Thank you!

Man, Hillary has really gotten into shape.

[Signe]

The women in this game have man hands.  I even tried using the manicure and gold digger hands but they just look like man hands with really long fingernails.  I hope hands will be addressed in the new game.

[Bzalthek]

It's the muscle buildup.  Constant use of weapons, constant bitch smacking, constant punching, beating, grabbing, choking.  It's not man hands, it's power hands!

A third collector's edition. Still not available for PC.

I like yours the best so far, Evildrider.  S/He'd look good with the hair rollers, too.

I wish I had a million dollars for that new collector's edition.  They can keep the Prius, though.  I want the gas gobbling Lambo because I'll be president, right?

[Ingmar]

Plus it's just virtual gas anyway!

That is a dude.. and doh, myust have missed the hair curlers that would have been better!

Ain't nothin' wrong with man hands. 

[Signe]

But I like you so it doesn't matter.  As far as I'm concerned you have dainty, girly Truckasaurus hands and that's beautiful.  Actually, if they had girlie Zombified hands, I'd like that more.  And, to be quite honest, I have a piece of black graphite stuck in the palm of my hand where I was stabbed with a pencil by an angry nun when I was 7. 

I enjoy bonding with you.   

[Sky]

I have graphite in both calves. For some reason when I was a kid, jamming pencils into people's legs was a thing.

[Fordel]

We just played Nintendo when I was a kid.

Saints Row 4 Gets $1 Million Special Edition 
I wonder if they have the lambo already bought "because it's a prize" and when they don't sell the edition they just have to keep it...

[Tebonas]

A Lamborghini and a Toyota Prius? For the man who wants to save the planet one day and just be driving in style the next one?

[Sky]

The Prius is so you can drive to get gas for your lambo.

[Fabricated]

Hey, it's a daily driver and a weekend car.

[Sky]

Reminds me of one of my favorite bits.

Bit is at 2:14, but the whole thing is pretty funny. And the 'inflated' gas prices, hah.

[Signe]

I finally preordered... for the 360.  I really enjoy playing on the console and the tv with a larger screen.  I only got the normal one, not the collector edition because I couldn't justify the added expense for a gun that doesn't wub out my enemies.  The extra special collector edition is a rip off.  They only give you the run of the mill common as muck Lambo.  Even if they added in the special bits and pieces for a top of the line Gellardo, this package wouldn't be worth half that amount.  If they substituted that Lambo concept, the Egoista, I would have bought it in a heartbeat.  Yeah.

For a million bucks I want to go to space with LORD BRITISH

Only if I can leave his ass there.

Well you know what they say.... in space, no one can hear you scream.

Alas, we can still read your blog.

So yeah, this is coming out Tuesday. With that in mind I was going to play some SR3 and was looking around at mods on my break when I saw this. I have no idea how I missed this back in June (probably due to all my squeeing at their actor choice for Keith David):


So yeah, full on mod support for SR2, SRTT, and SRIV with modders talking about recreating SR1/SR2 and putting them into SR3 or SR4, as well as new cars, guns, activities, maps, etc. 

 

[MisterNoisy]

recreating...SR2 and putting them into SR3 or SR4

Holy fuck, I'd kill for this.

[Sky]

Good team to collude with. Good things will come of this.

[Segoris]

Yeah, SR1 and SR2 recreated would be insane, but (after doing some more reading I see that) according to a post from Jeff of Volition that wouldn't even be possible for a while as the SDK for map/levels/missions won't be ready.

In the meantime, tools for creating weapons and adjusting their stats, creating/editing characters, clothing, creating taunts (possibly with motion capture tools as well) will be coming out first. There is also a post with links to the github where the most up to date tool will be released, though they're still in alpha and in no way are they the actual SDK but just something to get started with and that post is found here.

However, some good news is that some tools for SRIV will be available on release day which will bring SRIV's available tools up to the level that SRTT. Volition is finding a way to tag modded characters before they're allowed to be uploaded on the official SR community site as well, so that is even further support of mods and what not while trying to keep them separate from non-modders and is very cool.

This sort of shit makes me happy THQ folded and that Deep Silver/Koch now owns Volition. Still pissed I missed this previously, but damn this is awesome

Lastly, just because...

[Signe]

I might cry happy tears.

[Rasix]

I'll admit, I may buy this just for my protagonist to be voiced by Nolan North.

Hehe yea that's the option I chose too.

I'm still only like 60% through SR3 but keep running into new ways for the game to make me laugh. I really like how these guys think. I'll definitely be checking out GTA Online* when it comes out, but there's soemthing about this world I like more. Probably simply because it takes itself less seriously.

* But jeez, could their most recent announcement trailer be any worse? I swear that voiceover was the kind of clinical marketing speak you'd normally only here in a stockholder meeting.

[Sky]

As usual, I'm the outlier...I'm much more excited to play the new GTA.

I definitely enjoy SR3, but I've got at least triple the hours into GTA 4...and the less said about my time /played in GTA:SA the better.

However, pre-order on steam vs pc version not even announced. Hopefully the co-op is drop-in and tied to steam friends...if so this place is about to get silly up in here.

[Venkman]

Well to be honest, I really did enjoy the last GTA, which was also my first one. And the new one being online introduces a bunch of new possibilities that SR4 won't have, so I'll probably pick that up too

[Sky]

FYI, pre-load was up last night. They're also selling the Season Pass, but it seemed skimpy. One weapon and two missions for $10? I wonder if it would eventually include the amount of DLC for the third game (which would be a decent deal).
