You can't send it to Microsoft anymore? That sucks. I'm on my second 360 at the moment.

I think I'm gonna buy a PS3 soon. Exciting sh*t yo.

Nah I bought it used so the warranty is long gone. The thing lasted about 16 months though.
I just bought Darksiders and a new controller and when I was trying them out, *beep* and screen freezes. Couple more of those and I get RROD. Could have something to do with the update it downloaded too.


Ooh I know, I'll buy some Alan Wake bundle if there is one. It's supposed to hit in 2 weeks.

My first 360 had a pretty good run. 2 or 3 years, I think. It stopped working when I first played Rock Band. Coincidentally that's pretty much the only game I still play on that system nowadays.

The PS3 is the only system anyone should ever buy. 360 is full of random errors and bugs and freezes and crashes. The Wii doesn't have any games for it, it just has a mountain of shovelware and 'family-friendly' crap. PS3 is the only way to go.

greenraven brings us the cold hard facts once again. Actually the PC is the only way to go. But I think all consoles are pretty great in their own way. Group hug, everyone.

Well obviously the PC is the way to go, but we're talking just about consoles here.

And I beg to differ about 360 having the best games. The PS3 has way more exclusive franchises then 360 ever will.

Metal Gear. Killzone. Resistance. Heavy Rain. LittleBigPlanet. MAG. Demon Souls. Uncharted. Valkyria Chronicles. PixelJunk. God of War. Wipeout.

360 has like what? Halo? And it's not even that good of a game. Halo is a sad overrated hack that doesn't deserve all the hype and attention it gets. :(

as cool as it is to not follow the mainstream, halo is a badass fps and one of the best online multiplayer experiences to be had. "not even that good"- you trollin'.

also seconding leroy's superior library stance, but that's a matter of opinion. halo being excellent is a fact.

ps3 does have that collosus/ico sequel though, so it's almost worth it.

I don't want to make a negative generalization about people who play Halo, so I won't. But the mass majority of players that defend Halo to death have never played any other shooters before (or not many). As someone who has played a crapload of FPS' during his lifetime I say that Halo is overhyped, overrated, and undeserving of the overall attention that it's getting.

Ok, fine, it's not THE WORST game ever made. But I just don't understand why so many people are drooling over it when there's far better games out there to play.

"But Halo Reach is going to have jetpacks, pure pwnage!" Pffft, so what? Tribes has had jetpacks for over a decade now. "But in Halo Reach the sniper can turn invisible, pure pwnage!" Again, so what? The sniper in Killzone has been invisible for a while now. I honestly don't see anything new or innovative being offered by Halo, all it's doing is rehashing things that have been done before in other games and packaging it starving fanboys who just don't know any better.

If Halo was pixel art it'd be a copy/pasted frankenstein monstrosity of a pokemon.

Halo annoys me, very much so. [/moody bitching]

I dunno what you call 'many' but I've played several dozen shooters, and Halo is a pretty good one. Not -the best- IMO, and I'm sure there's a lot of people who prefer games like TF2, battlefield and borderlands. But Halo is a good franchise, and has better maintenance then the UT series, sadly.

You know what -is- retarded though? THIS

I got the game recently for €30, retail. Still want the Awesome Edition though, but it feels silly to buy games twice.

Then again it wouldn't be the first double I have...

Is it any good? Is it more like Sands of Time instead of the 2008 reboot?

Anyway Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2 have my attention for a while now.

Oops and only 2 weeks left of my military service.

Seriously, Finland is so f**king old-fashioned it makes me sick. Then again many countries are still like this and worse. I got it easy.
Over 80% of Finnish males serve in the military. Often there is great pressure from family members to do armed instead of civilian service. Finnish World War Two veterans are highly respected in Finland, and not undertaking military service may be considered an offence towards veterans in the family. There has also been a prevailing social assumption that masculinity can only be proved by army service, and, consequently, not doing so can lead to the stigmatisation of non-conscripts as not "real men". This has recently started waning as being considered an old-fashioned perspective, but it still holds in some more traditional occupations such as teaching.[citation needed] Additionally, the youth are often frightened that employers do not hire men who have performed civilian service.

It's more like warrior within. Actually, it's sort of halfway in between SoT and WW. Which is cool because that's where it's supposed to go, storywise. For me, the best game is still WW, but this one is pretty close, beats that weirdass cartoon game by miles. Is it perfect? No. Is it good and fun? Yes.  

Bad things about the game:
-it's really easy. There's no hard mode, just normal and easy. So I invented 'Snader' mode. Which basically consists of not upgrading anything. (from gathered XP you can buy upgrades to about 200% attack, 200% health, and some special moves etc)
-they dropped the water = health metaphor, I really loved how that was implemented, worked well with the desert theme.
-no dual wield and weapon pickups

Good things about the game:
-made the parkour a bit faster and smoother, but still requiring skill and timing (so no 1-button-press-for-parkour-mode like in AC1)
-graphics. Very nice.
-water slowmotion. Adds an extra layer to the platforming.
-familiar atmosphere, familiar voice, familiar gameplay

Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE) is the main one--it allows for distant land and shaders (bloom, hdr, distance blur). just be sure to google around for instructions, since it's pretty complex. Also:
There are lots of texture replacers for the landscape and architecture, but I've yet to find one that I like. They all take major liberties with the style rather than just making close-as-possible hi-res duplicates. Bah. Morrowind Visual Pack is the best I've found, but I still uninstalled it in favor of the lo-res default textures.

EDIT: derp, fixed an incorrect link for the official mods

The History of Wedding Dress

   When did wedding dress firstly appear? and Who invented it ?? It makes us very curious and very intersted,and there are all kinds of wedding dresses,cocktail dress,flowergirl  dress,prom  dress,bridemaid dress.Now i will tell you someting about the history of wedding dress.

   The first document recorded the wedding dress was in 1499, It was made for Louis XII and Anne of Brittany's wedding, The traditionnal wedding dress is white,it could date back to 1840 the Queen Victoria ' wedding ,Her official photo of this white wedding dress had been published broadly.So after this time ,so many females wanted to dress white wedding dress when they got marrige. The tailing of the wedding dress sometimes were the symbol of rich people,1980 at Prince DIana's wedding ceremony she weared a 480 feet wedding dress ,It's was so splendid and elegant!

    Before Victoria's time ,wedding dress could have all kinds of colors except red and black,because black was associated with funeral ,red was assciated with prostitutes .The white wedding dress was stand for pure heart ,If a woman divorces with her husband she cannot wear white wedding dress again ,sometimes she will wear pink one.
