Bugs, I unlocked this dog in Nintendogs

Really cute one too, just like that with the one eye patch.

Also got a spotted tabby like this:

And a grey longhair like this, but fatter:

Man, English bull terrier pups are the sweetest things in the world.  I still really want one.

Might be epic, but since Nintendo is putting something out that's supposedly about the same as current gen HD consoles in terms of graphics, memory, and processing power, they'll be trailing again in terms of technology.

Also... I still think the biggest games will be predominantly on the competitors' systems. It's about frakkin' time that Nintendo got huge and quality third-party support again, but since it's never been friendly to third parties and had much less third party support for its last THREE consoles (out of FIVE), I won't dare hold my breath. Nintendo most likely won't have anything to compete well against XBL and PSN (when it's actually up), so they'll probably be behind in everything except whatever the unique features of the new console are.

What the?

How can you just nonchalently show up and post without explaining where you've been for the last few... months or years? Hey guy

I've still been coming here daily for the news. You guys rock! This is the best gaming news source I know of (sad to say I probably wouldn't know about it if I hadn't been on GameSpot and in the RoF).

Been mostly absent from forums, save for a few posts on non-gaming-related ones. I'd been obsessed with the Left 4 Dead series and started making a campaign based on my university (btw, I graduated in December), but that's going to take a LOOOOOOOOOONG time to come to fruition. Haven't made any mods before, and definitely haven't worked on one thing for -- what will probably be -- over a year before. And I've been checking out the L4D 1/2 Steam forums. And btw, if you guys are interested in watching L4D 1/2 matches between some of the best teams, go here.

Then I was obsessed with the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series, in anticipation of The Old Republic. Need to get back to KotOR 2 one of these days.

Also played some Streets of Rage Remake. I'm still pissed that it's taking so long for the dev team to get something ironed out with Sega so the download links will come back up legitimately. It's been about a month now, so I'm not holding my breath. Might be 8 years of work smacked down permanently after the project was available for just a few days.

Btw, whoever is on Steam can add me. Steel and UpInFlames are already on my friends list, but otherwise it's just people I know IRL. Steam name is "DeinGesicht" (it means "your face" in German). Sorry to say I haven't been chatting with those two guys... but I'm really not even in the habit of chatting with friends on there if we aren't / weren't really close friends IRL, so don't feel bad or offended, you two.

Man fuckin' A....The Witcher 2 is coming out fuckin' soon and is as must buy as anything coming out this entire year...and I'm totally unprepared for it. For those of you who haven't played the 1st one, trust me when I say its one of the best RPG's this generation has seen, right on the level of Mass Effect & Elder Scrolls. I need to get this game....not just want to.

Fuck.

BTW been playing Fable 3 finally. Starts off a tad slow and a tad weird compared to the others, but once you get about an hour or two into it, it gets just as great as the others. There actually seems to be more exploration this time than usual. Nice art also.

Yes, The Witcher 2 is a must-buy. I'll probably pre-order the premium edition on GOG. Great extras, 10% off, and a free grand ol' game to boot! If any of you guys have recommendations for which old game to get, I'd be grateful. At one time I heard that Planescape: Torment was among the selection, and that was my pick (so many people have said so many good things about it), but it's... not... actually... one of the games available.

These are the options:

Beyond Divinity

Divine Divinity

Gothic 2: Gold Edition

Realms of Arkania 1 + 2

Realms of Arkania 3

I already have Gothic 3, since I heard it was similar to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, but I haven't played more than a few minutes. I hear Gothic 2 might be better. Anyway, recommendations? I have a gigantic backlog on Steam, but the old game is free!

Recommendations for the old game should be based on the following: I love The Witcher, The Elder Scrolls, and Knights of the Old Republic (and will probably be including Mass Effect and Dragon Age in there, too). Not a fan of the isometric view, and games like Torchlight don't interest me much.

I've been replaying The Witcher, but after knowing everything that happens, I find it harder to keep going. Of course, it doesn't help that I may have burned myself out a bit from playing so much damned dice poker. Won a lot, lost a lot. Had some reloads in there to make sure I didn't permanently bankrupt myself.

I may eventually get Fable 3, but Fable 1 didn't draw me in enough when I first got it, and I didn't try Fable 2. In the first one, it didn't help that it kept crashing at the point when I had to escort people so they wouldn't die in a balverine attack. Could be a flaw with the disc. I don't think I've gotten back to that game in a few years now. Just got tired of the unavoidable crashes in that area.

GG, now you've got me associating you with a grey long-haired cat that seems to be angry because it was awakened prematurely.

They cost 2 Balls.

Hairy balls, like what GG coughs up.

Glad to hear you're feeling better now, Iga. With that kind of diseases, the only possible choice is to tough them out until you have puked or shat everything. Keep yourself hydrated and follow a careful diet progression.

I've done the old "shit in the bog, puke in the paperbasket" routine before as well. What really pisses me off about having the runs, is that after the fourth or fifth time you take a shit, the anus starts to burn and you can't wipe your asshole anymore except for a few gentle pats with a baby wipe.

I wonder if GG has ever had diarrhea.
