At the end of the day, jumping off a building onto someone’s head can never not be fun.
That and punting people into the sea.
Speaking of things that can never not be fun, ran some cars through some buildings in RF: G today. Great game.
Well it depends on how you play, really. If you stick to the storyline like I do, you don’t have to kill any innocent. As for crimes, well yeah you do commit a lot of them.
GTA IV and Crysis Warhead.
In fact, I shall go submerge myself in more GTA IV funs.
Got Mass Effect working, and it runs well on my computer… right up to the combat. Then it slows to intolerable levels and I ragequit. I need a better pc. :[
Bought Crysis when it was on sale. Have the same problem lots of others do in that the key won’t work…
Rode over to Washington DC this morning, and was playing MarioKart DS with my business partner during much of the way.
Just beat the original Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast. Did some of the side missions, then switched to Phantasy Star Online and went loot shooting for a few hours. It’s surprising how fun the game can be, even offline. But there’s still problems- for instance, being able to miss a shot at point blank range when the monster is more or less sticking into your gun barrel, occasionally deciding to dump ridiculously powerful enemies onto you during sidequests and not scaling to your level, etc.
The Witcher. Bought it on GOG for 4.99$
Is it me or eastern European developers have a way of making the most unpolished games ever?
They are, but they’re very unique. Metro 2033 and the STALKER games just have a very awesome feel about them.
Are you playing the original, or does it have the enhanced edition bug fixes? Makes a huge amount of difference, goes from mostly bugs to basically none.
It’s the Enhanced Director’s Cut version, but in my opinion it’s still very unfinished. The movements aren’t smooth at all and the combats are a bit confusing. Switching from various combat modes to normal mode is also a bit strange. Also, scripted sequences aren’t so great and the voice-acting/lip syncing is very bad. Way too many invisible walls too.
That being said, it’s still a pretty entertaining game, but it’s nowhere near what I expected.
Portal 2 Authoring Tools.
Made the trip back from DC, this time I played MarioKart: Super Circuit for the GBA and a bit of Scrabble on the DS. The AI opponents always seem to make my vocabulary very elementary. I die a little inside every time they beat me using words I’ve never even heard of.
When I finished with that, I tried my hand at some Yu-gi-Oh! Nightmare Trubador. I didn’t do too bad for a first time Yu-gi-Oh player.
Nothing.
Windows Service Pack 2 did not install correctly. Reverting to original settings.
Shutting down.
Restarting.
Shutting down.
Restarting.
Shutting down.
Restarting.
The only way I could break the loop was to BURN FUCKING EVERYTHING.
Fuck you very much MicroFAIL.
Thus I lost everything, including all my games. I had almost completed the Morrowind addons too. My physical games are back in the motherland so I am reliant on using my 1.5kb/s Chinese internet connection to download games. In 5 or 6 weeks I should have downloaded some new games and can play shit again.
Crysis, it’s so much fun to snipe everyone.
Been playing Sonic games lately, one hit lose all rings is bullshit, if you take your time it’s possible to get through the stage untouched, but then you’re more likely to get killed by the 10 minute time limit, besides it’s more fun speeding around as fast as you can.

Spent about 20 minutes avoiding writing a 3000 word essay to try get the Crysis (1) demo running on my new laptop. I was happy when it scanned my PC and automatically selected high on most settings on DX10, but the opening cutscene started… and no. If I set everything to low then the framerate’s not too bad though.
I’m sorry, but…wow, you must suck.
