I'm the same way. I was playing the new Lego Batman game and was bitching about the levels being too long. But that has more to do with the format of the game/the "smash shit for currency" mechanic.

sandbox has corrupted me... if I can't just run around and do shit I'm hardly interested. I hate "levels" and fucking loading screens... fuck that

but now I want to play video games

New Lego Batman game has a sandbox Gotham and linear levels. It blends them well IMO. There's a few issues, but it's the dev's first experience with open world so I can cut them some slack.

But I hear you, with the new Spider-Man game I just swing around Manhattan and find it fun as fuck. Should have some random crimes or something after the side missions are completed though.

I liked how the lego star wars worked... main area with the levels being doors that act as portals... that was ok. Those levels were huge and long too so it was good. Plus you could shoot everything in that

yeah that's where just cause 2 excelled.

There was side missions but also just a list of shit you had to accomplish and blow up + races on boat, car and plane

I mean the extra shit in that game is just endless

It's like that. Lego Gotham is a big ass portal world, as well as having a bunch of hidden shit. I definitely recommend it. If you're OCD about collecting everything, it's both great and terrible for you. Great because it's a collectathon, terrible because you'll obsess over it.

These guys went Ken Shamrock on themselves?

[SJ]

a rage business?



that

is

GENIUS!

[Chob]

I got the punching bag for rage. I don't use it nearly enough for the amount of rage I have.

[SJ]

the problem there though is you get some dipshit who drops a TV on his foot and then sues you

I can see that being an insurance nightmare

[Chob]

I wish we had shooting ranges here. I may make fun of our friends down south, but they know how to have fun.

[SJ]

why would anyone buy boobs for a chick on the internet?

Plus Drew podcasts. I'm seriously having an issue listening to everything I want to listen to, and I have fuck all to do during the day.

That says something. Probably something bad about me.

I can't help but feel Cox looked at IO and said "man people dig this all talk shit" and threw their considerable cash and weight as a company behind it and now Bubba's struggling to bring over new talent. It had to at least enter the minds of a few of the people at Cox, or Drew would never have been brought back. Drew and Bubba pretty much said that him doing his few shows on IO was what got Cox interested in him for 97X in the first place.
