Or never get one of those 4GB consoles because they are useless.

Does anyone have any suggestions for 4 player couch co-op games? I am sick of always playing either 2K12, NBA Jam, or occasionally Little Big Planet 2 when I have people over.

If you don't mind digital, the arcade copies of X-Men, Scott Pilgrim, TMNT and The Simpsons Arcade Game are a good set of choices.

The Goldeneye remake is dope as well.

Can Renegade Ops be played offline with four people? If so, that's a must.

Also, Payday:The Heist.

Anyone else read the story Klepek has on Giant Bomb about sexual harassment in the fighting game world?

Some of the quotes by this Bakhtanians dude are mind bottling. Also, of course he looks like he does.

I saw a bunch of shit on Twitter this morning but didn't pay it any mind because it was about Capcom fighting games. That is one weird looking dude though. What a clown. I feel bad for recently appointed community manager Brett Elston (formerly of Games Radar) having to clean up this mess.

Also, I feel the need to correct you because this isn't the first time I've seen you type this. It's MIND BOGGLING, not BOTTLING.:motte:

So, my goal is to finish Alan Wake before ME3. I'm 3 chapters in and can't figure out why I quit it before. Great stuff.

We are both playing AW? LOL. What are the chances? Granted, I finished it way back at launch and played through both DLC's. Plus I played through American Nightmare in one day. I love AW.

I started it up again the other day to clean up cheevos. I got two of the hardest ones first. Where you have to go from point A to point B without using any weapons. And the other one where you have to get through a section in 30 minutes.

Now I'm playing through again on Normal to get all the collectibles. Even those dumb thermoses. I'm using a guide of course.

Then I'm hoping to play through on Nightmare. Yikes!

I think AW is my second favorite series to Gears on 360.

So, as one who has never really touched it post where I am...how would you recommend I play through? I have listened to enough of the Giantbombcast to know not to look for the thermoses but should really worry about the manuscripts? Honestly, I want to play through the game as a Stephen King fan, and am willing to forgo cheevskis. Also, I heard that the Signal sucks.

So I need to extract my Mass Effect saves from an older 360. What is the best way to do this? The 360 memory card slot may be too small (not sure, but also have no problems buying one) and I am not sure how a USB memory stick would work. Thoughts?

 

[killgod]

memory card slot is too small for what? did they change the size with the newer model 360's?

 

[Maynard]

i dont think you can do that. remember the whole license transfer thing? unless you are planning a license transfer to the new system

either way, just use a flash drive

The thermoses are definitely worthless but the manuscript pages do fill in some of the story which is pretty cool. Most of the manuscript pages are right in front of your face just for that reason and they normally foreshadow an even that is about to transpire. Some of them are hidden way out of the way for some weird reason. And keep in mind that you can't even find ALL the pages unless you play in Nightmare difficulty, which isn't unlocked until after you beat the game at least once.

I thought that both DLC were quality. I do remember The Signal being even more combat heavy than the main game though. So if you don't like the combat, which does get old after a while because it's the same thing over and over, you might want to avoid it. I'm guessing you got a used copy though that didn't come with the code? I still think it's worth the $7 or whatever it is. Too bad it will COMPLETELY fuck up the amount of points you have.

Good to know about the manuscripts. Fuck me I was wandering around for like 10 minutes in episode 1 trying to find that manuscript page that was missing.

My points are already so fucked up.

Well time for a night full of ME2. Got to get this shit finished up for Tuesday. With the new AC3 cover, I'm getting the urge to finally finish the previous games. Unfortunately I don't have any of them anymore lol. Might do a little online game shopping tonight. Also want to find a copy of Alan Wake.
