Oh jim, I feel so sorry. YOu have to actually be in Mississippi. THe only worse place you could be is Georgia (or maybe Alabama, that crimson tide cant be too healthy).

EDIT: I guess I should say im kidding before a bunch of Rebs get all bent out of shape

The aliens game sounds cool, and I enjoy the prospect of kirby, though I dont think they're going to open it up to a ten way multiplayer like Im picturing.

 

[Saltyk]

But but but. With so many other great games coming out, will I have the money for other untested games? I still have Uncharted 3, Arkham City, and The Old Republic on preorder. Okay, so I already paid off Uncharted 3 and Arkham City and I've paid half of TOR, but what if I wanna up some of those to the Collector's Editions?

Seriously, some of those sound decent, but I'm not sure about paying for games that might not be good or polished enough. Though the Aliens game and Scivelation both look promising. So many choices.

Awww. You went and edited you post. Damn. I so wanted to bash you for that.
Anyway, Georgia boy here. I can say that we're not that bad. Though Alabama probably counts more as a zoo than a state.

If nothing else, we have Chick Fil A in the South. I feel sorry that you northern folks don't get to eat there whenever you want.

Im pretty sure yours are closed on Sundays too, and we have Chick Fil A in the north. Theres one in the mall I go to, one in a plaza not even like a mile or two down the road, and one in a plaza where we have a superwalmart thats like a ten minute drive from the one in the Westmoreland mall.

Oh? I was under the impression there were none in the northern U.S. Kinda like how there are no White Castles here (do have a similar place called Krytals). I do love that movie, though.

No we have CFAs. One opened up by the walmart and gave away chicken sandwiches for free and had this overnight line waiting for opening day.

Though Ive never seen a white castle in my life, so I think thats more a mid west thing. We do have eat n parks where I live (PA) which are awesome.

Was this a recent expansion or was I grossly misinformed? I always wondered why there weren't franchises up north.

...I'm getting hungry.
Oh. Wait. Video games. Yeah, video game thread. I loves me some vidja games.

 

[Jonsbax]

I had heard about Last Crusade, but actually seeing what it's like for the first time definitely got me interested. I'm also now seriously thinking of buying 3DS just for Aliens: Infestation, at least if the reviews end up being positive.

Lucky for me, Batman: AC and Dark Souls are the only big titles I'm going to bother buying on release this year.

 

[Metalrocks]

Awesome vid as usual Jim. Aliens looks like a reason to buy a 3ds but I'm waiting for V2 which is inevitable given Ninty's track record.

Also I'm not sure my PC can handle hard reset. I have to turn all the settings down on Borderlands to keep it from melting.

you can try out the demo of hard reset. i read that people with weak systems could play the game very smoothly.

@Scivelation
i was checking on steam for this game, but it dint show anything. so i thought this game only comes out for consoles. but according to this http://www.scivelation.com/ , it will come out for the pc. guess steam will show it later.

 

[coolkirb]

We all like Kirby and he does what he does well also I like how he seems to be the charecter nintendo experiments with the most, Air Ride, Tilt n' Tumble, canvas curse, epic yarn now mass attack they allways put a cool twist on it but they also offer the classics so I think he has struck a nice balance in his games,

Wait...they really don't have Chick Fil A?? THE HORROR! That's literally the only fast food restaurant I ever go to. They have like...I dunno, a dozen of them here in Charleston.

 

[Lono Shrugged]

About 5:49 you hear a gmail chat ping. I hope Jim is getting all 4th wall meta to fuck with us.

And at the start the auto exposure on that camera needs to be disabled and so does the auto focus. Also the compression is pretty rough. JUST TRYING TO BE HELPFUL.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

I wonder if you still support your Hard Reset claim?
Because a reviewer I respect on Ars Technica wasn't too thrilled in the end, he named his review "Hard Reset review: the game ends before it begins, despite fun play".

And yes, he too was really stoked from the preview build...

I give you points for Chick Fil A, subtract some for Waffle House. But since Texas is in the south and CiCi's Pizza was founded in Texas, the South wins the world.

Anywho, I though Driver: SF was going to be the usual blah but then I saw the absurdness and loved it... now I count nothing out.

 

[Doclector]

Aliens infestation looks awesome, please don't tell me it's only on 3DS. Or not coming out in England.

Hard reset looks pretty gorram shiny as well. Thought that was coming out on 360 as well? Was I thinking of something else?

Reviewed it on Destructoid and gave it an 8/10.

So yep, I still support it!

Most of them games suck, just FPS, and there is more than enough of those out. That Aliens game was interesting, but as long as its cheap and download, then im not gonna bother.

That's not Jim's fault, it's the industry and the fact people keep feeding this beast the idea we only want FPSs.

That Aliens game was interesting, but as long as its cheap and download, then im not gonna bother.

And that's the attitude that makes most the choices FPSs. You have to be willing to give these things a chance, especially if you already admitted it looked interesting.

But the games Jim chose were boring FPS games, im not interested and will not give them a chance as that game play is simplistic and boring to me. Especially when paying full price.....renting them games will be fun. I admit that.

That aliens game does look interesting. But is either a downloadable game or a game for a mobile phone. Thus it should be a few £ in price and not worth the cost of a full price game. I was playing games like that 20 years ago. If its a downloadable game thats cheap then i will get it, but they cant sell it as a full price game. Its a simplistic sideways scrolling shoot em up. Worth maybe £6 only.
