No, it's the high-pitched crying that gets to you.

I'm generally pretty lenient as far as this thread is concerned...

But stopping your current line of conversation NOW would be good.

Red Steel, Trauma Center, and Rayman. I can't say I've played any of them but those are the next on my list to buy. I only have Zelda right now. Cod3 looks fun but no multiplayer makes me not want it.

My Website Science teacher gave me one of the schools licenses (and disks) for this:



Contains Dreamweaver 8, Flash Professional 8, Fireworks 8, Contribute 3, and Flashpaper 2.

$1000 of software, and I got it legally for free

Grr... the best I ever got for free was Dreamweaver 4 and Fireworks 4 (when they were latest revision, of course). Kids these days don't know what hardship was like!

Wow, the dinosaur ages

So I heard Superman REALLY sucked, and I had not opened it yet, so I decided to return it and take advantage of the buy two get one free sale.



The first two are really good, but Tomb Raider PISSES me off and is getting returned today. I think I am going to get Prey instead, but not sure yet.

Red Steel is great, IMO, but it had been given some bad reviews, but I disagree with it. Call of Duty is also really fun, but it lacks multiplayer from what I know. These are the only two that I have tried.

I also am getting Madden NFL 07 for the Wii, since I have some money available after selling some games and my PS2.

[TiE23]

I ordered this decal along with two matching controller sets for about $33.

Also, as a good thing, Seattle's school children are entering their second snow day in a row. And it's supposed to snow again later today.

[BongoBob]

That looks nifty TiE. Do they have that design in Xbox 1 form?

Also, I feel honored to be your quotable

[coupes.]

So I finally have my Wii !

Here's what I got with it :

The Legend of Zelda: Twiligt Princess
Red Steel
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

Wii remote
Nunchuck attachment

[BongoBob]

Congrats coupes! Glad to hear you finally have your Wii

So how do you like it?

[Darth Groovy]

So I took back Tomb Raider Legend...

Got this one instead.



It was only like $2 difference. I guess I am just a action/FPS guy afterall.

I had no patience for Tomb Raider Legend. Timing jumps and balancing on ledges was just not very fun to me...

Prey is meh, but it holds my interest, and at least I got an achievement out of it already... Graphics wise, it looks very similar to Doom 3. It also has multiplayer options.

[jebbers]

i got very sick last night. and had periodical puking sessions in the night. still feeling sick

[Jeff]

Awesome coupes!

You'll have to tell me how trauma center is, I'm interested in that game.

It's great ! I went to my Bro's when I got it and we had fun playing Wii sports all afternoon. When I came back home I popped Zelda in and racked 4 hours of play. I'm really satisfied with my purchase thus far. My only problem is'n reealy Wii related as I can't seem to properly configure my router to work with my connection, so no WiFi...

Congrats, coupes.! Let us know what else you think of the other games, too.

[BongoBob]

Coupes, play trauma center so you can tell me what you think of it

[BongoBob]

a bag of swedish fish.

any one know how to tell a real swedish fish from knock offs?

spoiler:

hold the head of the fish in one hand and the tail in the other. stretch the fish and if it turns a white and cracks, then its a genuine swedish fish.

[Samuel Dravis]

Some books too:
by Piers Anthony - The Xanth series is pretty good. You never know when he uses a figure of speech if it is meant or is really just a way of writing...
Cruel Lye
Dragon on a Pedestal
Golem in the Gears
Ghost

Queen of Angels - Greg Bear
In the Ocean of Night - Gregory Benford
Jupiter Project - Gregory Benford
The Gods Laughed - Poul Anderson
The Cat Who Walks Through Walls - Heinlein
The Tower and the Hive - Anne McCaffrey

Didn't know there was such a huge market for counterfeit Swedish Fish.

[Darth Groovy]

I don't ACTUALLY own this YET but...



Playing IS believeing! I realize I am a little late to the party on this one, but I only got my 360 a little over a month ago, and it was already released before that. NHL 07 on the 360 is the ****! The skill stick was more fun than I thought it would be, and not as hard to get the hang on as I originally thought it would be. I checked this one out on lone from work, (ya we get to check out used games...) and I HAVE to own this one!

Swampie Hockey fans owning a 360, if you have not played this one yet, try and rent it if you can. Using your left thumbstick to pull off slapshots, poke checks and dekes...It's a blast!

[jon_hill987]

It is really fun slashing zombies with the stylus.



I know a lot of people hate this film, but it does do what it says on the tin.



I have seen less blood in Schwarzenegger films. And I don't mean the comedies.

Funny, I just got my license yesterday... I don't have much use for it though. S'why I waited so long.

<-- is 19

[Anthony]

I've already been driving a lot. I'm used to it already :P

Mitch Hedberg's Strategic Grill Locations and Mitch All Together.

i have been looking for years to find them. Best Buy FTW!

[BongoBob]

You now own gods cds

[DarthAve]

I can't wait to unwrap this underneath the christmas tree! 23 more days....

[coupes.]

Sorry for no answering earlier, I was... busy <_<

To answer the question about Trauma Center, I'd say it's really hard to judge how good it is because I have no other reference. This game is so different from "traditionnal games" that I'd go as far as say it's in his own category. That said, so far I've enjoyed the game although the presentation leaves a lot to be desired. Basically The game progeses through text based episodes in which the somewhat cheesy story unfolds. Most episodes require that you perform an operation , but some just have you read throug pages of text.

The actual gameplay is rather fun and easy to pick up though. You select your tools with the analog joystic by pointing in one of the 8 directions and use them with the remote. You'll have to perform different basic tasks that you'll come to know by heart, but the games does get harder as some operations can turn ugly in an instant. In that case you'll have to react quickly to avoid loosing your patient. Generally though, if you follow this directives properly and don't make mistakes, you'll have no problem in succesfully completing your operations. I haven't played the DS version, so this is all new to me and it is quite refreshing from the games I'm used to play.

As For Red Steel and Monkey Ball, I haven't unwrapped them yet and I'm not sure I will either. I'll probably keept them sealed until Mario, Metroid or Brawl come out and try to trade them in.

Probably a good plan

[Commander Obi-Wan]

Yes, good plan.

Red Steel isn't as good as I was when I first played it. Once you get finish more levels and get farther into the game, it feels a lot different compared to other FPSs. On one level, it feels like your playing some Saw video game.

The game is really buggy and the swordplay is cheesy.

[Mex]

Should of had this a long, long time ago, but lack of funds unfortunately stops me from owning all the Beatles albums.
