Did you ever play that old series called English communication? They had spelling, grammar, and punctuation DLC.

I let Gator borrow it but he traded it in for Cabela's Dangerous Samon Hunts.

:smh:

I feel sorry for Half-life fans because, when 3 finally comes out, there's no possible way it can live up to the nostalgia and hype of the first two.

I know it's been a very long time since we've had a real SOCOM, so if you really want one, this is your chance.

He said on the game's forums that the Kickstarter is simply to get a demo together for the PC, so that they can show it off and get a publisher. The ultimate goal is to get it on PS4.

Needless to say, he's getting my money.

It has been successfully funded as of today and still have 4 days to spare. I really hope he stays true to the old SOCOM games and molds this game to be a successor to them. I'm pretty sure actual SOCOM is dead thanks to Sony/Zipper, so this may be the last chance for awhile to have combat similar to that style.

Maybe its just the cheapass in me or maybe I am looking through the I have two kids colored glasses but I swear I cant wrap my head around these kickstarter things for video games/movies.

I would love to see alot of things made but I don't care enough to help them out...maybe if more said hey pay me 60.00 now and you get the game "free" when it comes out maybe, but they are mostly always pay me 60.00 and I will give you a soundtrack and a t-shirt.

Farming Simulator is out in the PSN store now! And it has a :plat:!

Doubt it. Looking at the trophy list, there looks like there might be a little grinding to get it.

Driving 1000 km in a vehicle and $10 million wealth would be about it. Everything else will most likely be quick and easy or pop up anyways during normal gameplay.

Hannah Montana. 3 hours to do the story. That's it.

So yeah for a :plat: it'll take a little more work :D but for a $10 title, I might get it on PS3 and Vita if it's that easy.

Does any one know if the servers/online play are working for the old old Call Of Duty titles like Finest hour, Red point , and number 2 or 3 and WAW for that matter.. Any one?

Just gonna throw it out there... but... if you are entertaining any ladies in the near future you may wish to avoid turning on your PS3. I'm not sure how they will respond to games such as HANNAH MONTANA and FARM SIMULATOR.

Well turning on the PS3 really won't show either of them so I'm not sure what your point is :D

How old are you again?

Old enough to remember playing the nes and super nes. ( 28)

Yeah, I get to look like the evil WiiU hater for posting more doom and gloom.

This comment is almost like a 3rd party deathblow since Ubisoft was a big supporter of the system. Crap on a cracker, how on earth did ZombieU not make a profit with so few games out there?


Yves Guillemot, Chairman and CEO of Ubisoft, is typically one of the biggest proponents of new systems, but betting big on the Wii U didn't work out well for the company. ZombiU, one of the most popular launch titles for the system with players, was not profitable, he says. Not even close. As such, he says, there are no plans (or even desire) for a sequel.


EA

For EA, at least, it's the system's lack of a rich multiplayer environment that's one of the big concerns - especially for sports titles. (That's part of the reason Madden won't appear on the system this year.)

"The lack of online engagement that we see on Wii U [is troubling]," says Moore. "It's so integral to what we do. They're so small it's hardly worth running the servers. It seems like a box that's out of sync with the future of EA - which is one that gives a real social feel to our games. The Wii U feels like an offline experience right now."

I am trying to figure out if JB's image was meant for Ryan Davis (Giant Bomb) or Nintendo? RIP to Ryan, died way too young and the he just got married.

28? Really? I had you pegged somewhere in a 17 or 18 range. I originally thought 13 to 15 but you've been talking about enlisting in the Navy, so I figured it had to be around 18.

Yeah, but it's using the Source engine. No way it's even close to being that expensive. It absolutely has to be Destiny or maybe Watch Dogs. My money is on Destiny.

10 million copies to break even?! :smh:

Watch Dogs

Well this takes gaming to another level......

EVE Online Player Loses A Spaceship Worth Approximately $9,000

If you have 20 minutes of your life you will never get back to listen to the audio after whomever this guy is losses, its pretty fucking epic.

There is a 6 minute version that has all the highlights but not nearly as funny.

EDIT: I dont play EVE online and I know jack shit about it (which if it takes real money for me to do anything that I might lose in a virtual world..count me out, well anything outside of playing poker) so alot of the things they are taking about goes over my head but its still pretty funny how raged he is.
