Yeah OL, that was the funniest part of the episode. After she left and he leaned on the door going "YEESSSS" after getting possibly the worst kiss I've ever seen on television, from a girl hes ALREADY slept with before lol. He's one of my favorite stand up comedians. "Louie" has a natural, real life vibe to it that most TV shows only dream of.

Re: Official E3 2014 Topic

Nintendo has by FAR the most games I want. Great stuff coming out on both X1 and PS4 too, but I only felt real excitement seeing the Nintendo titles. Hopefully they show more about X at some point. I wish I wasn't at work so I could watch more of the streams :sad:

EDIT: YESSSSSSS

Re: Official E3 2014 Topic


But honestly, I feel like X has lost its true Xenoblade quality. I mean those character models just dont really look that good, they seem bland and un original, this is monoliths first HD game and im sure they arent experts on it. Also it seems like some of the artistic style that we saw in the first game has been lost and replaced with alot of metal and mechs, too many. The game looks alot more like Xenosaga, and I think the visual magic that came with the first game has ceased. I was really liking the new direction that they were headed in after playing the first game, and now seems they are reverted back to lots of mechs, space ships, and space in general. Also I would have prefered a set main character and not had the choice to go male or female and customize them, thats just not JRPG to me. Still, I love the other style alot too, some of my most favorite games ever are in this style so I am will still play it and im sure enjoy it. It was just Xenoblade was such a breath of fresh air, not just from a JRPG but from Monoliths usual style for the xeno games, that was a big factor of what made it so special and I wish they had continued more of that. Maybe they can sway opinion once I get my hands on this game.

I don't think it will be too far off from Xenoblade though. Remember the first game play trailer with the vast, lush green world they were piloting the mech around in? The huge world will still be there to explore, as well as the combat and quests im sure. I did love the art style of Xenoblade though, that will be missed, but the switch back to Monolith's roots of SciFi and mechs make sense. Given that Xenoblade was originally "Monado: Beginning of the World" and after seeing the new trailer knowing this one is about preventing the destruction of it, which was hinted at in previous games to happen in the future. Only fitting we have the Tech needed to stop the invasion. I too prefer a set MC, but I think the reason there isn't here is because of the possible online aspect. The early trailer showed 4 players from what I remember. So with the story not being tied to one MC, everyone might be able to play together in squads or something, since the MC looks to be part of some earth defense force of some sort. Makes sense to not tie it down to one MC and force the other 3 to be some random generic toon. This way each person has their own unique personality they've crafted and can drop it and out. I have a feeling there will be some sort of mission base, where you can group up and tackle side quests together and the main story arc will be solo. I could be wrong though, as all of that is just me speculating on what I've seen. I'm sure looking forward to it though. Monolith is one of the few studios I still have 100% faith in. I'm sure we'll be talking about this one a lot in the future lol

Re: Random Thoughts

I agree locking a troll thread then forgetting about it is the proper way to handle these things. Deleting and acting like the stuff never existed is part of the reaction trolls want, along with getting people worked up.

On the other hand, with this one in particular, I could see where someone would want it deleted. I mean this guy was clearly a troll, but people like him do exist. With the amount of global negativity Americans are already viewed with, having garbage like this one on a site people from around the world view would only add to it. But in the end logical people know a troll when they see it, and aren't bothered by them. Which is why I agree with it being locked and forgotten. When you delete things, people have a tendency to recreate them out of spite.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

I am really tempted to buy this. In store purchase would be roughly $433 so I would save almost 75 bucks. And would still have the Sony warranty. Not sure if I should pull the trigger or spend the extra and buy it in store. Just weird how someone is selling it below MSRP with free shipping on top of that. But the person has sold over 800 of them so makes me think its legit, and he has over 49k transactions on eBay, 99% positve feedback.

Re: Nostalgia City!

I'm 5 years older than my brother, so when we were young (late 80's to early 90's) we preferred playing coop games. It started with Rambo on the master system then to Contra, TMNT the arcade game on NES and so on til this very day with Borderlands 2. But he always loved watching me play RPG's. We would sit for hours on end enthralled by the story, characters and music. We would each pick a party member and read their dialogue out loud so that he would feel included when I played. So the most nostalgic game to me is Secret of Mana. I remember getting it for my birthday, and being floored when we found out it had multiplayer. For the first time we got to go on this grand adventure together, with him fighting at my side. Cheesy I know, but that's how it felt. We got so lost in the story and that bright vivid world, that is was all we talked about for weeks. We've beaten that game so many times over the years that I've lost count. All it takes is one song from that soundtrack, and I'm instantly 10 years old again saving the world with my brother.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

Yeah Space Marine was a lot of fun, totally underrated. The first Warhammer game I played was Space Hulk: Vengeance back on Saturn, a weird fps hybrid, which I thought was its own random game at the time. It wasn't until I got Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War on PC (awesome RTS, more than likely dated as hell) that I realized there was this giant universe built around a table top game. I always wanted to read some of the books but never got around to it. Found out recently there was an animated movie as well, plan on looking into that soon.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

I noticed a shift after Nintendo's E3 Tree-house events, while reading through various articles. Now after the Fatal Frame reveal I bet it will be even more obvious, especially if it gets localized. Give it a years time, and most of the Wii-U haters will pretend they were day one supporters lol. Just like the Gamecube all over again.

I do NOT mean anyone here, but the internet in general. One of the best things about this place is the fact people tend to stick by their opinions.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

Yeah I think the SNES was their peak, mainly because of the third party support they had back then. If I made a list of my favorite games from the NES/SNES 90% of them would have Square, Capcom, Enix or Konami attached to them. I've owned all their systems, but starting with the N64 I bought them for Nintendo developed or published titles for the most part. All the developers/series I liked then jumped ship to Sony and its been that way ever since.
I agree the DS is on a whole other level when it comes to handhelds. Well Nintendo in general like you said, but for me the DS in particular forever raised the bar for portable games.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

The point is people thought this kind of thing would NEVER happen back in '08 when I said it would happen next gen and look what happened.


To be honest I'm surprised it took this long for consoles to catch up to PC when it comes to digital distribution, because its easy money and the systems have been in place for a while now. Years ago I would be playing various indie titles on Steam and be like "this game would be perfect on PSP" but there wasn't anything like them on PSN. Now more and more indie titles are on PSN/XBL and I can get them on my Vita. They just have to fix their pricing on some of the AAA stuff. Too many titles are full price online but disc versions are 30 or less in the stores. Slowly but surely they are making progress, especially letting people preorder and preload titles on PSN now.

Re: Recent Gaming Purchases

This is one game you guys have to play before judging AG, its about as far from the typical zombie bandwagon as it can get. I'm tired of all the zombie crap my self, but this game bleeds originality from start to finish. And IMO, the writing was light years beyond Uncharted. The interaction between Joel and Ellie is unmatched, two of my favorite characters of any game last gen. This was no cheap cash in or sell out on their part, the game literally pushed the PS3 to its absolute limits, and showed just how good Naughty Dog can be when they stray from the easy path of sequels. Sony didn't make them design something for the drone masses :lol:. You should try it out man, cheap now on PS3. Or try the 1080p one if you get that PS4. Comes with the DLC and everything. I'll be buying the remastered one right along side my white PS4.

Here ya go, comes out in December. Kind of expensive being as I already have the DVD's and the movie on Blu Ray. I hope they do a better job with the transfer than they did with Samurai Champloo. I bought that slim pack Funimation released and it looks worse than my original DVD box set because some of the colors were over saturated and certain scenes look blurry.

Re: General Anime Discussion

Oh yeah that looks great. I'm glad they are keeping the original aspect ratio of it too, instead of cropping it. I ordered it once I saw it was still 4:3. Man a soundtrack would be awesome, or at least a cool poster or box instead of a snap case. Some of the newer Funimation releases came with cool packaging like Eureka Seven did, so hopefully they will do this one justice. I'm a huge Sunrise fan in general (Bebop, Ronin Warriors, Gundam, etc.) so hopefully since they bought the distribution rights to most of their catalog we will see some other releases in the future.

Again, that whole fiasco is a crock of shit, that woman is sexist as fuck, fuck her. She has tunnel vision only for the female side of this argument, shes ignorant and honestly makes herself look like a fool at the end of the day.

She also insults everyone who does not agree with her, and even some who side with her but have slightly different views. She's talked bad about some of the women writers in the industry, that have created some of the best narratives/titles we've seen in years. She judges people and lumps them into whatever category she sees fit. Shes single minded as hell, and quite frankly I'm beyond sick of hearing about this crap. She is one of the most judgmental, ignorant hypocrites I've ever seen on the internet. And there are a lot of stupid people on the internet.

Metro: Redux on PS4. Working my way through 2033 right now. They remade it using the Metro: Last Light engine, so its looks incredible compared to its older 360/PC counterparts. The lighting and textures are almost as good as Last Light itself. I forgot how atmospheric these games are. Definitely two of the best story driven FPS games out there.
