mirrors edge has a buzz building
|
|
polyGhost:
|
played the demo on xbox. meh.
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Dude, if you'd rather I get you a different game that's cool. I want to get you something you'll play, keep and enjoy, rather than eBay. Have a think. Maybe CoD 5?
|
|
.Zed:
|
no, I really want GoW2
|
|
.Zed:
|
looking forward to it
|
|
polyGhost:
|
OK :D I just don't want to see it on eBay ;)
|
|
.Zed:
|
but I really don't need the special super duper version
|
|
.Zed:
|
regular will sell...er I mean...do just as well ;)
|
|
polyGhost:
|
no no, this is a *birthday present* it's not 'Bay fodder.
|
|
.Zed:
|
hopefully online will keep giving
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Put your faith in Cliffy B.
|
|
.Zed:
|
damn
|
|
.Zed:
|
there are so many games coming out
|
|
.Zed:
|
i really am going to have to consider renting
|
|
polyGhost:
|
I don't know, for me it's down to GoW2, L4D and ... maybe ... R2
|
|
.Zed:
|
hehe
|
|
.Zed:
|
flip flop
|
|
.Zed:
|
as I foretold
|
|
.Zed:
|
:D
|
|
polyGhost:
|
No, it's far worse, I feel like I need to get R2 to justify the PS3. Utterly lame.
|
|
.Zed:
|
oh dear
|
|
.Zed:
|
and now it will cost u too
|
|
polyGhost:
|
tell me you feel different
|
|
.Zed:
|
£29 does not seem so bad
|
|
.Zed:
|
if it is crap a quick trade in a Game should get my money back
|
|
polyGhost:
|
I'm reminded of the Penny-Arcade strip "I'm good for another year. Honest."
|
|
.Zed:
|
yeah, funny
|
|
.Zed:
|
one more year
|
|
.Zed:
|
When is home hitting?
|
|
.Zed:
|
u still on the beta?
|
|
polyGhost:
|
I think NXE is going to be the final straw.
|
|
polyGhost:
|
I'm on the beta - but since the PS3 is back in the cupboard at the moment it's completely moot.
|
|
.Zed:
|
my ps3 does just sit there, in the corner of the room, staring at me
|
|
.Zed:
|
we are both on our 2nd ones
|
|
.Zed:
|
how sad
|
|
.Zed:
|
I can't get rid again
|
|
polyGhost:
|
SONY dropped the ball at the 'Game show.
|
|
.Zed:
|
it will come good, I have to believe
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Hmmm, what PS3 exclusives are there left that we really care about?
|
|
.Zed:
|
killzone
|
|
polyGhost:
|
The scary thing is that we both love FPSs and there's no doubt which console rules that genre.
|
|
.Zed:
|
and, er..LBP
|
|
.Zed:
|
and er...thats it
|
|
polyGhost:
|
I'm so off LBP.
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Killzone could so easily be the next R2. The dev shop behind it has never had a success.
|
|
.Zed:
|
I will not sell it, the PS3 stays
|
|
polyGhost:
|
and Blu Ray isn't doing as well as projected.
|
|
.Zed:
|
i am on my 4th 360 (Although only bought twice), 2nd Ps3, 1st DS, 2nd PSP, and have owned a Wii twice
|
|
.Zed:
|
will not sell another console
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Although I don't care about Blu Ray either way. I'm done owning movies.
|
|
polyGhost:
|
The only movies I'll be buying in future are ones I can't see in a theatre, there's no point me buying movies I've seen - my visual and narative memory is too good.
|
|
.Zed:
|
funny thing is, I only had 1 xbox, n64, ps1, megadrive, master system, intellivision, speccy, electron, gameboy, gamegear, amiga,etc
|
|
polyGhost:
|
God I dislike Flash ads. Do you ever get this thing where the Messenger ad footer sometimes just eats a core.
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Grrr.
|
|
.Zed:
|
my memory is good to..who are you again...but I do like watching certain films again, and again
|
|
.Zed:
|
films that make me smile inside
|
|
polyGhost:
|
I used to rewatch movies. Now I can only re-read stories, but only if the writing is suffiently poetic.
|
|
.Zed:
|
films that i can start watching from anywhere and see through to the end
|
|
.Zed:
|
see, I can never re-read stories
|
|
polyGhost:
|
The only films I can rewatch are CG - and then only because I'm watching them for specific things.
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Well once you know what Spot has done with his Ball I guess the magic is kind of gone.
|
|
.Zed:
|
haha, those stories, I do re-read, every bloody night
|
|
.Zed:
|
The Gruffalo, Monkey Puzzle, Smartest Giant, Charlie cook,
|
|
.Zed:
|
again and again
|
|
.Zed:
|
kids can do that,
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Two words: Audio book.
|
|
.Zed:
|
they never bore
|
|
.Zed:
|
it's not the same
|
|
.Zed:
|
I get home, read one or two stories, bath them, and then they drop off to audio books
|
|
.Zed:
|
after we have done the little piggy’s nursery rhyme
|
|
.Zed:
|
but they like the interaction.
|
|
.Zed:
|
reading with daddy
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Let me know when they're co-op gaming.
|
|
.Zed:
|
soon
|
|
.Zed:
|
I hope :)
|
|
polyGhost:
|
I waiting to see you pissed off because your youngest has just beaten your Geo Waves score.
|
|
.Zed:
|
it will be one of the proudest moments in my life...'Son, now you are a man....'
|
|
.Zed:
|
I present you with your own live sub.
|
|
.Zed:
|
use it wisely
|
|
.Zed:
|
we don't trash talk in this house
|
|
.Zed:
|
save it for the playground
|
|
.Zed:
|
monogrammed xbox 720 controllers :D
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Yeah? We'll see how you feel when the older one turns round to you for the first time, throws down the controller and says: "Powned".
|
|
.Zed:
|
he'll get a slap for disrespect!
|
|
.Zed:
|
Powned indeed
|
|
polyGhost:
|
Right, I'm off to read another HPL short story. Catch you tomorrow.
