Running video games (and consoles) thread

Oh then that's completely different. I once knew a guy that refused to watch TV, and was completely smug about it. He looked down his nose at anyone who watched any television. I almost punched him in the face more than once.

 

I think I know that guy. There are a lot of "that guy" where I live.

 

Oh man. The first thing I'm doing when I get out of this business and make some real money is buying a huge HD TV with the best satellite subscription money can buy.

Until then, I'll have to live with being this guy:

I was blown away by the E3 stuff I saw, but right now, while I wait for the vast majority of it to come out I'm playing

INFAMOUS.

Great game! It's like Fable meets GTA.

Beat the game as a hero. Now going to beat the game as a villain. Replayability is WAY UP THERE!

 

Is Infamous that good? I was curious about it, but didn't know if I should shell out the money to play it.

 

There was a guy in college who lived in my dorm, who would always hang out in the lobby or laundry room. He owned a Laserdisc player (remember those from the mid-90s?), a Playstation and a VCR, but apparently not a TV. He'd always lug his gadgets to the laundry room or lobby and hook them up to the TV there. It was either weird, or a desperate plea for attention. I'm not sure which.

 

I was just trying to make friends.

 

If you'd have watched something other than "Muppets Take Manhattan" and "Howard the Duck" on an endless loop, or played a game other than "Barbie's Wild Horse Adventures", it might have worked out better

 

That's a shame, "Barbie's Wild Horse Adventures" is vastly underrated.

 

I could never beat that game. Barbie was a bitch of a mistress.

 

When they said there was going to be a game where Barbie wields a riding crop and rides bareback, I don't think that's what anyone had in mind.

This could be a blast:

I would be honored to be commish of our (360) league.
