Which company would this be; if it's Capcom, it's never too far. :rolleyes:But, since we're talking about Sony, it's probably too far, yes. *Nods*Think its 2k running the show? Bioshock is a multi platform series. Just not on the Wii.Sucks to be you guys.Ah, right, it's Rockstar's series. Still, they haven't exactly canceled something right before releasing a prologue to the main game everyone wanted, so they're still better than Capcom. =P Exactly. Though, he might've considered those trailers new. Alucard wasn't a surprise, we had heard about that a couple days before. xDBioshock is an Irrational Games product, which is owned by 2K. Anywho, what games did you guys hope would be revealed or talked about at E3? I would've loved to see Alan Wake 2, which was rumored to make an appearance according to some tweets by one of the game's producers. Last year, Microsoft also showed off Ryse, developed by Crytek, which was supposed to be a "hardcore" Kinect-only game. Also missing from Microsoft's presser last year? Blades of Time, Overstrike, Defiance, and the open-world zombie game that sounded intriguing, Class3. I would've liked information on Grand Theft Auto 5 and Bioshock Infinite, as well.

Hope you had a great day, TMD! Party over, topic closed.

These awesome people I know have made it pretty fun. I remember all of those days quite vividly. I think a few of the topics were nuked in the data loss, though. Hah. Not as long as you're still here. <3 <3 <3 Thanks! Yeah, I couldn't imagine being powerless on these forums. It's a part of life now.

What the what, you guys. I just remembered... Nine years on this website, as of May 29th. I have been a staff member for seven of those years. That's a long stinkin' time.

Sounds good. Can you pay with Paypal?Yes indeed, but not immediately, I'm afraid.Ok. Do you have an estimate on when you might be able to pay? Sorry mate, the UD helmet is already on hold. You can, but I won't be held liable if your money gets lost/stolen in the mail. I'll put Kopaka on hold. Do you want anything else?

Sure, Microsoft didn't demo many of their exclusive games. What does that even matter? Are people so short sighted that if they don't get a live demo, an announcement trailer can't hold their attention? Microsoft had Halo 4, Forza, Gears, Wrecketeer, Ascend, LocoCycle and Matter. Of those, Microsoft focused on the biggest and best: Halo 4. We have a whole week of E3 to demo the other games that are far along the production cycle. Splinter Cell and Tomb Raider were demoed, but aren't exclusive (but are getting exclusive DLC, I believe). Nike Fitness and Dance Central 3 were demoed. Microsoft had plenty of games. There's a disconnect between what gamers want out of the Xbox and what they're using the Xbox to do. Not to long ago, Microsoft revealed that a larger proportion of people who own Xboxs are streaming video content. So what did Microsoft do? Gave people 24/7 ESPN streaming, NBA and NHL apps, Nickelodeon apps, more Paramount Pictures apps. None of these things are bad. Giving consumers more access to video content? Dear God Microsoft, how could you! You didn't demo enough new games! Any new AAA IPs we see as exclusives are going to be held for Microsoft's next console. And just to make this clear, I'm not airing my frustrations at you. This is more of a response to comments I've seen on many other places on the Internet. You've definitely got a point on that. The Kinect features in Splinter Cell were unique enough. I didn't even use any voice commands in Mass Effect 3 even though I own a Kinect. Voice commands simply seem to be the best way of enhancing core games with the power of Kinect. Anything else would be superfluous and clunky. This year's presentation was leaps and bounds better than previous years. We didn't have Disneyland or Kinectimals demos. 5 minutes of Usher was hardly worth all of the uprising it's garnered. Xbox has mass market appeal now and apparently people are really...ticked about it.

I hope both of you fellows had fine birthdays. Party over, topic closed.

A few big name companies had pre-E3 press conferences today. I watched Microsoft's presentation and parts of Ubisoft's. Halo 4 looks genuinely amazing. The new enemies, environments, weapons, gameplay and multiplayer videos I've seen have completely reassured me that 343 knows what they're doing with the franchise. That live-action trailer was pretty intense. The rest of Microsoft's presser was interesting up until they brought out Usher to announce Dance Central 3. His performance simply went on for too long. Other than that, we got glimpses of what Windows 8 and SmartGlass will bring to the table. Xbox Music is just a rebranding of Zune Marketplace. We're getting more Gears of War (good thing), Tomb Raider looked hot; Splinter Cell and, God forbid, Black Ops 2 looks mildly entertaining. Forza Horizon looks like a fun new take on the series. And we're getting some more exclusive arcade titles coming out next year. Anyone who says Microsoft didn't show off any games clearly isn't looking hard enough. Assassin's Creed 3 sold me at PAX East and now they've released the naval gameplay videos and YESOHMYGOD. Need for Speed: Most Wanted is basically a new Burnouth (good thing). Rayman Legends looks great. Star Wars 1313 caught my attention (mostly with those ridiculous graphics). I'm beginning to wonder if some of these games are being developed for 360 AND the next Xbox so that customers have more options. Watch_Dogs, a brand new IP from Ubisoft, has piqued my interests. It seems to have an action-thriller edge too it, which is right up my alley. The Last of Us, as expected, features stunning visuals from the Uncharted creators. The gameplay didn't blow me out of the water, but I'll probably keep an eye on it. Not that I even have a Playstation 3.... Not to mention, the Summer of Arcade titles for XBLA all look pretty excellent. Dust: An Elysian Tale is finally hitting the market after 3 years. Deadlight looks interesting. Wrecketeer could be fun to play with my nephew. Nearly every comment I read about Microsoft's press conference is all "omg kinect everywhere!" What's interesting is how little Microsoft actually talked about Kinect other than the small enhancements from a few games and apps. You can whisper to hostiles in Splinter Cell. You can call plays in Madden. You can voice control the new NBA and NFL apps. Big deal? These integrations are unobtrusive. Everyone's got their undies up in a bunch because Microsoft hasn't announced any new AAA IPs. That will come next year, when we get to see the new Xbox. It's going to be great come tomorrow when all the people that were accusing Microsoft of "more of the same games" get super stoked for a new Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Starfox. But hey, at least they'll be in HD now! Now I'm just super excited for PAX East again...

Dude, this is awesome! Congratulations on your internship. I'm pretty jealous.

I'm going to be watching the Microsoft press conference tomorrow. Even better, I'll be able to stream if right from my Xbox.Games I'm looking forward to:Halo 4Mass Effect 3 DLCAlan Wake 2Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2Tomb RaiderDishonoredThe Elder Scrolls OnlineZelda HD? Or a proper Metroid FPS againGears of War: JudgementThat Crytek Kinect game that's kinda disappearedRayman LegendsAssassin's Creed 3Bioshock InfiniteBorderlands 2Beyond Good & Evil 2?Grand Theft Auto 5A new Fable sans Peter Molyneux?Torchlight 2Anything from Supergiant GamesI'm highly interested in Windows 8 integration with Xbox360/720. Microsoft has done a great job of pushing entertainment to the 360, I'd love to get more TV streaming news. I doubt very seriously that they will talk about the 360 successor at all, though. The 360 is still selling ridiculously well.I'll also tune into the Sony conference to see what they try and do to resuscitate the PS3 and Vita.Watching the Nintendo conference should be just as embarrassing as watching that Zombie Game commercial on the pre-event video they released today.

Excellent. Send me a PM and we'll finish this deal. How does $20 sound? And yes, I can send worldwide, but shipping will be a little bit extra.

Sounds good. Can you pay with Paypal? I'll negotiate, but I'd still like to make a little bit of money off these things. I could do $30 for both of those.Seems right for me. Let's do this for 30$ Excellent. Can you send money via Paypal?

This is the first bundle I bought. I already have Bastion (and a signed copy of the soundtrack!) and Limbo on XBL but these games were so good that I bought them again. I'm really looking forward to Amnesia and Psychonauts!

The Movies & Music forum rules state that incomplete videos or ideas are not allowed. Since toa electro is simply asking for feedback on his idea, this topic will stay in GD for now.

Sorry, but you are only allowed one trade topic at a time. Topic closed.

I'll negotiate, but I'd still like to make a little bit of money off these things. I could do $30 for both of those. Just the Kanohi list for $7. Each mask should have its own price. See my answer above. That's a little low. I'd like at least $15 for all three of the Haus.

Bepop, Brotherhood AND Bleach? Word.

These types of memes always remind me of that one episode of Metalocalypse

Man, this is so much fun. Van Der Beek's so dreamy.

I wonder what The BEEK would say?

Don't mess with Der Beek!

I docked all your points cause lulz.

Moving to COT as I don't believe a topic like this has been made since the upgrade...

Thanks, guys! I appreciate all the support, too.

So here I am: sitting on my bed, actively avoiding lying on my back, sides or stomach because of how tender and burnt I am. I just returned home from a very short, yet exceedingly fun trip to Destin, Florida. This trip was, essentially, a graduation present to myself. I met and had some good hangs with pretty rad people. Beach volleyball was super fun and wore me out. Last Saturday, May 12th, 2012, I graduated from Auburn University at Montgomery with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Systems Development. The ceremony itself was short and to-the-point since my school is relatively small, especially compared to main campus in Auburn. Afterwards, I headed back to my sister's house to enjoy a lovely meal with half of my family and my best friend. I am extremely happy to say that I've graduated from college, but the anticipation of starting this brand new part of my life is both exhilarating and terrifying. I'm excited to start working and put my degree to use so I can make my way towards my goals and dreams. On the other hand, I'm at a point where I could be leaving everything I know behind me. I'm not afraid of making mistakes or trying new things; I'm scared of leaving everything and everyone I've known for the greater part of 22 years. Granted, we have amazing technology now - Skype, AIM, social networking, and even Xbox Live - that makes connection across vast distances much easier. Still, not being able to take my nephew to the park on a sunny afternoon or make my twin nieces laugh deeply saddens me. I say all of that because there's a growing chance that I may be moving to North Carolina, should this job opportunity I've acted upon continue to flesh out. I replied to a call-back email tonight. If they like my answers, I can expect an interview soon. One of my sisters lived in NC for about a year or so and she's only had positive things to say about the place. Needless to say, I thoroughly believe I would enjoy living in North Carolina, specifically Durham. I've never done a professional interview, so even thinking about that is making my stomach crawl. Hah. But I don't want to get ahead of myself. I'm taking this process one step at a time. I'm still sending my resume to other places, in the event that the NC position falls through. Ever since I finished classes, I've found myself dwelling on a few worst-case scenarios that my imagination conjures from the realm of impossibilities. Dread and panic fills me for a good 5 minutes as I ponder about all of the responsibilities that are going to be shifted to my shoulders. It's completely futile, though. I never let myself dwell on these negative situations for too long. Otherwise, I waste too much time and I wouldn't be able to make the best possible decisions towards accomplishing my goals and ambitions. College treated me well. I made a couple of really good friends that I'd like to stay in contact with. I may have realized I wasn't in the most appropriate degree too far into completion. I aim to take care of that with Graduate school, as I've said on my blog before. All in all, I had a pretty solid experience. I'm actually going to miss college.
