I don't play many online games, but I will soon....

So, add me. My ID is iMinerva

Is anyone else psyched for this? I welcome the change of playing as a regular human instead of a spartan. To me the tone from the trailer feels like it's more tactical, and maybe even stealth based. I mean not being to 7 feet tall and invincible will be pretty cool. Do recon troops even have shields?

Situations like this tend to spiral out of control.

waitng for Left 4 Dead and Mirrors Edge.

also Ive been bidding on new copies of Bioshock and Call of Duty 4 but people keep outbidding me. after the the price goes over $25 I stop. Im not paying full price for a game. that shits for suckers.

Even cooler is the comic book manual they released with it: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html

Question: Is this the next step to the Google Thin Client OS?! Hehe, cause once Google Docs and other apps become rad enough, one won't need anything else on their computer except a good browser and a good internet connection which is anyways the trend now except for in certain third world countries... like I still just have a 2 mbps connection (maximum and most expensive in the available schemes).

I think Dell's done similar stuff using Linux on their BIOS (and promising a 19-hour battery life!)

I'm not going to bother posting links and gameplay vids because if you cared enough you would have already seen them. But since Cultists have seemed to be more interested in Dead Rising than most, it might interest you to know that Capcom is pimping out the survive in a mall full of zombies thing once again. This is not a new Dead Rising, and no it doesn't have any special features (unless you count the motion controls for the wii. I do not) and is in fact severely gimped. The graphics aren't as good, you'll have less weapons to choose from, and not nearly enough zombies. This game is intended for those Wii owners who haven't played the original yet, but do yourself a favor, get yourself an xbox or visit a friend who owns one and play it as it's meant to be played. You'll thank me.

i'm after a little retro gaming for my new laptop
both gta1 and 2 are available for free on the Rockstar site, which one's the pick?

i could, of course, just get both but that would just be pure western capitalist greed.
