Well I hope you learnt your lesson: "The bigger they are, the more people they need to defend them." Covers up all their vulnerable spots, or something.


Oh, and Hearts of Iron 2. Maybe I played it too much like Victoria or something, but I'll stick with that.

Well you don't own the game. You own the ability to play the game. You don't own the newspaper or any other subscription service.

Actually you do have to buy the retail game in addition to subscribing. Also, buying the retail game gives you a free month or two or something.

Lost Odyssey. The game started off so fantastic, but it just got crappier and crappier.

The actual battle system was great. It was mostly the story direction that killed it. It just went into the anime/jRPG standards that I hate so much.

At least the short stories were great. Why they didn't make the actual storyline as good as these is beyond me.

Yeah wasn't it crazy that it started out so cool and mysterious but then took a nosedive and was like practically a parody? I'm pretty certain that the scene where you have to snowboard collect sticks is pretty much where the game's story completely jumps the shark.

I think that it is a really good game in spite of its terrible writing though, and delivers some really powerful scenes here and I there. I suspect that the game was built around a small number of important scenes and that the rest of the game was sort of awkwardly filled in.

I like Wal-mart.

I also own WoW (got as a present) but have never played it - I don't feel like spending $15 on a game I already own. I hate that business model on principle. I prefer the DLC model (I'll pay for the parts I want).

Well you don't own the game. You own the ability to play the game. You don't own the newspaper or any other subscription service.

Well, I own a copy of the game that cost $40 to purchase. Other games that I've purchased I can play, and play as much or as little as I want. And once I get a newspaper or magazine I can keep it and read it as many times as I want, even years from now. Kind of like DLC.

I will not pay a monthly fee to play a game I already own. Nor will I pay the newspaper again to read last Tuesday's paper.

yeah, something like that happened to a friend of mine. He wanted this one weapon that must be very rare in the game and started to bid for it on ebay. He was such a friggin retard that he kept on bidding and bought the thing for 14,000 dollars. WTF.

Well I was talking about a real island in the real world.

Anyway I hope your friend didn't actually pay and that it was a joke auction.

That is the most fucked up thing Ive ever heard, 14,000 for a weapon in an online game. ONLINE GAME!!! fuck I hope you gave your friend a beat down for that, shit if he were my friend I would have haha.
