That too. I wonder if any of the gear they are carrying are anachronistic?

Also, never pay for Amazon shipping. If it's not one of their massively expensive courier options then it's a fucking con.

BlackIce_GTS 11-12-2013 10:09 PM

Amazon can be pretty annoying.
Terrible 90s comic I find inexplicably fascinating: One dollar.
Shipping of this envelope-sized item: Fifteen dollars.

On the other hand they seem to be shipping knives to Canada now, just got my Cold Steel GI Tanto.
It's big!

funkychinaman 11-12-2013 11:12 PM

That might just be an Amazon vendor. I noticed that the free shipping threshold was recently raised to $35 though.

I used Amazon Student for a few years, which was the same as Prime but half off. I'm paying full price for Prime now, but I can't really imagine life without it now.

My biggest pet peeve with Amazon is the add-on program. Maybe they DO lose money shipping tiny items like a pack of pens for free, but to refuse to ship it until we hit $25 defeats the purpose of Prime.

It's a pity we don't have any Indian users anymore. I'd like to see a page for Indian 24 and see how it compares to our version.

It's 39 hours long and has 80% more dancing.

Just 80%? 10chars

My brother is probably getting a PS4 for Christmas, so my mother won't lemme the hell alone about what games he ought to get with it, even though I haven't really been paying attention to anything like that at all recently

At least he isn't getting a Xbox One

The other 20% will be filled with sacred cows.

And would they crank up the torture on the show? If Slumdog Millionaire is to be believed, and the cops have no qualms about hooking a teenager up to a car battery for suspicion of CHEATING ON A GAME SHOW, what would they do for a suspected terrorist who might know something about a nuclear weapon? The rack? Hot knives?

Meh, I don't really care what he gets. He kinda does deserve to be subjected to that kind of horribleness, though

...Game shows are SRS BSNS in India, it seems.

Just like Children's Trading Card Games are in Japan.

I just remember Indians being upset that the film showed the world how poor India was. No one even mentioned the horrific human rights abuses.

"Man, I can't wait for a sequel to Independence Day," said no one ever.

Anyone familiar with Sonic 2006, here's a speedrunner doing a good job of demonstrating just how broken it is.

Decided against owning a PS4 for now due to the fact that I'd have to wait until after Christmas to get it anyway, so that money's gone to the Typhoon Haiyan appeal. Everyone else who hasn't given money to that already should do so.

My reaction to Hollywood making a Fifty Shades of Gray movie.

I'm just surprised the movie adaptation won't be a porno.

But there will be a porn parody of it.

Fifty Shades is already a parody, it just doesn't realise it.

Doesn't it? Didn't it start out as a Twilight fanfic?

S&Wshooter 11-19-2013 06:57 PM

It's not new, but I'm thinking about picking up a copy of Spec Ops: The Line

Yeah, it was. It was changed the absolute minimum amount to avoid legal problems, and there are still sections where it's written as if the guy's secret is being a vampire rather than being a kinky asshole.

It's not a bad game. I only played the campaign though.

Evil Tim 11-19-2013 07:44 PM

It's not a bad game but it's not a good one, and it's hugely overhyped by people who want to read sophistication into it that isn't there.

S&Wshooter 11-19-2013 07:46 PM

I figured as much, which is why I decided to wait until it wasn't very expensive to think about getting it

I was impressed by the voicework though. Nolan North, what ISN'T he is, and Lt. Adams was played by none other than Kid from Kid and Play.

S&Wshooter 11-19-2013 07:51 PM

I haven't really cared too much about games recently, and Spec Ops is the only thing I've seen recently that looks interesting

This should be handy for capping console-only games.

All I've played lately has been the newest Army of Two and STALKER: Call of Pripyat

I finally got the most recent Army of Two, but I haven't been able to get my buddy's copy to him yet. Right now we're finishing up Spartan Ops in Halo 4.

Co-op is really fun unless one of you is incompetent. I picked it up while hanging out with my friend so we could play together, and he got his shit wrecked constantly

We played the heck out of 40th Day, and we had done other coop games, like Sniper Elite, all four Gears of War and a few Halos. We played the Devil's Cartel demo together, and he did pretty well.

Speaking of coop, why is it none of the Lego games have online coop? I was frustrated that Lego Batman didn't have it, and I thought they would've rectified that for the sequel, but nope, that didn't have it either.

Excalibur 11-20-2013 04:39 AM

Devil's Cartel is an awesome coop game. My brother and I played it together and had a lot of fun. The best parts of Gears of War was when I was playing it with another guy or in Judgement, 3 other guys

funkychinaman 11-20-2013 04:15 PM

Ugh, Judgment. I was so disappointed with that game. The campaign was okay, but the new survival mode pales in comparison to Horde from GoW3.

Evil Tim 11-20-2013 05:49 PM

Could be worse, could be Castlevania Judgement.

How have you not seen Heat until now?
