Blockbuster Online might have Netflix beat for a while now that they rent video games at no extra cost.

Xero 08-10-2010 08:51 PM

If Netflix ever merged with Gamefly Blockbuster would be 100% dead.

Really? I'm gonna have to go check it out.

I'll slay you all dead. Starting with Gohan3k and his ex.

Kane Knight 08-10-2010 10:07 PM

What's Kal spazzing out about now?

Just like you slayed the VG forum with this thread?

Kalyx triaD 08-10-2010 10:41 PM

Yes.

I mean no.

At this point Duke Nukem Forever has no hope of ever being decent or living up to any hype but some interesting news coming out is Gearbox Software rumored to be developing the game now.

Gearbox Software past games include Brothers in Arm series and Borderlands.

I refuse to encourage any Duke Nukem Forever hype by taking it serious.

A limited edition of the new GoldenEye game has been announced by Activision with a neat and potentially useful pack-in. Rather than include something that can't be used with the game and will just sit on a shelf collecting dust, the Classic Edition of the game will include a customized, gold-colored Classic Controller Pro. "In addition to the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, GoldenEye will also support the Wii Zapper for 'point and shoot' gamers, giving players several ways to experience GoldenEye on Wii," said Activision's David Pokress. "We also couldn't pass up the opportunity to pay homage to the golden gun with the gold Classic Controller Pro, which looks cool and also gives shooter fans a familiar control scheme to use as they blast their way through the game."
Nice as it is, it seems like it would have made more sense to include a Wii Zapper or some sort of gun attachment in the color gold to pay homage to the golden gun used by Francisco Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun. Y'know, what with it being a gun. Still, for most people, the Classic Controller Pro will be of more use, making it the more desirable accessory.
No price has been announced as of yet for the Classic Edition, but the game itself is still on track for release this November.

Kalyx triaD 08-11-2010 01:22 PM

Actually looks kinda tacky. Basic black will do.

My bro got a Wii for his kid so I'm gonna lobby for TvC and Red Steel 2, and get myself a Pro Controller. Also, Motion+ is pretty awesome.

You are not a true fan of video games.

Always count on Duke.

Kane Knight 08-11-2010 03:13 PM

What's all this shit about Duke Nukem Forver? It already came out. Zero Punctuation reviewed it.

No game is worth the type of wait this game went through. Its assests would have to be reconstructed to meet today's standards, and that may or may not turn out well (Perfect Dark Zero). Aside from a possibly dated engine, is the idea that Duke Nukem may not even be a profitable endeavor these days. Is his 90's humor and gruff sexualization and violence attractive in this modern age?

Well... actually yeah. BUT;

It's not about counting on Duke for me. He's not real, he's not making the game. It's not counting on the devs who found pleasure in releasing one promotional shot every three years and expecting the population to cum over it. I stopped caring years ago. Some interest returned after the 'proposed' gameplay vid, but it wasn't anything worth the years in development Hell.

BigDaddyCool 08-11-2010 03:40 PM

Kalyx doesn't actaully like video games. That is what he just said.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-11-2010 03:45 PM

Kalyx is the cancer.

Xero 08-11-2010 03:46 PM

Give the game to Rockstar. They'll do something spectacular that would live up to the hype.

Though it would mean building from the ground up and years of waiting.

But it would be worth the wait.

Extreme Angle 08-11-2010 03:57 PM

I've never played Duke Nukem...
I briefly remember seeing a friend playing it, shooting a pig man or something...
What's the big hype about it...

BigDaddyCool 08-11-2010 03:58 PM

It is the greatest game ever.

Shake it baby.

Extreme Angle 08-11-2010 04:04 PM

That's amazing, Doom with the humour of GTA

BigDaddyCool 08-11-2010 04:06 PM

Basically. It is just one of those things you can't even put your finger on why it is so cool.

alvarado52 08-11-2010 04:07 PM

like you?

BigDaddyCool 08-11-2010 04:11 PM

Pretty much. Just intangible elements of why it works.

Verbose Minch 08-11-2010 11:53 PM

From now on, everybody just ignore anything that Kalyx says.

Granted, BDC is the human equivalent of a jury-rigged clunker held together with spit and bailing wire.

Or duct tape.

BigDaddyCool 08-12-2010 09:37 AM

Bailing wire and ducts tape and some chewing gum.

Well he already ignores what everybody has to say. So that will just complete the cycle.

Xero 08-12-2010 10:59 AM

If he ignores us and we ignore him, does he really even exist?

BigDaddyCool 08-12-2010 11:11 AM

It is my theory that he doesn't really understand how discussion forums are suppose to work.

But then who will you bitch about?

BigDaddyCool 08-12-2010 11:37 AM

There is something so fascinating about him, I can't help it.

Kane Knight 08-12-2010 12:00 PM

You're a nerd and autistics are as close as you'll ever get to Vulcans.

BigDaddyCool 08-12-2010 12:03 PM

Only a nerd like you would have made that connection.

Kalyx triaD 08-12-2010 01:03 PM

teehee

BigDaddyCool 08-12-2010 01:18 PM

oh, go break down things to their prime factors.

Let's face it: You contributed by making the connection prior. My only real "contribution" to this was having a sufficiently good memory to regurgitate it in the future.

Which is probably a nerdy enough trait to not be proud of, but still.

Steam holding a QuakeCon sale for 27 games from id Software and Bethesda Softworks. Sale lasts until August 15 and whole collection can be bought for $70 instead of the normal $233 price.
