The biggest surprise here is that True Grime... err, Crime was still around. I thought that series had been axed years ago. It was going to be a reboot.

Because changing the ethnicity of a famous chicago gang is fantastic! </sarcasm>
Ok I hate this show with a passion (mostly for the black lords, gah that makes me angry every time I think about that) but the show is getting enough buzz that I figure why not make a place for people to discuss it.

as much as I hate to support sex criminals, I'm going steelers.
Also, I marked when art donovon appeared during that declaration reading.

I'm actually posting from a snowbank right now.
Ok not really, but my driveway has been a bitch to clear of snow. I may have pulled my back from just that alone. My brother who lives in the city got it the worst since he lived by wrigley field and apparently the stadium became sentient and started to attack people.

The plot seems interesting enough (I just wish the Giant Bomb guys would shut up for a second so I'd hear and possibly understand 0.38% of what the characters are saying) and I like the music, but the gameplay really doesn't look all that entertaining. If this ever makes it to the west, I'll probably just watch a Let's Play or something. EDIT: OH GOD GIANT ZOMBIE DEMON BABY THING you could always just read the subtitles.

giant bomb did a quick look of the cathy demo: www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-catherine/17-3730/I'm diggin the music, and I really like how the game is fast and combo based. I'll definitely get it even though it'll probably be overpriced.

FFXIII isn't that bad, but this is definitely the wrong direction for square to go.
And yes I'll stand here and tell you that FFXIII isn't that bad. In a world where Magna Carta 2 exists, Final Fantasy XIII can't be one of the worst JRPGs ever made.

Damnit, and last year was so good about not killing off major superheroes.
Hell the only major super hero who got killed off last year was nightcrawler.

So I'm planning out the pokemon I'll train up in this game. I've decided on three so far: Fire/Grass starter Goruuguand ShubarugoI'll probably need to find someone to trade with to get shubarugo, but that team seems pretty strong so far.

so NIS America is bringing over hyperdimension neptunia, a game about anime girls who represent the current consoles fighting a literal console war. That... sounds so incredibly stupid that it has to be great. Here's some gameplay of the japanese version: apparently the main character is supposed to be based off the sega neptune, a console that was canceled.

But in a lot of cases it's actually harder to exploit glitches to speed run the game, than to actually play the game normally. Like that portal speedrun where the guy is out of bounds for half the game. Or metroid prime 2, where you can skip the part where you lose all your upgrades. I don't really think it matters. Those are part of the game, and it's hard to say you completed a game in a certain amount of time if you skip long stretches of it because you abused a jumping glitch. You haven't read a book if you read the first chapter then skip to the end. Likewise, you don't complete a game if you use programming errors to skip parts of it (or use bots to do work for you). I guess we have to agree to disagree then. It's still interesting watching this though:

I think savescumming and bots are horse crap. You're not really speedrunning anything unless you're playing the actual game. Yeah, and doing it with the whole game. Exploiting glitches so you skip 99% of it shouldn't count either. There's no real skill being shown in avoiding actually playing a game.
