LET'S ARGUE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES

I guess play Halo 3 at someone's house instead? The game plays just fine for me and everyone else.

I didn't even notice that the crosshair wasn't vertically-centered the first couple times I played it.

[Fathom Zero]

I didn't notice and I still kick ass. Maybe it's because I play it on a standard definition television.

[HungryWantBiddy]

You know, GH, there is an auto-center option. Haven't used it, haven't needed to. Sounds like it may fix what you don't like though.

Also, who wants to run some rocket race tonight? GT: HungryWantBiddy Add me!

I like the Elephant

Got to see a 360 die today!

We were over at a family function of Emily's and their kid had a Wii and a 360. He was playing COD4 and weird artifacts would show up after he played for a while. After more people showed up, we opened the floor to strikers charged, smash bros, and wii sports, but when he went to play madden on the 360 it red ring'd him.

This kid was about 15, so he ran and got dad and mom, I guess so they could make it all better. He'd bought the 360 with his own money and looked like he was about to cry.

I think Microsoft does this on purpose.

[Moobs]

When my 360 died i put in my bed to cool it down and treated it like a living sick person

That kid will be bored for a couple of months

[Chojin]

No, he has galaxy and is gonna get strikers. And Smash Bros in a month or so.

[Moobs]

i played galaxy on my friends wii and i expected a lot more. The graphics are great and the controls are fine but overall it just seems a bit tedious and boring :/

I have Strikers and it kinda sucks as well. Smash Bros is actually the main reason i have a wii

[Guitar Woman]

YOU ARE WRONG AND HAVE NOT PLAYED GALAXY ENOUGH

[Moobs]

You're probably right. I actually only played one level and it was the Bowser boss level, and i got to this bit where there are portals which eat you and things

Yeah i kinda suck at games

[Chojin]

Which is also probably why you dislike strikers

[Moobs]

No i don't like Strikers because i have one nunchuck and therefore cannot play anybody who is real unless i get my wii online

[Chojin]

a second nunchuk is a big investment at $20 are you sure you can make the plunge

[Moobs]

yeah i don't actually have a job and santa failed me so i'm gonna have to wait a while. In the mean time i'll be playing my less interactive xbox games

[Chojin]

Oh I forgot to mention that the best part of that story about the kid's xbox dying is that when his mom came downstairs to look, she said "Oh, did it give you those red rings?"

Who plays Guitar Hero for the graphics? You can't even really watch them while you're playing anyway. I find them to be appropriate for the game since I tend to feel that low-grade graphics lend themselves well to rhythm games (see PaRappa.)

I might be a little more forgiving of GH3 since it's the first GH I've played, but I'm having a lot of fun with it.

[Rongi]

Honestly though, GH3 is pretty god damn ugly looking. Especially compared to 2, which I thought looked really good.

[Zomboid]

I had my 360 on for like 12 hours yesterday and it didn't even get a little warm :O. Also, I got mario galaxy for christmas but I haven't even started it because I'm having too much fun with mass effect and assassin's creed.

[Fathom Zero]

I played Guitar Hero 3 last night. I'm going to have to go "Fun, but forgettable" on this one. The mechanics are fun and really get me into it, but I only like about five songs from the entire playlist and the list is really underwhelming. On the plus side, I'm ambidextrous with a guitar, apparantly.

By the way, Mass Effect is the shit. I'm jones-ing.

[Seven Force]

Why not just get a real guitar and play anyway?

[Fathom Zero]

My point, I was just playing it because my friend borrowed Guitar Hero and the guitar and a 360 to play it on, BUT NO CONTROLLER. So no Perfect Dark that night.

[Seven Force]

Oh, I know. I wasn't trying to be snarky with you or anything. I just don't see what the big deal is lately with those games. It's no different than hitting buttons on a controller. I hope it doesn't come out in arcades cause it'll make people look like giant tools.

[Emu]

It's a fun party game that you can at least look like less of a douche playing than, say, DDR, because the music isn't gay and you're not dancing around like a dumbass (unless you choose to, which I do)

edit: it's also easier on the fat kids

[Terror Dino]

GH3 is a lot of fun, fun which happens to increase with some friends over and alcohol, gets might competive about 3 hours into the night. And tbh i dont even take notice of the graphics to busy playing the game and not fussing over something which only idiot's really care about. Graphics dont make the game.
