I'm loving the definition, examples and your use of the word in that context. Certainly sounds icky.

SmokinDan. What was the best game from the previous generation of video game consoles?

If you answered METROID PRIME, then congratulations, you have won the prize of buying me a packet of Kookas.

I'm a PC gamer so the answer is Deus Ex 1 with Morrowind second.

EDIT: Oh, hi Jintor. This is Dan from Steam.

It's 27 degrees in Adelaide right now.

I guess it's just a preview for what is going to happen in a month or so when we're all dreaming of those 27 degree nights because it's 31 or something equally uncomfortable.


That doesn't make it any easier right now though, it's still too hot and I want it to be cooler right now!

One of the reason I love Canberra, it may be hot as hell during the day in summer, but it's a nice cool 8 degs at the moment!

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
So Nintendo JUST put up on their site that the eShop cards are now available in stores. You know after they were meant to be in stores in June or July.

What's even worse that in August, I reported that they were already in stores. I had even bought one and tested it.

Two months later.

I take it those cards are region locked.

Antiques Roadshow and As Time Goes By.

I have, on occasion, been mildly entertained by Antiques Roadshow. Judge me, I don't mind.
Likewise.

I also watch far too much time team for a healthy man.

Rocksmith. Anyone heard of it? Should I buy it? I'm going to buy it. Anyone know where to buy it?
I heard it be announced and then all information just stopped. It will be bombarino just like DJ Hero 2 and be available for $40 in a few weeks time.

Not if you keep it out of the bad areas. Basically don't let any transfer of yuck happen. Also as long as no yuck is brought out above bowl level then the rest of the bathroom is fine, if a little stinky. Not sure if we have any plumbers on AusGAF but I am sure they could reassure us that the bacteria is attracted to water and as such would all be focused down the toilet, makes sense since they designed it that way. I have no idea. I am tired and it is still a bit too warm.

Most of the Google images I have come across in my local celeb travels have pointed back to that forum. Wish it was updated more often though.

Love As Time Goes By, seen them all years ago now though. My parents watched a lot of UK stuff. The gf loves the Roadshow and all those Escape To The Country shows.

Metroid Prime is overrated. Everyone treats it like the first coming of Jesus. It was great but certainly wasn't the best game on the Cube.
REmake. Dat graphics. So good they had to take the series in a different direction to avoid disappointment

Breaking it out of the garage for tonight to ease the pain. I bet it will rain tonight now.

In that case, wrong. Curse of Monkey Island. Then Max Payne 2. Then Deus Ex tied with System Shock 2.

Not sure if any of these games would be considered as last console generation though, apart from Morrowind and Max Payne 2.

If I was a junior and I saw that coming from a red-lettered person, I'd fair square shit myself.

Bern: Suffering withdrawal symptoms from Forza 4 while at work? Try this. It should ease the pain until you get home. That, or it'll make you jones for it more. I'm also on the lookout for the intro online, not having any luck :/

Sorry guys, Bern is correct about Metroid Prime.

In fact it's so good it's also the best game of this generation thanks to the Wii-make.

I made a comic about Arkham City, well not really.

I wish I was more into Metroid than I am. I didn't grow up on the NES, tried a couple of times to get into Super Metroid but just never felt it (I know, I should be shot for saying that), and the GC ones just left me cold because i didn't know what I was meant to be doing, except that I heard that scanning items was important so I spent half an hour scanning boxes and went "Huh, I guess this isn't for me".

For some reason I loved the crap out of the GBA Metroid, maybe it's because it was my bus ride into work companion and I could concentrate on it better. (Not Zero Mission, the other one).

I do feel bad for never getting into Super Metroid, I really should rectify that.

Republic would be nice. Republic of Google would be better.

Speaking of which, now that I've had my first real exposure to Android...Android is pretty damn good.

*hugs his 4S*

Oh which reminds me, are there any easy guides on jailbreaking a 3GS? I've gonna turn it into a portable C64.

It is interesting, personally I think the iOS, while consistant, is starting to look and feel quite dated.

Your face is overrated.

Prime had a lot of convincing to do and managed to appease the fans who didn't want to see the series shift to 3D. It managed to pull off the core Metroid-style 'find and explore' system as well as instil in the player a sense of isolation and despair. It had some of the best boss fights ever and if you can get over the heavy back-tracking (which is essential to Metroid anyway) the game is superbly well paced.

By 2003 standards, it looked phenomenal and remains highly replayable today.

Seriously though, you can't even escape the heat in the shade when it's humid!

Woo! A new game just hit the top of my "Hardest games I've gotten the Platinum Trophy in" list... Shadow of the Colossus. It bumped ICO down to second spot (its reign was rather short) with pre-patch 3D Dot Game Heroes being a close third.

SotC is mostly pretty easy (playing the game 4 times to max stamina was a tad tedious, but still mostly fun), except for two colossi in the Hard Time Attack mode. #15 took me a lot of tries to finally get him, but #3 is the real stinker. I just finished a 2.5 hour marathon of perfecting the techniques needed to beet him within 5 minutes, finally taking him down with 25 seconds to spare.

The difficulty comes as the time is still set at the time for the PS2 version, but some of the changes in the ports make it MUCH harder to get consistently good strikes on the weak points. Wander's grip works slightly differently, making it really tough and making you need to exploit the colossus to win (through distraction and jumping using the colossus' momentum.

Felt so bloody good when I finally got that last strike in, seeing as I'd already spent a few other sessions on him already using imperfect versions of the techniques.

I'm glad to have finished off the game just in time for Batman too. It sounds like it's going to be a fairly normal difficulty to Platinum, so it'll be a good way to calm down. Anyway, yay again!
