Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, May 19, 2008 6:12am PDTMorning Shackers, let's get this week going. As always with the weekend, we bring you another instance of the Release List so you can have confirmation that yes, WiiFit is coming. And we summed up the week's event's with a Gibson-Goldstein Index, for better and for worse. Oh, plus previews of Sonic Unleashes and Golden Axe: Beast Rider, if you can stand Aaron's anti-gnomism.

Age Of Conan preorder stats:
111,000 collector's edition sold out,
700,000 normal editions shipped by funcom.
Jesus, that is a lot for a MMO which isn't WoW.
The servers are going to get so raped! When i saw the initial estimate of 350,000 players - i thought that was extremely optimistic. Nice to see a few games do actually come out that prove to other developers that PC gamers do have rigs with more than an integrated graphics card.

Games: Chicktionary, World Slugger, and Spelling Bee are basically the same game. You don't need to get all the words. There's a unlock button that lets you fill in the rest of the puzzle with words you can't come up with. It's better to do this and move on to the next puzzle then to waste time for 3 more points when you could get another 17+ points with the next puzzle. Never spend more the 5 minutes on a puzzle.
The Matt Lauer game: Probably the easiest of the games. A puzzle is about a single topic so it's easy to guess at a lot of questions. Some that aren't so easy are easy to look up.
Crosswire: Looking stuff up and using the hints is pretty fast. Just by scanning the search result titles you can usually find the answer. Guessing works well too.
Flexicon: They usually repeat stuff with different clues so it gets easier the more you play. Use the hints on this one as well.
Clink: Read the rules on this one to understand the game. It'll help a lot with solving the puzzles.
With all games speed is key. To make it worth it you need a good time/ticket ratio. Other games are either not very good or they don't provide enough tickets to warrant the time you spend with them.

I can't believe some reviewers actually said this game was too easy and used that as a negative. WTF, are these people masochists?

I have a spare ticket to Flogging Molly (I'm still going too). May 31st, London Astoria, fucking awesome Irish punk rock goodness and one of the best live acts I've ever seen. Anyone interested? 15 quid, saving you the postage and booking fee.

Damn, contenders are straight fucked this year if they always have to face Rocket and Zen on the wall. Rocket (last year's male champion) passed the contender on the wall and then came down on him from above.

There is also some amazing imagery in this movie...there are several shots that stand up next to anything from the previous movies as classic moments. I think if you go in with reasonable expectations you will enjoy yourself, but if you go in expecting Raiders 2.0 you will be disappointed. Keep an open mind and actually allow yourself to enjoy it like you did when you saw the Indy movies when you were a kid!

I'm usually not a vanity whore in games, but I am really tired of those ugly ass clothes I bought in the Russian shop by Roman's apartment. I'm still pretty early on I guess since we just moved into Mallorie's, but how the hell do I find some new shops? I even tried browsing the internet, thinking that if I found the address it would auto add to my map or something, but no luck.
Also, there really needs to be more than 1 pay and spray.

1. Do you have to finish all of Brucie's races to finish the main storyline of the game?
2. Anyone know of a good site that describes all the cars available in the game?
I suck so bad at racing, it's not even funny. I gave up after the second race and I am hoping I don't have to pay somebody to come over and finish the races just so I can finish the story.

I've just started watching video speeches by Obama, and the guy is starting to convince me that he actually might pull this thing off. Of course, as I'm not an american I'm not well informed of what his policies actually are, so I'm basing my views just out of personal impression.
