Uncharted 2 wasn't surprising but looked beautiful, the combat and platforming were mixed well, the combat looked more polished, and enemies died in a reasonable amount of shots.  Everything I was hoping for.  Really looking forward to that game.

Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed II, The Last Guardian, Agent (even with no info), Alan Wake, all the Bioware stuff... a lot of great looking games.

I still remember that sequence in Indigo Prophesy when you fought that guy on the roof and had to pull the triggers so fast that I literally did not have the muscle endurance to do it and was so sore when I finally managed to do it after many tries.  That game played like absolute shit.  At least make the quick time events easy.

I don't know why I even bothered.  By that point the story was such a mess that it was not worth it.  The beginning was so interesting (especially the scene in the bathroom) that I stuck with it though.

" Yeah...this game still hasn't peaked my interest. "
Same.  Indigo Prophesy was interesting early on while the story made sense and the gameplay wasn't too frustrating, and from previews it seems like they learned their lesson, but it still doesn't seem fun to play.  You hold down a trigger to walk around like you're a car?  Huh?  Do they realize we have analog sticks these days?

I don't want to play a game full of quick time events.  I'd rather it just was a straight up adventure game or have actual gameplay.  Maybe the story will be good enough to get me interested but it better be damn good.

There's a big thread on the MS conference up top.

" its too bad Jay Leno went and moved down a slot. Hopefully local stations get fed up and just broadcast over it.  "
It is pretty crazy to bump out the local news that way.  I read some station said they wouldn't air it but NBC went apeshit and quelled it quickly.  For NBC corporate it makes sense, since it's a cheap show and love him or hate him Leno gets ratings and will probably continue to do so.


Everyone should also check out this article from the NY Times on Conan's move.  It was pretty interesting and covered some of the behind the scenes stuff, like the politics behind the Leno move (where I read about that mess with a local station and Leno).

" Weird timing, I was just about to go to Hulu after one last scan of Off-Topic. Looking forward to it, but it is such a bummer they left Joel in NYC. That man was creepy with a capital K. In a good way, of course.So, uh, here I go off to Hulu.... see you in an hour GB! "
Ah great call on Joel.  I have to imagine Joel didn't want to move?  He was such a great part of the show.

Sounds fine but I will never rap karaoke style, and I imagine hardly any other white dudes will.   I love hip-hop but it's just not something I'm trying to do.  It's just asking for trouble.

I'm a big Conan fan and was happy to see him sticking to his guns humor wise.  It'll be really interesting to see how the show goes once he settles in, but last night was good.  Andy was funny (hopefully he's in  the show a little more once it gets going) and Ferrell killed.  Haven't seen him that funny in a long time, but he always brings it on Conan's show.

" i didnt know the avatars were contortionists!!!
this is why i thought sony's controller was a bit more impressive, because of how precise it was. 
"
Also the fact that I hardly have an interest in motion controllers as is, but I want to at least have something physical in my hand so I don't feel like a dick.  I mean MS probably can and will do the same for their camera, but that's just going off the demo they showed.
