Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Steam has an offline mode in which most games will work with. As well as my games don't auto-update, they want to but it's a simple option change.

Though I do admit, Steam is annoying as *** sometimes. Hate how it's going to a "let me tell you what your friends are doing 24/7" kind of deal.

You can run steam in offline mode. It simply prevents it from communicating for updates and friend stuff. And steam is fairly lenient for replacing game data for cheats and or mods. You can turn off automatic updates as you wish per game. And unless I'm mistaken, I thought no-CD cracks were mainly in sync with pirated versions of games. I'm fairly hard headed in support with Steam because of the traumatizing nightmare I went through for installing GTA4 several years back. I almost literally face desked because of the hoops I had to jump through just to play a damned single player game. Not to mention it was a horrible port.

Steam let's me bypass most, if not all "register this this this and that to play your single player game!" ***. Just download and play, simple as that.

EA and Origin can kiss my ***. Seriously.

I'm sad now...

Also tired. Goodnight everybody!

Having both I personally prefer my 360. PS3 exclusives are prettier I will admit, but the online to me isn't as nice. For indie/arcade games most of those are on both platforms except the occasional exclusive. Exclusive titles are hit and miss for me. Some on one some on the other. PS3 does have free online, but from my experiences it's just not a sounds as XBL. Both systems have pro's and cons really. Typically for me any game with an online option is on Xbox, some single players are too and that's because I'll most likely be in an XBL party with friends discussing said game, but games I know friends wont play I usually get on PS3 because in some cases(not all) it looks a tiny bit better. Also I hate the ps3 controller. It's overly light and just not comfortable in my hand.


Edit: Also HDD is irrelevant on both now since PS3 minimum is like 120 and I think the average xbox with an HDD) is like 250gb(Yeah you can get the PoS 4gb but for the price of buying an HHD you may as well get the one with the 250)

I'm waiting for the next epic game to come out that's Xbox only. Will I regret it? That depends. If Halo is that game, I honestly could care less. Fable's fun, but it gets boring after a while. So beyond that, most games that come out for the Xbox also come out for the PS3. So, it really depends on your tastes. As you said, you've been turned off thanks to the past year's hacking nightmares, and that's understandable. For me... VERY limited space. But yeah, what it truly boils down to is online content, and right now it seems like they would be equal, but again it depends on preferences.

finally some non-hideous gear =D


also, for sagi:

The biggest turn off for the xbox for me is the fact that you have to pay for online. I already bought the damn system and the games, now I have to buy the online? GTFO. Though yes Xbox's online is better than PS3's for the most part. Some PS3 games do have a decent online, but most suck. Also communication is better on the Xbox, but you still have to pay for all that ***.

Having small hands, the PS3 controller just works great for me. The Xbox ones are just a bit too bulky. I can reach everything fine on one but it just doesn't flow for me. I like light controllers as well, I personally rather not hold a brick all the time (exaggeration).

i cant add anything to the current convo soooo,

I've been playing online since xbox(the black suitcase with a tripple whopper for a controller xD) and ps2 and the quality of online play has always been so much better on XBL that to me personally it validates the online fee. Not to mention you bypass buying through MS and get a 12 month card for $39 instead of $60 :P 40/12 = $3.33 a month. To me reliability, communication and all around a better experience is worth that much. I mean even if you pay the MS $5 a month it's only the price of like a double quarter pounder meal lol.

Not sure if to rage, or not to rage.

Long stupid rant on why I want my Xbox back now.
Read only if bored and/or desperate for a debate therein.

Oh, I understand the appeal. But, I never grew up with it, and to me it doesn't really have anything spectacular to keep me interested. I guess I've been spoiled, but I wish they would implement an aim button. I can't explain, but for some reason it seems to help. But yeah... just not my thing.

Begin the rage.

Halo storyline is great. Multiplayer is meh on the newer ones but I love the story. Halo 4 looks quite promising IMO. Also Fable 4 gets me quite giddy. Other than that the last big exclusive IMO was Gears of War which was good. But I also think everyone who buys a 360 should buy Lost Odyssey because it's a great RPG with great music and it was scored by Uematsu.

Edit: Magnus don't click unless you want to reread that depressing story!

As Mag said, it really just comes down to preferences. I'm not denying xbox has the better overall online capabilities. It's just the principle behind having to pay for that (even though it is cheap on a per month basis) is wrong to me. I'm also not too big on the whole online play for the most part, too many damn 11-14 year olds with high pitched voices that love to mic spam. Only times I play online really is when it's with my best friend and we are doing private rooms/matches.

Oh I do dislike kids on the mic but I just stick in party chat. Which I have to say I love party chat. It's like being in a skype call on xbox regardless of what game everyone is playing(except dark souls lol they say no!)

I wasn't talking about the Halo thing. Halo is alright to play multiplayer with (Halo 2) your friends in same room. But I honestly don't give a ***about the series xD.

The comment was more toward "could care less" (the bold), didn't know if you meant that literally or meant to type "couldn't care less". xD

See, THAT'S the game I wish I still had my Xbox for.

My god... I just did that, didn't I?

/ashamed of myself

It's a truly amazing game. It made me sit down and contemplate so much ***. I still need to finish it actually. Only problem is every time I play it I get so into it. Also it makes me sit there in the pause menu just contemplating how, why and what if in life xD

I can't put in words what that game does, but it's a feeling I wish more gave me. Also it's only like $20 xD

Dude, that story about the little girl... Not even kidding, I wanted to reach through the computer screen and try to give the imaginary girl a hug.

Also, lol at Riker being a tetherball...

As you should be!

Oh if you play the game you get like another 30 stories like that. And they're just side stories of the characters past.

Lemme see if I can find some other good ones.

its funny i was watching the cat gif when this commercial came on the tv o.0 skip to like 1 min lol :3

Here ya go Mag, this is the second one you get. You have to remember the main character is immortal, which is kinda why this one is so ;~;

Techno cat is techno'y?

***, it's 2 AM. . . Time for bed! I'm never going to get my schedule fixed if I don't watch it.

Night RT.

That music video was awesome. It was ridiculously grandiose and classy, but not in a stupid or alienating way like Lady Gaga does. Not to mention the music was pretty neat and easy on the ears for the most part. But the video was just really cool. Thanks for sharin that Chuuu ;o

yeah i was surprised when i saw it on tv lol great commercial o: doesnt make me wanna try that horrible vodka though lol
