General Discussion

It is discussion time! Remember all opinions will be tied with your gamertag Is the XBL Marketplace overpriced as a whole or is it just certain content? Think about themes, gamer pics, avatar items, Zune Marketplace, and DLC....all of it. Where do you stand when it comes to the pricing? Feel free to make comparisons to PSN and the Wii store too! Thanks everyone

Article 2 has been posted. Thank you everyone for your input and I will soon be posting the next topic. I hope you guys enjoy it Linky For some reason the images are taking long to load. I don't know if it's on my end or everyone is having issues. I apologize if everyone is.

“I usually don’t think about it. I know I probably play a few games that people like my parents may find offensive, but it really doesn’t bother me. I just play them for what they are meant for… entertainment. Now while I can see many games that are debated by people as being offensive, media and other really don’t mention the fact that these things deemed “offensive” can be avoided. In Mass Effect, you can avoid the sex scene, and in Modern Warfare 2, opt out of playing the airport mission, or just do what I did and not have the heart to shoot anyone. Honestly, in these days, almost anything can be deemed “offensive,” but does that mean it really is?” -Skylark95 Of-fen-s…

http://www.fanboyscouts.com/collections/merit-badges Pretty cool. My brother, Absinth, sent this to me. It's kind of nerdy, but I'd want the Kobyashi Maru merit badge. LoL

http://www.neoseeker.com/news/13998-starcraft-ii-mod-features-final-fantasy-style-battles/ Amazing.

Found this on Gizmodo. I find it highly amusing how some people banter back and forth and edit Wiki pages in a nonstop barrage of point/counterpoint. Some of them are stupid, like spellings of things like Sulfur/Sulphur, Aluminum/Aluminium, etc. Some of them are strange, asking questings like "Should a picture of an Anus be included on the source page? Male or Female? Hairless or "moderately hairy". I can't believe that over ten thousand edits have been made over Ann Coulter's birthday. Wow... LoL Enjoy!.

Is it just me or is the forum acting up for everyone? I couldn't log on a few times..it said fatal error. Now all of the text is dark blue and instead of what the title for a thread, it has been replaced by numbers.

ok, the dude that killed all those folks at that beer plant......they're arresting people. one lady is charged with sixth degree larson for taking beer off his truck, but he gave it to her. in fact, that's why he was fired and shot the place up. this other guy is arrested for undermining the peace or something. he said he understands why the guy did what he did. true, that's a messed up thing to say, but arresting him? i'm confused.... http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/08/06/police-man-arrested-conn-company-saying-understood-mindset-shooter-killed/?test=latestnews

Dark VoidDeveloped by: Airtight Games Published by: Capcom Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, PC Players: 1 Rated T for Teen by the ESRB The BreakdownJetpacks are awesome, it’s a well known fact.

I see that this title doesn't have the Live logo on the cover. I was really looking forward to running this on my quad core. So what's the story on why this isn't going to be released for Games Windows Live when the first one was. Looks like Kane and Lynch 2 will be burning up my optical drive in my 360 S instead...

http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77&Lang=en Pretty interesting. They say that 1 out of 255 women, and 1 out of 12 men, have some sort of color deficiency in being able to determine colors. The test is simple. You are presented with a few lines of color blocks. You must arrange those color blocks in order so they fade and blend seamlessly into one another. Once you are finished, click the Score button to see how you did. A PERFECT score is 0, and the score will increase depending on how poorly you do. Considering the person who linked to this on MentalFloss.com, who claimed to be a "former Art student", scored a 38 on their first try I think I did pret…

BAM! http://gamercide.org/?p=1631 It's about time. I know. Sorry for the delay. Hope you enjoy it.

So after I finally completely beat Castlevania SOTN I'm curious as to what everybody thinks. Which franchise does it better....Castlevania or Metroid?

These SEVEN (7) hours must be played within FOURTEEN (14) days of activation of the codes. Please PM me directly if you would like to try Starcraft 2. (This means you Nomadik Kitty. LoL) Sorry, I had a bit too much to drink and just got this at Kmart (plus a $20 gaming gift card for buying there)

Linkage Have you ever wondered what would happen if characters from your favorite games ever crossed paths with each other? The creative minds behind Beat Down Boogie have decided to provide us an answer to that very question. Hilarity, boobs, and plenty of action occur when Ghost from Modern Warfare 2 and Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series meet up. (I thought it was funny)

After reading the thread here about Limbo being offensive, I decided to write an article about games and what is considered offensive. So....your opinions are needed once again. Remember your gamertag will be attached to all comments. What makes a game offensive in your opinion? Do you have an example of a video game scene that you thought was offensive or borderline offensive? Or are people just too sensitive these days after all, it's just a game? Spanks
