GO KILL MORE BABIES, G.I. JOE!

Man, I was in for over four years and I did not get to directly kill one baby. I demand a refund.

Jesus man, that's such a fucking rip off. Yeah, I think you can get back-pay or some shit for that.

Hell, I'd sue.

See, that's where they getcha. Can't sue the government.

Uh, yes you can.

[realspoiler:9ba4e5168f]First person view, I swear his remaining eye clouds up. Can't tell if that's how it's meant to look, but that's how it looks to me. Great ending. And making the player pull the trigger to shoot that last bullet? That's some good immersion right there. You can't just sit back and watch the cutscene happen, you have to take the action yourself and shoot her.[/realspoiler:9ba4e5168f]

Via the number zero? Via the concept of nothing? Via the Smashing Pumpkins song of that name?

Dearest Readers,

Lately I have been having some trouble with the women in my life... you see, apparently they seem to think they have the right to tell me what I can and cannot do.

Well, allow me to explain to the DUMB CUNTS as to why that isn't the case.

Throughout history, a man has had to do what a man has had to do. Sometimes, it's going off to fight for his country, or just for honor... traditionally, it's the women that stay behind and keep the homestead warm for his return.

Well, it's 2k7 now. There certainly ARE independent women in this world, capable of dealing with things for themselves, etc... and there are less than independent men MARRIED (e.g. ball and chain) to these women, and thus are subject (to a degree) to their input on said MAN'S actions.

Now, generally I reject the idealogy of gender stereotypes, but since these miniature power struggles that I'm constantly winning seem to be rooted in a FEMININE idealogy, allow me to ILLUMINATE you once more with a fucking BOMBSHELL....

I am a virgin.

Yep, that's right. I'm a BIBLICAL virgin. As in... I never stuck my Nintendo Wii in any of your X-Cunts.

While I have told stories to the contrary from time to time, and it is indeed true that I have "fooled around" with women, it's important to note the VERY important fact that I've never PENETRATED ONE WITH MY HOT ROD.

Why?

Never was really interested. Fooled around, dated girls, but they're just not for me. I've always been on the BOYS side. MY boys. And my boys already know who they are. :-)

While commentary on this subject will be appreciated, if you have a conterpoint or criticism, do note that the argument resulting will not occur just on this screen, but rather on a phone, or even in person. If you think you can stand up to me, then stand up in front of my face and tell me I'm wrong.

Otherwise, you're a little bitch. Put your fucking collar back on and go hide in the corner, because I'm sick of your petty, backstabbing bullshit.

He should have said "CUNTerpoint". That would have fit the theme better.
As is, I give it a B-.

I thought Icon of Sin was an absolutely terrible level.

* It was a stupid timing challenge, and the timing it required was very precise. That's not so bad.

* The last boss just keeps on spawning enemies at you. But no ammo or health ever spawns. That's a little bit bad.

* The enemies that are spawned often leave corpses. Permanent corpses. And the spawner never stops making them. So your framerate drops over time, and that makes the timing puzzle (point one) harder and harder due to technical reasons (i.e. not gameplay reasons). That's pretty goddamn bad.

* After a certain point, enough enemies are spawned that the game just plain crashes out to the DOS prompt. That's fucking terrible.



I found the end of Doom 1 Episode 2 (the cyberdemon duel level) to be good. It was scary as shit because he was huge and inflicted tons of damage, and they gave you a good amount of ammo and health, so it wasn't just abusively hard.

yea it was kind of a lame level, i liked the music though..

and the music for episode 3 map 2 for doom one is one of my favorites too

Yeah it's amazing what context can do for a games graphics. I remember Mario 64 and Turok as being magical 3D wonder lands but then I had only played SNES up until that point.

That said replaying it on DS reminds me that Mario 64 really is very very well done.

It took me years of gaming to admit to myself that I hated Mario 64 and 95% of 3-d platformers.

I'm like that with the Zelda series and 3D Metroid. I always felt that I had to like them because otherwise I wasn't cre enough or something.

And the I grew up.

Thought it might've been Debriefing but I didn't want to say anything lest it be over your head (score buff here)

When they signed Harry Gregson-Williams to do the score for the series, it jumped up so much in ass kicking.

DOOM 1, E1M1

That music right there just told you "this is a game where you move fast and kick some fucking ass and it's kind of techno-looking." I will always remember how that music goes (roughly). It was so good at communicating the mood and setting.

So I got a haircut and thought it'd be whimsical to change my MSN name to "oh gareth, you are going to be so dissapointed in me"

Right, are you with me?

So my ex's father's name is also Gareth.

So when she says to me "what did you do to dissapoint Gareth?" I couldn't resist saying

"fisted his daughter"
