    Alternately, you can just tell HR you need it to avoid RSI, and give them the link to the one you want, and lo it shall appear.

    Blargh I'm supposed to be heading towards a birthday party about 20minutes ago but a) The group of friends is notorious for showing up at whatever times so you never know if you are the last to get there by an hour, or spend an hour in a nearly empty room and b) I'm really not in the party mood at the moment.

    I have to appreciate that Gears has always been a co-op shooter. I wish more major franchises for console would recognize people love to play story mode with friends.

    @Preacher I really want it but I haven't actually finished Gears 2 yet and I don't know if I can spare the cash right now. But I dunno. Arrrgh.

    Eastwood aint got time for bullshit. If you've ever seen an interview with him regards to politics his entire stance is "Fuck the extremes." One of my favorite quotes of his is about extremism on either side ends up looking like the group on the other side.

    But they don't. I am not a fan of that position.

    both extremes are impractical, sure. But one extreme is getting mainstream support, and the other one is... well... it's not real. There aren't enough extreme social liberals in real power in america to man a row team.

    Also, I completely agree with this. I have never understood why co-op gets treated like the kid brother in games development.

    Did you ever play the Transformers: War for Cybertron? It has co-op and I hear it's pretty fun. I was thinking about getting it.

    @Sheep what is Epic saying?


    Actually it's not even just Epic. Other reviewers are getting in on it. Something like Gears 3 is the greatest game and an 8/10 isn't a high score.

    Kinda goes hand in hand with the meme that 7 - 10 is the review scale.

    It's just another games journalism lol

    Man, the guy I was going to hire for this position took a different one. Of the three applicants I shortlisted, only the top choice responded to my request for an interview and that was to say he was refusing. The other two never even called back.

    What the fuck?

    Not his point that they are equal in support, just that the tactics for extremes are very similar. Take Thanatos's politics and tell me how thats different from the tea party.

    I love that Battleforge (an RTS) has actual co-op story missions for 2-6 players. How often do you see co-op in an RTS that isn't a tacked on skirmish mode against bots?

    The Hunter: the Reckoning game was good times. I remember i was hoping Monster Madness or whatever it was called on 360 would be similar but it was THE WORST GAME IMAGINABLE.

    All of this facetime talk reminds me that I could use facetime on my ipad. cept i only have one friend with an ipad2 and wi-fi.

    and she is a model. not dealing with that reminder of my being a regular joe. nope.

    I have an iPad 2. It's at home though, and I'm at work. But I'm not a model so there's that.

    Synd has an iPad 2, make him facetime you.

    They should make another Hunter Game with co-op XBL. I was upset that the space marine gauntlet style game did not have co-op.

    Come on developers, I want some two stick shooters!

    Nope, I have an iPad 1. The 2, while faster and prettier, was not enough of an upgrade for me.

    To be honest though game review sites frequently troll major releases with "low" scores for this exact reaction. Like you'll read the review, find nothing that they would mark the game down for, and then they assign it an arbitrary number.
