What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Posted by Owen Good at 7:00 AM on August 24, 2008
McWhertor is in Germany so I get custody of Lazy Sundays this weekend. As for what I'm playing, I got Bionic Commando: Rearmed and the Fable II: Pub Games on Thursday, and I'm thrilled with both. You know why else I like them? Means I get to game on a super quiet Xbox, which lately for me has sounded like a tuberculosis patient gargling pea gravel. And why is that interesting? Hit the jump for an honest to God IM transcript with Bash and Brian last night, and then tell us what games you're
not destroying playing this weekend.
10:35 PM
Owen G.: i want to do a post, with audio. what is noisier, owen's 360 or his fridge[walks over to machine and attempts to "fix" noise. uh oh.]
Owen G.: tell me why i turned the fucking thing horizontal with the disc spinning, like a stupe
10:40 PM
Brian A.: lol
Brian A.: i think your xbox is noiser
Owen G.: holy shit i think i just ruined the madden disc10:45 PM
Brian C.: yeah thats a huge no no
Brian C.: results in disc scratching
Owen G.: god damn
Owen G.: there is a huge circular scar around the edge
Owen G.: i;m serious this disc is torched
Owen G.: shit now i actually have to *buy* madden to run this league
Owen G.: that's the stupidest sober thing i have done this year
Owen G.: i cant believe i did that. a four-year-old knows not to do that.

Super Mario RPG, and if I can be arsed to get my N64 working I could really go for some Donkey Kong 64. Man, or some Diddy Kong Racing. No games excite me more than N64 era Rare.
So, was SMRPG always this short? I downloaded it yesterday and I've already got five out of seven stars. RPGs, almost as a rule, tend to make you wander around looking for your next quest whereas in SMRPG seems to put you exactly where you need to be every time. It's odd.
But I've seen the Link and Samus cameos, so I'm happy.

There are a bunch of games I've been playing recently, but I think I might end up just playing God of War: CoO on the PSP.
Well, no.. Sunday is my usual Guitar Hero: Aerosmith day too, so probably that as well.

Well now that I've realized that my copy of HL2 (PS3 Orange Box) was on HARD and that's the reason I was making no progress last time I played a few months ago... I'll probably be playing that.
Though I hate these goddamn vehicle levels. Like... a LOT! Are there any more after the dune buggy level? I wanna run and gun... and whack stuff with my crowbar.

My main mission will be to collect the rest of the trophies/medals in Uncharted this weekend- I'm down to about 10 to go! If I have time, I'll be making an Echochrome level for upload as well.

Yeah, my 360 successfully ate both Mass Effect and GTAIV. I had to take both to a disc repairer.
This weekend, I'll most likely be playing Oblivion (I never got around to finishing the Shivering Isles, and I figure post-Fallout 3 I'm unlikely to go back to it).

Maybe finish Uncharted on hard (just bought the game) and some Warhawk. By next weekend I hope to be playing Uncharted on Crushing difficulty and getting more trophies. Will Warhawk's trophies be out by then? If so I will be playing that the most. I will try to fit in some Siren: Blood Curse in there somewhere. Just about done with the game.

I got this weird CD at the flea market today. It says it has $500 worth of software in it - in reality it's just a bunch of full versions of old shareware software, packaged together as a legitimate bundle. The CD is from 1993, I just love getting old CDs like this.
I'll probably be adding all those games to MobyGames too. These games must never be forgotten.

@Reetesh: Can I just say that seeing your avatar fills me with glee every single time?
I'm playing orange box... And people were certainly right... It's HORRIBLE on the PS3... Framerate drops and loading times... People can blame the bluray for loading times all they want, but when loading a quicksave from the SAME AREA you've been in takes 15 seconds... IT SHOULDN"T EVEN HAVE TO LOAD ANY NEW INFO!! And it's loading the quicksave FROM THE HARDDRIVE! That's just bad planning.

Pretty much Old-Skool weekend for me. My 360 won't be back til' Monday or Tuesday, but I found a copy of Super Mario All-Stars at the thrift store yesterday for 1.91 and popped it in. Played it for an hour or two last night, as well as the old NES game Pinball Quest, an under appreciated classic with three very well done tables, as well as an RPG where your character is a pin ball and you move your flippers upward as you progress. Sorta like a simpler version of Odama, except for the voice and the strat. This really needs some re-release, if it hasn't got one on the VC.
Probably mess with my Genny and Sega CD later...

Trying to finish Half-Life 2 (already did the two subsequent episodes, go figure). Might do some Civ Revolution. Maybe see if I can convince my wife to play Tekken 5. She used to play Tekken 1 with me back in the day...
I tried the Force Unleashed demo on both Xbox 360 and PS3. It's exactly the same. However, the PS3 track record on third-party games is worse, so I'll get the Xbox 360 version and hope it doesn't RROD (I'm on box #3).

If you own a 360 and you haven't tried this new Galaga Legions game that dropped on Wednesday, you should feel a deep, cancerous shame right above your gut.
The game is fucking shooter heaven. It's like a bullet hell game, only you can KILL the bullets. The question is... can you kill them FAST enough? It's like trying to hold back a flood with a flamethrower, and it's a lot of fun.

Sorry to hear about your disk, Owen. Please don't beat yourself up too much. The technology to have disk players gracefully handle bumps and movement has been widely available for two decades or so. We're almost three years into the 360's shelf life and MS still can't be bothered to put decent drives in the thing. And people call the Wii last gen.

Posted 9:25 AM 24/8/08

If it makes you feel any better, Owen, I can only play GTAIV when my PS3 is horizontal. When I stand it up the game just loops the opening animation.

Oh and what's the stupidest thing you did drunk this year? You dressed in drag and tried to sell your wares at the nearest street corner?! C'mon admit it! =)

@BigDerf: Wait, you're too broke to buy Q4B, but you can buy Tod? Or did you rent it? I wonder, would ToD end up being cheaper if you rent it at Blockbuster? I believe it's $7.95 + tax for 5 days. It would probably take me a week or two to beat it if I'm good enough (without getting/unlocking/accomplishing everything). Does this game have skill points like the previous games? I didn't really think about it before, but the skill points system was like the precursor to Achievements on the 360! So, without Skill Points, we wouldn't have our precious Achievements, & without Achievements, we wouldn't have Trophies on the PS3! Everything's come full circle!!
Today, I played The Force Unleashed demo again on the PS3, but on the medium difficulty. It wasn't that much harder. I also played some more with The Last Guy! That game is just so fun! I want to get the whole game!

It sucks hearing about the disc getting mulched. I know, I almost did it to my friend's 360 while he played gears. the 360 started making sounds like it was a saw cutting concrete. Needless to say, my friend wasn't happy about it, but I was quite amused...heh.. turned on my ps2 in the same room, tilted it diagnoally and said to him: "hmmph!" End of story.
(the gears disc is still grinded along the edges till this day)

This week I started yet another play through of the Half-Life 2's with a conscious intent of plot/story/gameplay study. It's been just long enough since I last played them that It feels fresh (still jumping at Ravenholm, etc), but not getting so frustrated at things like "Water Hazard."
Also went to buy "Wizard of Gore" but couldn't find a NR version.
Oh yeah, helping my Dad cut down trees.
Thats what I'm playing this weekend.

Since this is on the second page, you probably won't see this, but here is how you rectify this situation.
Go buy a new copy of Madden 09 at Best Buy, open it up, take the new disc and replace it with a scratched disc. Bring it back and get a replacement sealed copy. Take the sealed copy back to Walmart and get a $60.00 gift card. You've officially lost no money.
And yes, I know I'm a dick for suggesting that he rip off not just one, but two major corporations. But seriously, would you really want to spend $60.00 on a replacement for a game you already own?

Madden 09 and - drum roll please - LAIR!
Yep, I never finished LAIR, and am interested to see if the controls are really as bad as advertised. I do remember that it was more fun than indicated by some reviewers.
Madden 09 is my first serious attempt at learning how to play a Madden game. Boy, is it complicated! I still don't like the defensive POV (playing defense from the offense's backfield), but learning playbooks, reading defenses, trying to remember the myriad of options like audibles, etc. makes this one of the toughest games I have ever played. It runs as smooth as silk on the PS3, the graphics are quite nice (even on a small CRT HDTV), the animations are much improved. If you haven't played Madden in a while, give this one a try. It is really well done. and let's give EA a little credit this time for really trying to improve the game.
