First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Jan 03, 2007 6:07am PSTAfter about a month of playing it every so often, I finally finished Rainbow Six: Vegas last night. Worst. ending. ever. What the hell! I didn't enjoy that much to begin with (I'd give it about a 7. If you're getting a 360 soon, grab the far superior Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter instead), and that ending sure didn't improve things.. Also on FileShack

Feedback Request
Bohemia Interactive, the developer of Armed Assault, is very interested in improving the game based upon feedback to the demo and CZ/German releases. I have the opportunity to speak directly to BIS about various elements that could use improvement for the upcoming UK release, and while there are a great many things I plan to suggest on my own, it would be wise to get quality feedback from others so that I can present issues that I may not personally have (as a veteran OFP player) but that newer players might be frustrated by.
To that end, I would like to ask anyone who played the game and had issues with it to take a few minutes to post up some of the problems they had, along with solutions that would satisfy them. The idea here is to get a sampling of feedback from people who may or may not be hardcore OFP players as to what they found to be problems with the game. Please do not suggest things that are impractical to implement in the span of two or three months worth of development. Keep them realistic if you'd like them to be included in the list.
There is no doubt in my mind that the feedback gained from this will be heard and acted on by BIS. If you want to make a difference, please take a few minutes to give me some feedback.

I refuse. It is a waste of money that I don't have time to play. There aren't enough games for it that I really care to play. They crap out all the time. They're noisy.
However, if I were going to get one (which I'm not, you understand?), what games are good for it. Ignore genre for this.
I skim past pretty much every X360 thread.
Only games I want (I mean don't want, because I'm not getting a system >:( ) as of now are Dead Rising and kinda/sorta GoW.
What else is quality? :[

What was your biggest pleasant surprise in gaming for 2006? Something you thought would be a letdown that kicked ass, something that came out of nowhere/wasn't hyped and owned, etc.
Mine will probably seem silly to most people, but I think it was Castlevania: PoR. I was pretty burnt out on Castletroid after DoS, really didn't like the game that much and didn't understand the huge positive reaction (to me it was like a worse version of Aria with awkward touch screen shit tacked on). As such, I didn't expect much out of PoR but because of the crazy preorder bonus ended up picking it up, and had a great time with it. No touchscreen bullshit, way less emphasis on 'farming' monsters to pokemon-collect souls, and some cool new twists on gameplay.

"
Reportedly hated working on Star Wars (1977) so much, Guinness claims that Obi-Wan's death was his idea as a means to limit his involvement in the film. Guinness also claims to throw away all Star Wars related fan mail without even opening it."
Made me chuckle, you have to love how accidental the whole Star Wars thing is.
For the record I love it.

We announce our Winter Contest winners (see all submissions here in this thread)! We decided it would be fun to comment on each submission individually (Man, you guys have some amazing and creative MSpaint skills!).
We move on to talk about the console sales data from the holiday season and the top 10 selling games of 2006 (some which just might surprise you -it did us!).
Elizabeth is back with a holiday Gadgetry for us. Mark has a review of Loco Roco for the PSP and Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the 360. Elizabeth talks a little bit about Tomb Raider:Legends for the DS. Finally Chris talks about his massive New Years Eve rewiring project that he proudly tackled, and comments on Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and Gun Star Superheroes.
Fun episode! Hope everyone enjoys!
-Mark

In a couple of months I am going to start looking for jobs where I am moving and then give my job notice.
In march when my lease is up I'll be moving into a smaller apartment with a friend and my rent will be quite a bit lower (from splitting a $1600 loft to splitting a $750 apartment w/utils included), so I'll start saving my money more aggressively. In addition I am selling a bit of my stuff (computer stuff, tv, desks etc...) and giving stuff to my friends/parents (dvds, dressers, books). I am hoping that when I move, it will just be me and my car, and whatever I fit in it (2 seater), so, clothing (passenger seat), laptop, and maybe consoles in the trunk? Everything else, such as my bike or little things I'd rather not live with out I'm going to ship to my new apartment.
Anyways, I am looking for advice for moving across the country. Links or anecdotes too. Where I am moving too I'll reveal later when I am closer to the date. I already have a room promised with a friend in his house. He has offered to help me out and look out a little bit for me in terms of getting acclimated and perhaps work.

pics plz
Jan. 2, 2007 - The pictures posted on MySpace.com looked like the latest installment of "Girls Gone Wild." In them, cheerleaders from McKinney North High School in Texas exhibited all variety of bawdy behavior. One shot showed a bikini-clad girl sharing a bottle of booze with a friend. Another featured a cheerleader and several other girls in risqué poses offering glimpses of their panties. But the most infamous photo of all was taken in a Condoms To Go store. Five smiling cheerleaders dressed in uniform posed with large candles shaped like penises. At least one of them appeared to be simulating fellatio. "It would be an overstatement to describe any of the photographs as pornographic, but it would be an understatement to describe them as harmless high jinks," wrote Harold Jones, a lawyer hired by the school district to investigate the incident.

Odd question and beleive it or not, it's not for me (really!)
What hang outs do you find "stronger" porn at - which is still legal?
I know someone who wants some and I'm curious where to look.
Things such as people roleplaying / tied up / faux* rape (I said faux goddamnit, I do NOT want the real thing) fetish stuff etc.
She doesn't want death, dogs, feces, urine or anything fucked like that but your standard stuff doesn't appeal, she's into odd stuff.
(quote "But I also don’t like stock standard “guygoesdownongirl girlgoesdownonguy guyfksgirl thenherarse thencumsinherfaceâ€Â. I like rough stuff and stuff that looks like the ‘actors’ are actually into it.)
(Let's put it this way, she signed up to a beastiality site out of curiousity and got credit card scammed,...she's not into it but clearly seeing a picture of a dick won't make her giggle)
Possibly some hot quality amateur stuff too??
Any idea's on a place with a plethora of fetish style porn with previews? - Another internet forum some of us may be firmilliar with used to have files and it was AWESOME for porn don't mention the name of it, it's stopped doing it now though anyhow. (although mainly "normal 15->30 y/o guy" stuff) :(
SM me if you don't want to link it, plz keep it legal tho.

Maybe I've just gotten older, but there are too many colours and units cluttering up the screen at one time. In Starcraft, everything looked so neat and orderly that it was easy to select invidual units and have them perform some task. In War 3 it gets really hectic and I have trouble selecting units and then getting them to do anything before they're dead. This is especially true when there are flying units above the ground ones
