Your grammatical integrity is restored, Dave. At least to what it was before...

Lono... welcome to the Wii crowd, man! Now get yourself some Brawl, some No More Hero, and some Metroid Prime 3.... ok for the moment you may want to wait on the last... there is a chance we will see a Prime trilogy boxed on the Wii, so patients may serve you well (Prime 1 and 2 should NOT be missed, iether).

Arrr great show me mateys.
I have changed my GTA pirate girl btw. She actually was the default character model that I started with for some reasons.

Hey Doc, just set yourself to appear offline when you just want to play the single player game with out a ton of invites, rather than pulling the Ethernet cable out.

Free Mode ROCKS!!!

I never bought Battlestations: Midway, but if it's only $20 it sounds goo to me.

Great episode as usual. I need to do the free play and hold down Times Square. I tried to do free play on Saturday, and it was just guys with racial remarks and AK-47's blasting everyone as soon as they spawned. Also, thanks for mentioning the Off-Topic Gamers Podcast. We actually released our podcast yesterday, and Leslie's part was awesome. We talked with her about Mother's Day gift ideas, being married to a gamer, and what game(s) she plays as a non-gamer. Check it out at:http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=278085515.

Dave, did you check with Webster (http://timstvshowcase.com/webster1.jpg) about funnest?


You could also listen to Gamercast Network Pirate Radio if you have Media Connect (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/digitalmedia/pc.htm) on your PC so you can listen to music whilst playing.

Free mode is great with some friends, me and my mates made a giant road-block of buses and firetrucks in the middle of The free-way from Dukes to Bohan and just gunned down every car and bike and police officers that attempted to step onto the bridge.

:lol::lol::lol:

Also Hangman's NOOSE is great.

To the Burger Joint! It's our only hope!

You'd think cops that fat would know how to get into that place. It was still crazy fun, though.

I would think that they would have fixed that burger joint thing from the other games, especially because when I was in tw@ the cops still came in and chased me :lol:

I, too hate Roman, and I hope there is a mini-game where I can pimp slap him. Maybe I should invite him out for drinks and then shoot him...

Nice. I got really pissed off at him when playing pool (I was trying to get the pool shark achievement) but I finally won, about one match before I was going to shoot him in the face :lol:

How the heck did OXM give Kane & Lynch an 8.0 back in December? (http://www.oxmonline.com/article/xbox-soapbox/kane-lynch-dead-men?page=0%2C1)
Yet another reason I let my subscription run out.

You know, I never found that game that terrible. It wasn't a great game, or even a good game, but it wasn't the total crapfest that people were saying it was. I wouldn't give it an 8, but there are certainly plenty of games that are worse then it. The story definitely could have been better (and how the chapter titles were the line they said directly before or after it popped up), the cover system needed work, but it was still playable for me.

I'm not saying it was the worst game, but an 8 seems too high. I would say 6.5 or 7 at the highest. Especially when you consider that when they give an 8 is means great according to their ratings key.

Ok, thanks for clarifying, but what I said wasn't really directed at you, just to everyone who has talked about it like it is an absolutely god-awful game

Going back to GTA IV.
In the single player, I'm assuming when the cell phone rings and you're either busy trying to do something else, or just don't want to be bothered, that it is better to hit the B button to ignore the call rather than to answer and tell an NPC No and risk them being annoyed.
Any thoughts?

The mod is called 'Hot Coffin.'

No, if you accept their request and then Immediately call and cancel, you don't lose face with them.

I've called and canceled and get the thumbs down then from them though. Maybe I waited to long to cancel.

I was listening to this today. I ended falling asleep because I was tired.

I'll have you know that I feel like less of a man now having to admit that I fell asleep to your voices.

However, when I woke up I felt refreshed...which makes me nervous.
