Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yarg, I saw that "trailer" myself earlier today. Whatever it is, it's the second best Mortal Kombat viral thingy I have ever seen...The first being Cooking with Scorpion, of course.

Heh, I need to get back to MGS soon myself. Though, like I said before, I'm not totally looking forward to playing MGS3. As neat as all the new mechanics implemented look, I only play MGS for the story and stealth aspects, so I'm not totally looking forward to hunting to regain stamina...

King of Misery, your RE RP looks adequate enough I'd say. Good luck with that. And no, no Billy for RE6. ******** Billy. I agree with Bio and Chase in regards to the reboot. After RE5, that's all you can really do at this point aside from prequels.

Okay. After some extensive play time with Super Mario Galaxy 2, I now completely understand why it got the scores it did. Because... I'll put it to you this way, even by Mario standards, this game is a BEAST. Just getting to the third planet, the game already started throwing new s**t at me. And it just keeps coming. The graphics are amazing for the Wii. You wouldn't even notice you weren't playing on an HD console. Parts have been streamlined, and I appreciate more of a return to form as far as the storyline goes. That is to say, I don't miss the storybook time segments from the original. I think saying that Mario Galaxy 2 is to the original Mario Galaxy what Uncharted 2 is to the original Uncharted is a pretty fair analogy to those outside the loop. I'm only on the third world. I've been doing a lot of overtime as of late, so I haven't been able to spend as much time with it as I would like. I also picked up Alan Wake the same night... but I haven't even opened it yet. I'll give you my report on that later.

After reading some of these reviews for Peace Walker, and hearing about the way they streamlined the whole recruiting business among other things, I need this game. and once I get it, it definitely seems as though my DS is going to be collecting some dust for a while. Let's hope so. For now, I'm jealous Bio. Because I don't have it. Yet.

Chase, the whole food gathering to maintain stamina may be intimidating at first glance, but there's really nothing to it. It never caused me any problems really. Because there's s**t to eat all over the place.

And in regards to that MK thing... the ********? lol, okay then. I sure hope that's not a movie. xd Can't say as I like Baraka's new look. Or Reptile's for that matter.

Now I'll address a couple things from where we left off:

I didn't have any trouble finding Red Seeds Profile on eBay... but from what I hear now, everything is in Japanese aside from the dub. That might make it a little hard, because there's a lot of text too. I don't know, maybe you should just get a 360 sometime after it has croaked and is dirt cheap or something. Unlike Dead Rising, which is also good, I'd call it a true oldschool survival horror experience.

In regards to MGO, depending on the game type, the goal isn't always to purely kill everyone. Though yes, usually it is. But you can still be stealthy about it. And what do you mean, my MGS experience? What do you think I am, some MGS4 n00b? MGS is a stealth game, and I play it as such. Sometimes I get into gunfights, and they're fun too, but that's only when I get caught.

Mario Party? Why don't you just get Modnation Racers? Sony's answer to Mario Kart. You know, I've found something a little... funny about this generation. Sony aspires to be like Nintendo, probably more than ever before. With stuff like that, 3D Dot Heroes, and Little Big Planet (what I'm hearing about LBP2 sounds sick, by the way). To their credit, they're a lot bigger into customization, which is cool. You'll hear no complaints about that stuff here, but I'm just surprised that more Sony fans aren't bitching about the "kiddy s**t". And now the d***o controllers, too. I probably just opened up a can of worms with that one. Oh well.

lol, which is it? Bayonetta or Modern Warfare 2 that's the Lady Gaga of videogames? xd Even so, I appreciate you using Lady Gaga as a proper analogy to define stupid s**t that shouldn't be popular. I wholeheartedly agree.

I don't think the eggs in RE4 were inspried by MGS3. Maybe. But I'm not entirely confident.

But in regards of a "best of PS2" list, I'd agree with you on that. RE4... that was a Gamecube game. Built from the ground-up for Gamecube. PS2 version was a port that, aside from the extras they threw in, was inferior in a lot of ways. Not to say that it doesn't deserve to be on the list at all, but yeah. In my book, MGS3 would rate higher as a PS2 game, but what are you gonna do?

Bio,hear me out:Resident Evil doesn't really need redeeming.If you'd stop bagging on 4 and 5 for a bit and pay attention to their backgrounds,it isn't that hard to see they only needed a little tweaking for them to have been a great addition to the series.If 6 is constructed correctly,then it could change quite a bit of view-points.It is entirely possible to create a game that appeals to people who like shooters/action/survival-horror/mystery,and have that all packed in.That way Capcom can bring in new fans,and old RE-fans at the same time.Weather or not that can happen is questionable,but still.

Fine,I guess I can give you that.Wesker shouldn't have turned into a B.O.W. and the B.S.A.A. is lame as hell,so automatically there goes Jill and Chris,and Leon should be a Detective instead of a Secret Service Agent,BUT all I'm saying is,if done right,Re6 can be a great new addition.Sure the main Villian is either dead or a crispy B.O.W. somewhere,and sure two of the most commonly liked Characters are basically in a recreation of the C.I.A.,although,those aren't the only good characters.There's still Billy,Rebecca,Carlos,Barry,Claire,Kevin,and HUNK.

Grr.

The Hawks win, and I'm stuck at home because neither I nor my friends are 21 yet. We could get together and drink by ourselves, but it would feel like were missing out, especially since all the bars I saw on my bus ride home were PACKED! ******** my age...

This isn't just the big game. It's THE game. The game they won the cup; the first time in 49 years! And I'm not old enough to be out there celebrating with everyone else; at least at the bars.

And this is the type of night where it doesn't matter if you can't have a conversation at the bar.

I mean, I wanna make obnoxious noises tonight, because everyone else is! And I mean EVERYONE! People honking their car horns, waving flags, dancing in the streets! Such a great night to be 21, and I'm not 21!

Umm... Is there a curfew? If people are celebrating outside, then go celebrate outside!

I wouldn't say so, but you're entitled.

No it can't. RE is dead.
Las Plagas as a concept, as a parasite that's been buried in the earth for hundreds of years, was a terrible idea. The monsters it created were lame and idiotic, El Gigante especially. The cool thing about RE monster used to be that they were all created from a MANMADE VIRUS that was developed by a giant corporation. RE4 was jam packed full of HORRIBLE storyline ideas, and they left a huge, huge scar on the Resident Evil name. Without a complete reboot, there's no way I can play another RE game that actually makes references to ANY of the events that happened in RE4, Umbrella Chronicles or RE5... Or Degeneration for that matter. To put it simply, for me, Resident Evil ended with Code Veronica. Or Dead Aim, if you count the side games.
