game-related lolz of some fashion

re: boycott: if you can't afford to spend $60 on a fairly trivial thing like a videogame like l4d you, er, probably shouldn't

n.b. i probably couldn't, so that's why i bought it for £13.49 off steam

it's not slight, anyway. it's svelte.

The problem is that too many companies base their numbers based on "successful" numbers of sales on the wii. Madworld didn't sell well at all on the wii, but it did sell. Now why does everyone call it somewhat of a failure, then (in gaming newsgroups and such)? BECAUSE, it's comparing it to previous "successful" wii games like wii fit. Now the real question is, why did wii fit sell so well, a game that essentially isn't a game at all, and quality games like madworld and muramasa are getting glossed over? BECAUSE, the wii's main audience (even if you are not) is about 75-85% casual gamers who really have no interest in gaming but instead want a babysitter for their children/people they're trying so desperately to entertain.

I'd argue that even if every hardcore gamer who owned a wii bought this game, it would still be considered a flop because it would only account for 15% of the user base of the wii, hence how stupid f'in casual gamers screw everything up for everyone else.

I mean, how would you feel if you were a developer, you make a quality game thats pretty awesome, and then Hannah Montana's next game kicks the shit out of yours as far as sales go? I'D personally feel that, since the audience on the wii is mostly a bunch of retards that have never played more than a handful of games in their lives and just buy what's familiar to them (ie, movie based/tv-show based shloch), there is barely any room for a creative game to actually BE successful, no matter how many of the hardcore step-up and buy a copy.

I'm personally looking forward to the wii release schedul of '09 but I still have to admit to myself that it's annoying and slightly depressing to know that good games made for the wii just aren't going to be considered successful because 85% of the people who bought the system are morons who wouldn't know a good game if it was growing out of their ass and instead, just bought the damn wii so they could have wii sports for their drunk friends to play at their social gatherings.

Prop Hunt, a Team Fortress 2 mod.

I think the blocked CS:S noob from upthread is heard in the second video.

Sports game moment of childish funny - giant pic so made a link instead:

Dirk Nowitzki on ball D

For any b-ball nerds, I simmed a season to see what would happen with trades and free agency. Both Amare and Dirk signed as free agents to these respective teams.

That Prop Hunt video was pretty hilarious.. hopefully I'll stumble upon a server soon

love the minor(?) note at the end of 1-1

major 7th baby

I like to think that old crazy topless man woke up the next day with a vague recollection of dancing last night and went to work in his usual job as accounts director of a maritime vessel insurance company.

One day the he'll get a moment of clarity and have to hold it together in the middle of a meeting about agreed shipping lanes.

I'll stop now before it becomes slashfic.

Cozen that clip is MURDERING me over here. I love how he puts out the moon for every "BURNING DOWN LOVE." It would have had the same effect if he only did it for the first one!

I only wish I recognized a single game he was trying to repazent

Neo Geo - a helluva drug.

Your like 30 and your spending you're time complaining about video games on a forum full of other 30 yr olds...
