    Saints Row 2 allows me to put on nothing but a viking helmet and a crazed smile

    and drive around in a septic truck spraying mimes with human shit

    so even though in the story you play an unrepentant psychopath

    even the missions the game has you doing are either action-movie-bad-ass or cartoon-ridiculous

    so whatever, i'll let it slide on a lot of things that otherwise bug me in video games

    but games that are like "by the way you have to murder all these innocent people and round up their women so we can gang rape them" and still expects me to want to play it

    no thanks sir

    will why are you so invested in making this chick sound cool

    i thought you don't like dating black chicks!?

    i liked dating black girls just fine, really

    it's just that there were cultural issues and i didn't like the girls well enough to have to deal with all of them

    except for the english one. i don't really know what happened with her.

    hell, it's practically the theme of the credits tune

    you convinced me to pick it up someday

    i guess probably when winter comes around and i am looking for a game to play because i can't go out

    will i pick it up used?

    who knows!?

    Buy a used game in the winter and take money out of the pockets of developers scrounging up change to buy christmas presents for their kids?

    there are other jokes, here, that are pretty clever and that involve historical precepts regarding the jewish population of palestine before '48... but they're in hebrew

    San Andreas was far and away the best GTA. I really liked how the more you used a particular weapon the better you got with it, and just the stats system in general.

    Dual wielding uzis or sawed off shotguns never got old, and taking over territory in Los Santos was great.

    I hated that I had to do all that over again at the end. Hated it. It was the point at which I stopped playing the game because taking back territory was so fucking tedious and all I really wanted to do was finish the story already.

    I could see that.

    I took pleasure in every popped head, however. Feels good man.

    Playing the villain is a refreshing alternative to playing the hero. Especially after growing up with Zelda, Mario and all that 'save the day' stuff.

    i actually find playing the villain to be mostly boring

    i have a hard time playing an "evil" character in Fable 2 for example because the evil in that game is so needless.

    like you're doing it for the sake of being evil and you can't really find any character motivation for it or whatever

    the Mass Effect series does this right, i think.

    you can choose between boy scout, no-nonsense soldier, or belligerent asshole

    but at the end of the day you're still the hero saving the galaxy

    even if you were sort of a shit-heel as you did it

    i am okay with that

    more games need to have that sort of spectrum, instead of "pet kittens or burn orphanage", a little more difference between playing Superman or Frank Castle would be nice.

    my favorite part of RDR was when no-quarter and i popped it in so he could see the beginning of the game. we watch the intro with the train, then you step off the train. i hand the controller to no-quarter and he walks towards the first building.

    there is a 1-foot step up onto the wooden back porch of the building. there is a ramp leading up to the porch.

    NQ walks around the ramp and tries to step up onto the porch. Instead of stepping up onto the porch, John Marston makes no forward progress and just does his walking animation into an invisible wall.

    NQ turns to me, and says, "Oh. I get it. It's a Rockstar game, all right. It's a fucking Rockstar game."
