been playing this game for like a week and it's atrocious. they changed tip-tup's voice and the hover crafts control worse. and you can't barrel roll. This game is also easier than the 64 version. I had no trouble running through whizpig or any of the other bosses. and it's not cause I"m older, I just played it again today.
