We've had Netflix on and off. And Amazon Prime / Instant Video too. We tend to just get it for a month, watch the couple of shows we're interested in and then cancel it. We're not huge Tv watchers so constantly having a subscription would be a waste of money. It's a great service though, so handy. You're right about going back to normal Tv watching though...

I played the original Battlefield and enjoyed it and I used to play Unreal Tournament a lot, but the only FPS I would get excited about these days is if they made a new Timesplitters game, but the chances of that are slim to none :(

Developers who make FPSs tend to go for style over substance with uber realistic graphics that most Nintendo consoles wouldn't have been able to handle. Plus they (for some reason) are always portrayed as childish and that doesn't fit with the gritty FPS image..

Hmm. Haven't tried Amazon Prime yet, not a big fan of spending a hundred dollars at one time. Month to month is preferred.

Nintendo's always been weird in that way. They very much like a cutesy form of presentation that people equate with childishness.
Haven't ever minded the aesthetic personally, if anything it does make the absurdity of it that much more silly.

Although, I would absolutely love to see a Mario game with potential psychological aspects being dug into.

Things like -

Mario's self-worth and identity being based around saving a princess, causing him to pursue wildly different occupations when he isn't doing so due to a deep-seated and long-standing identity crisis, combined with an ever-present fear that he's in actuality been hallucinating the whole Mushroom Kingdom thing for decades, but is actually strapped down to a sanitarium bed in New Jersey,

The princess who apparently has issues concerning a feeling of utter superfluousness when she isn't being kidnapped and then fought over, that question of who she actually is when she isn't being fought over by two guys who seem to be using her as an excuse to engage in their pointless, neverending rivalry/attempted murder/hidden flirtation,

The reasoning behind Bowser's intensely obsessive need to possess someone who has no personality and pretty much exists solely as an object, the question of whether or not it's a matter of him having repressed feelings towards Mario that can only be expressed through use of the princess kidnapping scenario as a means of drawing Mario's attention, not actually caring about the princess in the slightest but going through the motions because the true object of his desire will come running once again (like ALWAYS)....

Stuff like that would be frigging AMAZING to see explored by Nintendo.

Crow,
Fallout 3 is a pain when you can't carry all the goodie's you find..

It's a pain even when you can carry all the crap you want. ;)

Also, fuck Bethesda yet again because I can't think of buying Doom without thinking I'd be helping in some minute way to help finance the bastards.

Yeah,sneaking around and being overloaded,sure slows you down..
What you do,is Pirate the game then rub it in their nose:-)

Pirating doesn't do anything but tell the fuckwits who want everything locked down that they're right.

I'd rather say, "Not only do you suck so much that I absolutely refuse to buy anything from you, I don't even want anything from your shitshow of a company sullying my computer with its presence, even for free." =)

And to that into even further perspective, I recently gifted someone with Shannon Tweed and the Attack of the Groupies.
That game is fucking HORRIBLE, but I still bought it.

But I still won't buy anything Bethesda puts out.

But wouldn't you like to say in their forum,I got game this free and it's still a piece of shit:-)

No, because those morons wouldn't stop and think, "Hey, maybe we should stop focusing on that tingly feeling we get from people in the industry blowing warm smoke up our asses and get to work on doing something good."

They would think, "People are stealing our stuff, that's proof right there that we need to keep everything under heavy DRM lock and key until the end of time."

Well,anyone that think's getting DRM free games from them or Ubi don't live in the real world.
They will just make it harder and harder to run their games.

I'd say it's possible, more so with Bethesda than Ubisoft, but still possible.

The amount of money involved just has to be large enough.

Let's just say it'll be a longshot,and I agree Mr Bethesda will come to the party long before Ubi.Ubi will let their remastered stuff come but that's about it..

I'd say it's long odds either way, but who knows. People kept saying Disney wouldn't ever play ball, but here they are.

Think I'm going to zone out for a bit. Have a good day, talk with you later. =)

Hello and good morning.
How're you guys doing? Crap,I think I'm still sleepy,I can't ever type straight .

5:45 am, nothing to do.
Forum's empty, snowing outside, guess I'll clean up in here.
<gets broom, sweeps up popcorn and cookie crumbs>
<gets Lysol, kills smell of cigarette smoke>
<gets paintbrush, covers all remaining pink with blue>
Much better! :-)
