You deserve a medal. Or to be sterilised.
No.
It's okay for what it is. I don't really know why I played through it other than it was like $10 on the store and I didn't really want to play FFIX right now.
The stealth experience was okay. I could see elements of things I liked but it was all let down by the fucking stupid controls which were, as usual, horrific, and because of the way some things were designed it was more horrific than usual. The motion comic cutscenes were cool but because Kojima wasn't involved it didn't even have his entertaining weirdness, just a boring copy of it with an even worse tendency to get completely caught up in its own convoluted bullshit.
Anyway, if anyone knows where I could get MGS4, give me a yell. Otherwise I'll just be browsing used racks at EB for the rest of time I guess.

Haven't heard anything about this.
You could probably find the Anniversary Edition quite easily at JB or EB. I still run into copies here in Perth.
...But then again it is Perth.
From someone who is absolutely obsessed about MGS... MGS PO is the first MGS game I absolutely hated, couldn't even bother playing more than 2-3 hours of it because I hated the controls so much. Why couldn't Konami make it like classic MGS1/2 style instead of shoehorning MGS3 controls onto the PSP.. such a fucking waste.
Metal Gear: Ghost Babel is still the best handheld MG game of all time though!

Star Trek on 360/PS3 for $22 posted la bamba
Mighty Ape had MGS4.2 for $24 the other day, I've seen it cheaper though. On OzGameShop the OG is $27, Updated is $29
Hit up JB/EB first though, should be super cheap if stock of the OG is still floating around. I picked it up for $25 from Harvey Norman before I even had a PS3 lol
eBay is a good bet too.
ALSO DID YOU WATCH THE TRAILER ZOMGBBQBACONSCOTCHYUM
PW was cheap on GoD over Xmas, like 600 allards. Or do you want Vita version? Isn't it free on PS+? Or was. I can't remember :/

I think I am the only person on GAF that has never played a Metal Gear game. Friend of mine had Metal Gear back in the day, but he said it was crap so we never played it.
Good thing about stew, you are cooking in water, so just cook the meat long enough and it gets super tender.

oooh Perth! A rarity among these parts.

Uh oh. Outside of Japan, Ubisoft was the only 3rd party publisher I remember from the Nintendo Direct.
reptilescorpio
Member
They were the last decent sized 3rd party publisher really.
At least they can self-publish Platinum games!
Not for a number of years, no. Either I've changed or they've changed, either way we're not a good fit for each other anymore. I'm okay with that.
On a different topic, I'm trying to pump myself up to resume reading again. The pills have removed the background noise from my mind so I can focus more easily. The problem is the book I left behind: Let the Right One In. It's not bad, but it has a real problem where for a while in some conversations there is no way of knowing who is saying what.
As most people will know, often when a conversation starts each quote will end with 'xyz said' and then it can be dropped since you know the alternating sequence. In this book, there is a scene change with different characters, they start talking with no attribution ever and you have to wait for 10 or more lines for one character to say the others name. Then if you want to be sure you've absorbed it, you might have to trace back one speaker to the beginning so you can follow along correctly. It's infuriating.
Aside from that, it was intriguing. I couldn't handle that shit when my ADD was doing it's thing, having to deal with distractions and random thoughts on top of that irritating crap, I just wanted to throw the book against the wall.

I only played MGS 2 and 3 and enjoyed them, but never understood why so many people are addicted to them. I loved them on a technical level, and they had amazing attention to detail, but the tone was so schizophrenic (would go from hardcore realistic to batshit insane at the drop of a hat) that they felt very juvenile at times. I came to the games late though; clearly if you grew up with the games and story then you were hooked for life

In Madrid now after a few days in Lisbon. Ate some great food (including a precursor to Nandos), saw some cool palaces.
Now heading out to a brewpub for tapas and stuff.

I've seen videos of defenders saying the geese love ask the food. One had them running up for more. And it's so delicious!
When it's something I'm passionate about and have plenty of time.
Why would they choose such a terrible beer?
Also I make data from SQL Server available to Excel users all the time. :/
Have you posted the recipe? Not a fan of kangaroo but the right stew recipe should change that. Only ever grilled it really.

Kangaroo cooked well is amazing, had it once at a restaurant in Melb CBD and it was beautiful. Whenever I've done it at home it's been overcooked which ends up tasting like rubber.

As someone with ADHD, that makes shit even fucking worse. Given the havoc it plays with your short-term memory retention, trying to pull that shit off (I guess in the attempt of the appearance of having banter akin to Family Guy or Gilmore Girls) is just messy and confusing :/

I played 2 and enjoyed it. Then tried PW and couldn't get into it. I then felt bad for not having played more of them and got the trilogy thing, played like 2 levels of 3, remembered how infuriating they can be and traded it in. Also, why are there radio sequences that go for like 45 minutes that are so damn boring and just has two pictures on the screen?
And I will definitely be trying out kangastew at some stage.

I'm not really a fan of the aniseed/gamey taste, but I could imagine in a stew it might mask some of those flavours I dislike and end up nicer overall. It's usually been grilled or in a stir fry or whatever when I've had kangaroo.
Walking through a somewhat seedy (not too bad) area of Madrid after a few beers (including a quad) past dodgy looking people, hookers, etc was fun. Least it was nice to have good beer.
Now watching Dragonball Z in Spanish.
Hey! I ... OK yeah I did have six beers today.
Done, done, and God damn it :/
It'll be interesting to see what merch sells at AusPAX.

Question, Aussie brethren.
What is the realistic chance that Sony will discover you're using a U.S PSN account in Australia then subsequently ban you? I've bought PSN cards and everything so I don't want to be smacked with the banhammer.

They haven't done it for ps3 or vita afaik
I don't think ever. I think it'd be weird if they did given their stance on region locking.
Conversely:
Hilarious.
And one more, because fuck it, why not?
Interesting...
reptilescorpio

They want to keep everything like the PS3 in regards to consumer rights so I doubt they will change it, especially since the Vital allows multiple regions.
