I got me a Play 'n Charge for the 360. That counts, right?

I'll be playing Super Paper Mario on Wii soon as it gets its UK release. For now, I'm just playing randomness on the DS.

Got the messenger chatpad for the 360.

*Dr. Doom* · 09-08-2007, 10:25 AM

I just saw that thing yesterday, pretty awesome.

Peanut · 09-08-2007, 09:41 PM

Sid Meier's Civilization IV w/ Warlord expansion and Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II for PC. The latter cost me $10, so I couldn't turn it down.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-08-2007, 11:36 PM

Somebody's enjoying his new beefed out PC I see.

Peanut · 09-09-2007, 03:58 PM

Oh, yes. I just finished my first game of Civ4. Marathon mode style. 7 hour and 31 minute game. I was playing all last night until about 7 am, then I went to sleep until 12, got up and played some more.

Rome was dropping nukes on the Egyptians and Aztecs before they even knew what flight was. Germany helped by running them all over with their f*cking horses, though. HILARIOUS!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-09-2007, 06:03 PM

Sounds like Sim City meets Age of Empires II with a sense of humor.

Peanut · 09-09-2007, 06:30 PM

Well...since Civ has been around since 1990 or so, it's more like those games are like it, but yeah.

The game is pretty funny, especially when you roll up on some lame city in a tank, and they start shooting arrows at you, or hurling rocks. Good times.

愛 · 09-09-2007, 06:33 PM

Sim City came out in 1989, and Civilization came out in 1991. Age of Empires in 1997. Just a clarification.

And Civilization IV is awesome. I used to play it for hours upon hours, just rocking faces up and down the board. I always won the space race. That's the best way to win, baby!

Peanut · 09-09-2007, 06:38 PM

Sim City seriously came out in 89? God damn, man. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-09-2007, 08:32 PM

Yes it does, you old fart.

**Barkworm** · 09-10-2007, 02:45 PM

Played "Metroid Prime 2: Echoes" till Emperor Ing, got incredibly pissed, might never touch the game again.

**GK Punk** · 09-10-2007, 03:03 PM

You are Preaching to the choir.

**Barkworm** · 09-10-2007, 03:09 PM

But seriously, they sure overdid it with that thing. I got dizzy fighting it...

Oh poo, I killed him the first time around (even though I got away with only 35 life on the last energy tank).

*Dr. Doom* · 09-10-2007, 03:35 PM

I'm playing Prime 3 right now, and it's worth noting that I never did end up getting around to 2, but I'm rather taken aback by the atmospheric spark that made Metroid Prime such an amazing experience being like...totally absent from 3. Like, you could dive right into the areas you explored in the first game, it was so immersive and intense. When you're in Phendrana anmd you first encounter the Space Pirates, you're terrified, on the edge of your seat, all that. You were freaked the hell out the first time you encountered the Omega Pirate or Metroid Prime itself. You CARED about what was going on in these places. Prime 3, I just don't give the slightest **** about anything that's happening. It's all just an inconvenience. The bosses are all annoying instead of fun and challenging. I don't care about these people or these planets or these bosses. They mean nothing to me. And the music is bloody awful.

So yeah, I'm really not happy with the game so far. The controls have actually turned out to be a little disorienting too. I'm going to continue based on my friend's recommendation that I at least visit the planet Elysia before I give up. But based on how difficult it was to finally play all the way through teh first game, which was a masterpeice in my opinion, I suspect that I won't be finishing this one any time soon.

愛 · 09-10-2007, 03:44 PM

Not enough pretty trees in Prime 3, Doom?

*Dr. Doom* · 09-10-2007, 03:48 PM

No, there aren't! >:[
