You know what, I'm done. I can't even discuss something if the other party won't look at things with an open mind. Come back to me when you get the stick out.

Peanuts are legumes, as are beans peas, and other plants. I'm not a botanist, so I'm not sure on the whole list.

I should be keeping a running tally. Seriously. Gotta be in the double digits at this point.

I was gonna assume triple digits, but you're not keeping track.

I think the best part of achievements are when you do something unintentionally and get rewarded for it. Its just neat to get some sort of odd reassuring chime.

I got Valkyria Chronicles because I wanted a new game and I enjoyed the demo. The game is fun, though the whole anime style is pretty embarrassing.

Sooo true. I can't even enjoy today's anime like I can with anime from the 80s and 90s.
Anime these days are just so shallow and annoying.

I preordered Samurai Shodown Anthology last night from Amazon. Hopefully it won't take a week before it ships, like KoF Collection did (the release date is February 24th).

When I went to go pick up L4D from my store, I ended up staying there for like 2 hours ****ing around with Wii music on the demo unit. It's surprisingly enjoyable.

You really need to be selective these days. Back in the day, a lot of stuff was good, and you didn't have to be so specific. I still watch anime to this day. I had a falling out for a while, but I've found a few series that I like, so I'm all good.

Totally see where you're coming from, though.

If you're a big fan of anime i strongly recommend Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffshttp://www.moviesunlimited.com/musit...p?sku=D30817++. I never where a big fan of anime, but this series rules, i know where you could watch the entire series on youtube, but i don't think the forum rules will allow it

Well, it's not all bad. I saw a clip of Black Lagoon on Youtube that got me to download an episode and I've been watching since. A lot of animes start off strong, then go down the toilet with incessant filler that bores you to the point of dropping the series (I call it the "Lost" effect).

The last one I really watched before that was Gunslinger Girl, and that was forever ago.

I tried it at E3 after being humiliated at the media briefing (people were leaving the Kodak Theater when Miyamoto started playing his imaginary instruments). Biggest piece of sh*t in 2008.

I didn't buy this game, thank f*cking Christ, but I did rent it. And someone has gotta read this and give me some feedback, because maybe I'm just overreacting.

I've got this whole thing with WWII games being kind of uncomfortable...but CoD:WaW really pisses me off. Aside from the fact that it's an utter piece of sh*t, rife with terrible AI and stupid design, you go through this grueling campaign filled with death and sacrifice, and you're told all about the terrors of war...and then once the game is (mercifully) over, you're treated to a cutscene...where Nazi zombies come ambling out of the woods towards you. You're then thrust into a zombie survival mode.

I don't really know what to think.

That does seem a little off-color.

I get the same feeling when I play CoD: WaW. It's such a depressing game, and you learn all about the terrible things that happen in war. Not many games can give that kind of shock value, but it's interesting to see them go that route. Also, the AI is kind of terrible in the game. I feel like they're more just in the way, and I can be a one-man army anyway. It seems like I am most of the time.

The campaign has some of the most tedious and frustrating levels ever, like the mission where you're trying to get rid of the mortar-launching guys (3 of them, I think), and you have to go through these tight-ass trenches. There are guys EVERYWHERE, and there's barely any place to hide. Also, some levels are just broad as sh*t, and you have guys firing from everywhere. I can't kill everyone, dammit! Let the AI do something!

Even after all of these bad things about the game, I still like it. Not as much as Modern Warfare, though. That game was just SWEET.
