I stopped drinking bud cause it left a foamy taste in my mouth heh I don't know maybe I was drunk and just felt foamy I don't know.

infamous haven't tried it but it must be good enough for them to make a movie about it, though like travis I would play the evil side show no mercy.

screw activision they're the new EA of gaming blocking brutal legend, I hate companys who lower their standards to their fanbase.

the respect for activision was high but went down after what they have been pulling and they wonder why they have low sales haha

plus nice beatles drum set.

On the subject of good stories in video games I think a good little chunk of games do have them. But what they lack are good narrative and progression. Or in other words storytelling. The stories themselves aren't quite that bad. But the way they are handled makes them seem worser than are. Take GoW for example and it's approach to storytelling compared to other hack and slashers such as DMC.

When playing through GoW you feel as though you're moving through Kratos's storyline along with getting a few cutscenes of explaining some backstory. But it's nothing that beats you over the head. While in other series of the same genre kind of just shoehorn the story into the game to break up the monotony. Similar things could be said of other games where you the seamlessness of progression in gameplay, story, and narrative just isn't synchronized that well and makes the story feel flat, flaky and at times out of place.
