Told ya LOW2 sucks

Indeed you did my man, indeed you did. It was like the last thing on my list, and of course thats what was bought for me. Rocky and Madden were passed up. Can you believe that?! it sucks

 

[Cibo]

Shouldn't have opened it, told them you already had it, and then ask if they or you could have exchanged it for another game.

My sister got it for me though...she woulda been heartbroken if i had done such a thing. I bet i could just trade it in at EB or something, right?

 

[Cibo]

For probably less than half of the retail value, so expect nothing more than 20 bucks for it.

 

[Spaceboy]

Okay...I got all kinds of crap for christmas, but I'll only tell you guys the cool stuff.

Ratchet and Clank
Contra: Shattered Soldier

I got like 5 cd's...but two of them were ones I had already gotten myself, so I traded those in for the new old Smashing Pumpkins cd with live and acoustic stuff on it from around the Siamese Dream era. I also got the new Foo Fighters and Nirvana's greatest hits.

AND....I got some gift certificates to the mall and I think I might go and try to find the Network adapter and US Navy Seals tomorrow or sunday.

 

[Spaceboy]

Before I forget...

Ratchet and Clank = really good, really fun platformer
Contra = HARD and I mean hard with a capital FUCKING HARD

Well I didn't get any games with that money I had.. the Wal-Mart here just doesn't have any selection and I am going to Calgary next week.

Instead I got a few CD's and DVD's..

Wanna know what irony is? It's playing the soundtrack CD to GTA: Vice City on an Xbox.

BTW... I found out why Barakka isn't in MK5 with one of the hidden movies in the game. I'm disapointed, but in a way I can now move on from my longing to slice someone up....

 

[Spaceboy]

Okay...spill it. You can't give us a cryptic message about baraka and then leave us hanging like that. What happened to him?

Re: Before I forget...

Played this on my best friends PS2... This and Smackdown 4 so far are the only games that make me think getting a PS2 wouldn't have been a better idea.

Then of course I play all the music saved on my Xbox and come to my senses.

Ok ok..

For those that wanna find out for themselves, open up koffin XW - it's only 96 ruby koins.

For the rest of you:

It's an MK Gold ending.. After having aligned with Quan Chi, winning the tournament and killing all of their foes, an angry Baraka confronts Quan Chi about ruling a world with no survivors. Quan Chi states that it was never about 'holding court' over anyone, but that their conquest was all about power.. Ultimate power than he now has while Baraka is left with nothing.

Baraka lunges and attempts to kill Quan Chi by putting a blade through his chest saying "you'll pay for that power with your life", but as the camera focuses on Baraka's face, Quan Chi appears standing behind Baraka saying "You fool, I have no life to give".

Baraka looks back with shock at the body he's put his blade through only to find a skeleton. He goes to attack Quan Chi again, but this time Quan Chi freezes him as he jumps in mid-air.. seconds later with a sinister laugh from Quan Chi, Baraka explodes.

Ya I saw the video to that ending...sucks for him.

 

[StrawberryPez]

I got Blinx and Whacked for Christmas. I also played Splinter Cell. It was pretty cool.

Sucks for him? Dude, it sucks for me!!!

I was awesome with Baraka!! I was stellar with him!! I didn't care he was evil.. Hell the fact he was evil and easy to be cheesy with was the best feature!

Did I just say "easy to be cheesy"? Gah...

Actually I seem to go farthest with Sonya. I haven't tried very hard to get anywhere in arcade modes.. I'm trying to finish all the Konquests first.

Frost is pretty cool to use as well. She has Sub Zero's old ice slide move that I used to wear out.

Woot! Blinx is one of my faves! If you enjoy that check out Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.

If you can finish Raiden's konquest, you are a God sir. I could NOT, for the life of me, finish his very last combo. ARGH!

 

[Cibo]

So I rented Sega Soccer Slam and Deathrow today from a new video store place. SSS is really fun but can get old pretty fast. But deathrow...damn now that's a game. Has swearing in it also, like mother fucker and asshole. My kind of game.

 

[Arc da Rat]

LOL

Now I know I have to get that game!!

 

[Cibo]

I'll let you know what I think of it in detail when I play it more.

 

[Liontamr]

I did try to do Raiden's Konquest tonight.. That combo is gonna take some time to work on.

Movado is another guy who I can seem to finish.. I just can't get the button combos right with him.

 

[Cibo]

Raidan is the last one I needed to do. I don't remember Movodo's combo at all, sorry. But Raiden's...*throws a book against the xbox*
