Anyone have a spare Mirrors Edge and BF3 key from the Humble Bundle? I can trade some TF2 stuff, if you want.

Is it just me or does this cart's logo look a little off?

Too far too the right. Weird. Pirate?

It's legit, it's just an Australian copy.

Maybe, maybe not. It is the AU artwork and proper code. TM is a little up and right and label applied sloppily. Shell looks good. I don't see a stamp in the label though. Does it use a triwing screw and is Nintendo screened on the board? There are a few threads and things on the internet on how to spot GB* bootlegs.

Edge is impressive for the hardware. II is great. IV is good w/ online. The rest suck hard.

The original SC "sucks hard" but II and IV are great? wat

I thought of this later - I have this thing where I think of Edge as "the first game" so then kind of forget to mention SC and skip right to II. So you're right, the first SC is one I enjoy a lot as well. I have a love/hate relationship with the SERIES, but in honesty it's really just III and apparently V that I hate.

I can't get The Witcher 2 to install properly on my Xbox. It goes through the install fine but, any time I play it I get a disc read error. It works fine if I just leave it uninstalled though. I'm thinking maybe the HDD is going kaputs.

I've been writing Flashback for more than a year now. I didn't even notice!

There's not that much difference between PC games and console games these days, so I'm not sure why you're getting more enjoyment from sitting in front of a computer instead of a TV.

That's true, and why I mainly play older PC games But frankly I don't feel any different playing a modern multiplatform game on my PC than playing the same game on my 360/PS3, sitting down on a sofa.
Yall must have some horrible chairs. Sitting in front of a computer is relaxing. It removes me from this plane of existence and makes forget all my troubles and stress. Don't tell me you people never find enjoyment in watching movies/TV shows, or youtube videos, or talking on a forum like this, or searching information on the internet? Or doing something else on a PC. I don't see how that's any different from gaming the same way. Everyone should own a proper chair and an ergonomic gaming mouse with side buttons for switching between pages (very helpful in video games, those extra 2-3 buttons in a mouse). Those two cost like 80-200+25-35 dollars and make using a computer so much more enjoyable, it's sheer lunacy to not make the investment.

Videogames don't have the luxury of fitting into that niche. They're either good, or they suck. Sort of like how there's no such thing as food that's so gross it's tasty.

If you don't find the movement and death animation in Bram Stoker's Dracula (Sega CD), Way of the Warrior on 3DO or the "cat" in Club Drive (Jaguar) funny, you must have no sense of humor at all. And those are just few examples, there are many games that are so bad they're funny. How long they'll be entertaining before loosing the humor value and turning to plain bad depends on the game though.

Well, I mean, I have a nice computer chair. I sit in one all day though. Makes it less appealing tbh. My mouse is great as is my mechanical keyboard. My calibrated monitor is easy on the eyes too. But still, it gets tiring being in the same place all day.

Now, if I were sitting on a couch all day, the switch to a nice supportive chair would feel pretty good to me.

So really, I just need the variety.
