Can someone photoshop a movie poster of Evil Dead, but instead showing Dan Ryckert's face AND the text saying "Evil Dan" instead? Some Evil Dead pictures I like for example:

The face image of Dan as the moon in Majora's Mask was pretty great, maybe use whichever photo that came from?!

Also hooray for Patrick playing some other mario maker levels, praise the Stank!!

This is an honest question. I simply cannot fathom paying roughly $75 for a new console game. To the best of my memory, I only remember spending full price on Catherine several years ago just after it was released. Another related question, how do people justify pre-orders? The case of AssCreedUnity and the Battlefield games comes to mind, what if the game turns out to be terrible? What then? There goes $75 and a lot of frustration.

But at the same time I can't really fathom someone spending over $1000 dollars on card packs in Hearthstone in the hopes of building a complete cosmetically gold card collection..

For me: there are of course a few games that I would LOVE to play as soon as possible. Namely, MGSV, Persona5 and FF7 Remake. FF7 pretty much solidified my decision to buy a PS4.. eventually. But i'm not in a rush to play them and would feel fine waiting another year or so to play the games.

Also a few months ago I've started subscribing to PS+ and taking advantage of the deals and free games. For example, recently I bought Sleeping Dogs and Just Cause 2 for roughly $10. And it was certainly a blast (just finished Sleeping Dogs, and a few hours into JC2, which is awesome), but I thought, "man, $60 for a 12 hour game (referring to Sleeping Dogs), man I feel sorry for people who paid full price for this."

And that's true for a lot of games. It's just really confusing when I see people complaining about their pre-orders, or games not working, when it was their decision to spend their money, full price on a game that isn't out yet. Or get a game on impulse first day and complain about it not being worth it. Like... it was your money. I don't get it. You could have waited for more information about the product to make a more educated spending decision, but no.

I don't buy the "well I paid money for this so I expect it to work to my full expectations" argument, because that's the problem, those are your expectations, and you made a decision based on those expectations and the limited amount of info. available, to SPEND your money on it anyways. There is NO contract involved b/w the customer and game developer, in spending money at the store to buy a game. If it works to your expectations, GREAT! You can trust this developer/supplier more in the future, when you have to make another purchasing decision from them! If it doesn't work to your expectations, too bad! But you still have information on the developer to inform your future purchasing decisions, namely.. the next time you think of purchasing something from them you have reason to doubt that they will live up to your expectations!

Just like how if you go to a restaurant and receive bad service, you know not to eat there anymore, and not buy their food.

For me, in terms of games, this means Capcom. Fuck you capcom. How many iterations of SF4? Yeah I feel kind of bad about spending X amount of dollars on different versions of SF4, even if I didn't buy any of the DLC and skipped over AE (I bought Vanilla, Super and Ultra). But ugh, thinking about what they might do with SF5, just makes me say "nope, I know how you work Capcom, based on past purchasing experience, and the level of enjoyment I got from them relative to money and time spent in it was not really worth it, so no thankyou on SF5". BUT of course like anything in life, I'm open to being surprised, but I'll need some convincing, more information and good arguments to persuade me that anything Capcom puts out in the future is worth investing in.

Conclusion: Ugh, man I feel like that sort of turned into a rant. But a lot of the times it just feels like people are being reaaallly irrational when it comes to talking about games. But we here at GB are rational people... right?

Do people not give much thought when pre-ordering or paying full price for a game? Or is it just the media/forums that makes it seem like each individual spends lots of money on games, when in reality most individuals, like myself, only pay full price for a game once a year or something? Sort of like how the complainers are heard the most, but we never know about the 'average' spender?

Anyways that was fun to get some of these thoughts out. Thankyou for reading full, if you did. Also please leave comments, would love to hear different perspectives, or cases. Like how often have you paid full price/pre-ordered a game? For me I never pre-order, and pay full price game maybe once a year or something. :o

Yes I played FF7 roughly when it came out, and I was roughly 5 years old. It took me a few years to beat and I needed a guide. FF7 was THE GAME that made me care about video games. Music in video games (thankyou Uematsu!), characters in video games, story, graphics, diverse and memorable locations/environments. Before that yeah my older brothers had a snes and nes, but those games I didn't really care about. Super Mario, Metroid. But FF7! Holy cow, partly members, limit breaks, magic, items, 3d environments, CG cinematics! It was literally unlike anything my 5-yearold-self had ever seen before! I didn't start playing right away, I watched my older brother play. But soon enough I started playing. =P

As I said it took a few years to beat, I needed a guide, a few restarts from the beginning, but I did it! And ahhh the credits... the music! The ending cinematic!

Anyways yeah, since playing FF7, for the whole PS1 era (which was basically my early childhood), I LOVED the FF series! 7, 8, 9 and Tactics. After X-2 I stopped really caring about the series though. =( I bought the X/X-2 HD Remaster, and had a good time replaying X/X-2 with the updated graphics, and analyzing the story/themes a little more deeply this time around. Partly also because a part of me wants to support Square, and hope that they can get back on their feet with some amazing RPGs.

I was NOT one of those people 'begging' for a remake. I still have the ps1 game discs, and I can play them whenever I want, with all the awesome hilarious polygonal animations. But man... if they're gonna do a huge modern-gen remake, sure I'll take it! And damn that makes me hype. I'm pretty sure I'm just as nervous/excited about the remake as every other fan (like how are they going to do THAT part, i wonder how this part will look, how the music will sound etc.), but i'm sure that's the same as waiting for any other thing to be released, right?

Hello are you guys still active? Just got into the game last week, and it's a lot more fun than what I remember trying to dive into DOTA2 with no experience! Haha, instead of focusing on getting the last hit, I can focus more on map awareness, objectives and teamwork. So this is my first moba i'm really digging into, and its a lot of fun. Would be more fun with friendly peeps to party with xD.

So, please add me >.>" Bnet: AURON570#1262

Hi i'm recently playing through ViceCity, SanAndreas and GTA4 for the first time, and suddenly remembered that a while back there was a sort of joke review of GTA5 with commentary. But i can't find it or remember the title of the video, but I do remember some jokes in the video so here are a few:

- He's in the shower, trying to get the temperature just right, but ends up killing himself due to it being too hot. "Oh oh.. i'm dead"

- Trying to RPG a helicopter, but needs to take his dog home.

- preparing for a party, but doesn't know what to do with all the extra shrimp, so has to put them in the fridge.

Does anyone remember this video? I would really love to watch it again, I remember bursting out laughing so hard at the shower part.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew a safe, reliable way of acquiring the Japanese versions of FF7 and/or FF8, for PC or PSN. Preferable PC because it runs faster, but either is fine.

I'm interested in having some more light practice with my Japanese, and I thought what better way to do it than revisiting 2 of my favorite FF games?! xD

Edit: Oh, I just found an article on Kotaku showing how to create a Japanese PSN account and buy/download Japanese stuff. Does anyone have personal experience with this? I'm only worried about potential currency exchange/credit card issues. I should be able to use my regular credit card I use for making purchases on my regular PSN account right?

Edit: Ack nevermind, it looks like Kotaku recommends simply buying PSN card codes from Play-Asia.com. They are a good vendor I assume? I don't have personal experience with them, but I have heard of them!

I want to see the statistic of how many people who told Clem to shoot Lee at the end of season 1 also had Clem shoot Kenny at the end of season 2. I did NOT shoot Lee or Kenny. And I'm still shocked that so many people made Clem do that. You don't just up and shoot a guy because he's having a rough time! At the end of the day Kenny just wanted what was best for the CHILDREN, even back in season 1. He had a plan and stuck with it.

It was everyone ELSE who was constantly making a fuss over Kenny and interpreting ALL of his actions as crazy. And Arvo ugh... so he was playing the "oh my sister died, pity me" card. I felt betrayed when Bonnie and Mike were leaving with Arvo. I had a mind to shoot them right there, but deep down just wanted everyone to stick together. It was almost like the incident in season 1 where you find out Ben is slipping supplies to the bandits... UGH. Personally I spared and saved Ben because... I try to believe in being nice and stuff (or something..)

Was anyone else confused when they got to the house and Mike/Bonnie (don't remember) say to Kenny "This is your fault and you know it!" What are they saying is Kenny's fault? Luke falling through the ice? Them walking through the cold forest to find the house? They were ALL aboard letting Arvo 'help' us by letting Arvo lead us to the house. Then once they get to the house they start blaming Kenny for what? "Oh let's go back, Arvo wasn't lying about the supplies". Or maybe they're just blaming Kenny for beating Arvo? But then why use the wording "it's your fault"? They made it clear that there was no other way around to the house, so it's not like Kenny's treatment of Arvo led to Arvo leading them across the ice... and even if Arvo had used the ice run away, why would that matter? They would still have made it to the house and took the supplies, had a car, and a temporary shelter.

In hindsight alot of the criticisms of Kenny seem baseless. Although I have to say, Kenny's voice actor did a really AMAZING job of pushing Kenny to the edge, getting angry, accidentally telling Clem to 'fucking go away', or yelling when others don't like his plan.

Mychoices:

• Went for cover: as someone mentioned, it looked like the baby was safe, the Russians didn't look like babykillers. I thought it was kind of silly that either way, Luke still gets shot in the leg... I guess they needed to prime the 'carefully walking across the ice scene'. And I guess they needed someone to point to and say "oh [X] needs to rest, Kenny SLOW DOWN you crazy mofo".. since Rebecca died.
• Covered for Luke: Initially I covered for Luke, but wasn't expecting Bonnie to go to help right after saying the ice would be too heavy for her. Once I saw them BOTH fall through the ice I was like "NOPE, redo". I'm happier with the way Going to Help Luke played out. Luke being pulled down by a walker reminded me of Titanic... Never let go Clem.. never let go..
• Threatened Mike: Wasn't much of a threat though. And all they had to say was "Clem we're sorry for backstabbing you, Kenny, AJ and Jane, but we have to leave, kthnxbai".
• Stayed with Kenny: I really felt like crying during the fight scene, Clem with the gun in her hand. I couldn't do it. Then the baby is safe, showing that Jane just wanted to kill Kenny and have Clem as her replacement younger sister. How old was Jane again? I was still sad for Jane, but lost a lot of respect for her. Again it was another case of people searching for reasons to believe that Kenny has gone crazy. Bonnie and Mike decided to leave, Jane decided to kill Kenny. I bet Jane convinced herself that she was "saving" Clem, I don't blame her, but hiding the baby as provocation, that's just LOW.
• Stayed at Wellington with AJ: Man.. I had to leave Lee at the end of season1 and now I'm leaving Kenny at the end of season2. I thought it was really funny that they included the "Is Christa there" dialogue option. It's kind of like a running joke/lingering hope. 'We made it to Wellington but IS CHRISTA HERE?' THAT is the million dollar question! I wanted to cry again seeing Clem leaving another longtime friend... it's almost like Kenny is dying. I just hope that Wellington is actually a good place, not like Crawford or Carver's. Well... the name IS "WELLington".. get it? Anyways they were well-off enough to spare a whole bag of supplies to strangers, so.. it's gotta be good right? RIGHT?

Anyways it's fun to read other's justifications of their choices.

Just got the retail version. O.o" Unsurprisingly I still suck at this game xD. Feel free to add me for light play.. psn: AURON570.

Quick question about general table manners that has been bugging me for a while. I'm the quiet type, so usually at the dinner table I spend more time eating and listening to others talk than talking myself.

Sometimes when my mouth is full, someone (in this case my mom) will ask me a question when I clearly have my mouth full and stare at me waiting for an answer. Usually one of two things happen, either I garble out an answer she can't understand, at which point she scolds me for speaking unclearly and with my mouth full OR I continue chewing intending to answer after I have properly chewed and swallowed the food stuff (choking is no joke). At which point my mom repeats the question thinking I'm deaf, and she along with whoever else is at the table stares at me waiting for an answer.

I don't really see a good way of dealing with this situation, and it kind of feels like I'm being mildly verbally assaulted each time this (or something like it) happens. When I raised this point to her, saying that I can't talk with my mouth full and how I think it's pretty rude to knowingly push someone to talk who has their mouth full. When I told her this, she just sarcastically replied "ohh okay I'll make sure to not talk to you when you have your mouth full".

So my question is, how do you "properly" excuse yourself from talking with your mouth full?

You guys mean $79 right? (tax included) Or is this another one of those "things are cheaper in US" things? I guess this will still be great for people who have a ps4, but have not played Last of Us yet. I have trouble imagining how much better it could look, but I guess Ground Zeroes might be a good example of console graphics differences for a game.
