" I've always been under the assumption that if I don't have to pay for it, it isn't even worth my time. This is also why I only have sex with prostitutes and always travel at least 25 mph over the speed limit, often at the same time. "
Really? No responses to this? "Often at the same time," is cracking me up. I wish you were serious, because then it would be easy to hate you. Hahah.
As for free games, @Jeffgerstman mentioned Trackmania briefly, in a caption, and it's fantastic. Usually the races are super fast, and the only thing you're racing for is a "hot lap" best time, so you can drop in/out whenever; it's not a situation where you've got a bag of cheetos and three cans of Pepsi, setting up shop for a raid. I have nothing against this, of course, but it seems that most of the free[mium] games currently and projected into the future, are trying to emulate the scope of retail products, and failing unbelievably every time because the budget just isn't there. As everyone keeps repeating, they need to increase the quality of the game, not the degree of which is steals other games' successful game mechanics and setting.
I'm sort of rambling, free games are terrible unless they do one thing well and don't try much harder than that. Succeed there, and... then I don't have the slightest idea how they convince their audience to give them dollars. To make it rain, as it were.
"No one is more authentic than Scorpion." is the funniest thing I've read all day, with the pre-req of having listened to the Bombcast earlier. They were talking about Super Popstar Guitar Band Revolution [with no bass] or whatever. Apparently Kid Rock and Scorpion are quite the authenticity duo.
Yeah right! That video was super awesome. I haven't been excited about MK since the second game, but now I'm psyched. Baraka being back makes my life, he was always my favorite when I played in the local arcade in elementary school. :)
Hopefully the game isn't terrible. MK vs. DC was pretty close to horrible; it was on the same end of the continuum, at the very least. That game bummed me out, you know? I like Mortal Kombat and Batman a whole bunch, and somehow it was fucked up. It was like really digging chocolate and peanut butter, and then someone handing you a Reese Cup that tastes like a dirty sock.
