they're apparently remaking abe's oddysee

I am pretty much AGAINST REMAKES but this one might be neat I guess.

yeah, that's how i feel too. hopefully it is like the monkey island special editions / sensible world of soccer in being very faithful to the original

beat High Stakes. Some of the later races are a unfortunate mix of boringly easy and laptop throwing-ly frustrating. Which left me with 2 silver and a bronze medals among my 28 other gold medals. I'd jump back into Exodus but but my desktop is still dead and my save is still on it's HDD. going to wait till I can recover it.

I just beat Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. I thought it was pretty good and open ended. I really should stop playing western style RPGs as they are like crack to me. I thought the end was pretty anticlimactic, though. I would have way rather like... watched some kind of end cutscene than just "You beat the boss and now this is what happened."

portal 2 will be cool but honestly i'm not even interested in it right now, i'm still playing red dead redemption (I LOVE THIS GAME) and I started a god of war 3 game too. im also still playing demon's souls all the time, but it's hard to make progress if you don't play it every day. i still think it's really fun though and I like just playing it.

mostly still playing RDR. so great. i just got firebombs and a sniper rifle. i also just checked out the stats thing and i'm only like 50% into the game but ive got like 26 hours in it, all my challenges are like rank 5 or 6 (one is 7) and i have like 5 grand. i play a lot of poker. i love poker. all these minigames are so much fun, they did such a good job.

thats what i keep saying over and over: they did such a good job. i got my roommate to buy a copy for the 360, and hes been addicted to it too. both of us want to get portal but we're just sucked into RDR... they did such a good job with this game. i would buy it again if i could (im also going to go pick up a copy of the undead nightmare i saw at gamestop... i might be able to just get it off the PSN (this fucking thing crashed you know, its "DOWN" fucking PSN is "down" so fucking stupid).

hey also, has anybody got Portal 2 on the PS3, and is it just as good? It's not buggy or anything? I feel like i heard about portal/orange box being buggy on the ps3 but is that true/still true? halp. but yeah anybody got portal 2 for the ps3 and is it just fine?
yes coulombs are "germaine", did you learn that word at talk like a dick school?

I beat the Portal 2 single player, and now I wanna do co-op! Anyone want to play with me? I want to play with someone who hasn't done ANY of it (so we can figure it all out together, as a TEAM :3)!

My Steam ID is "belross" of course. Add me!

that's weird. i'm playing red dead redemption just now and i'm getting portal 2, as well.

rdr is okay, i was kind of surprised at how...soft, it is when i first started playing but now i'm starting to maybe get a little bored of it. it does look really good, i like to ride around on a horse in the game.

The thing about RDR is you have to appreciate the subtlety of it all. It's got a lot of GTA style game mechanics which makes you expect that kind of action but it's a different beast really. If you stick with it to the end you'll be most satisfied.

It's a real good example of how you can use a game for escapism. So great after exams last May just chilling for two hours a day pretending to be John Marston.

One thing you should definitely do is kidnap someone, hog tie them and then put them on the railway tracks. In game I mean. I know you're Scottish and all but DAYUM.

No lie I've been wanting to do that for so long now. I have that mask so I think i could do it without negatively affecting my honor, but I'm still waiting for the perfect lady. One time some bitch came running up to me in the middle of the woods, she was yelling "Help me, help me mister!". When she got close she hopped on my horse and said "What an idiot" as she rode away. I shot her in the back but I should have done the train thing.

Sometimes you run into those groups of dudes on the road, and they are all sitting there and one person (usually a lady??) calls your attention, and then they all start shooting you up. That'd be a good one too, take out all the dudes and then the lady at the end is like "Please sir, they made me do it". Tie her up.

Shit I'm gonna go play that shit right now.

edit: Also jamie play until you get firebombs and the sniper. It's not that much. But there is SO MUCH to do in the game, it really is a great piece of escapism, because you can play for any amount of time, you can play a shit load of minigames that are actually fun, riding around on a horse never stops being fun, the scenery is gorgeous and mexico has some really great areas, and there's just something about the GTA formula that really works in this setting. It's a perfect mesh.

Welp, since I still can't use my desktop still, I'm relegated to my Netbook for gaming. I don't know what to play.

Thinking of giving the first Just cause another shot though. since I'm pretty sure it'll run on it.
