Massacre

Ah, you went realistic. I couldn't help myself, and made things insane and Final Fantasy-esque. One of the sketches got so huge and ridiculous, I had to make it a polearm just so it would make sense balance-wise.

Yeah, I started thinking about it more and drew up a few sketches, I'll scan and upload them in a sec. Until then, the basic look is something kind of tech/cyberpunk, like this: But thinner, and double-bladed like this: with electricity arcing between the two blades. I've got a basic idea of how it should look, but I'm having trouble finding a balance between an angular cyberpunk sword and something more curved to match the aesthetic of the Tesla coil. I definitely like the circuit board pattern engraved in the blades, though.

To differentiate from inFamous 2's Amp, might I suggest replacing the two coils with a single Tesla coil? It would look more unique and the coil could serve as a hand guard. Actually, it might be better to just make two weapons, if you're so inclined, because as I was typing this I thought of how awesome an electric broadsword with a Tesla coil hand guard would be.

Yeah, they have a bunch of those signs in the game. They have a sign for all the GTA cities, if I remember correctly.

Fuck yeah.

You could just buy a card for Microsoft Points/whatever they're called on PS3. Back when there were actually things to download, I would just buy a 4000 point card and be good for the year. I think I had to buy two cards for 2009, though. Lot of DLC that year.

Yeah, the only people that will see this art are people that pick up a download card from Gamestop. Unlike Fallout 3, you won't be able to buy the DLC on a disc until the GOTY Edition comes out (around October, I imagine). I really don't know what the point of buying a download card is, though, aside from wanting to give your money to Gamestop instead of Microsoft or Sony.

Manhunt 2?

There isn't. Yakuza, couple of outlaw motorcycle clubs, and a bunch of identical native gangs. They never make cities look stupid. They make fun of the vast amount of idiots and scumbags (every city's got 'em) and leave normal people alone. I mean, they didn't make NYC or Miami or LA look stupid, they just made fun of the assholes in the city. New Orleans would make a great setting, although, between the voodoo practitioners and alleged inbred swamp people, it might not work so well with R*'s sudden hard-on for realism.

Well, Hawaii only has the 43rd highest number of murders as of 2009. Louisiana was the highest as of 2009, so if we're going solely on murders, then New Orleans is the way to go. As far as crime in general, Nevada was the highest last year, so that's Las Vegas/Las Venturas. Hawaii's crime mostly consists of tourists getting mugged. Having Hawaii as GTA V's setting would be more about having the game take place in an interesting city than having it take place in a city with tons of crime. For example, St. Louis, Missouri was the most dangerous city in America last year, but it wouldn't be a good GTA setting because the city itself is boring as shit. They've got one notable landmark, and even that one sucks. I don't really know where I'm going with this, but, yeah...

Someone would turn it into GTA V in no time.

Hawaii would be good, the only downside is that the second they announced it was taking place in Hawaii, the forums would be flooded with "OMG i want shraks adn be abel 2 surf!!!1!111eleven!" And things of that nature.

Anything that wasn't shown or said in the Qore episode, people are just pulling from info the Vault has on the cancelled Fallout 3 by Black Isle. It's a pretty safe bet that Obsidian will be using most of the stuff they didn't get to use in their Fallout 3. Also, I'm pretty sure the part about altering your looks is straight from someone from Obsidian, it's accurate. I think it might be a new perk that allows you to change your looks, actually.

After dating Michelle/Karen in GTA IV, for a while I thought that all the girlfriends would have a brief story and a few missions to do involving them. Kiki's (the jealous stalker, for those who don't remember) story would have been fun. You'd have to avoid her like you avoid the cops; taking sudden turns, speeding into parking garages to switch cars, jumping off a bridge and swimming away, etc. If they continue using dating as a side activity, they need to do it this way. Aside from a few funny stories, I got nothing out of buying my girlfriend a burger and driving her home to watch the camera bob around while the controller vibrated.

I would rock that shirt in black, but I wouldn't pay a bunch of money for one. As a matter of fact, I would rather modify one of the shirts I already have than even bother look for a similar shirt in a store. Also, notebook? I got a notebook. Pencils, too.

So, if they're planning on keeping up with the "Honest Hearts in May, Old World Blues in June, Lonesome Road in July" thing, there should be a trailer tomorrow, with the DLC releasing on the 28th. Or they'll just delay it...

Yep. As do I. The Mafia Sentinel got me through some serious shit more times than I can remember. The Mafia Sentinel was and still is my favourite GTA car of all time. I still like the Sports and Xs versions of the sentinel in black. That is the most nostalgic thing about GTA for me. The "Mafia" scene really had the most memorable impact on me in GTA III, and i still wait for some decent Italian mafia storyline in GTA once again... I had a little nostalgiagasm when I noticed that the mafia (when you could tell them apart from regular peds) in GTA IV also drive sentinels.

This only further strengthens my belief that anyone who isn't from the GTA-SanAndreas.com/GTA4.tv/iGrandTheftAuto.com/iGTA5.com forums is a worthless piece of shit who has no business breathing our air.

You could jump in both games. You couldn't climb until San Andreas, though.

Yeah, I expect Nightstalkers and Deathclaws to be in Old World Blues, although Deathclaws weren't created in the Mojave area, I don't think. What I don't understand is why there aren't rattlesnakes in the game. You always hear them in the background music, Nightstalkers came partially from them, and they're almost as likely to survive a nuclear holocaust as a cockroach. Not that what happened to the Mojave qualifies as a holocaust. They could even have made them gigantic radioactive rattlesnakes (raddlesnakes?) and I would have been happy.

I've been following those sounds lately, and when I hear them (usually in Freeside) it's actually a shootout going on. I thought that was just background noise, too. If I didn't know better, I would consider leaving the next time I heard a building creak...

As do I. The Mafia Sentinel got me through some serious shit more times than I can remember.

He attended my bi-weekly Legion of Doom meeting via satellite, but I haven't heard from him other than that.

My surveillance logs say yes. Also pegging.
