I'm playing Star Wars Lego :)

Dude, it took everything in my power to not get up at midnight to go and buy that game, seriously...I have both editions for PS2, I have both of them on PC, and I STILL want to play it...Ever since raum told me about it, and yes, I scoffed at him (sorry bro, last time I ever doubt you, lol) for even suggesting I'd have fun playing LSW...It's the perfect shit to play when you just want to numb your brain man...I've resisted this far, not sure how much longer I can make it though...

What we NEED to do, is discover the perfect replacement HDD for the PS3, cause I've realized several games rely on it (some need as much as 2 GB of free space) and already I think I've used over half my drive...From what I can tell, the size of the drive isn't all that important, but having a big cache should help tremendously...

How often have you said these words... I wonder....

...it's a good thing I know you don't take my teasing seriously.... sometimes, I just can't resist the cheap shot...

[AYHJA]

I don't think you can ever resist, cdr...

[Skinny Bastard]

you know what they say...
"I can resist everything but temptation"

LMAO

Does any one else besides me care that Sony is raping us for $50 for an extra controller that doesn't even include a USB cable..?

[happywonton]

I believe the one that came with it is just fine. I remember that when I first got it, I played constantly and only had to charge my controller every 3 or 4 days. But then again, I'm only a casual gamer.

I'm thinking about getting a Wii! If I can find one. Mario Kart Wii is bringing some n64 memories back. The multiplayer was just fucking awesome.

Oh btw, 2.20 is out. It's downloading now.

[AYHJA]

No, the controller that came with it is fine...I'm talking about inviting friends over...

Meanwhile, DualShock 2 controllers for PS2 are $10...

[happywonton]

Hey man I hope you didn't buy that extra controller yet. I don't know how dual-shock horny you are, but if you want a vibrating function in your controller, they were just released. I'm not sure if I want to spend 50 on another controller when GTA4 is about to come out.

For the Ps3 crowd, Preorder Metal Geal Solid 4, and get a free beta to Metal Gear Online in the store.... nice disk!

but honestly, I can't believe you aren't talking about the 360 more? Do you people not get out?

GTA IV EXCUSIVE CONTENT
Star Wars Force Unleashed
Yoda in soul calibur (compared to Vader in ps3, much ass does yoda kick!)
FABLE 2 (someone here has to be able to play this with me!)
Ninja Gaiden 2 (confirmed exclusive)
Fable 2 is going to rock in ways games have rarely. (from the official forums, all confirmed by video demonstrations!!!) sort of set in the 1600's with tricorn hats, long coats, swords and flintlocks - AND MAGIC!!!

Fable 2 is my game of the year: with these features already demonstrated.

TWO PLAYER "couch" CO-OP; not split screen! Perfect for couples, buddies, and family.
(they are keeping the exavt details of online hush hush, but there is some kind of online)

A second player can come in and out of the game at any time as a guest. This player keeps all gold and experience they earn and takes it with them back to their own game world.
The host can determine what share the guest gets of the gold and experience gamed when the guest is in their world.
Guest players will get an hourly rate of pay for helping the host out.
Guest players can kill the host player's family.
NPC's will be able to recognize and respond to any guest playing with the main player. For example, if you have an evil guest with you and you're a good character, people will react accordingly.
If you go into another persons game as a guest the look of the character will be based off of your character's look. If you don't have a character of your own you'll have a generic pre-determined look to your hero.
The host can give the guest items to take back with them to their own game.
Demon Doors are returning for Fable 2 and are still only opened by meeting certain requirements or performing certain actions. Some can only be opened in co-op.
The game world will alter according to your interactions with it. If you trade with a small camp you may find that it's given the camp the push it needs to turn into a small settlement in the next 10 years.
Good and evil are being tracked as well as rich and poor, and both can affect your physical appearance and how the world reacts around you.
Morphing is going to have a large part in Fable 2, with the different morphs relying on , , corruption, purity, strength, will, and more.
Experience is affected everytime the player passes out or collapses during a fight.
Because so many people played as good characters in the first game it's going to be more difficult to be good in Fable 2.
A dog is going to be the main characters main companion in the game from near the beginning on forward.
You can use expressions towards the dog to help train it.
The expression system is back for the main character, including some expressions such as "flirt" and "pose", among others.
You will have no direct control over the dog.
You can play with your dog, such as throwing it a ball to play fetch.
Your dog works with with you to alert you of danger, hidden areas, and assists you in combat.
Your dog will morph according to your actions as a player. If you're a good character your dog will look pleasant. If you're an evil character your dog will appear scary.
If you go into a fight with your sword drawn your dog will attack the gun-wielding enemies first and vice versa.
You can feed your dog but you're not responsible for feeding him.
If you overfeed your dog it can become fat.
The lower your health is the closer the dog will stay to you rather than venturing off further down the path.
A gambling mini-game called KeyStone (a cross between roulette and craps) will be released before the release of Fable 2 on Xbox Live. Any money won in the game can then be imported into Fable 2. This game will cost points to download in advance but will be included for free in Fable 2.
You'll get more experience for a good "style" of fighting and less experience for "button mashing".
Instead of picking up gold from enemies you'll have to rely on getting gold from gambling or various jobs offered around the world. You will also get no gold for completing quests.
Jobs you can have include blacksmith, farmer, assasin, and henchmen.
The more you work at a job the more your skill in that job will increase.
Village shops will offer you free items as thanks if you happen to have saved that village from a particular evil.
When you marry somebody you become a part of that community.
You can have a dowry during marriage.
Due to marriage you can have a father-in-law.
Instead of mini-maps there will be a new breadcrumb trail.
If your spouse is killed your son or daughter will have to go to an orphanage.
You can purchase and own any building in the game, ranging from dungeons, houses, inns, to castles.
Most buildings or structures you can buy have specific quests associated with them.
You can play as a male or female.
You can get married and have children.
Just as in the first game same-sex marriage is possible.
The appearance of your children will be determined by the appearance of your spouse as well as that of yourself.
If you leave home for too long your family will react accordingly upon your return, either by being very happy you're back or by being upset that you've been gone for so long.
If you're evil your child will exhibit evil characteristics. If you're good your child will exhibit good characteristics.
As the breadwinner of your family you will be responsible for your families survival by making sure they have enough money to eat, etc.
You can have protected or unprotected sex.
If you play as a female character you can become pregnant.
Combat will be used via a one-button system. There will be one button for your sword, one for gun, and another for magic. This kind of combat is based off of timing and positioning of the character.
Combat will be position oriented; your character will interact with the environment around him to help him fight.
You can pick up and throw bottles at enemies.
Your combat style will change according to the kind of weapon you're using.
The player will unlock more skills and combos with particular weapons as they become better at fighting.
Aside from swords and magic the player can use guns.
The player can use a more accurate aim with a crosshair during gameplay.
Hobbes will be making a return for Fable 2.
While Peter says you can complete the main story in 12 hours if you rush through it it would much longer to do everything in the game.
