Hm I'm eavesdropping on some relationship conversations again, but this time with the binaural microphones recording. I wonder how well it'll turn out. XD

I like Steins Gate, however, for reasons of it needing to fit a certain time, its pacing for the first half was extremely not that good.

You are actually right there. It felt a bit strange. I don't see it as bad as you seem to do.
On the other hand, I can't imagine how they could have solved that problem in another way. Squeezing the whole story into only 13 episodes seems totaly impossible to me.

I feel it uses a very similar trick employed by Takashi Miike in Audition. You already knew what kind of show you were getting into with either Audition and S;G, but the strangely mundane and uneventful pacing of both somehow makes you forget that, and when the **** hits the fan, it's incredibly jarring. That and the innocent nature of the D-Mails propagating into a tragic chain of events is pretty awesome. It doesn't stand up as well on repeat viewings I agree, but I thought it was awesome the first time through

Yep, the show for the first few episodes did that because it needed 22-25 episodes to fill the anime slot. However to do it nicely, it had to keep it going with the strange so that it keeps the viewers entertained.

It was well done, but still when you break it down. They just needed an extra 6-7 eps of fillers. They can't do it with 12 episodes, so they had to go with 22-25 episodes with a continuous dual season slot.

Recording and uploading?

Yep, and thats why they had to go for the second slot and make fillers.

Would I pay $60 for Bioshock Infinite? No. The game felt like modern art. Forced, expected, and doing stuff that makes you go 'just stop, you are trying to be wordly and thoughtful outside the box, but just stop'.

I liked inf. Doesn't have any replayability, but I still enjoyed it. £39 wasn't cheap, but it wasn't expensive either.

Check above, Best Buy USA went crazy. Metro Last Light for $.01 cents. Although USA only unless you use a proxy or fake usa address.

Last light sucked. Wish I hadn't bought it, I just got caught in the hype, even though I didn't like the original Metro either.

Well there is your problem. I liked Metro 2033 :rolleyes:

 

[miceblue]

What is Metro Last Light?

And I'll upload the audio recording if it's good. There was a lot going on at the same time so I dunno what the microphones picked up.

 

[Tom Yum Goong]

I just watched the first episode of Silver Spoon.
No thanks.

I like the Harvest Moon games, but somehow the setting feels a bit dull in this anime.
And the OP is anything but good.

 

[Idsynchrono_24]

God dang it. Stuff like that makes me wish I had a decent gaming PC :l

It's the second game of the Metro 2033 series

Anyway, it seems Best Buy is cancelling orders :/

The deal has been cancelled by Best Buy people it seems. Most are getting deal cancelation notices.

I haven't really enjoyed many survival horror or post-apoc games. Fallout sucked, L4D got tired really quick, Dead Island was repetitive, STALKER series was dull and tedious but the plot was decent...etc
 
I liked Amnesia: Dark Descent and Dead Space 1+2. Those are the only modern games in those two categories I think I liked.
 
Basically, I think the entire genre sucks.

Dead Island was quite repetetive
