So I saw this this morning on the Daily Mail (I know it's bollocks, but..) website: (contents not for the squeamish, just the description of events, no photos given)

@Jouen: Hey, at least he doesn't wear a sports jacket over a company hoodie.

Let's show him this when his Lost Planet screenplay finally makes it to our screens and see if we can add HIS video game movie to the never-ending list of ones that sucked.

@Manly McBeeferton: You didn't... did you? You couldn't possibly have...

@Owen Good: Does having to "work" at the show really detract from the fun of being there and seeing/playing all the stuff on display?

@Chewblaha: Madden 2112: Quarterback Rush

@Chewblaha: Madden 2022: Modern Football 2

@Michael Dukakis: That game's pure gold. After all, who wouldn't mind Fideling with how their country's run?

@HatchC2: I'm OK with this as long as people are willing to risk monumental lag in a game of NHL 10 on PS3. PSN name's in my profile, I'm willing to suffer a huge loss to get someone else's story up here :P

@AerithLovesTifa: Don't mind me, just clarifying how it works for the arguers below.

@Brodka: regrettably: That's the thing though, you can set the rules to a league's default, pick a different league's rules to the one you're in, or mix and match different rules to your liking.

I second FIFA Superstars harming productivity rates. I've been bone idle at work (seriously, office work on a Saturday when everywhere else's administration departments are closed?) since just before mid-day, and have been hopping off and onto it all day since. It's like CPU-generated matches using the FIFA Ultimate…

They should copy the BOOM SHAQ-ALAKA line from NBA Jam if you score a flash-KO with him.

@Rachel Fogg: That's why this is an open topic and you can talk about whatever the hell you want to. The picture's only there to tell you "Hey, this is the open thread that isn't about gaming".

@jkdeadite: The way I see it, is this would be a great way to introduce people to the series before (possibly) releasing a Dark Cloud 3.

Dark Cloud 1 & 2

@TERROR-HORROR: I think it just means the graphics are being bumped up, with gameplay being like-for-like to the original.

Not counting The Beatles: Rock Band (due to buying the whole band kit), the most expensive disc-only game I've bought was the Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition for €70.

In not-related-to-the-post non-videogame news, I just saw the FlashForward finale. (It was awesome but I'm not talking about it in case you guys have it TiVoed or something and haven't had the chance to see it yet)
