Since this is the gaming thread, I saw this at CES and it was fucking cool. Motion actuated chair for racing games...

This monitor was badass too... (it curves so it covers your peripheral vision).

100_Percent_Juice · 2008-01-12, 08:18 PM

yeah that monitor is awesome. So awesome in fact that we have been talking about it on this very thread for the last 4 days.

I bet I'm the only one who's seen it though.

I discovered d-box by digging around in the extras on the die hard 4 bluray disc. My friend knows a guy in Modesto who is a dealer. Stuff is super expensive.

Nick Koan · 2008-02-06, 09:43 PM

taken!@@!

Want, but want link to buy book more

I have no idea what you're talking about in here.

I've just been playing Forza 2 sporadically, with the even less occasional song or two on Rock Band.

WTLM?

Speaking of WTL whenever, I'm finally playing through Bioshock. It's much more fun having turned the difficulty down, because it lets me focus on the non-shooter elements (RPG, strategy, exploration) that made System Shock great, while still being fairly challenging. On medium diff or higher, the shooting itself takes front seat due to the sheer frustration encountered during combat. It's a really weird balancing issue.

I'm also an hour in to HL2 ep2, and would like to express my dislike for the acid antlions.

Bob Danger · 2008-02-11, 07:59 PM

I just got Turok. It's hard I've died like a billion times already, looks good though.

J, you just have to suck less.

I've beaten it almost 3 times, each time I played on hard.

I'm just not a big shooter fan, unless we're talking about classics like DOOM, Half Life, Quake 2, or Jedi Knight. I also do sort of suck at shooters with a controller.

Bioshock's in my 360 because it's related to System Shock and thus has enough alternate elements to keep me interested. Note the relative lack of shooters, and the abundance of adventure or stealth titles in the pic below.

And I guess I have so little time to play now, I can't afford to die much.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-02-12, 07:41 PM

I hear ya. Most of my games are shooters or racers. Except GH2 and Skate.

Dean · 2008-02-12, 08:24 PM

My game collection BIOTCHES...

JonnydaJibba · 2008-02-12, 09:00 PM

Not surprised.

Does fishing derby accurately simulate the "excitement" of fishing?

Well, it does provide an excuse to sit around drinking the same way fishing does.

Nick Koan · 2008-02-13, 11:18 AM

A lot of games are enhanced by drinking. Like Gran Turismo.

I race a little better after I've had a few.

The same can be said about your Rock Band singing.

...'course maybe you seemed to get better just 'cause I was drinking too.

I have found this to be completely true.

You've got a few good titles that I don't. Do you still have a console?
