They were on, what, a 7 game streak anyway?
Yeah, they had streaks of 7 straight wins and 7 straight road wins going into last night's game.

Hey, Blanche from the Golden Girls is dead. =(
We need to ride again in tribute. I need at least two of you on tonight (and willing to put up with my connection issues).
Might be hard to do since Noz is too cool for us now. :(

I was talking about cheeeeeeeeeeeeeel.
ohhh.. the part about "riding again" confused the shit out of me, as I thought your 360 was dead

Also, if you wanna have a chelebration in honor of Blanche, I'm so in.

Word. Loved it. Took a while to fully draw me in but then I was completely hooked. Two bonus Poets of the Fall tunes doesn't hurt either.

So I think I've figured out the formula for Alan Wake.

Run from point A to point B. Watch shitty cut scene with whiny twat main character. Run from point A to point B while listening to main character narrate about stupid bullshit that has nothing to do with anything. Watch another pointless cut scene. Run from point A to point B. Get attacked by axe wielding ghosts. Engage in shitty combat consisting of standing there shining a flashlight at the ghosts then shooting them. Run from point A to point B. Watch yet another shitty cut scene.

Does this change at all or should I just turn the game off now?

The length between point A and B gets bigger
You get a bigger flashlight.
You fight more zombies.

So no:lol At least play through chapter 4, it has an epic setpiece

Oh goody. Just what I wanted, more of this combat system!

"The stairwell is broken. I guess I'll have to find a different way up.". Fucking brilliant thinking Alan. Who would have thought a broken staircase couldn't be used to go up. I'm sure glad you narrated that for me.

Hey, nothing like bad foreshadowing.

I'm going to finish chapter 1 but thats it.

Ok, the "Previously on Alan Wake...." beginning to Chapter 2 was the last straw. How fucking lame can this game get? :lol

Edit: Back on Goozex you go Alan. Good riddance.

you're only on chapter one? Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, you gotta let the game marinate... I really think that you, in particular, will appreciate chpt 4.

Just saw the above post... You gotta keep going through the story, shit keeps getting crazier (ie better)... combat stays the same tho:lol
 
I love you Marvie. That's EXACTLY how I felt about that game. And my 360 works--it just doesn't stay online. Or it tells me Live is down. Or it swallows when I want to blow it in the face.

I wanted to at least be fair and try to play it. I wasn't expecting much out of it but it went far below the expectations I had.

I just find it interesting that someone with such a high pain tolerance (quits nhl constantly, endless ocean, 19 dynasty warrior games) could actively dislike anything

Well, the difference is that all those games you mentioned have something I like about them or something that keeps me drawn in. NHL(only playable hockey games on the market, GAF club), Endless Ocean(relaxing game, love the exploration), and Dynasty Warriors(Love the characters and the time period they're based in).

Alan Wake had nothing at all that made me want to keep playing and a few things that made me actually want to stop playing. There are plenty more things I actively dislike too. :lol

Haha nice, I haven't played it, just watched parts of the giantbomb endurance run. I don't think I'd even want to play it, I like watching and letting it all sink in. I think if I was playing I'd miss the fact he was talking to himself on the phone :lol

Ya--definitely something that's nice to watch people play, but I can't imagine suffering through it.

Gahdammit. Deadly Premonition does the whole 'previously on Deadly Premonition....." thing too. It fits though because this game doesn't take itself seriously at all. It's so fucking bizarre. Two minutes into the game you have squirrels making monkey noises. :lol

Ok, so the first time you get to drive a car, you spend the whole time listening to your character talk to himself about bad 80's movies. :lol

dude, its episodic gaming- I like short games/play games in short bursts, so i'd play through alan wake just a few chapters at a time, so i liked the previously on

Also, I've watched every single episode of both Deadly Premonition endurance runs... and all I can say is:
A. I feel sorry that you have to PLAY Deadly Premonition
B. You're in for an awesome ride besides the gameplay tho

Why the hell would you watch an endurance run of a game? Just play the damn thing. :lol

I wish you guys could have been in the OTP game I was in last night. It was....um....life changing and terrifying.

It was me and 2 other players, I think one was a girl. I'm not sure because both of them were talking like cats constantly the whole game. Really high pitched voices, lots of meowing and cat puns, etc. Constantly talking about cat sex, grape soda douches and how it was bad because they make the fur all sticky. It was funny at first but it was so fuckin weird and the longer the game went, the more creeped out I got. The only reason I didn't quit is because I had 6 points through the first 2 periods. :lol

Forgot to even tell you guys but I actually got my grade up to an A- in OTP the last few days. Only lasted for about 2 games but I was happy that I earned my Legend Card legit, even if it took 500+ more games. :lol
