Damn that sucks.

Damn that sucks.

Pretty much.

I really like the core gameplay mechanics, the only things I'm worried about are if the narrator will get tedious (I wish he talked just a tad bit less frequently) and how long the game is.

I have not had a problem with the Narrator yet, although I don't mind how much he talks. It's clear that they recorded a SHITLOAD of dialogue for him because literally I have yet to hear him repeat something in about 3 hours of playing (and that includes repetitive behavior that he comments on, like falling off of the edge).

So far it's my most enjoyable experience this year I'd say.

An R2-D2 themed Xbox 360/Kinect bundle was announced at Comic-Con today.

At Comic-Con moments ago, LucasArts announced a Star Wars Kinect 360 bundle to go with Kinect Star Wars video game coming out later this year.

The bundle will contain an R2-D2 themed Xbox 360 console with a 320 GB hard-drive, a C3PO-themed controller, a copy of the game, a white Kinect unit, and the ability to make "unique R2-D2 sounds." All this can be yours for the relatively low price of $499.

I guess that's a way to sell that garbage game.

As a nerd who heads a video game podcast, there was only one thing running in my head when I heard about that bundle...

So I'm looking into getting a desktop for some gaming. Anybody on here dable in that area? I know nothing really about PC gaming, so was wanting some advice. I don't want to get anything too terribly expensive, and I'd be lost on building my own.

I imagine leaffan would be one of the people to ask here. However, you can probably look at newegg's DIY PC Combos section to get an idea of pricing for certain configurations in the meantime.

Read a short article today that Rockstar is pretty interested in trying to use the motionscan technology from LA Noire with GTA 5.

Build it yourself. I'm seriously debating building one for myself.

Post in Electronics forum and include your budget and whether or not you want keyboard/mouse, speakers and monitor or just use your exsisting till later.

I think I'm going to get 2 games between Bastion, From Dust, and Trenched.

I have 1600 points from a gift a long time ago, so it's unfortunate they're all $15.

Dead eyes, overexaggerated expressions and stick figure bodies?

For real though, Rockstar can build upon it and make something better than Noire... now if only they can finally make a game where a member of the staff won't blab about "unfair working conditions."

Just Platinum'd Sly 1.

Fuck the fight with Mz. Ruby, fuck fighting Clockwerk and fuck doing those time trials if I don't have to.

...I would like to hear the director's commentary though.
