Just cos I haven't got enough ways to get content to my tv already - google announces google tv.

It will run on the android platform, and sony and panasonic will have it on some of their tv's, blu-ray players etc..

short review on kotaku about the 3ds. seems like it might have a bit of a way to go yet.

just bort te THQ mega pack on steam last night on my new 'puter!
$50, for $400 worth of games.
lookin' fwd to playing a bit of DoW2 + Metro + RedFaction etc.
i'll have to get Mass Effect2 and the addonpacks too.

not much longer for the steam sale peeps!
http://store.steampowered.com/

10hrs in fact

mecka · Post by **mecka** » Mon Jul 05, 2010 5:41 pm

I'm running through Mass Effect 2 again right now. The DLC isn't actually too bad - Overlord is a solid two or so hours of gameplay and the Kasumi one adds a few rather overpowered things to the game.

In the middle of also trying to finish DoW2: Chaos Rising as well as getting into Battlefield: Bad Company 2

awesome. yeah i'll have to get ME2 but also waiting on red dead for ps3 to arrive finally got around to buying it.

got daw2 an expansion as part of that THQ pack so ill have to play through the missions too. and also just got bfbc2 on pc (Had it on ps3 but now that new pc runs everything fairly well its well worth the $30 to get it on pc).

had some fun playing TF2 the other day too, old game but never really played it much and got it with the orangebox, it just got a bunch of map/other updates on steam too.

my steam + xfire Id's are both kaiproject i think, add me up anyone else who's on em!

i'm playing Bf:BC 2 too. I am officially the worst player i think i know.

mecka · Post by **mecka** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 12:17 am

well if anybody wants to friend me in bf:bc2 i play under... mecka

not that i'll be on for a while. Starcraft 2 is fucking difficult and that's just the singleplayer. Admittedly I'm playing on hard after about three years of not touching the game but we'll see how we go.

The game itself drips with style and atmosphere. Tiny details like the future-rockabilly jukebox tunes to the hilariously named Lost Viking (a reference to the Lost Vikings, one of Blizzard's first games) top-down shooter.

p.s. I fucking LOVE videogame art books and the hardcover one that came with the SC2 collectors edition is one of the best ive ever laid my eyes on.

Just got BF BC2 last night on PC.
Been years since I've played any online shooters (QIIIA being the last major one, apart from occasional TF2 dabbling).

Expecting to get reamed repeatedly and rage quit on first go.

Hahaha. Yeah its a little tricky at first but gets real fun and easier when you start getting upgrades.

I've been playing it when I get a chance, almost rank10 - Medic easiest to level up and get unlocks (drop kits, revive peeps, spam LMGs). Fun as. Assault also pretty easy and fun.

Me steam ID: Kaiproject, BFBC2 = C Kai
Addski up!

Holding off on SC2 a bit, just don't have the time atm well not to get decent at it...
