Yep.

By the way, as stated earlier, that 45 mil on Evolved mode is not my score - it is my jerk ass friend who played on my profile and had the best game he's ever had. I can score around 10, tops on that mode.

I deleted the game from my HD and tried to reset the scores, but apparently the scores are stored on some server.

Sucks.

The 94 mil on Pacifism is mine though. I love this mode. My friend is closing in though with 88 mil. I need to get past 100 mil this week.

YES!

I finally beat World 2 of "Braid", and am onto "World 3".

It felt like something just suddenly "clicked" and I got the way the game is trying to get you to think.

It's really a totally different way of thinking about solving a 2D platformer puzzle. Very outside the box, as cliché as that statement is.

"World 3" has me stuck again, but at least now I know that there's an answer in sight, and I can get it if I am patient.

I love the music in the levels. Fits the visual style nicely, and is surprisingly evocative, emotionally.

Finished "World 3", and onto "World 4" now - with only one piece to go before I complete it.

It's a tricky game, and I've wanted to smash the controller a few times, but it's so satisfying when you figure out a puzzle that's been tormenting you.

Haha, Gears of War 2 has a content filter which turns blood sprays into sparks and changes the dialogue to an alternate family-friendly audio track, effectively turning it into a T game.

Finally bought Rock Band (game only), but it seems that the wireless headset is not working as a mic. I can't connect it as a controller. :sad:

I can't believe the final hour of Metal Gear Solid 4 actually got to me, cut scenes and all. The final fight against Liquid was rather clunky - not exactly a Kojima version of Soul Calibur - but seeing these two legendary opponents slug it out, complete with a slow-mo denouement was fucking epic!

Heck, I'd love to see a kickass Metal Gear movie. Now more than ever.

EDIT: But the epilogue goes on and on and on and on and on and on. Goddamit! End already!!

EDIT 2: Lol. Still going. STOP!!!!!!!!!

I am doing the Quake Live beta test, and wow. This game runs unbelievably smooth for a game being run in a browser. Not to mention it shows off the fact that Quake 3 Arena still looks pretty good to this day.

Picked up Tiger Woods 08 on the cheap. I rarely, if ever, golf, but I love the hell out of these games.

Heh, this post is pretty similar to my reaction. At first I thought, "why the hell are they fighting?" But then I realized, "because that's what they fucking do."

Jeez, "Condemned" is really starting to creep me out.

I believe it was Chapter 4 where I was inside a condemned (HUZZAH!) mall, and when I walked by an escalator I heard a loud thump, and turned around to see a body had been thrown down, and it had a piece of paper stapled to it with "LEAVE" written on it.

That was pretty unnerving.

When Rock Band or some similar program gets a heavy dose of ELO either bundled or DLC, then I'm in.

Oh man. Don't Bring Me Down in Rockband? That would blow my mind.

This is what I'm saying.

Feel free to replace "Don't Bring Me Down" with "Sweet Is the Night," "Poor Boy," "Do Ya," "Mr. Blue Sky," or pretty much any ELO song.

Would buy full discography DLC.

Oh how I would love ELO in Rock Band.

But I'm STILL waiting for Layla to be in either Rock Band or Guitar Hero: World Tour.

To whomever recommended that people play "n game": damn you. My sore, sore wrists blame YOU. Ow, ow, ow, this is one of the few times a game has physically hurt me.

Right now I'm stuck on this screen:

I know HOW to do it, I just can't seem to get it all together. I can do each individual part of the problem, I just can't seem to get them all in one attempt.

BIONIC COMMANDO REARMED IS AVAILABLE ON XBLA!!!

the split screen sequence towards the end was one of my favorite video game moments.

Ah yes, this one. :) Not sure I applaud the, uh, odd gameplay, but it definitely elicited an emotional response from me. Great soundtrack too!

When it comes to ELO, there's only one way to go.

LOL!

So when you say it got you... you mean you loved it right?

I'm realling enjoying "Bionic Commando: Re-Armed".

Not "the best XBLA game ever" as IGN touts it, but it's a pretty great little sidescroller with some nice looks.

Changed the cover insert of my Madden to a clearly more awesome version.

A Jet on the cover of Madden. Who'd have ever thought

Sweet, Mikami and Suda are working together on a new game. Can't wait to see what happens.

Well, I mean that it genuinely tugged a little at my heartstrings. That whole futility of war thing. Basically, I found myself surprisingly engaged by the plethora of cutscenes toward the end except for the last one with Big Boss.
