Side note: Achtane is your avatar from Tetsuo?

It is! I recently watched it again and remembered how awesome the movie is. I really like how it was shot too.
That chick is legitimately scary in some scenes.

Played a couple hours of The Last of Us yesterday with my cousin.
There sure are lots of half-scissors lying around.

It's definitely a great film. The first time I watched it I was coming-up on an acid trip so I'm not sure it left the best impression but I appreciated it a lot more on the second viewing.

My Corsair 500R case came today!

It's beautiful

Now I just need the rest of my parts to come. Also bought a 23" Asus Monitor for it yesterday because it was on sale. I'm sticking with 1080p at least for a while until 1440p and 1600p monitors go down in price. Even the cheap ones are like $400

Now that I have a PS2 again, I dug out my old copy of Dark Cloud.

I laughed so hard when I found out the protagonist's name was Toan

Watched the first part of a Last of Us Lets play.

Call me dumb, but I was under the impression that it was a regular post apocalyptic based story rather than another Zombie game... if there is a difference. I am so buzzed out on Zombies that its not even funny. I like Gloom, though I like context.

why am I 'just' finding out about this?

Have you played the demo for it ht?
It's every bit as fun as it looks.

The image of Last of Us in my head was more STALKER-like until I played it.

The dudes who made STALKER are working on an MMO with a very similar feel...I hope it turns out okay.

Anyone else interested in the new Smash Bros? Current character list: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/633202-s ... u/66467235

This is what I think the character list should be:

NSFW: show

Mario / Wario
Luigi / Waluigi
Princess Peach / Princess Daisy
Bowser / Bowser Junior
Yoshi
Zelda / Sheik
Ganondorf / Ganon / Ghirahim / Zant / Agahnim
Link OoT / MM / WW / TP / SS
Donkey Kong / Chunky Kong / Kiddy Kong
Diddy Kong / Lanky Kong
Dixie Kong / Tiny Kong
King K. Rool / Kaptain K. Rool / Baron K. Roolenstein
Ash / Misty / Brock / Gary
Pikachu
Jigglypuff
Mew / Mewtwo
(Maybe one other Pokemon unit group?)
Fox / Falco / Wolf / Krystal
Sonic / Knuckles / Shadow / Silver
Tails
Captain Falcon
Samus / Zero Suit Samus
Ridley
R.O.B. / ROB 64
Dig Dug / Mr. Driller / Ice Climbers / Mr. Game and Watch
Mega Man / Proto Man / Sniper Joe
Rush, Beat & Roll
Ness / Lucas
Kirby
Meta Knight
King Dedede
Marth / Chrom
Pit
Banjo & Kazooie

Each line is 1 selectable unit. The alternates on that line would be unlockables, and you would choose them the way you can typically choose outfit colour or whatever (this would change both the units look and skillset)

Each of the Pokemon trainers would have 3 Pokemon characteristic of them.

Where you see , and & that means it is one character with multiple simultaneous units.

There are probable like 8 lines that I think could be cut entirely from the list, but whatever.

I think calling it "another zombie game" is a huge discredit to the game.
If you can compare it to any zombie game, I don't know what that game would be.
The infected are prominent right off the bat as an introduction to the concept, and really aren't the whole of the game. They provide some really tense sections, but the encounters with people are where the game really takes off.
The characters make the game. I think it should at least be played for the story.
