Well I just played the demo and thought it was really fun!


what does that mean

Kuribo's Shoe

that you'll probably really like the game 'cause it's like that but crazier with a lot more stuff to do!

Man of the Waves

I bought Split/Second the day it came out, but I exchanged it for Red Dead Redemption.

Now that it's 40 bucks this week, I guess I'll buy it all over again.

It's not $40 in stupid Canada.

damn it.

I was going to be very tempted to just buy it if it was, but yeah, it's not. Shitty!

I'm a little surprised that Mike and Jerry haven't talked about ModNation yet.

So it's a game where you drift (INTO THE SAME FUCKING RAILING LIKE THREE TIMES) in order to gain telekinetic powers, which you then use to blow up random objects (instead of, you know, the OTHER CARS) to win a race?

it's actually explosives rigged to specific objects littered across a large area intended to be used for the race but whatever

I somehow didn't notice the topic switch from Split/Second to Blur and it confused me to no end for a bit.

That will be Wednesday.

We will call this Arcade Race Week from here on after.

So I guess this is the new Infamous/Prototype?

I've always felt like I understood something about Bizarre Creations games, that their thesis was one with which I was perhaps uniquely resonant: the joy of a perfect run, pegged somewhere between mastery and the Zen moment. There's definitely something to like about Blur, and we put up with it for a few nights. In an effort to wring some juice out of my purchase I plowed myself into the ordinary, reliable part of the game, the single player, finding it ordinary and reliable - something had happened. Some quality previously held by Blur had evaporated, and like Modern Warfare 2, the urge to continue moving my hands on the controller in the interim period between these betrayals was gone. I'm incredibly ashamed to have recommended it.

daaaaaaaaaamn

That's harsh

I don't know if this really needed the four frames. Three frames would have been punchy enough. However, I do like the guy hopping around on fire.

/edit Also, it just occured to me that you really need to know, like specifically know Split/Second's gimmick to understand this comic

So since I don't know what Split/Second's gimmick is, since I hadn't even heard of the game before I don't get the comic, but having played several racing games I laughed at it anyway.

Squall

this comic reminds me of the GTA IV podcast

FlatEric

This comic became much funnier after I played the game today.

As a side note, the game is tons of fun. It reminds me of the old San Francisco Rush arcade game, only with more explosions. It's like the live free or die hard of video games, just explosions everywhere.

Except both of these are actually pretty good, if the demos are any indication

BusterK

How did His Majesties Dragon turn into 2nd Amendment fight?

Squall

BusterK

Fuck Twitter

SabreMau

Yeah, gotta read it from down to up and check the timestamps.
