Video Game Chat / Re: Things That Made You Poop A Little.
« on: October 14, 2011, 07:43:35 PM »
This weekend is Torque Bow Tag game mode weekend in Gears of War 3. I played a lot today and two poop worthy things happened:

I played a game on Thrashball and went 17-0, my longest kill streak, highest KD ratio and first time finishing a match with no deaths. I got a medal for it, plus a lot of other ones.

I'm also learning and re-learning a lot of things about the Torque Bow, most importantly what you can and can't do while charging a shot. You can get in and out of cover while charging a shot, but if you dive roll or Roadie run, the bow will automatically shoot wherever your bow is pointing. I learned that when I started charging a shot and then dive rolled forward, so the bolt hit the ground in front of me and exploded as I rolled onto it.

Anyway turns out your bow also automatically shoots when you're downed. I came up on a group of three guys, killed one while another one ran away. I started charging to shoot the guy running away, but before I could aim I got meleed by the third dude. But my gun still shot my bow and hit the guy running away.

Bonus thing I learned: Torque bow fights are hilarious at point blank range.

You can unlock select few skins by participating in Gears events or other random things. Most of the other ones are unlocked only by ca$h monaaaay.

Learning to combat the endless stream of shotgunners is a steep curve, really you just need to be good at waiting. Gears is not a run-and-gun game unless you're REALLY good at running and gunning. Sit behind cover in a firefight and take potshots at opponents with the hammerburst or retro lancer until you get the feel for how much one needs shooting to go down. Of course, don't sit in the same spot for too long, because they'll find you and shotgun you.

That's perfect, I have a Slim. This is a great price. Does it work pretty well and all that?

This is different but where'd you find that cheap 360 hard drive? I need another one.

It comes out next Tuesday in the US.
Oh. I read about it on QT3 which has a surprising population of non-US people, so.

Get it on 360, the better controller is worth it. I will play it with you if we ever decide to stop playing Gears 3 (unlikely). You can still play it in RL.

Yeah sorry I kind of stood you up this weekend. I had some stuff come up and wasn't home basically at all. But my schedule is relatively back to normal this week so we can bust it open this week.

Sony's upcoming mandatory PS3 update removes the right to join in a class-action lawsuit.

LOL SONY

Not sure why this game doesn't have its own topic.

You guys don't use the analog stick for fighting games?

DualShock2 was the standard PS2 controller right?

That was indeed a painful D-pad, but I actually liked it. I tore [dukar] up with that D-pad on THPS4, and in turn, the pad tore up my thumb. Good times.

I first discovered Tony Hawk Thumb along with everyone else, playing THPS on the N64.

That's just a hamster living under water. It's not Bioshock until that sucker starts shooting electricity and setting [dukar] on fire.
