GAMERS THREAD

[Battle]

I can see where this "torture" comes from. The game is drag and boring. I know my character is only lvl 4 but dayum i just cant see me paying money for this

I've never played World of WarCraft but everyone (including yourself) tell me the game feels like nothing but work.


Just sad and Blizzard Entertainment doesn't give a f*ck what anyone thinks.  They just keep shoveling more of this crap onto the store shelves as it seems there are knuckleheads who will pay to play this.

Perhaps one of the  most immaculate, most incredible composers for video games...   Paul Anthony Romero interviewed by the LOVE IT SHOW hosted by Sharon Catherine-Blake. You can also hear a little bit of what he's got going in the soundtrack  in the latest game, Heroes of Might and Magic VI in the interview...

Personally I think his best stuff can be heard in the entire Heroes of Might and Magic series including I, II, and especially III and V.  Most people pick the game up just for the music!

An exciting intro cinematic!
What I've noticed about the CG animation in that trailer is that the characters seemed more fluid and natural without seeing that 0.5 second key stop/start motion you'd usually see in most CG animation today.

They need to hire these guys to create a series. But I have a feeling it'll be so expensive to create

Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Has anyone ever played Star Wars: Empire at War [Gold Pack]?  It's a compilation of the original game and its expansion, Forces of Corruption.  It's a strategy game where you are given an opportunity to rule the entire Star Wars galaxy as the Empire, fight against tyranny as the Rebel Alliance or rule the underworld as The Zan Consortium. It's a damn good challenging game you can play on your laptop and desktop PC. I've beaten the game as both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance but discovered that playing as the Zan Consortium has a more unique and interesting way to conquer the galaxy
---by spreading corruption!   What classifies as corruption?
Setting up a Black Market
Racketeering
Intimidation
Corrupt Militias
Bribery
Kidnapping
Sabotage
Piracy
...and yes, even...   Slavery.

Here's an oldie but goldie!

If anyone can remember this TV commercial, you get a gold star.
M-Network was a video game company that created games for the Atari 2600.  They were also a division of Mattel Electronics--- a competitor of Atari.
I used to love this commercial because the jingle was a classic rock n' roll song.

...and this is the first television commercial I've ever seen for an arcade game.

...and here's a foreign  Atari 2600 television commercial I'd never seen before that actually had black celebrities (Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Pele) starring in it.  I wonder If there ever was an American version of this?

Ah, OK there is an American version

WoooooHOOOO!!!

I still don't know how this was done...!

Has anyone ever played The Micheal Jackson Experience by UBISOFT on the Wii?  I have a little niece and nephew and other younger family members who absolutely LOVE THIS GAME!!!   Seriously, it's a lot of fun. The title really says it all...  It's a gaming experience like no other 'cause even after Micheal's passing, he still has the world dancing with him.
Here's some gameplay footage:

Oh yeah, that's right...
The 360 version doesn't even have a remote controller, right?  It can read your body's motions!

What's cool about The Micheal Jackson Experience is that The Dance School option reveals how much of a con summate professional Micheal really was: He actually had a name for every gesture in his dance moves.  I was like,   "Whoa!"

Here's some more SW:TOR gameplay footage in this demonstration:

"TURN THAT SHYT OFF!!!"

e-Sports Scene A Turn-Off For Some Patrons

SIGH...*

Washington, DC - According to the Wall Street Journal, the appeal of e-Sports is lost on some patrons at a local sportsbar. At Public Tenley, a Washington, D.C., sports bar where seat cushions are made from the same leather used in basketballs and footballs, manager Deric Ortiz said he changed one of 26 monitors to a baseball game after a customer pleaded with him to switch the screen near him to show "anything but this videogame."
