HAHAHA indeed. Insane amounts of money. How about the costs of Superbowl advertising? There is alot of money where it shouldnt be... Why expect anything less? It boils down to shit that sucks getting way more money than it should... and a subsequent lack of quality product, all over the board.

Same here, you gotta live with someone to make ends meet.

Yea thats a rip off. You guys have a much higher value on your buck. Over here... where the economy sucks ass... that kind of work generally pays alot. Say min wage is $10 an hour. Cali and NY etc. That kind of job will likely earn over $15 an hour. And they have long hours. When Min was just over $7 I was making over $9 and I was basically an apprentice. Specialists, and working for a good company should easily make somewhere around $16 to $25 an hour considering where you are. Problem is, over here, the market is down so new businesses and dwellings are not being built as much. Folks with that skill set are hurting as there isnt much work. Yea getting a "break" falls under determination too. You often have to trudge through the bullshit until there is an availability. Fucked up thing is alot of the jobs available over here are marketing. In India, Telemarketing is the big thing. They all think its awesome. I watched some show where a guy lost his job so they sent him to india to learn of the situations of how he lost his job. While talking to them, one said that India has more people of superior ability. What a dumb ass. That is never the case. It is bottom line bang for your buck. These people do the same job... take it more seriously cause their slums make our worst ghettoes look like Disney Land no lie... and so they work for nothing cause to them it pays great! I seen their slums, it looks like Louisiana after the Hurricane... but with people living in the rubble. The powers that be try to consolidate their shit to make the most money. Outsourcing... I hate when I all Microsoft about my acct and Im speaking to someone in India. I have no gripe with them but this is an American based company and I want to speak to someone who doesnt ask what I just said "Im sorry I dont understand" Point is, opportunity is hard to find. Companies are throttling the life out of everything. The big wigs have +50,000$ cars, +500,000$ homes, etc etc and the guy at the bottom scrapes by to live. The world is very similar to how it has always been. Kings and Pharos with slaves or peasants that cannot do better and make the man even more money. Im not saying communism is the answer. I think someone with skills should make the money their due... but with the way the world is... opportunities are slim. The powers that be make too much money if you ask me. Whoever owns Mc Donalds is sitting pretty... and thats a damn shame. Fuck Mc Donalds, fuck those who eat Mc Donalds, Fuck everything that sucks ass. Fuck Arbies, Fuck EA, Fuck the cable and internet companies, Fuck the power bill, Fuck the phone bill, Fuck the respective owners of telemarketing firms, Fuck politicians, Fuck whoever is responsible for the gas prices, Fuck them all. ALL THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT MAKES ME ANGRY! Our world is embarrassing.

I havent picked up shank but I will eventually. Hard Corpse looks fun, but again, these games will get boring. The games that held my interest the most were games with solid gameplay and lots of content. MMORPG's like Asherons Call and WoW did the job... but I spoke with a friend last night. He said he would like to play a game with his buddies and does not need the MM part of ORPG's. We were talking about Two Worlds II. Although the first one was pretty bad, it did have its merits. Im sick of the game scene. Companies are canned all the time and the same old shit keeps coming out. Alot of us are busy, jobs/ family/ etc. We dont have the time to grind to get to the next level or awesome item. Making a game easy to accomplish something and a game as in depth as Asherons Call and WoW are generally exclusive. When it comes to replay value, only a select few games held me. Darius Gaiden & Guardian Heroes were amazing. Both had multiple paths to choose so every time you played you had some sense of difference. DG was basically a great shooter and playing over and over was a blast. GH had multiple paths to get new characters and explore possible endings. It also had RPG elements mixed with an odd platform playstyle. RE5's mercenaries is actually more fun that the actual game. Im currently trying to top my high score on the first level and its challenging. Speaking of the state of games... look at Front Mission!!! They changed the strategy element and swapped it for 3rd person action shooter! How are you gonna change Chess into Hungry Hungry Hippos. Im just saying... There is already a mech game and its been out forever. Armored Core has 10 titles for consoles before it even hit the next gen systems. I liked Front Mission games for the strategy. Fucking assholes at the top changed the whole thing to get more customers and make more money... but they are sacrificing those like me who wanted STRATEGY!!! Look at EA. Years back they started buying up gaming companies like mad but a year or so later... started folding a majority of said companies. They werent making enough for EA's liking I suppose. There needs to be some new companies that make games that just arent getting made. Games that are focused on Hardcore gamers. I have a ton of games for the 360 and yet only a handful are amazing. Sure what I say is based on opinion... But I can say with conviction, that my ideals are superior. Superior at the very least to those who value quality. There are a great many games I do not like and its primarily a matter of sloppy ideas thrown together quickly to hammer out a game to rush to press so the powers that be can make a profit. There motivation is PROFIT! My motivation has always been quality, perfection. In business practice sense, I am rare. I got in arguments with a boss I had once, allow me to highlight this so you can see the difference clearly. I worked many years for Subway sandwiches. I can still to this day make a sandwich of superior quality. Every action I preformed on the sub had a purpose. Placement of meat, cheese, vegetables, seasonings/condiments. My bread was perfectly baked, even my cookies were the best. I learned the baking form my old boss. Absolute perfection I assure you. The boss in question that didnt see it my way would jam out subs as quickly as she could. Meatballs for instance were not evenly placed, cheese was thrown haphazardly on. Id fix her mistake when she passed it to me and she would sigh. She said "it doesnt matter how it looks"... BULLSHIT!!! Every bite, every aspect of my subs were superior. She would say it doesnt matter cause there already here and they are somewhat committed to it already so who cares. She did not realize that even though I took alittle more time to perfect something, I worked so fast that it did not hinder the flow of the line. I can still make sandwiches faster than the cashier can ring them up. So what is the problem??? All that matter in most cases in business is the bottom line. They disregard quality most often... I say, if my sandwiches are superior, they will remember. At least the ones who actually appreciate it. And those costumers do indeed come back. No lie... I had customers (IN MANY OF MY PROFESSIONS) ask for me specifically. I once had a lady who brought back a small cheesecake when I helped her when I worked at ACE Hardware. As for subway... I had people who asked for me to make their sandwiches. That made me feel good. Anyway, my subs were amazing. Ask Solidious! He remembers my pics of the mountain of Nachos when I got FFXIII! Who here remembers my recipe for Oatmeal Cookies! Quality is my key concern. If the product and service is superior, the money will come in. That is my bottom line. As for the rest of the world... look at Burger King. They had Whoppers for 99 cents. It now costs 2.50. The way the world works is if it sells, raise the price. Look at gas, price raised. Why... bottom line, cause we need it. I hate fastfood. Really. I turn 32 in a few weeks. I have had more fast food "meals" than alot of you. Im sick of it. Now Id rather go to Fuddruckers and pay 7.00 for a 1 lb burger of epic proportions than pay 2 bucks on a couple of Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers at Wendys. I like, I respect, I need quality. I fucking hate half assed anything. And obviously games are on that list. I do not want to play the game equivalent of a Jr. Bacon Cheese... I want that Fuddruckers burger! Unfortunately for games... the price isnt the key to know if its quality like food. Games are generally the same price. Within $10 difference new. Im fucking sick of the powers that be jamming out BULLSHIT games... just like my old boss. Where are the game making equivalents to me? There are so few... Im willing to bet they are forced to work on some bullshit game as the opportunity to do otherwise is slim. Its just like when I had to work at 7-11 or Burgerking. I needed money so I worked there... Its a fucking shame when an individual is in a situation where they cannot be their best. It stands to reason they are out there but are stuck. I need to make games. Oooor at the very least open up a restaurant...

I played RE4 to death. Great game. My sister beat it 3 times. 5 is great. They made it easy as you can grind for ammo but the game still gets it done. Im actually playing it right now, not a challenge though... as I have earned those weapons... Mercenaries is the most gratifying though.

I used to think it was too many games. Perhaps I am spoiled from when I first got the 360. Buying up a title every week or so. More and more new games. Now I played everything and shit is just dull. RE5 is great... yet I tire of it after an hour. DQ is great but now im practically sick of it. When I played Asherons Call, I had 6 weeks of playtime easily. Sounds like Wow huh. But those two games have tons of contend and things to do. These console games are limited on content and the rinse and repeat scenario happens much quicker. I try to chip away at GTA IV but tire of that too. I dont know, I can only take so much. I need something stellar to appease me.

I played out RTS' The one game I seem to always want to play is some Old School Masters of Orion 2... But I dont have that with me. Yea I have somewhere around 400 hrs in DQ and over 48 in Castlevania HD

I dont know about all that now... RTS' gets rather boring too, no matter how badass

Bored as ever, I scan through my titles and am dismayed. So many games bought up but even as good as they are, I cannot find the will to play them. Why do I get so bored! I am not the only one, a great many of you feel the same. But regardless of my discontent, I fire the console up. Lately I've been trying to get back into RE5. I have yet to finish the achievements on the DLC and there are 5 more weapons left that need infinite ammo. And between the times I get bored with that (often) I fire up Puzzle Quest 2. I quickly tire of everything already played. So many titles but nothing to play. Will there be any games that can hold my attention! Castlevania HD: now boring, Dragon Quest IX: now boring, Lost Odyssey/ Star Ocean/ etc etc... I NEED A GAME THAT WILL HOLD FAST!

I'm picky too. Stand up is generally crap. I liked this guys material and delivery. He has intelligent comedy. I hate stupid humor... As for Emsley, watch The Incredibles as Veristic suggests. Wall-E is ok but nothing amazing.

Well you definitely didnt watch it

Yea I hear RE is full of ridiculousness. Inky, fuck Chapelle. His shit is played out. Watch John Pinette: I'm Starvin' Its a good standup. Not many good ones on netflix, but this guys great

Dog? Only small character I remember is Serve-bot Edit: That new trailer IS gay... (mostly)

Serious Sam... I have the HD version on 360. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I hate when a large chunk of Achievements/Trophies are multiplayer. Sorry, never played but it looks interesting. Id say it has little replay value though.

How so, the first one sucked ass. I never watched the first... but I had to cut the 2nd one off. It was utter shit. Watched a few recently. Seems as if Inky is going through Netflix as alot of the movies he mentions is new stuff released by Netflix streamable. Event Horizon; amazing how far CG has come in 13 years SuperNova; Lame as I remember, had the gay kid from "My so called life" (I had to IMBD that) Robin Tunney had some nice tits Star Trek; Oh my gawd... This directors cut was filled with scenes that shoulda been cut... this movie is filled with retardedness. I love Star Trek TNG and anything since then. I can handle the ST movies but this first one is utter shit. Its mostly filled with shit that just doesnt make sense. From scene to scene nothing makes sense... right from the start. "Mr Spock, Its how we all feel" The writing and directing are beyond trash. Star Trek: Remake; Now this move was filled with sillyness but it was good enough to watch. The visual effects are top notch and the director did his job well. Syler made a good Spock. Bones Scotty and Spock were far better than Kirk. I recommend this move, its not bad

I remember there was a drunk old dude that roomed with guys my age. He too got his ass beat and I swore if I ever saw any of them again Id pulverize them. I didnt though, I saw one of them years later riding to the convenient store on a bicycle and I choose not to leap. The best thing one can do is just live. Truly, the only thing we can control is if we are good or evil.

Sounds like crying babies was the least of your problems. You could have played with them... that'd shut em up.

Inky, you should have watched the rest... the ridiculousness kept on stacking. Example, a goon from the first movie was just a head in a tank of water with tubes jutting out his neck. Kept alive so he could witness his brother avenging him.

I remember playing Duke Nukem at a PC shop in the mall on my break. I was 17 I think. I played the hell out of it. Its on the Microsoft arcade marketplace and I gave the demo a shot... I did buy Doom I&II on the markeplace but duke nukem didnt make my cut. The game is olded. Anyone who remembers the game is older... They should jut make it AO and throw the OG's a bone.

Whos Duke Nukem? He hasnt been in a game since... what Millennia is it?

The Bodyguard 1&2: Thailand movies with that square faced guy from Ong Bok; Funny action movies in their own right... but alot of the humor was lame. Crank 2: This movie sucks... and is entertaining at the same time.

Yep. Even severely bored I cant find the will to fire some of them up.

Hotter than Texas Brokeback??? I sang your lyrics in my mind like country music. Why? Because it was funnier.

Right? We both buy Puzzle Quest 2 and never play it...
