I've calmed down. My job is to handle the graphic design end of what we do, and he has a habit of trying to undermine me by making his own stuff for his customers, but he always does a bad job of it and then I have to fix it. It wastes time and it only adds tension to this place.

I went to grab a new game at BB and I just sat there staring at the game shelf.....absolutely nothing was appealing (besides the stuff I've already played). I was there for 10 minutes before I finally grabbed Liberty city stories. Balls. Hot Pursuit was the only thing left but its all out.

Gamerpass.

Lost of the Damned is downright unplayable but Gay Tony is pretty enjoyable so far. It looks like a completely different engine, clean and pretty.

I'd say it's more indicative of having a lot of disposable income than a problem. Impulse buys become a more common occurrence when in possession of such income, I find.

I just started the dlc for GTAIV myself and I will say the Lost and Damned is meh but the Balllad of Gay Tony is awesome. The beginning is so freaking cool too and the story is really good. I'm really liking Ballad so far.

I just got my PS3 this year and I've bought over 30 games for it :(

Most of them I've barely played or still have the plastic wrap on them and now they have dropped dramatically in price... :cry:

From a story standpoint, I think The Lost & The Damned is way better than GTA4 or The Ballad of Gay Tony. I think the combat is better in a lot of missions too. Gay Tony has a lot of fun missions, I just think that TLAD is better over all. Johnny Klebitz is different than Rockstar's other protagonists, and he exists in a world where he has support from his fellow gang members. All other recent Rockstar protagonists are seemingly likeable guys forced to work for dirtbags because those dirtbags have something that the protagonist needs, and you just work your way through a mundane story doing the same things over and over. I liked that Johnny was more of his own man.

Cool. I agree, Tony keeps throwing fun missions at me and I actually want to see what happens. Yusef is down right hilarious where LnD seems to be building up to something by starting slow and I don't feel like investing time into it. Also its so murky, I can barely see anything! I swear it looks like San Andreas.

I said I ridiculed 2001: Space Odyssey and they started insulting me in a very denigrating way (y). As if I'd watch a Kubrick epic, if I didn't appreciate a pondering masterpiece. Sad how people stop thinking things through to go straight for unbalanced statements. And here I thought these were the sort of ciassics that made you think, not stick up your nose and throw some crude claim.

Well, your opinion is only valid if you share theirs.

EDIT: Looks like some users over there should see the rules.

When debating about whether or not a film sucks, insult the film and not the user. In other words, keep all arguing above the belt and avoid insulting taste.

Of course it is, anything less is dirt! But there's the problem: I never said anything about the value of either the film, nor Kubrick and his works. But not fellating the mere mention of his name was good enough for them to forget to stand still for a second and perhaps ask. Instead they insulted my intelligence. And I don't know about you, but when someone attempts that with me, I make sure to give them a challenge in the field.

Well, kicked now, so really can't. Doesn't matter, it made me laugh at best, so I'm not bitter to be kicked from a place where poeple would act higher than others. I rather talk to people who like people and games, since they ironically seem to dislike that as well.

You see I specialize in Magikarp, every Magikarp lays a thousand eggs and then those Magikarp that hatch lay a thousand eggs each. Soon 1 becomes 1 million...

Do you really want to face a fleet of Magikarp? ;)

They are the most useless pokemon but when they evolve they are one of the most powerful. I'm always suprised at the amount of people that have never played a Pokemon game.

That's because we were a lot older than 12 when the first ones came out. I didn't have an interest in them back then, and have even less of one now.

Wait, how old are you people? I'm 18 and I thought that was close to the average age on GameSpot or so... but then again you guys aren't the average posters ;)

We are the same age. Weird. *glares at you suspiciously* I played and finished the first pokemon game on GBA whatever that was ... like Pokemon red I think. I actually enjoyed it at the time but once learning that all the games are essentially the same I gave up on the series lol..... this was back in the PS1 days.

You're both kids :P Didn't we talk about everyone's age early in this Lounge thread, like on page 9 or thereabouts?
