hahaha. my dork friends will take the day off work to bounce from store to store in an early morning scrounge for a new GTA game and play it for the rest of the day, but this is the first time I've heard of somebody doing it for a week, much less somebody's mom.

Finished FFXII last night, the last boss is cake if you set up a bunch of support Gambits.

Just got a DS Lite the other day so I'll be playing FFIII, Animal Crossing, New SMB and Mario Kart for a while along with finishing up Bully on the PS2.

They better think of something different - and NOT DATING OR EATING - fast.

no this is perfect actually it could take place present day starting out w/trying to decide on a restaurant and learning all the kinds of sushi and stuff in the end you open yr own bistro in a quickly gentrifying neighborhood.

When I think of a new GTA, but still with fire, paramedic, and vigilanted missions, my brain just dulls up.

I kinda know what you mean, but I still love the vigilante missions because they're always different. I've never liked the Paramedic missions and the fire ones are just ho hum.
They tried some variety in VCS at least, have you driven the ambulance and fire helicopters? And there's beach patrol, and you don't have to start at level 1 each time either. So yes I do hope the next big GTA game tries something new here.

It's the pizza delivery missions I find pointless, LCS had at least 3 of these alone. bah.

For me GTA is all about racing other cars, those crafty fish tailing manoeuvres, the old luring the other car into a wall trick, and all the fun to be had when the cops are after you. The on foot missions are too easy.

I'm loving VCS at the moment, the 99 red balloons thing is genius. Have you seen the 'little willy' copter, oh my!

I stayed up until the wee small hours opening all the Lego Star Wars 2 levels and characters up for my sons.

I'm getting too old for this shit.

The thing is, when I told the boys this morning they were like "Yay, now we can make a character with Darth Vadar's head and Princess Leia's boobs!" and Anne ended up shouting at them for being rude.

Just opened up the second island.

i have been playing for a month and am still on the first island. great game tho, although the cut scenes are pretty rubbish, esp. for GTA. feels like some rub. exploitation movie.

have found exactly one balloon so far, near the stadium i think, but cannot reach it. also found the 'defending your businesses' bits tres glitchy, so now just let 'em damage the premises and then go by to fix it up. every time i get in/out of a car, two bikers come and try and kill me - happens like 3 times every ten minutes. i must have pissed them off.

the businesses thing is great, the radio awesome.

stevie (stevie2), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 12:53 (seventeen years ago) link

you know you only have to pop the balloons right? so you can shoot them from a distance.

it's great when you open the second island, you get access to most of the helicopters and boats.

i haven't had to defend my business yet, is this because you've purchased all the buildings? i haven't done that yet.

Ste, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 13:26 (seventeen years ago) link

are we allowed to take electronics on planes? ive got 19 hours of flying to do next week and im thinking maybe VCS on the psp

sunny successor (katarina), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 13:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Check with all your airlines especially the day before as the rules change all the time. I cannot emphasise the 'all' enough, it's not worth the hassle to get to a hub for a changeover to discover that you can't bring it on. Bye bye PSP!

kv_nol (kv_nol), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link

right. im sure qantas will be cool with it but american is another story

sunny successor (katarina), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 13:53 (seventeen years ago) link

you know you only have to pop the balloons right? so you can shoot them from a distance.

aha!

i haven't had to defend my business yet, is this because you've purchased all the buildings? i haven't done that yet.

i have indeed! at least for my side of the island. i've also jacked up every operation to 'high roller', so am coining in some serious dough. have you tried the multiplayer modes yet? i don't know anyone else who has a psp, is there some wireless netplay option?

also, i can't swim very well. is it me or the game? i drown a lot.

stevie (stevie2), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:05 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah swimming is a bit doggy. i only use it for those times i accidentally ride my bike into the drink. the stamina bar makes no sense

ah so that's what you've been spending the month doing. i'll have to catch up there.

not tried the multiplayer mode, i have a wireless router in my house and i think i'll switch it on tonight to see if it does anything.

Ste, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Am playing X-men Legends II and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Both are fun a little smash-em-ups with some RPG-lite stat controls. It's like Gauntlet, only with more pertly rendered asses.

And Iron Man.

kingfish in absentia (kingfish), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, the demo for the new Sam & Max game is out. The game is episodic, with a new one every month 'til May. The demo is fun and you guys should really try it out.

There's a song in ExciteTruck that sounds like Joe Satriani playing Magma.

What system is that

Jon Williams (ex machina), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I am officially going to my mom's house tonight to play Twilight Princess.

nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:20 (seventeen years ago) link

your mom is my twilight princess

this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't even opened Twilight Princess yet. It's all about ExciteTruck right now. Are any of the other Wii launch games worthwhile?

adam., Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

The sports ones are, supposedly

kingfish in absentia (kingfish), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I will at least try an in-store demo of Red Steel.

nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I bought it, but haven't played it yet. I heard it's fun.

cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Finished Bully and my first house payment in AC:Wild World.

Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't really be bothered with anything right now apart from Pro Evo 6. But I can only play that round at my friend's bit so it's a bit disatisfying. Wake up in the morning with a hankering and he's away at work. Bah.

jim (jim), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i have been just THIS CLOSE to buying a used ps2 for ever, but now i can't cos it's the holidays and i have shit to buy for, like, other people.

but also, with the magic of emulator freeze states i have been able to BEAT BIONIC COMMANDO.

I kinda want to get that Bionic Commando/Strider combo that came out for GBA.

I want a regular XBox.
So i can set it up to play emulators. Better video connections available.

Geza T (The GZeus), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 03:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I started playing M2TW at last. Much pwnage, but Inquisitors are a right pain in the arse.

Sir Gregory of St.Kitts (g-kit), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 11:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I has got the bairns a DS for chrimbo. Will probably have to wait til mid January before I can play on it without feeling guilty.

Domino Man (Modal Fugue), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 11:04 (seventeen years ago) link

But you bought it?

I want to play Gears of War!

kv_nol (kv_nol), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 11:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, what's this huge blue parcel here? Why, it smells like Guitar Hero 2!

Sir Gregory of St.Kitts (g-kit), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 11:29 (seventeen years ago) link

INVINCIBILITY BRICK UNLOCKED!

Now I can spend hours collecting millions of wee lego credits without worrying about getting shotted. Only got TRUE JEDI on about 15 levels so far, now it'll be a piece of piss.

Haha playing as Teh Emperor pwns. You end up zapping everyone with mad lightning force just so you can hear his mad laugh.

I was dreaming about collecting wee lego credits last night. This is a worrying development. I need to get back to shotting terrist faces.

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 12:06 (seventeen years ago) link

NO FUCKING SHIT

Sir Gregory of St.Kitts (g-kit), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 12:07 (seventeen years ago) link

ooh I got Lego Star Wars 2 with the DS. Maybe I can hold out til Boxing Day.

Domino Man (Modal Fugue), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 12:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha playing as Teh Emperor pwns. You end up zapping everyone with mad lightning force just so you can hear his mad laugh.

If you change into someone else halfway through his jump attack you go flying through the air. Perfect for all those hard to reach places.

God I love this game. Only 3 gold bricks left to get but I don't really feel like doing all the levels in one fell swoop!
