A Post-MxO Life

[Vesuveus]

It's vesuveusmxo. I'm currently working on batman: arkham asylum, then maybe some modern warfare. afterthat, who knows?!

[tygrius]

I just checked on mine. it is Tygrius (suprise suprise).

I played the batman demo. It seemed good. Cant say im to into modern warfare though. I have COD4, and have played COD:WAW and COD:MW2 with my roommate, but I am just not good with the controls for that kind of game. Now, you throw them on a computer and I can handle a FPS.

[Vesuveus]

This is kind of new territory for me, too. I got the PS3 as a gift after my mma fight. I got modern warfare and ufc2009 with it. Then I went out and bought my first blu ray movie; The Matrix, of course. Then got my hands on Batman:AA. So far I am working on batman, but will venture into modern warfare after i finish batman.

I never owned a ps2 and went from super nintendo to MxO. But I think if I can understand mxo I can understand any game. UFC is the challenge because each fighter gets to increase their attribute levels like speed and power and all that crap. It was a little overwhelming when I first looked at it, but I think i'll get it.

So what kind of stuff can we do on the psn?

[tygrius]

as for stuff on the psn, the thing I love about it is multiplayer gaming is free (compared to the money hungry xbox). PS3 is more of a multimedia player. It does the games (som pretty awsome ones at that) but also is set up for photos, music, and movies.

I dont blame ya getting Matrix. I have the 10th aniversary edition, as well as the ultimate matrix set (yah i got 2 blu-ray copies of the first movie). The first blu-ray i purchased was X-men Origins: Wolverine.

As far as the blu-rays go....new movies are awsome to get it for, but if the movie isnt very action packed, I wouldnt worry about the blu-ray. Just save a few bucks and get the dvd version (unless the savings isnt justifiable). With the dvd up-scaling, dvds look awsome on hi-def tvs (I own a 40 inch, 120 hrtz, 1080p samsung). Also, older movies, unless they are really re-done, are not meant for blu-ray. I picked up a copy of "the arival" with charlie sheen a few weeks ago for 8 bucks on blu-ray, and some of the special effects look horrible when you see that much detail.

I am not sure what game I will even get next for it. To be honest, most games I get are used from gamestop or something like that. I have a hard time paying 60 bucks for a new game, especially if it does not have any online playability.

[Vesuveus]

Yeah, I agree with being selective about movies to get in Blu ray. I love the Karate Kid, but I have it on DVD and am not going to shell out the money for a blu ray copy for what? Seeing Miyagi's gray heir in HD?

And games, too. $60 + tax is a lot. Not sure how many new games I'm going to get. Probably will get Arkham Asylum 2 new when it comes out. Can't get enough of this modern Batman thing happening. Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, the modern Batman almost justifies my childhood comic collecting.

On a side note, I got a job offer today.

Yay! Congratulations!

[tygrius]

Thanks.

It is amazing really. A year ago I was settling with debt collectors because I was unemployed for over a year...paying for lunch with pennies just to get a single sandwich from mcdonalds....

Now I am finishing up an internship, just ended a TA position, and getting ready to walk into a 48K yearly salary.

I guess it just goes to show if you put your mind to it and work for it you can dig out of any hole.

lol I wish. I was starting to build a quadcore gaming system right when MxO went down /cry

Got another fight coming up next Saturday. This one will be in a cage. Video will follow shortly after the fight.

[Variel]

A cage fight?! That really kicks it up a notch!

[Vesuveus]

Yeah, it's all Hollywood'd up now. But it's actually better because there's no risk of falling out of the ring or getting a foot tripped by the bottom rope of a ring. And it adds some strategy since you're allowed to push off the cage and posts. We'll see how it goes...
