The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

2K Sports pulls a Jordan on March 6, combining its stellar basketball game with its so-so baseball franchise in the Xbox 360 exclusive $69.99 MLB 2K12/NBA 2K12 Combo Pack.

That's weird. I guess because they know no one will buy it on PS3 with The Show as the much better baseball option.

First, the Psychonauts 2 funding talk a couple of days ago, and now Double Fine is asking for funding ($400k to be exact) to make a point-and-click adventure game and documentary showing the development process. They've already raised $180k in one day.

I have to say that I'm intrigued, and I'm interested to see the documentary they're making alongside the game as well.

53 hours and 20 minutes later and my "Canon" Shepard run for ME2 is complete.

All story, N7, loyalty and sidequests are done except for one but fuck Ish.

Two-Pronged bastard can get his own packages.

Now to wait for ME3 and future Reaper asskicking.

I started my Renegade run last week, and I'm doing my best to avoid the mistake I made on my first playthrough where I did Zaeed's loyalty mission before I had the enough morality points.

Why would he?

Why would he?

if you check the other forums (sports) he has closed down every random thoughts thread.:wildthing:

Well, sonuvabitch.

I still have to do a Renegade and FailShep run as well.

FailShep should be quick as you don't do any of the Loyalty Missions and you can haul ass through the "Omega 5 Relay" as soon as you get the IFF.

No need to get Kasumi or Zaeed either unless you feel like...

 

Leaving Zaeed to die at the Blue Suns base

No Overlord or Hammerhead Missions either.

I won't have time to do an 'Avoid all Paragon/Renegade conversation points' run (I heard the dialogue gets interesting if you don't press the Red or Blue Easy Button) so FailShep will be the guinea pig.

Double Fine has already raised over $620k, and there is still another month for people to donate. With this success, I have to wonder if this is something that other developers are going to use.

I have no reason to play ME2 anymore, sadly. I have saves with all 3 possibilities (Renegade, Paragon, FailShep), and I've 100%ed the game. I do want to play through the PS3 copy at some point, just to get some trophies.

I guess I could conceivably use my ME1 save that kills Wrex (for whatever reason the Renegade I uploaded -- my level 60 one -- didn't kill Wrex in that save file. I can't even remember it). I'm very curious how Wrex alive/dead will effect ME3.

I've only played through as a paragon, but what is FailShep? This also again reminds me that I need to get my saves back
