That’s actually pretty good.

Or is that a little too meta? XD

EDIT: Maybe a murder mystery about a murder mystery trying to write a murder mystery! XD

You should clearly write a murder mystery about someone who kills the author of a murder mystery, and then stop mid-sentence.

I like the Scott Pilgrim movie. The game I could go either way on.

[Secret Fawful]

I enjoyed the movie as a spectacle but hate the characters.

I haven't yet played episode 4 of The Walking Dead, and was avoiding reading the story forum to avoid spoilers, but a thread title about a major plotline showed up as the last post of that forum in the main forum list, so I couldn't help but see it.

I wish people would be considerate enough to not put spoilers in thread titles or at least use **** when referring to specific characters. It's in Mike's welcome post on the forum after all (but very few people ever read those kinds of posts).

That's a serious question. I'm really asking.

I'm changing my series run to Space Quest. Then Leisure Suit Larry. Something non-scary.

I just realized I never learned the one skill that could save my life one day.

Hamboning.

I can do a pretty damn good Axl Rose impression... I don't think it's going to be useful in any situation. Unless there's some ultimate karaoke battle for survival penned in my near future.

You have me intrigued! You must record a karaoke rendition and post it here!

Sometimes I feel like I'm spamming those boards with informative stickies, but I wouldn't have to if people just read them. But they don't, so the hint forum gets filled with support threads and other things like that.

Which console? Does it matter as long as it's on a console?

[Icedhope]

If you got PS Plus DD Neon. Or go the sega route and do streets of rage both on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Well, colloquially it is called a milliard, but the more precise term would be kiloBob.

Depends on what you want to do with it.

Up until the recent 360 "slim" model, I would have said PS3 every single fricken time because of the red ring of death. Exclusives and graphics be damned--rampant, frequent hardware failure is a bitch. Fortunately, with the new model they seem to have that problem under control for the most part.

Anyways, PS3 not only plays BluRay movies but is the best BluRay player on the market; access to PS3's online features is free; and PS3's hard drive can be easily replaced with any size 2.5" laptop hard drive. XBox 360, on the other hand, at least earlier on more often than not had better graphics for multiplatform games; and XBox Live, while it costs money, supposedly has better support, compatibility with games/headsets and ease of use (or so I hear from reviews).

The advantage of exclusives between the two consoles seems to have switched places. It used to be that 360 had the upper hand with more exclusives, but from the list of games I'm looking at, the PS3 has more now.

At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself if you want the BluRay capability; if you want to be required to pay for online features; if you prefer XBL to PSN; if you care about 360's slight edge in graphics quality; if you care that 360's HDDs are proprietary while a PS3 can use recycled HDDs from a laptop; and if you'd rather play Halo, Gears of War and Tales of Vesperia on 360, or instead play inFamous, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Heavy Rain, Resistance and Metal Gear on PS3.


You can see which one I'd pick. Oh wait. I did pick. After all, I did need a BluRay player.

You should get that new console that is the latest buzz. The Sega Dreamcast.
