Hey, EA, thanks for region locking this, you assholes!
Rock & Roll is for AMERICA, Yoshi.
Yeah, too bad shooters aren't...
Ill get some personal impressions up later, still at work. Buzz is if you loved RTCW/ET on the PC (like I do) that the Multiplayer is a huge bust. Actually more than a bust, it's supposedly blasphemy. And from the results of this article, doesnt look like Multiplayer will get much support down the line:

Wolfenstein multiplayer team axed on release day
On the same day that Activision releases its latest title in the Wolfenstein franchise, GamesIndustry.biz can confirm that a number of the team responsible for the multiplayer portion of the game have been laid off.
UK based Endrant Studios had been co-developing Wolfenstein with Raven Software, and it was the first title by the team since forming in July 2008.
"We have recently completed a development cycle and have regrettably been forced to make adjustments to staff and headcounts," said a spokesperson for the studio.
"Those affected are valued members of our team who have worked incredibly hard on our latest title. We hope that they land on their feet quickly."
The spokesperson could not specify the exact number of redundancies at the 17-man team due to ongoing efforts to secure other work.
Wolfenstein for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is released today in North America, and on Friday in Europe.
However, Single player is supposed to be pretty rad, and is getting fairly good reviews. (Crysis type powers + Wolf theme)
Im a Wolf nut so I bought it anyways, from the looks of things you can hold off for a price drop or rent at least for the SP portion by Raven.
Going to have to try and find a Kmart.
All of the Kmart stores in my area have gone out of business. :cry:
There are 4 in my area and only 1 actually had it in stock since before they dropped it to $35. And the only reason it stuck around is because they never dropped the price tag from $99.99. It's a crap shoot if any stores actually have it in stock.
While you guys are there check for 120gb 360 hard drives. They should have dropped to $17 this week.
Great. All of these deals and no money.
Make some money then.
Left 4 Dead came in the mail finally. Nice.
Si.
Damn, if anyone finds a 120GB 360 HDD and is willing to ship to Toronto, it would be greatly appreciated! It still runs for $160 up here.
Awesome!
Can you still eat dogfood?
Got the second season of SNL for $19, Motorstorm for $7, and MadWorld for $20 at Target today. The SNL deal was pretty damned amazing since it's an 8-disc set.
Your DVD-Rs don't have Gilda Radner being unbearably annoying, so yes, you win.
Not yet they don't!
I got the Rockband SE found it for 37 not 14 but still not a bad deal. My friend grabbed their 120gb HDD for the 360 for 37 also.

Just what everyone needs: another chantastic fighting game.

Also picked up this weeks XBLA game, which really should be titled Super Not-Metroid

2 tickets to The Flaming Lips in Philly & 2 night reservation at the Hyatt across the street from the venue. Next weekend is going to be a good one. :)
Hey, if anyone finds a cheap 120GB 360 drive ($37, damn), please buy it. I have moneys and am willing to part with it for a cheapo drive.
I paid full price for mine. Faggots.
No regrets.

Just pre-ordered the new Andrew WK lp. Party!
He seems like the chillest dude in all of music.
Got a sweet set of steak knives and a big-ass dial thermometer (to hang on the deck) for the new house, also:

Because north is downhill from it's starting point.
And North does not mean "Up". Correct. Also wrong thread. :chick:
I WAS IN THE RIGHT THREAD WHEN I POSTED IT. I EVEN CLICKED "QUOTE"
HAUNTED
I checked K-Mart, but no RB kits were left. :(
I wasn't specifically looking for them, but I didn't see the HD either.
Got Shadow Complex, and completed my Lupin the Third second series collection with the fourth and fifth box sets for it.
Same director and same type of theme, but thats really all that they have in common. so it's not quite a prequel
Also, it's the jam!
Wish it was on instant watch.
they don't appreciate anything and they should be killed with fire
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/a...1&d=1250682812
Hopefully I get some time this weekend to actually play it.
Shadow Complex
If you cannot appreciate Andrew WK, you need to die in a fire.
That is the musical equivalent of that guy standing in front of the tank at Tiananmen Square. Andrew WK is a hero.
His spoken word was really, really awful though.
Still the best dude. His twitter is amazing
"The "Party Life Sandwich": Chunky peanut butter spread between 2 Hershey bars, all stuffed inside a pita pocket. Oven bake!"
"Just ordered double nachos grande with ground black pepper beef, and jalapenos - I could barely make the call, I was so pumped!"
"I always believed that "Sunday" was named after an ice cream "Sundae". So, I always eat a Sundae on Sunday! Do it with me! PARTY!"
I want a party life sandwich.
I got an iPhone 3gs. So far so good. Any recomended free apps?
Can't they all be free?
LotR Trilogy on DVD. There are the ones with both the theatrical & extended cuts on one disc and almost no extras. It takes less than 1/3 the space on my shelf compared to the original & extended DVDs, I don't have to switch discs halfway through the extended versions, I didn't plan on watching all those extras ever again, and it was only $10 at Suncoast.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...5e683e010L.jpg
How is Suncoast still in business?
I am waiting for the extended versions to be on Bluray. Triple dipping FTL.
Suncoast DID go out of business a few years ago, and were bought up by FYE's parent company. There are probably less than 100 stores left.
Aha. Next question: How is FYE still in business?
Huge returns on those silly-ass steelbook DVD covers?
I think it has to be women. No one else is dumb enough to go to a mall, much less go into a phenomenally overpriced store in one. I hope.
Have fun waiting. I'm not buying the Blu versions until they release something like this with both versions of the movie. Which will be like 3 years from now.
It's not so much being lazy as it is not wanting to go back to the days of the Laserdisc. I was done with flipping/swapping discs 10 years ago.
Word on the street is that Jackson is waiting for higher capacity BD's to be released. IE the 3 - 4 layer 75 - 100 gig discs. Supposedly he wants to release them on BD with the highest bit rate he can, but as it stands they extendeds would have to be spread across 2 BDs then and he doesn't want to do that.
Also if those dvds are the extendeds on 1 disc each they're going to be compressed to hell and motherfucking back. Fuck that noise.
No, but you have to flip the disc halfway through the movie. The disc uses a seamless branching technique where the scenes common to both versions are stored on the disc only once, and if you watch the extended version the disc branches out to the additional scenes. The disc flip breaks at the same point it does with the platinum extended edition.
lol owned
Will there be free ham?
with his face!
Bought a new Xbox 360 Arcade to replace my old 360 that RROD'd - redownloading all my contact now (This is going to take a while).
Also picked up Mass Effect at Target for $14.
Shadow Complex - Pretty fun so far.
Rock Band 2 kit, taking advantage of an EB Games deal of trading in 4 shite games (valued at 8 bucks trade in) to get it.
Wait, what?
In Canada at least, EB Games has a deal goin on. In anticipation of all the Beatles shit they are getting (I'm guessing) they gotta clear out the Rock Band 2 kits. So the deal is trade in 4 games, which are each worth at least 8 bucks in trade to them, and you walk away with a Rock Band 2 kit.
Note the games I traded in were worth more than 8 bucks, so I guess you could say I did it wrong, but I confirmed it with the guy that the deal does work.
Don't think this is in USA.
Shit, I wish it was. That sounds a little too good to be true.
ROAD TRIP!!!
no, it is everyone that either does not understand math, the worth of money, and/or how to use the internet.
something about the proof:
I want dvd
dvd cheaper on internet
dvd more expensive at mall
I want to save money
Internet > mall
buy dvd on internet
Is just not working out in their heads.
Bought I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1NIT!!!1 last night. Stupid fun.
that deal applies to more than just RB stuff, you can trade in 4 games and walk out with a free barebones refurb 360 (no hdd or anything), or get $100 off a ps3, or trade in 2 and get a slim ps2, etc etc etc (they take the 4 trade-ins and ramp them up to $25 each, which gets you $100 TIV)
just fyi

Case Logic SNMB-15F Canvas Messenger Bag (Dark Gray), 24.99 @ Amazon. I've been keen to pick up a messenger bag, and also could have used something in which to carry the laptop if I needed to, so this seemed perfect and thus jumped on it when I saw it as a $25 Gold Box deal. And I'm glad I did, I like it even more than I thought I would.

The Last Remnant and Star Ocean: The Last Hope, $19.97 each @ Kmart. Read at CAG that these two were on clearance, fortunately found both at the local store. Very cool.
I also have two Chris Ware books that will hopefully arrive late next week or thereabouts, looking forward to those.
Sweet manpurse!
manpurse, manpurse, whats in the manpurse?
Probably his pretty pink panties.
How incredibly clairvoyant.
I'm probably gonna need a new manpurse soon. A friend comped me one from "American Eagle" he was working at years and years ago, and it gets some use. I keep a sketchbook in it and whatever I'm reading at the time. and so many tampons you cannot believe how many
Heavy Flow days confirmed!
