RETIRED: Mal and Paint's *Official* Chat Thread - Maybe you should have a nice glass of shut the fark up :mad:

I play on ps3, it was between ps3 and wii, and rockband on wii sucks. ps3 I really like, especially because they take advantage of surround sound, if you have the speakers, I like the audio mix more than guitar hero on ps3, and the wii couldn't come close to either one of them.

it's a great game to have friends over and play, have a couple beers and out. my one friend, she refuses to hold the guitar controller like a guitar, she just puts it in her lap and uses her thumb to hold down the frets... she'll never make it past easy

and you can play the ps3 version online, ocassionally I'll play with my buddy back in DC, we've even done it with two people there and myself in NV

You know, being an actual musician, I kind of dismissed the whole thing for a long time. Then it so happened that the kid wanted it for Christmas, and Target had a clearance deal on Guitar Hero: World Tour for $25... so I bought that in September, and figured I should "test" it.
Then for the next few weeks we waited until the kids were in bed and got it out and played
I have it for PS3.

That's what we have, a PS3. I like it okay. I grew up with Nintendo though, so I miss all my old friends - Mario, Yoshi, Zelda, etc.

But I have to say, I LOVED Dragon Age - OMG, that has to be one of my most favorite ever.

Yup, now that you've mentioned it, it will happen.

Never call trouble by name.

Oh, Mal:

Thanks for the thread title.
I didn't have a chance to check SD today until late in the afternoon.

I'm worried about what I've read about DA2 so far

So how's it feel to turn 21 yet again?

Madison — State elections officials narrowly rejected a Milwaukee Assembly candidate's attempt to run with the slogan "NOT the 'whiteman's bitch' " under her name on the ballot.

Ieshuh Griffin, a Milwaukee independent running to replace retiring Rep. Annette "Polly" Williams (D-Milwaukee), said in response she would sue the Government Accountability Board for infringing on her freedom of speech.

"I'm not making a derogatory statement toward an ethnic group. I'm stating what I'm not," Griffin told board members. "It's my constitutional right to freedom of speech."
In other action, the state elections agency Wednesday knocked three state Assembly candidates and one congressional candidate off this fall's ballot but kept U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Madison) on it.

Unlike candidates from the established Democratic and Republican parties, independents are allowed a five-word statement of purpose on the ballot to explain to voters what their candidacy is about.

Shane Falk, a staff attorney for the Accountability Board, said that the board had the ability to restrict obscene or derogatory candidate statements from the ballot.

The board staff ruled that the statement should not be allowed. With one member absent, the board voted 3-2 in favor of reversing that ruling and allowing the wording. Under board rules, however, four votes are needed to overturn a staff decision.

As a result, Griffin will be on the ballot with "independent" by her name and nothing else.

Board member Thomas Barland, who voted to allow Griffin to make the statement, said he thought it was not obscene and "not racial." But Roxanne Dunlap of Sussex, a citizen attending the meeting, told the board that she found the statement offensive and believed that a white person making the opposite statement - "not the black man's bitch" - would be sharply criticized.

Griffin, who describes herself as a "30-ish" community activist, said she had attempted unsuccessfully in the past to run for a position as a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge. She said she will appeal the board's decision in federal court.

The board found that Republican Paris Procopis, who was attempting to challenge Rep. David Cullen (D-Milwaukee), came up eight signatures short of the 200 needed to gain access to the ballot.

That leaves Cullen without an opponent from a major party, though he will face a challenge by Constitution Party candidate Lisa Becker.

that's the funny part, I am NOT a traditional video game player, even though I had plenty as a kid. my ps3 collection includes three rock bands, two guitar heros, DJ Hero, MW2, grand theft auto, dirt 2 and gran turismo 5 prologue. and GTA I never got any where close to beating

I also have the Wii, and I didn't like the widely acclaimed super smash bros, and was never much for super mario galaxy, regarded as one of the best mario games of all time. I'm more about the party games - boom blox, wario ware shake it, mario party, etc.

Actually, I just turned 39 for the 13th time.

how classy is my hometown? very

Board rejects 'whiteman' ballot language from Milwaukee candidate

I play all those except the music ones. And OMG, I've LOVED super smash bros ever since it first came out. Haven't played it on anything later than the game cube, though.

I kick butt as kirby!

Wow....

super smash bros is very popular, it's just not my thing

there's a reason I'll never move back to Milwaukee. that is a city that has issues. and I grew up in the city, too, not out in the suburbs, I know what it's really like in that town.
