The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Started by Lord Lucien3,287 pages

They're really pumping those games out. They've become an annual release like Call of Duty. And at least that series switches it up between developers.

Well the guy on youtube said this is bad for him because we all really just want one big Assassins Creed 3 but this isn't too bad either. Brotherhood was one HELL of a game and these Assassins Creed games are the best games ever made in my mind. Deus Ex 3 is due out later this year.

No series comes close to matching the brilliance that is Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series. I have not played the Assassins Creed games but I know that Peach and General Kaliero really like them and therefore I hate them.

Everyone has their opinions. In terms of gameplay and more importantly, storyline (which is why I play games), it's Assassins Creed and the first Deus Ex.

You should definitely look into the MGS series in that case. Aside from featuring some of the most innovative, grand, and versatile gameplay you could ever find, it's probably the most story driven non-visual novel series there is, and more importantly the storyline's actually incredibly good. The latest game in the main series alone had multiple cutscenes that number around the 40 minute mark and one in particular that was literally 90 minutes in length.

Neb, stop being such a fanboy.

Edit: 'literally 90 minutes in length.'

Wait, what?

I've played them all. They were good games but to me they just didn't compare.

Hideo Kojima is awesome like that. If you thought Xenosaga was cutscene heavy MGS is on an entirely different level. Well 4 at least.

That is just fvcking stupid.

Stupid or stupidly brilliant?

SILENCE! FILTHY SMELLY HUMAN! YOU SMELL LIKE FEET!

Made my own protein ice cream. Close to 40g of protein and all under 300 calories. Woot.

How did you do that? I've been taking whey protein after working out, but it makes me sick to my stomach literally every time.

Honestly? "Amid growing calls for more internet regulations...."

Bullshit. Calls from whom? certainly not from people using the internet.

CURSE YOU POOP DOG! CURSE YOOOOUUUU!

Test Time!

Convert the letters in your name (first and last) into numbers, A=1 B=2 C=3 etc. For numbers with double digits add the two digits together until you are left with a number under 10, e.g. 19=10=1. When you have found all teh numbers for each letter add them all together and then continue to add the individual digits together until you reach a number under 22, as there are 21 major arcana, e.g. 22 = 4, but 21 stays as it is as the World card.

This number will determine which of the major arcana you represent, which in turn will indicate your personality and inner soul. For example, I got a 4, so I am, as if there was any doubt, The Emperor, which indicates Authority and worldly power.

I am eagerly awaiting your own results. Anyone not participating is a BIG POOPOO HEAD and will be given the Hermit card because I WILL NEVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN!

Silly way to pick your card, considering no one will get a 0. I don't agree with mine either.

I'm surprised to agree with DS on anything as a rule, but I appreciate the Deus Ex series as well. Preordered the third one on Steam.

No one gets a 0 because The Fool is too ossaum for any mere mortal to get it.

What did you get? Was it the Priestess? Theres no need to be embarrassed, we're all friends here. *titter*

Gideon's gonna have a field day with this.
