I was mostly going along with the movie But when Mutt began to swing with the monkeys I was like "oh for heavens sakes what is going on!!
Still kind of bummed that we didn't get an amazing Indiana 4 from all that talent and money that went into it. I though Speilberg would cancel out the Lucas effect.

Having to get Gold medals in every challenge room to get 100% completion. It's fucking stupid. The points needed in the upper level combat challenges are borderline crazy. Seeing as how unforgiving the combat system is and how it increments in such small amounts is driving me insane. I am so fucking close to 100% I can feel it but these combat rooms are just frustrating me.

I surely can't be the only one playing this diamond in the rough. This is the third time I've posted about it, and nobody ever replies. I know rydogg1 was playing last night...are there others?
Anyway, this is a really fun game, though it's a bit rough around the edges. The concept is that you play a Battlefield-esque game of point capturing, but with deployables and the ability to drop-in basically anywhere on the map. Players can join together and build field-bases that keep the enemy from spawning too close. There's also dynamic missions that develop on the battlefield to keep things interesting, such as defending a VIP from the enemy team, or trying to take down a convoy.
The game isn't the most polished...the graphical fidelity is low and animations are somewhat jerky. But for some reason I'm completely hooked. It's a fun shooter with a slightly slower pace than most, and a little bit more strategy involved. I wish we could get some shackbattles going, but I fear this one is going to have a very small community due to the poor marketting :(

This is the same guy that survived a plane crash with Travis Barker about this time last year. He had been a key figure behind DJ Hero and was to be an avatar in the game, it will be interesting to see how Activision handles this.

Seems to be fashionable to dump on sports games without ever really playing them these days, but I know a ton of you fuckers played the shit out of some golden stuff back in the day. Let's forget all of that unfounded Madden hate and jerk off to the classics from yesteryear in this thread (inspired by a similar thread on HG101 asking for recommendations for Genesis sports titles):

So I dug up my Haynes guide, flipped to the appropriate section, and suddenly, I have to pay for filter wrenches and jackstands and breaker bars...and oil! This is an expensive proposition!
I guess eBay is the cheapest way to rack up the stuff I need? Is there a good list of "So You Wanna Maintain Your Car" parts I should just rack up everything on now?
Love and kisses!

I am in need of some advice from some SSD experts. I'll looking into buying a low capacity SSD drive for my HTPC before I install Windows 7 on it. Since its just going to host mostly the OS, media metadata and various filters I'm not really concerned about performance, but I am looking for a drive that is able to support all of the modern SSD features in Windows 7. So I need a good balance of:
Stability
Cost
Performance
Priority in that order. It seems OCZ makes various lines that would fit this criteria well but I can't seem to find any real information on the various feature set of each line as well as the experience in stability.
Anyone able to provide me with some suggestions here?

Another game down. I've "beaten" Skate, having made the covers of Thrasher, Skateboarding magazine, won the XGames and beaten every pro-challenge. There are still more challenges to complete, but I'm not trying to master these games, just beat them. The game never put up "credits" per se, but I feel I've done it justice.
That leaves me with 23 games left.
My thoughts and a polite request for help deciding my next game, in replies:

I dont see the surprise here. With the PS3 slim there was alot of pent up demand for it. The xbox was already reasonably priced, didn't come out with a slimmer version and was more of a price move to make sure they were competitive with ps3 prices--which they've always been.
