  1. That sounds about right. Even though MS says the xbox one can be played offline, How many developers have made their games to function in this way since MS was telling them it was going to be online from the beginning? It wouldn't surprise me if all the exclusive titles will need online connectivity. Everyone will boot up the system, get the patch, go offline, turn on any exclusive title and be prompted to connect to the internet. I guess we'll see what happens when the system comes out.
  2. From what you're saying, I think you'd probably enjoy this game. I switched the game to easy and I've been able to come across more bullet drops now that I've gotten into an area called "The Woods", I'm just glad I finally have more damn bullets again. I now have 15 bullets in one gun, 5 more in another, 7 in a rifle and 2 arrows! I am ready to kill some people. But on normal, expect even less ammo... I have never played a game like this before where my character has had to literally beat people to death.. and I'm not talking 'punch, punch, kick' and the enemy is killed... no.. no... in this game you have to really pummel them into a corpse. And always, always save a shiv/knife so you get the chance to stab a clicker in the throat to save yourself. If you don't have a shiv and a clicker gets within biting distance you are dead in one hit.
  3. Thats the problem.. I was playing it like MGS. But these damn infected are relentless and there is so little ammo. Imagine playing a resident evil game with only 2 pistols, 20 bullets and you have to make your own shivs/knives that only get one use a piece. So difficult.
  4. I'm surprised MS backpedaled like this. They stuck to their guns on this from that initial twitter leak all the way through E3 emphasizing their horrible position and how it'll all work out in the end or some crap. For them to change their entire position on it now is huge and a bit more unnerving. Now that we know they can switch full system DRM on and off with a simple system patch makes me wonder if they'll ever plan on implementing it again at some point. And MS was boasting about every xbox system having cloud computing to power their games and make every xbox the equivalent of 10 xboxs.. but now that they switched the system to be fully playable offline, isn't that a kick in the developer's asses? Or was a single developer even taking advantage of MS's cloud computing claims? I don't know what MS is thinking, but I still think they are screwed.
  5. The damn jet gets unstuck eventually. I've had it take 3 minutes before. Its really funny seeing someone else stuck in the air.. easy kills. I love the attack choppers, but I try to avoid the jets while in them and focus on taking out the other helis and ground vehicles. I love using guided rockets instead of air radar. It makes the rocket pods home in on vehicles. Its great for harassing jets too. If you can see them barreling in at you, aim the cross hairs dead at them from some distance and unload those rocket pods.. those rockets will fly right at their windshield and force them to maneuver or break off before they can even get a heat seeker lock on.
  6. lmao. I watched it last night. I loved seeing that guy's corpse on the back of the bike. I have had numerous jets stuck in the sky before. Once you know how high up you can go and avoid it, then its ok.. but damn its annoying when it happens.
  7. This game is a frustrating me. I played it for over an hour today.. I think I'm playing it all wrong. I spent 25 minutes clearing a room of clickers, only to get to the last 2 and one of them instant kills me. After the game reloads, I instead play more stealthy, kill only 2 of them and make it to an exit part in under 2 minutes.. I have to play this faster and stealthier.. I am not used to that. I think once I get the hang of this play style better I'll enjoy it more, but f*ck its difficult for me so far. Mostly because of the damn clickers.. they instant kill you in one bite.. f******ck.
  8. Nice. I always liked the logitech joysticks back in the day. I remember owning a decent one, but my computer couldn't play the few games for it worth a crap.
  9. That was a good Jimquisition. Pretty accurate too. I've never seen a Steel Battalion controller in person. But from looking at some videos on youtube, it looks like a good accessory. It must make a huge difference in gameplay compared to using a regular controller.
  10. Kettle Brand Jalapeno Potato Chips are some of the best jalapeno chips available in stores. With that nice large red "Hot" pepper on the front of the package, I was expecting some good heat and these chips delivered. The chips are a nice gold color speckled with green jalapeno seasonings. But the flavor isn't just in those speckles, these chips are imbued with jalapeno flavor. After just a few chips you'll begin to notice the nice jalapeno burn sneaking up on you as an after taste. After about 5-10 chips you'll be approaching the full flavor profile of jalapeno perfection. Kettle Brand jalapeno chips are less salty and have less 'folded over' chips than other competing brands and that is what really sets them apart from the others. Every chip is very consistent with flavor and seasonings. The only downside to these are probably that they are a bit greasy, just like all potato chips. But the packaging does a good job at grabbing excess grease and seasonings and keeping it all stuck to the inside of the bag, mostly at the bottom. This reduces the overall greasiness of the chips to be a bit less than a regular bag of Lays. If you really enjoy the flavor of jalapeno and want every last crumb and bit of grease, after you eat a bag of these, cut open the empty bag and lick the inside for a special treat of unhealthiness. I actually did this once.. too much grease for me, but the flavor was very good. Should you eat these? Yes! These are some of the best jalapeno chips you can buy. Expect some good jalapeno heat. These are hotter than Lay's Sriracha chips.
  11. I know a couple people that take massive doses of pain relievers on a daily basis because of chronic pain caused by numerous spine and bone issues. I really think Medicinal cannabis would be a much better treatment for them.
  12. As far as I know the God of War hand held games had no impact on the console games.. In fact, I think only the Kingdom Hearts series expects everyone to own every hand held system and purchase every game to fully understand the full plot. When I played KH2, 1/4 of the game didn't make any sense. I kept thinking the plot would unfold and explain everything as the game progressed. I've seen other games start a bit confusing, but have all plot lines come together.. but not KH2. After I beat the game, I realized it never explained numerous plot lines.. like who the guy in the beginning was, why is this red head guy chasing us everywhere.. why does he want some part of Sora's possible split personality.. wtf.. I had to read numerous wiki articles and a game walk through of a completely different game to fully understand KH2. So stupid.
  13. I will not play Last of Us while drinking alcohol again.. I am not stealthy in this game when I have a buzz.. >_<

      I am not good drinking and gaming.. I played some BF3 a bit drunk and had my k/d go horribly negative.. however, I did beat CoD: Black ops 2 with a buzz.. in fact I beat the last two strike force missions on my first try with no problems, wtf. I guess AI is easy with a buzz, but humans kicked my ass. XD

      I remember the night i discovered it. I was pretty drunk, and I popped MW2 in and played sub base with the P90 and went 35-2, with as bad as COD games have been not counting BO2, I've had to be drunk to tolerate them XD!!!

  14. Good article. I'd like to see cannabis taken more seriously as medical treatment. Its a shame there are so many uninformed idiots that consider it nothing but an abusive substance. btw, have you seen the side effects for Avastin? wtf... http://www.avastin.com/patient/overview/side-effects Some of the common side effects include: - Nosebleeds - Headache - High blood pressure - Rectal bleeding and thats common side effects, not even the serious ones.. yet this this gets approved while cannabis is shunned.
  15. Yeah, I was surprised to see the trailer said "now in development". It doesn't make sense to promote a product that doesn't even exist yet. lmao.. I didn't even think about that.. but yes, Kingdom Hearts games could now have Star Wars characters.. omg.. Sora better get a light saber keyblade. Oh well... there goes this game for me. I'm not interesting in playing 6 hand held games just to understand what the hells going on in Kingdom Hearts 9.
  16. Xbox is trying to compete with too many competitors.. they should have focused more on their own product and become more appealing to increase their fan base. I love that MS jumped into the video game market all those years ago, because with Sega gone and Nintendo doing their own family friendly thing, Sony has had only Xbox as competition. But with Xbox potentially going their own direction, Sony could potentially only have PC's to compete against in the future. I blame Microsoft's leadership.. first they screwed up with Windows 8, and now they are screwing Xbox. Even steam has been moving away from windows 8 in favor of linux.. Microsoft is setting itself up for failure in terms of console and PC gaming.
  17. I don't understand Microsoft's positives for always online.. they basically described MMO games.. Unless the games are exclusives to Xbox One, all of the games being made will be multi platform and have all the same features.. I don't see why a company would want to put the extra time into an Xbox One game to add more complexity, especially considering many game developers will have their own dedicated servers that handle all their 'shared game states' that have nothing to do with Xbox's cloud servers.. unless MS is going to force game developers to use Xbox One cloud servers for games on their systems, which I highly doubt EA would agree to. http://gizmodo.com/the-good-news-about-xbox-one-that-microsoft-brushed-rig-513494087 As an alleged Xbox One engineer said in this email leaked on Pastebin [all sic] Considering that PS3 and Xbox 360 both already offer DRM digital sales on their existing consoles and neither offer large discount sales like Steam does, I highly doubt Xbox One will have steam like discounted sales. So this argument for always online and DRM to compete with steam makes no damn sense considering they could have already been doing it for years with digital sales.
  18. I was a big fan of Kingdom Hearts and this remaster looks amazing compared to the original game on PS2. I would love to replay this game again on the PS3. Like I said above, I was a big fan of KH.. until KH2 came out. Kingdom Hearts 2 had much better game play compared to KH1, unfortunately, KH2 was actually KH3 because it was a sequel to a gameboy game. Considering the amount of KH games that have come out since KH2 on hand held systems, I can only assume KH3 will actually be Kingdom Hearts 9. Unless KH3 will be a stand alone game that requires no plot knowledge from the previous hand held games, I will have no interest in playing this game. Click here to view the article

  21. All in all I was pleased that the trailer threw me off on how the film would actually go down. It was not what I was expecting in a good way. We saw this movie last weekend. It was awesome.
