Because Stan's avatar reminded me.

"Uhh, I don't even know where to start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talkin' to? Do you have any idea, any idea, who I am? Basicly, kind of a big deal. Ok, you listenin'? Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother, I hurt people, I'ma force a' nature, if you were from were I was from, you'd be freakin' dead! WHOOO!"

"What're you?  The president of his fan club?"

"No.  That would be your mother!"

It's EA.  They're so full of themselves they've partially digested their own head, remember?

At any rate, if things in the Dead Space universe continue doing what they normally do, they've probably gotten worse, and Isaac Clarke (Systems Engineer!) has to deal with it.  Again.  Presumably.

Curse being so short on details.

Though, if I had to hazard a guess based on that translation, that marker was made of something sturdy enough that having a CONTINENT SIZED PIECE OF ROCK dropped on it didn't destroy it.

[Game:]

Yutrzenika- Glad to hear it.

Game: Left 4 Dead (PC version)

Story:  You're one of four survivors of the Rage Zombie Apocalypse du jour.  You move from saferoom to saferoom until you get to an evac point and are rescued.

Time Spent: About an hour per campaign, depending on difficulty and player competence.

The Good:

+ Voice acting.
+ Ammo stocks tend to be plentiful.
+ Random feel, which adds to the replay value.
+ Co-op multiplayer.  I don't care what anyone else says, we don't see enough co-op.
+ Runs on excuse plot.  No loose ends, no mind screws, no Wesker claiming he's God.  Just you blasting zombies to survive.
+ Fun.  In sheer, absolute defiance of the odds and Yahtzee's vitriol, this game is fun.

The Bad:

-Single player is lackluster.
-AI director's moods seem to vary from "Yes, you won five bucks off me at poker last night so I'm going to toss a nice big horde of zombies at you" on easy to "I caught you fucking my mom, wife, sister and daughter, so I'm going to do everything in my power to kill you" on Expert.
-Clipping issues.  The last thing I want to see when I'm trying to kill a Tank is the back of Louis' eyeballs.
- Graphics may tax low-end systems, even on lower settings.
- Excuse plot.  Might turn off player wanting something story-heavy.
- AI teammates in single player are actively suicidal.  Particularly Francis, who is inistant on startling every Witch we pass.

Score: 9.0/10.  The simple, excuse-plot fun of the 8-bit era brought to a 3D FPS.  And it's meant for multiplayer, which is even better.

So....I'm the only one here who got the news?

*sighs*

Okay, it works like this: Electronic Arts has confirmed that Dead Space 2 is currently in development.  How far along, they won't say.  Just that it is.  You may all party now.

....And on that note, I'm gonna switch back to my original av.

I admit that I make a habit of going on archive binges for webcomics that are finished.  Dead of Summer is my latest.

Today, I learned I need to go heavy on the cheese and light on the flour in my homemade mac & cheese sauce.

Evil Dead II.

Favorite Flash game?

I've been playing Armored Core: For Answer today; and just now it froze during a loading screen, and I haven't saved for hours ;~;

Funfact: There's no autosave

Damn, my PS3 has been freezing a lot lately; Maybe the ol' beast is on'ems final stretch ;~;

There's never been an autosave in the Armored Core series.

More Sins of a Solar Empire, and some Soul Calibur II.

Trek.

Resident Evil or Silent Hill?

Coca-Cola.  It just tastes better to me.

The Protomen or Blue Oyster Cult?

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts,
And I looked and behold: a pale horse.
And his name, that sat on him, was Death.
And Hell follwed with him."
-Johnny Cash's The Man Comes Around, as quoted (sung?) by The Commander of The Protomen, Dead of Summer Book 2, page 51

"My liver!  I'd wondered where that had gotten off to."

Sins of a Solar Empire and Star Trek: Bridge Commander.
