Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Nov 26, 2007 4:45am PSTSo how about that Mass Effect? Isn't that combat great? That combat is so good, I sold my copy of Halo 3. That combat is so awesome, I've made hundred of YouTube videos detailing all of my expertly executed tactics. The combat is so sweet, it's replaced Deadly Towers as my favorite game to kill things in. Mass Effect's combat is so good, I called and canceled id's new game. And every other game. Nothing can top Mass Effect's combat. Nothing.
Hope everyone had a lovely vacation, and failing that at least a nice weekend. To see this week's new releases, none of which have combat as good as Mass Effect's, check out Faylor's roundup.

I got 12 sentry gun kills the other day, all in one life, all with the same sentry gun, and it didn't update my stats with the new record. If I didn't already have the Achievement of 10 Sentry gun kills, I'd be pissed. Now I'm just mildly annoyed. I use to think people complaining about their stats not updating was just because they did something wrong in game, but now I see that it's an actual occurrence that isn't the person's fault.
To reward you for my ranting, I give you this video of Waffles dying.

I know I'm late to the party but last night I finished Bioshock. I haven't had much time to play games the last few months (new job, move, 1 TV for awhile etc) but the last week or two I finally got a chance to play it and finished it last night.
What an awesome game. Is it perfect? No, but man does it have just an awesome atmosphere and gameplay to go along with it. I had a lot of fun upgrading my weapons and plasmids and just going through the world. The Big Daddy's never got old (some splicers did) and I thought the main characters you talk to and fight were all cool and unique.
One of my favorite aspects was how the world felt so cohesive yet each level/area you went through had such a diverse and unique look. The art direction in the game is just fantastic.
I just thought I'd throw my .02 out there, great game and an awesome experience. Now onto Uncharted, Mario Galaxy and Mass Effect.

When you get a sentry in a really creative or well-shielded place, and it just starts tearing guys apart, it's a great feeling. The Engineer makes TF2 feel like an RTS game; it's that big of a departure from the other classes I've played. You have to strategize. And when one of your babies you've been nursing for 10 minutes bites the dust, you really feel it!
It's also frustrating when all you need is ten goddamn seconds of peace and quiet to build your item, and every fucking time you lay the metal down a soldier or pyro stumbles on you and kills you + the building instantly. So you try another spot, and lo and behold you're instantly discovered again. Really frustrating as the combat capability of the engie is pretty sub-part.
Great class though. Makes it feel like a whole new game.

When I'm at a store or business or have to call some kind of customer service and people call me sir it makes me feel old and lame. I'm not a sir. I've always seen people who need to be called sir as demanding, stuffy, overly traditional and entitled people. And most times I feel like I am being called sir because someone thinks they need to refer to me that way as a form of respect, not because that respect really exists.
I'm not sure I have an alternative, because often they won't know my name, and you can't just call everyone dude, bro, man, faggot, etc. Sir just makes the whole thing feel lame. Anyone remember that guy who posted here a long time ago and made his kids call him sir and we all lol'd at him and called him a fgt? We were pretty awesome

i have like 20/35 distance vision without correction, and 20/15 with. i have astigmatism. first doctor said basically "eh, you don't REALLY need distance lenses..." because i was concerned about cost. but doctor number 2 said that i do need them because astigmatisms really worsen night driving. can anyone who is not trying to sell me some expenses glasses weigh in on this? i could read the chart like a beast with the lenses on, but it's okay if shit's a little blurry as long as i don't a) hit someone because i have shitty vision or b) not having these lenses in the long run will make my eyes get worse faster.

Thanks to Dahanese, Zhaneel has a new job at 2k Games. Come help her celebrate with drinks and Indian Food at Kennedy's Irish Pub & Curry House (http://www.yelp.com/biz/TgFUSRFSgfNhzi-2ZWC8Ug)
I'm thinking that I'll get there around 7 or 7:30, but if you get there before 7 you can get in on the $2 Guiness pints from 5-7. There are some pool tables, some stand up arcades, some air hockey and I think a foosball table. We can go from Kenney's maybe around if desired.
Come on out and let's get drunk!
