The real dumbass is the one who'd actually pay a subscription model to play GH or COD online. WoW's cost is justified due to dedicated servers, massive worlds with thousands of things to do. That's Activision for ya.
I couldn't sync trophies today, either. I also keep getting a message periodically saying:
An error occured trying to register. (80121604)
I have no freaking clue what that means.
They read my e-mail! OK, maybe they didn't, but I sent them one after the XBLA release letting them know how much I would love to see this port being made someday. Great news, indeed!
I should be getting this game in the mail Wednesday. From all the reviews I've read and comments, I admit I am feeling a bit worried about the brutality of this game.
Amazon, as part of their Gold Box deals. offered this twice today, selling through both times. They also offered a fairly decent deal on a mid-range 32" 1080p Sony Bravia S-Series LCD for $499 that I wish I could have jumped on.
WHERE THE F*** IS THE ONLINE CO-CREATE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED AT LAUNCH?!?
I've been wanting to create levels with friends, one of the things I looked forward to most about this game and Media Molecule has left that idea for dead.
Demon5500 has been talking up the alleged specs of the 360 and preaching the X-Engine like it's the second coming of Raptor Jesus.
"Wait until E3 and you'll see what Microsoft has in store. Game over, Sony." Nothing happened.
"Wait until TGS, you'll see Halo: Reach and the X-Engine...blah blah DirectX 11 blah blah built in tesselation...game over, Sony." Nothing happened.
They keep telling us to wait and see, which is ironic, because the ...
Since you came out from under the bridge, I thought I'd give you a little companionship. For the record, Amazon DID offer a similar deal for Halo 3: ODST (I am a frugal gamer, so I always check prices), and the price has been fluctuating ever since its release. Uncharted 2 still remains as one of the top sellers, so it isn't an issue of lack of sell-through, it's just common business practice for Amazon to stay ahead of the competition. They do it with most, if not all, new releases, which...
I have been hoping for a MtG: Trials of the Plainwalkers port to the PSN, or some kind of online, pseudo-deck building equivalent. Any kind of genre-jumping knock-off doesn't appeal to me and have all failed in the past.
I'm secure enough in my sanity to admit Oerba Yun Fang is smoking hot. I also think hentai is hot just like millions of other people out there. You going to tell us that Jessica Rabbit didn't get your juices flowing when you were younger. Kurt Russell? That was just a cartoon!
You know, it's funny you mention Bradley Cooper to play as Nathan Drake. When I look at BCooper, I see Nathan Hale in a Resistance movie. I don't know why, it's just always stuck with me.
This is Warren "Deus-freaking-Ex" Spector doing a gothic Mickey game! Hardcore and casual could both enjoy this game, though the casual most likely won't appreciate it. Now it's most likely being sent to die to an audience too afraid to try anything that isn't starring a shroom-eating plumber and his little boomerang-wielding elf friend.
LOL Yes sir, I am absolutely tired of people suggesting Depp for every role. I still cannot escape the memory of how he raped Willy Wonka and turned him into Michael Jackson. Now Christopher Walken, that guy is too cool for school. I'd cast him in a movie as every role, be it man, woman, child and animal. lol
Much like Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman is a terrific actor. Much like Johnny Depp, his versatility is dynamic, but not universal. Jackman would be a terrible choice for Drake because he lacks the childish charm and personality of Drake. Looks and personality are perfectly suited for Nathan Fillion (Castle, Serenity/Firefly), and this link expresses that:

Now if you were to hop into your DeLorean and gun it to 88mph and go back a few months when GT5 damage was first revealed with the very obvious disclaimer "still a work in progress" your argument would hold water. Now going a few months back to the present, you'll have read the EuroGamer and other publications' articles of a private viewing of the latest, still work-in-progress damage demonstration for GT5 where it was described as the most amazing, realistic damage model seen thus...
Keen script and great direction, both of which Joss Whedon is more than qualified for. As I said in response to #1, the creative minds behind Uncharted love Whedon and one said he would be their ideal candidate, and Nathan Fillion as Drake. It's an old interview on the US PlayStation Blog.
Here you go:

lol Van Helsing is the perfect example of Hollywood gone bad. Cool concept ruined by campy acting, horrble direction (didn't like The Mummy either) and an overblown soundtrack.
Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake
Bruce Campbell as Victor Sullivan
Emily Rose as Elena Fisher
A few of the creative minds behind Uncharted are huge Joss Whedon fans, basing Nathan Drake partly on Fillion's role as Captain Malcom Reynolds of Firefly. Greg Edmonson did both the soundtrack to Firefly and the Uncharted series. It's really a freaking no-braner.
EDIT: Read the last question, everyone:
It is one of the most requested features for a good reason, and yes, I will be using it. Being able to chat with friends while playing completely different games and not having to worry about pausing to bring up the XMB to type out a message is a major convenience. Let's say you're playing a game like Demon's Souls and wish to chat with a friend to discuss strategy, voice chat will help, especially since there is no way to pause. There are other benefits that I cannot even begin to imagine...
