Replay value. I refuse to get a game that I will play then put away for the rest of time. Graphics, good story, fun combat or strategic systems are nice... as well as a character I can enjoy playing, but it all comes down to spend days playing through a game (sometimes multiple play-throughs! I guess that correlates with good gameplay, but some games can be fun, but have no replay value in my opinion, (I will never play a God of War or Force Unleashed game again unless its a sequel. they are fun for a while, but repetitive, so when the game is spent... it really feels spent. ) As far as My favorite games have gone, I felt accomplished for beating it, either by length or story (or both). At the end of my favorites, The journey to completion is sometimes my favorite part. Looking back I like to remember how I got to the end, and the fun I had doing it.

[font="Garamond"][b]â??I have modified the course a little bit to better simulate an actual fire fight.â?[/b] Felix informed them, though no one believed the changes were truly minor. He had been working for months on it after all. [b]â??Sandy you are going to need basic weapons training and safety, the rest of you are free to test out the facilities."[/b] [b]â??Anything we should know before we try out your new toy Fel?â? [/b]Sekeiri asked. [b]â??Yes. Put on the ponchos and take off any jewelry.â?[/b] they sighed, imaging what could possibly require them to cover up, then walked into the range room. Felix then walked Sandy to the only part of the room that resembled the old practice room. [b]â??Here, take this pistol.â? [/b] slowly he reached out for it. As he did. Felix quickly slapped the gun in his hand. [b] â??Shouldnâ??t I be learning safety first?â?[/b] He said uneasily. [b] â??There is a more important lesson to learn. Take that gun and point it at me.â?[/b] [b] â??What? Wait, is this thing loaded Felix?â? [/b] [b] â??Just do what I say.â?[/b] Felixâ??s tone never changed, his eyes focused on the boy, watching every tremble.[b] â??stop your fidgeting and do it.â?[/b] Sandy raised the gun and placed it to Felixâ??s head. [b]â??Why am I doing this?â? [/b]Sandy couldnâ??t help but cringe, seeing Felixâ??s eyes staring right back at him, yet knowing a hair trigger was the only thing that kept those eyes from dimming. [b] â??Because kid, you are going to be shooting targets for now, but thatâ??s going to change. Remember how it feels to hold a weapon against something that breathes while you are practicing.â? [/b] [b]â??I donâ??t like it.â? [/b]Sandy complained. [b]â??If you did, I wouldnâ??t be giving you this gun.â?[/b] [/font][center][font="Garamond"]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/font] [/center][font="Garamond"] The women had done as Felix recommended, wearing the large cameo patterned ponchos, as well as the normal safety glasses and noise reducers. When the first targets came out they couldnâ??t help but laugh. Felix had switched the normal targets with printouts of famous film witches. They didnâ??t even notice the red lights and small cannon on the rotation mechanism. Their laughter was cut short briefly by the paint ball launched at them. It wasnâ??t long before they got accustomed to the new settings. The red light indicated which targets were aiming at them, and you had a range of almost a second to hit them with a head-shot or a clean center hit. To stop the paintball from firing. It was an obvious attempt to force the shooter to watch the battlefield instead of just aiming and pulling the trigger, which probably wouldnâ??t help a seasoned vet, but might save the life of a rookie. Either way you had to admit it was kinda fun. After a set of ten they joined up with Felix and Sandy. [b]â??Fun game you got there Fel!â?[/b] Sekeiri exclaimed, tossing him her poncho. [b] â??Hmmm, four colors , Not too bad for your first try Sekeiri, but you might want to practice a bit more often.â?[/b] Felix stated, not realizing that offense would be taken. [b] â??Hey I shoot just fine, maybe if you told me they were gonna start shooting back I would have done better!â? [/b][b] â??Sorry, I thought the pamphlet right next to the start button was enough. My fault.â?[/b] He took Elenaâ??s Pancho and threw it in the hamper without looking at all the colors. Relief washed over her face, [b]â??this one wont count, but I have one more room to show you. Follow me.â?[/b] He lead them all through his office and into the back door. There was a small Walkway and then another door on the same side they entered from, placing the room adjacent to Felixâ??s office. â??For safety reasons I think only one craft user should enter at a time... Elena.â? He motioned her into the dark room, which lit up with candle light as she entered, as if by magic, though it was really a system similar to that of a convection oven Felix had applied. The door closed behind her and she all of a sudden became aware of how large the room was. The others moved back into the office, Felix then opened up a wall panel revealing a window into the room. He then sat down at the control station and turned on the microphone. [b] â??Can you hear me Elena?â? [/b][b] â??Yesâ?¦ could you have made this place any creepier Felix?â?[/b] she said. [b] â??Is that a request?â? â??No, forget it, lets just get this over with.â? [/b][/font]

Started playing Borderlands again for reasons unknown. I am going through as a Soldier (since I have played through every other class!!!1) this time with friends. also I am probably getting Zombie Island now that the price has dropped.. I may do a review later if I do.

You got it Shin!

A tongue twisting good time!

[quote] I'm back with some very basic projects that I have done. These are from Product Advertising and Indesign classes. The Indesign stuff is terrible. It is my weakest subject. [b]Indesign[/b] [b]Business card: None of the info is real. I made most of it up except for my name.[/b] [/quote] Though I am disappointed that the number I have been calling is fake... It looks really well done. I am not very fond of cursive writing in things that are meant to be read often, but It is still rather legible because of the dark font on the light background. [quote] [b]Bookmark[/b] [/quote] Well, since I have been made aware of David Bowie's eyes, you captured an interesting part of his likeness. I like the gray, and the Quote is nicely placed. The cursive goes well with it in this case but it is kinda hard to read in white... though not horrible. [quote] [b]Product Advertising[/b] [b]Emotion Opposites Symbols: Depression and Joy[/b] [/quote] Well the college template looks really impressive! very professional :P Anyways, the first thing that stands out are the opposing colors, Dark cold colors for sad, bright Warm colors for happy just makes sense. The Jump for joy works really well because it specifically asked for joy. The sun... is kinda just there... but It makes the jump look like its really high I guess! as for depression I really like how its mostly a black canvas. It looks a little bit too much like an inversion with the white hair I think.. but other than that I love the tattered feel. The picture looks like its falling apart like people suffering through depression. Crying is nothing super original, but I like how the tears are a different color. It really makes it stand out. Anyways great work again Cat! you are constantly bringing a variety of awesomeness!

I just finished working on two of my projects! My lovely new set and a custom Grifball court to fill the void that happened when Bungie took the best gametype away.

My pleasure White! This song is a heaping piece of... wait... hold on.... I like this one! The smooth soul/Italiany feel flows pretty well with the singers rhythmic vocals... I can't say I like his voice, and his odd tone makes the odd lyrics even harder to understand on the first playthrough... but sound-wise I could definitely listen to them on one of my walks. The only really negative thing I can think of is the video... Its kinda gross, and the the lack of anything special... I dunno... I can't relate to it. all in all 7.5/10 CaNz the music Snob has spoken! [media]http://www.artistdirect.com/video/awake/35206[/media]

YES, PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!1 The Girl Who Leapt Through Time! Very very good movie. [font="Arial"][/font]

Yes! I started watching it again... the happy show is a good change from my last one.

Sweet! I finally got another one! [img]http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt278/PandasQ/youllneverguessbwaaaahahahahahahahaahahahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaahaha.jpg[/img]

Is that from Brave Story?

Can't sleep... Neon Genesis Evangelion is giving me nightmares...

I don't have a real answer for you, but everyone I talk to who has gotten one tells me that if you are going to buy a card, don't go for the cheap ones. basically if you need to save up to get a good one, do it, because there is nothing worse than buying a card , then needing a new one because it isn't good enough. as for helpful information: [quote name='Sartorius of Nexon Forums']IMO best GPU for the price is the Radeon HD 5770. It's just [url="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131330&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Video+Cards-_-PowerColor-_-14131330"]$120[/url] and can easily max Crysis at 1280x1024 with anti-aliasing turned off. The model I linked to is also a single slot card, which will come in handy if you have a small case (or one with weird backwards slots like mine). The GTX 460 is amazing as well. It goes for about [url="http://www.mwave.com/mwave/SKUSearch_v3.asp?px=FO&scriteria=AA98983"]$130[/url], but is commonly a dual slot card. A single slot "Razor Edition" version came out about a week ago, but it's well over 200 dollars. It's about 5-10% faster than the 5770. Both of these cards are overkill for many games out right now, and they aren't even considered "high end." The big question is this: Do you have a good enough power supply run faster cards? After the Radeon HD 5670 and Geforce GT 240, all higher cards use PCI-Express power connectors. the 5770 and 460 need one 6-pin connector, and higher cards need two connectors--the first couple of high end GPUs need two 6-pins, then the highest end cards use one 6-pin and an 8-pin. If you don't have at least a good 400-500 watt power supply that comes with a PCI-E connector or two, I wouldn't try running any card higher than an HD 5670 That card can still max most games out today, and it's only [url="http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?p=AT-567VGA5&c=fr&pid=3869382803f544721b97aa4920453ce65df65b2f9600361cfbe8e32a811e9cb6"]$72[/url]. If you don't want to spend extra money on a better power supply if you don't already have one, then I say you should get it card and not have to worry. You still gotta tell us what you're currently using. Your card may be bottlenecked if you have a weak processor. [/quote] i got it from this [url="http://forum.nexon.net/Vindictus/forums/thread/6679732.aspx"]link[/url] if you wanna check the rest of it out.

Anytime!

How is this? [IMG]http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt278/PandasQ/tt.jpg[/IMG] http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt278/PandasQ/tt.jpg If you need any changes I would be happy to do it.

The lab, you know, Doctor Mordin is in there... those two monitors. You don't just apply upgrades like you did in the last game. This time once you find or buy the upgrades (or talking to people in the ship like you did) go to the lab and you can pay for them. Its like you found the plan and then you need to fund the creation. Its the whole point behind the probe/mine mini-game. if you haven't already been there then you probably just passed by it by accident. Also, I never had multiple saves. This game is much less buggy compared to the original so I didn't die too often and not be able to do anything (stupid autosave right before you die) Oh and I don't like Biotic users in this game, the way the fighting system works you can just use your best skill over and over, so Adepts usually get destroyed because they have no normal gun skills. As far as teams go, if you ever have problems throw in Miranda if you fully leveled her class feats. she gives a bonus for health and damage to the entire group making anything much easier.
