Some random thoughts picked up from around teh intarweb:
- Bigger thirxty harddrive. Possibly 100gb?
- Will we see a price and release date for the PS3?
- WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
- Duke Nukem Forever will be playable (Hah!)

Predictions? Guesses? One fifth guessing?

Pac-Man is just eating dots, engery dots and ghosts, over and over and over and over again. It's the gameplay that's fun and keeps them coming back. More power to them I say if they can enjoy it. Shit, I palyed TFC almost daily for a year before I got bored so I can understand it.

Not my idea of fun.

Oooh, thanks for the list.  That Wii Super Monkeybone sounds great.  And the more I hear about Wii games, the more I think it will be the perfect console for non-gamers.  Kids, my wife, parents.  Anyone that looks at a controller with a huh? will probablly have better luck with the Wii controller once they start playing *


*If everything that's been said is close to true.

On the PC I'm interested in Bioshock, CGM had a preview that went into the story a little, and it remnded me of Fallout under water.  I'm a sucker for post-apocolyptal.  The screenshots for the next UT look cool, lots of urban type stuff, so I'd like to hear more about that.

Is there a site you can go to, to keep abreast of the situations as they develop? Hourly updates on news, whats hot and not, illicit camcorded freshly-ripped videos of behind-the-schenes footage?

Gamespot is pretty good about this.  Last year they updated every 5 minutes with news, screenshots and videos.  I downloaded about 2 gig of press conferences and videos from them last year.

Know what I'm still playing? Battlefield 2 and the expansion. I love it. It's replaced Counter-Strike for me in every way. I'm the Anti-Tank and Medic master.

Upcoming games I can't wait for? NWN2. Obsidan and I are in love, I hope.

That wasn't a troll. Gears of War looks like it might be interesting, but I really don't see the point in another rehash of UT. Seriously, what are you going to do? Throw in some more vehicles? Get a more obnoxious announcer? It will never be a spectator sport. Ever. Stop trying.

In other words, unless you're planning on out-Battlefield 2ing Battlefield 2, I'm genuinely not interested.

Yeah, I mean, most games can be devolved into repitious behavior.  Madden is just endless passing and running.  You play on identical green football fields every time.  Max Payne is run into a room, kill everyone inside, over and over.  Oblivion is kill everyone in a cave, kill everyone in the next cave.  Counterstrike is the same running and shooting over and over.

I only run each dungeon once a week, rotating between MC, BWL, ZG, and AQ20, and then I also run the non-raid dungeons doing quests I've never finished.  There are like 7 dungeons I play regularly.  The only one I have completely finished is MC.  There are still bosses in the other three I haven't defeated.

Huh, guess you're not the hardcore raider you made yourself out to be. You haven't downed all the bosses in ZG or AQ20 yet? Hell seems like I've passed you then, as I have downed every boss in MC, ZG, AQ20, all but Nef in BWL (attempts tonight) and even downed Skeram in AQ40.

Squeaky,

Why the hate?  From what I understand, you played the game for a decent amount of time, then got bored of it.  So what if other people didn't get bored?  I've never played a game more than a couple months, and I've played a lot of games that other people obsess over.

UT2k7, though....really, what's the point?

Ehh, I played the hell out of the last two UT (PC) games, so maybe I'm one of the few that thinks there's a point.  Actually I'm not the only one, there were three or four of us on PC that played for a while.

I don't remember calling myself a hardcore raider... I've jokingly called myself a catasser...  There are a couple of reasons I'm not as far as I could be.  The first is that I bought a second copy of the game and started over about 10 months ago because I wanted to play with Jen.  The other is that my original raiding guild was a bunch of fuck heads and the guild disintegrated about 6 months ago just as we were starting BWL.  I found another guild with people I liked much better that was just beginning MC so I kind of "started over" a bit.  The only boss we haven't killed in ZG is Jin'do... and in AQ20 we just haven't done the final boss for one reason or another.  We're mainly focusing on BWL still.

WoW is too much like work after a short amount of time for it to remain fun for any length of time. Unless you're into that sort of game...which a lot of people are. I'm just not one of them. Thank God.

I find I don't like the UT gameplay compared to other FPS games...it's too much of the twitch and react gameplay. More like playing Quake on speed and less like playing Action Quake on ever iteration. That being said, I'll be buying the next version just to see if the engine is half as cool as it looks AND I did spend probably 30 - 50 hours with the last overall. That's money well spent in my opinion, even if it's not my favorite ever.

The other is that my original raiding guild was a bunch of fuck heads and the guild disintegrated about 6 months ago just as we were starting BWL.

Funny you should mention that, this sort of thing happened recently to my old guild. I got out literally just days before shit hit the fan. It also happened to another guild that I know people in aswell. Seems like Vael is the guild killer. I guess as long as your guild is successful people are willing to put up with a whole lot of shit, but once the guild hits a wall (Vael definitely seems to be that wall) all those problems and annoyances really start to show themselves.

If by no, you mean Hell Fucking Yes, then you're right on the money. Unless Cliff droning on and on about the Cyberathlete Professional League and games becoming spectator sports and how the presentation of UT2kwhatever was hoping to move in that direction counts as a no...

Let's not attempt to have a discussion, by any means! If you don't like, or question, something a PC sacred cow is involved with - it must be squashed immediately!

I ask again, what are you planning with UT2k7 that'll make it worth buying? More vehicles? A new announcer? More spectator modes? How'd that melee combat work for ya from the console version? Are we going to see anything new or more of the same? I mean new as in beyond bumpier graphics and new maps to run around in doing the same thing we did last year, that is.

Videos and info will trickle out from E3 over the next few days.  I'm not going to say anything specific because explaining our new game to a Disney loving troll isn't worth my job in case I say the wrong thing.

Sarcasm aside, me too. It comes to the point where you have to realize that you're not going to get anything revolutionary in the FPS gaming genre. It's all still really just Doom with different rules, different weapons, and shinier features. Once you get over that you can, you know, just enjoy it.

I'm really looking forward to Lego Star Wars II, Super Monkey Ball Adventure and anything/everything Wii-related.  And New Super Mario Bros. for the DS.


And the more I hear about Wii games, the more I think it will be the perfect console for non-gamers.


That is really Nintendo's goal.  A lot of their newer "non-games" like Nintendogs and Brain Age and a lot of the Wii stuff was developed by a team they have working in-house to come up with ways to get people who aren't currently gamers into the fold.  They sold over 2 million copies of Brain Age mostly to people WAY outside of the normal gaming demographic, so it seems to be working so far.

You can't lump Jeet with me even though he is now trying to jump on the troll bandwagon (about 3 years too late, I might add!)

For one thing, Jeet's troll persona will always be overshadowed by his Ultimate Fanboy tendencies.  A proper troll would never say anything good about post-Beauty and the Beast, pre-Pixar Disney because even a troll has limitations on how ridiculous his posts can be.
