7:09 PMjordan thompson​there was a ps2 ATV racing game where if you backed up the ATV to a wall and leaned in a certain way you could see the models bra and cleavage, so I get you point

7:10 PMWA3​I think perfect dark is re released on the One X. much smoother and sharper than the original

7:10 PMjordan thompson​we need a prequel, imperfect light

7:11 PMjordan thompson​and a midquel, average midday

7:12 PMjordan thompson​1/2 a mile to go

7:12 PMWA3​there is a rumor going on that Sega might announce a new console later this week. man if that’s true..I miss how full of character old consoles had..

7:16 PMmatthew wilson​a lot of people thing the anouncement people think is sega will be bought by ms

7:17 PMWA3​bald and weird and don’t shy out of being weird. That’s Sega games for ya

7:17 PMmatthew wilson​it would fill a lot of holes in ms line up if they did

7:19 PMjordan thompson​I’ve been feeding my new ps2 addiction on lukie games, if you wanna get some good deals on retro junk it a good place

7:21 PMJFK​Did you grab a copy of Xenoblade definitive edition

7:21 PMWA3​The most informative manual i ever read was of the original Zelda on the NES. that thing was a full step by step tutorial in txt format

7:22 PMSusanne Christ​sup ^-^

7:23 PMotritzu​Evenin’ Guys and Gals.

7:23 PMotritzu​‘Tis a full price game, Andrew. You’re not likely to get it unless it goes on sale.

7:23 PMmatthew wilson​isnt it like a 80 hour game

7:24 PMWA3​[message retracted]

7:24 PMSusanne Christ​lol yeah I’m fine…hbu? xD

7:24 PMmatthew wilson​seems like a good quantine game

7:24 PMjordan thompson​as far as I understand it’s and additional story almost like a mini new release of something they could have saved for a sequel maybe it’s just me but I think the price is fair

7:25 PMotritzu​It’s a 100+ hour game.

7:26 PMotritzu​ChuggaConroy did a let’s play of it and mentioned he’d spent nearly half a thousand hours on it.

7:26 PMJFK​Nice nice, I was just wondering because I was watching a bunch of stuff on Operation Rainfall recently and I come across that legendary video you made 8 years ago about giving Nintendo your money.

7:26 PMjordan thompson​we need babalities back I need babynator

7:27 PMWA3​whats more fun to ya? rush through many different games or 100% complete less games?

7:27 PMmjbreese​Kung lao\

7:29 PMotritzu​No. Xenoblade Chronicles is a fifteen hour game if you remove the sidequests and cutscenes.

7:29 PMSusanne Christ​zeno or Xeenoo lol pick one!

7:29 PMotritzu​You spend well over half that time fighting the final four bosses.

7:31 PMjordan thompson​[message retracted]

7:33 PMjordan thompson​at this point since netherelms works on mortal kombat and injustice I would like to see another attempt at DC universe vs mortal kombat

7:36 PMSusanne Christ​…putting women in trash bins Andrew? classic 1st date lol

7:36 PMjordan thompson​this is a human character no a dog right

7:36 PMotritzu​They don’t like her because her voice is grating. She’s one of the easier Escort objectives I’ve ever worked with.

7:38 PMjordan thompson​I wanna say Leon for smash will never happen but Nintendo’s been throwing some curve balls latley

7:38 PMotritzu​19 according to the lore.

7:39 PMotritzu​Supposedly she’d have her twentieth birthday about the time she and Leon get back to the US.

7:39 PMjordan thompson​legal thats all I needed to know 🙂

7:40 PMotritzu​I’ve [played that game too, the puzzles and navigation are aiight but the fighting sucks.

7:41 PMotritzu​She’s like 15 (a year or two older than the boy) and she doesn’t have any combat training and the kid’s a fighting ‘genius’.

7:42 PMotritzu​That’d be a blast.

7:42 PMjordan thompson​how a game called escort where you play as an escort and you do escort missions

7:42 PMotritzu​He has horns and a bandage around his head.

7:48 PMSusanne Christ​I think it would have to end with the moral dilemma of do you kill yourself for humanity or keep ur life?

7:48 PMSusanne Christ​I think ellie facing thoes choices at the end and cutting off b4 she makes the choice would be a good ending
