Morning Discussion

Good morning Shackers, how are you doing today? It looks like CES has pretty much wrapped, and our ever vigilant Nick comes with tales of gadgets. I know, gadgets, CES, who would have thought? In other news, Valve brings another studio into the fold. I'm a bit surprised that Left4Dead is still considered a while out, but only because of how good it looked at QuakeCon07. So yeah, what are you guys playing this weekend?

            If you don't collect the flags/do the gamer achievements then it just cruises along. The game gets really repetitive though so don't put it at the top of your list if there's something else you want to play first. Admittedly it does make for a good rental/borrow though.

          • reply
            January 11, 2008 6:07 AM

            I think its not too long. The problem is that its so fucking repetitive, which makes it seem longer than it is. When it first started, they said theres 9 assassinations, I thought "great this'll be over in no time".

            Turns out, after about number 4 or 5 its too much of a chore for me to finish in any real timescale. I cant remember the last time I played it.

            It's good, as mentioned above, for a rental and a quick play here and there. Its good with mates round, when you can take it in turns to fight off guards.

          If you haven't played multiplayer, you haven't really gotten the full COD4 Halo 3 experience. :)

          They're different experiences to be sure, some people will prefer COD4, some Halo 3, but I wouldn't write Halo 3 off if you have never played it on Live.

            are there unlockables and stuff like perk in Halo 3? I didn't see any big draw to it personally. I know everyone says coop is awesome and all, but playing through the single player campaign, even with someone else doesn't interest me.

            • reply
              January 11, 2008 7:57 AM

              You'd be surprised. Coop is a major draw in Halo games for good reason: It makes the campaigns significantly more fun.

              There's unlockables in multiplayer with regards to different armor types, but it's all cosmetic... it doesn't affect gameplay in any way. I'm just saying that Halo has lived and died through its multiplayer, so don't knock it till you've tried it, that's all.

        • reply
          January 11, 2008 1:16 PM

          The only Halo single player worth playing is Halo 1, the rest lack coherent story, game play, and kickassery.

          Multiplayer though, that's where it shines.

        hrm i played that game once.

        it was roughly ~40hours, i think you might be playing the expansion though. My quests did not vary that much, mostly made up of folding the Silken Bedsheets of +3 Shit Soak ability. This quest was located in the Laundry Dungeon of the County's Psychiatric Infirmary. I met comedy gold NPC's such as "Dove Lady" who would stand with arms outspread and birds would land swarm to her, like in the beginning of ace ventura.

        Also most all of my party only had the Inebriated use of Automobile ability, although i was able to find the Moor with +5 in herb sales skill.

        I gotta be honest, I've boarded in 4' of powder before and it fucking sucked. If you fall, you're pretty much fucked, getting the board back on top of the snow enough to get going again takes an incredible amount of energy, and god forbid you hit a valley or something slow, then you have to trudge out. Terrible.

      • reply
        January 11, 2008 12:45 PM

        medium drums isn't that hard if you've got the basic beat/patterns down. Many songs reuse the same ones so eventually you get them and can just have fun with it. That is until the fucking 9 min long green grass and high tides. 1st half is easy the 2nd half is just fucking brutal after you've been playing that long. It's also song 30 in the list for drums so you can't move on until you pass that which sucks. The songs after it other than enter sandman were all a lot easier.

          January 11, 2008 1:09 PM

          the hardest thing for me is the kick pedal. It's fine when it's treated like a separate drum, but when I have to keep a steady beat with it while doing all kinds of other shit with my arms, I can't do it. There was one song on easy that did this and it was the only one I didn't 5 star.
