Just finished Man vs. Wild. You drink your own pee.

Yew. I watched a video where it shows him drinking it. He definitely "swallowed" and said I believe that it tasted, "salty".

I guess I would if I were THAT thirsty, but I pray it never gets that bad in the desert.

Your own urine's salt 'taste' depends on how much water you have previously had... given extreme situations in the past, I would say that by the time you are to the point of drinking your own *SQUEE*, it IS rather salty. But, in a refreshing kind of way.

Epic.

I've played ME1 & 2 all the way through twice now and I'll probably give it another go just before ME3 comes out.
WHAT ? Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus... I can't find the time to FINISH ME2 and I have had it since it came out !!

Good job dude !

Wow !

Hahaha....it's actually easier the second time since you can continue with your points, weapons and armor (at least for ME1). ME2 is not quite as generous, you do get to keep your weapons, but you have to build them up as you go.

Hmmm, zesty. Pour it on as a condiment or a soy sauce substitute.

Just finished Tomb Raider Legend for the 360. It's the weakest of the TR games so far, IMO. The game is very short and there is not much imagination put into the various puzzles to be worked out. The same ones are basically used over and over. I almost stopped playing at one point because it was so repetitive. Also, it really felt and looked like a last gen game. I think they just made a few quick tweaks and put it on the 360 to make more $$$.

The controls were ok for the most part, but there are some moves that become awkward and clunky to perform, especially during a few of the boss battles. Zero replay value as well. Steer clear unless you find it for cheap. I got for under 10 bucks.

Civ II was the best Civ now and forever. I hate III so much I can't even put it into words. I have IV. Tried to play it a few times but I could never get into it.

I've never been a Civ player so all new to me. To be fair I doubt you'd like this one, its been stripped back and simplified heavily to make it quicker and good for multiplayer. I only picked it up as a couple of mates are currently playing it.

The Xbox 360 demos for Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale, and Halo: Reach.

Daniel Jackson · Post by **Daniel Jackson** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 12:55 pm

Just starting Halo 3. Since this is the first Halo game I've played I had to watch the cinematics from the first two games on youtube to get caught up with the main plot line. It's a pretty cool story.

David_Cody · Post by **David_Cody** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 1:01 pm

Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale. It's the first role-playing game I've ever played.

Knightt · Post by **Knightt** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:10 pm

I think I have made yet ANOTHER catastrophic mistake and bought a game before reading any reviews or trying the demo... Hunted: The Demon Forge.

I think it may be wasted money.

It is from Bethesda so I thought it would be alright but from the beginning I was not impressed. I think I will take it back, take the hit and buy the THOR video game (yeah, it is that bad).

Been playing lost planet 2, not a bad game. The campaign mode is pretty good.

kevinbastos · Post by **kevinbastos** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:36 pm

Anyone else played Infocom games lately?

Picked up the CD-Rom a few years ago, and I've re-played Planetfall, Stationfall, Zork I, etc.

Falling in love again!

Infamous, Sonic the Hegdehog 2, Dragon Age II, and Mass Effect 2

That one is really less of TR game and more like Diablo. I might download it at some point though, it does look kinda fun.

Had never heard of this. Got a decent review.

EDIT: Ah, it's PS3 only. No wonder I hadn't heard about it. Looks like fun.

I've played this since day one... BEAUTIFUL game. A bit tedious at times but that is because it is easy to blow away 10,000 zombies. I am not sure exactly what number I am at but in real life I would have melted through hundreds of weapon barrels by the sheer number of bullets fired and zombie brains splattered. One of the shots, if you hold the fire button down it goes the length of the screen and wastes whatever is in it's path.

When you get bum-rushed, your adrenaline will spike.

I think this is multi-player... want to co-op ?

I have never played a single game on the PS3 in multiplayer and I would need to recharge my earpiece/mic to communicate but this game would seriously be 'mo funner' with a buddy.

Do you have one of those nifty, immerse X-Box Live headphones that are out there? I saw one at Best Buy made by Turtle Beach that looked pretty cool.

Yes I do... I have the Turtle Beach Ear Force X1 headphones w/ mic. I highly recommend them. I hardly ever play any multiplayer games but when I have they worked great.
