    He, uh, writes odd stuff. I only read this because it was referenced in Metal Gear Solid 2, and it was pretty good, if sort of, "wha"?

    Then I found out Hideo Kojima liked that Michael Crichton book about some smug asshole Mary Sue telling every other (equally paper-thin) character that they were retarded for believing in global warming. o_O That wasn't so good.

    And then just yesterday I found out Kojima likes Twilight, and needless to say I'm not going to be taking any more book recommendations from him. Either he's got shit taste in books and picked up a good one once on a fluke, he's get a degenerative brain condition making his tastes worse and worse as time goes on, or book translators in Japan are taking some massive liberties with the original texts.

    EDIT: Also it's Watts, not Watt's. After the dude, Jeff Watts.
    (It's also not after the LA suburbs of Watts, which is what I thought it was referring to initially)

    Oh. Noted.

    I'm not sure that the Japanese have a lot of exposure to vampire stories. It's probably just a novelty thing, really.

    Stupid Anne Rice.

    I don't expect to learn fast.

    I just expect to learn.

    That's enough for me.

    Also do try not to sound so humble! You are hardly giving yourself enough credit.

    That's okay though.

    I jest.

    I would think Kojima has been exposed to vampires before, considering that he's worked at the company that's made Castlevania for his entire professional career, is directing a Castlevania game right now, and made one of his MGS bad guy characters a vampire for no good reason.

    Plus, you know....Vampire Hunter D, Blood: The Last Vampire...vampires aren't news to Japan.

    Kojima just likes a lot of shitty things.

    So I hadn't seen Uncharted in action before tonight.

    Nobody told me it was basically Gears of War.

    Can't you just make a new Ustream account?
    Or does it have to do something with locking on a certain IP and banning it from ustreaming?

    If they don't unban me I will try to make another account. But I suspect they banned my ip.

    Release Little Big Planet. Which still stands my favorite game ( though I've played like two at a buddies place)
    I even made like 6 levels of my own when I was done.
    But then I split up with someone who had all my save files. FFFFF!

    Little Big Planet was pretty good, definitely the most time I have spent on my ps3 playing a game. Though that isn't a difficult thing to accomplish since I can't think of another game on the ps3 I enjoyed. I mostly use it for bluray. Which honestly I wish had lost the format war, because HDDVDs usually had a DVD side that you could play in normal DVD players when you didn't have an HDDVD player available. Too bad they never marketed that because they are morons.

    I don't have any good Wii games, and I kind of regret buying it too. Zelda and Mario are the only decent ones, and they're beaten. Other than that, it's a bunch of ugly as hell family minigames. No thanks.

    maybe the avatar you had before and matisyahu had similar expressions or something

    ......Have you NOT heard of Epic Mickey?! It's the new Wii Exclusive.

    Mickey is going through this dilapitated Disney Park from HELL, fighting against demonic looking animatronic versions of his toony friends.

    Here's some concepts.

    It's why you plug in a GameCube controller or get a Playstation controller adapter.

    Also I am looking at Haida designs and kind of want a sweet haida tattoo even though it's not my mother's tribe. Time to draw 20 bajirrion characters with them.

    HDDVD was functionally superior, too. Both looked and sounded identical, but HDDVD just worked. Like a DVD. You don't need to boot up your movie or put in software updates. What the fuck is that?
