Phuck this Shite!

What about iTV in a Ghaddafi Documentary showing Arma 2 video game Footage and saying it was REAL LIFE IRA terrorist shooting down a helicopter! The stupid idiots didn't even know it was a video game until Gamers and Bohemian Interactive called the News station!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/...

at least Gamers know real life from video games!

Kran4577d ago (Edited 4577d ago )

Well.... id have to disagree there. I'm currently in my college class, and I do a video games development course.

There's one person in my class who told me that he relates the real world to video games.

He does have very high aspergers though.

He also thinks walking around town and college with a tail he made is fine...........

@Kran "There's one person in my class who told me that he relates the real world to video games"

Then that person need to get his brain checked before he becomes the next so called halo killer who ends up on Fox news

@mendicant(below)..Dont act a fool...yes i know other news channels write dumb shit but fact is FOX news is the most BIAS/IGNORANT news channel in america.

mendicant4576d ago

Yeah because FOX is the real problem. No other news corporation gives games any crap.

Tool.

sashimi4576d ago (Edited 4576d ago )

lol guys...hes joking..cause you know aspergers at least i think so...if that isn't reference to south park then idk w/e.

cannon88004576d ago

Well I'm already retarded so it's all good.

MariaHelFutura4576d ago

Nope. Kids not knowing how to deal w/ life problems, being heavily medicated and the pressures put on them at such a young age is giving them dementia.

Kran4577d ago

FOR F**K SAKE!

The Sun is just plan pathetic. Not only do they cause rumors, but they also try to bring down everything that's good in the world.

“Screen technologies cause high arousal which in turn activates the brain system’s underlying addiction. This results in the attraction of yet more screen-based activity,” Greenfield explains, continuing to claim that connections in the brain “can be temporarily disabled by activities with a strong sensory content – blowing the mind. Or they can be inactivated permanently by degeneration – ie. dementia.”

So basially, anything you view on a screen.

A computer screen. A Tv screen. A cinema screen.

Thats funny too because there's a lot of peoplein their 80's and 90's with dimentia, and I'm pretty sure they didnt have the crazy world we live in now in their day

JellyJelly4577d ago

The Sun gives people mental Aids. Fact.

Kran4577d ago

The Sun gives people insecurity.

Because they ruin the lives of celebrities, and normal people by the lies they spread around.

Gazondaily4577d ago

Lol brilliant. Funny because its true.

If you read the Sun then you really need to get yourself checked.

gunnerforlife4576d ago

its not that bad, for example the sport pages are pretty good especially the football side, but that's about it.

Pintheshadows4576d ago (Edited 4576d ago )

Shame the Sun and Mail didn't go the way of the NOTW. They do make up a ton of feces.

Just to add, I really want to play Cool Spot right now.

sagapo4576d ago

I don't recall me having dementia...

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5069d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5069d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5069d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495069d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5069d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5069d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
