So I finished Kingdom Hearts 3D. It was a truly wonderful experience, probably my favorite 3DS game so far. That Flowmotion...

So, I just got a copy of Saints Row 2, because that is a better game than The Third, its surprisingly serious which is refreshing.

The second isn't a better game than the third in a lot of ways. I admit, I preferred the comedy and story of the second one, but the third was ridiculously fun in terms of how over the top it is. Really depends on opinion.

He said better than the third; not the first.

...ACK, that's what I meant. No idea why I said first.

Well, a few big reasons like the more, in my opinion, memorable factions than, blue, green and vampire LARPers, and the comedy and over the top moments in The Third are the meat of the game, not awesome bits of madness. And I thought The Third was just, stupid at times sorry, but some things just made me annoyed more than make me laugh. And also, the story in The Third is shorter than SR2. Plus there is the times it makes you do side activities, and I misses septic Avenger, and doing the TV show Fuzz. But, mayor Burt Reynolds was AWESOME. Just my 2 cents, make of it what you will.

Mann vs Machine! Gabe Newell why are you soo good at making twist?

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 7:54 pm

That just looks so freaking awesome. alksjfhluiawe

For those who don't know yet, Mann versus Machine is an upcoming update for Team Fortress 2. Check tf2.com for info on it.

I do believe a lot of people have known about this update for quite some time now

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 3:27 am

That does not preclude Hausphox from posting about it. You will, undoubtedly, note he did address his post to "...those who don't know yet..."

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 8:54 am

As I don't play very often due to my lousy graphics card, I was unaware of this update before a friend of mine (who does play quite frequently) brought it up on Facebook. Apparently it's been hinted at for a couple years now, but it's finally been confirmed to be coming out. In the next few days, if I remember correctly.

Seems like it'll be a pretty neat addition to the game, and I'll probably be playing quite a bit myself. Lag and all. :p

I've actually never heard about it and would be interested in hearing more.

That's amazing! It solves the problem that keeps me from getting into TF2! ^_^

0404 · Post by **0404** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 6:43 pm

I bet, TF2 and Half life are related. Grey Mann = G Man.

Heheh, gotta love these 'horde' type game modes. It'll be interesting to see how it all comes together in the end.

Oh, and assuming I'm around when the time comes, I'm all for teaming up...er...though I should probably warn ya that I'm not too good at FPS games.

http://t.co/L4OosZEh I really really hope this happens plsplspslplss.

0404 · Post by **0404** » Wed Aug 15, 2012 2:24 pm

I wouldn't be happy to see that coming true.
video Game may be sporty but not athletic. yeah it takes lots of energy and sweat to play round of video games but no. = P

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Wed Aug 15, 2012 2:27 pm

I can think of at least one sport that isn't athletic that's in the olympics!

Since games are a multi-billion dollar industry by now you can bet the IOC wants a part of the cake.

NO! Bad, bad! In seriousness, Curling. How is that an Olympic sport? By that I mean, why in the world does curling sound appealing to people? And why do more than 6 dudes in the world do it? Its stupid.

exranio · Post by **exranio** » Wed Aug 15, 2012 8:14 pm

I took a stance in life. Don't insult stuff you don't like. Just because you don't understand the appeal doesn't mean there arn't plenty of other people who love it and see everything great in it.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Aug 15, 2012 9:16 pm

I don't consider video games sports but there's no reason why they are any less of a legitimate competitive activity. I'm not particularly into watching video game competitions but if other people are, cool for them.

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Thu Aug 16, 2012 5:20 am

Well, the professional gaming stage is growing all the time with bigger events every year, so I wouldn't be surprised if we got to see more gaming on TV and other stuff!

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:06 pm

Well, depending on how much "physical exertion" one thinks should be required, there are numerous games on the market that are, by definition, sports. They've more than got the "activity involving skill where an individual or team competes against another or others."

Really? I've seen anthropomorphic rabbits, mice, bears, lizards, and cats, but no foxes.
The designer behind this game, Dean Dodrill, once worked on the Jazz Jackrabbit series.
The style shows, and so does his affinity towards rabbits.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:31 pm

I thought whatsername, the flying orange thing, she looked like a fox to me, and so did Dust. Maybe its just me, I think its the tail.

I beat a game called 9 Persons, 9 Hours, 9 Doors, 999 for short, recently and it was an awesome game. The sequel is coming out soon at looks promising.
Has anyone else ever played or heard about this game?

I'm a lover of the Xbox 360 and top games for me have got to be the Halo series, I mean the music, storyline and the combat all ties in so wonderfully! Also a fan of RPGs, I've Oblivion, Fallout, Skyrim, Dragon Age 1 & 2 and so others. I'm tired though of COD, it comes out yearly, just doesn't feel like much effort is in it and multiplayer is just dull for me (including 10 year olds who play it).

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Sat Aug 18, 2012 8:38 pm

I always find watching people play fighting games to be hilarious for some reason...

Anyways, is anyone else getting the new Counter Strike? I know I am.

Considering your name, I find this post kinda funny.

On the topic of "Dust: And Elysian Tail", I've already beaten and gotten %117 completion (yes, it goes up to %117) on Normal difficulty and have started my Max Difficulty playthrough. The game is spectacular.
