man this is like becoming the chatroom thread but for the gaming forum

i was a fan of Yahtzee before this thread made him cool >:

but i've only been a fan since GW posted the video in the Bioshock thread so yeah, thanks for that kiddo :(

I did the pen thing too :(
And I subsequently went out and bought Psychonauts :)

Well people bitched when we chatted about games in the GenBlab chat thread so fuck them!

I love Yahtzee's sense of humor, but I can't get into any of his adventure games. I forced myself to like halfway through day 1 of 5DaS, but then I got distracted and haven't touched it since.

Interactive Fiction adventures are more my speed anyway, he should totally do one of those.

Hay guys, I'm buying a PS3.

Let me know what Twing Twang is, ok?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I wish I could reference humorous internet videos like you.

YOU'RE MY INTERNET HERO.

:oneofthosedays

what is there to argue about anything besides it being too old, too much like every other game, or that it was a complete moneybag of failure? it's too much for me to worry over!

gaming is in stasis to me

So I just spent like 5 minutes taking shit from some prick on Yahtzee's forums about how Um Jammer Lammy is terrible and that it has shit tracks with shit guitar playing and singing, after which he proceeded to be all GUITAR HERO 3 IS GONNA HAVE THE BEST SOUNDTRACK EVAR

it made me :oneofthosedays

At first I thought you said Gitaroo Man and I was like WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT

I've never played Gitaroo Man :<

I can not talk to you again until you have.

Guys I have a question.

The copy of SOTN I bought seems to be working about 90% okay but has a few errors due to a very small (probably about an eighth of an inch long) but rather deep scratch on its backside. This results mostly in some errors with the music at certain parts (mostly in the Marble Gallery and the first section of the SPOILERinverted castleSPOILER)
and some pretty bad graphics errors when I transist past a disc-reading area when moving from said areas. The graphics errors can be fixed by re-loading the area but this is kind of a pain in the ass. Being in the aforementioned areas when the music is screwing up results in some lag and/or freezing when I try to access the start menu or die. Opening and closing the disc cover usually fixes this.

The dude I bought it from said he would resurface it if it gave me any problems, but as I understand it there's some risk involved in it and if he resurfaces it I probably won't be able to get my money back. :( Should I have it done?

Well, I'd do it if those parts are that important to you. I've buffed and resurfaced almost all of my games. Never had a problem.

You must take pretty poor care of your games, then.

Guilty! :lol

Actually, since I turned fourteen and realized that trading in games is stupid, I've kept them all in the original cases instead of on spools like I did.

Every time I go into gamestop anymore they try to convince me that trading in games will save me money.

The turning point for me was looking around for Shadow Hearts 2 and Katamari Damacy only to remember I'd traded them in for Halo 2 or something gay.

Speaking of Katamari, I found it in a ghetto pawn shop for 8 dollars. Bought Fatal Frame III instead because I figure Katamari probably has a longer shelf life. :[

Edit: Meaning I could come back and get it later when I had money.

Katamari is hard to find, dude. At least it was about 8-12 months after the small release. I doubt they upped production at that time.

And Street Fighter has the mangas, the animes, the movies, et cetera.

I don't think he was discrediting that in that quote, I believe he was trying to establish that the point noob was trying to make in that thread was less relevant than he originally intended.
