About
I play games. Lots and lots of games. I am usually on xbox live every day when im not at work. When im not on Live im lurking on here. I've been here probably since the beginning of the site and didnt really realize it till just recently. I play lots of rpg's. Currently trying to finish many of my Atlus rpgs for PS2. If anyone would like to Coop games or play multiplayer on Live send me a friend request. Currently with the influx of female gamers on Dtoid im wondering if anyone would like to join my Live list. No one reads these side blogs usually so Im going to continue to rant on. Or maybe im not.

Oh Yeah Tokyo Beatdown for DS looks badass also
Phantasy Star Zero Online for DS also looks cool.

Dear Destructoid I know I lurk around here and read your posts and dont contribute much but thats for another topic and another time. It used to be when I log in 4 times a day I would at least see one post from Electro lemon in the c-blogs almost everyday. Most of it granted was complete nonsense but it was a tradition to see his stupid posts about fake trips, why he wanted to love his dreamcast even more and many rants about bein poor because he cant afford every game of the week. So I ask you where the frak is electro lemon I wanna read about you more often.

On to the real reason why I blogged today, If you dont like DLC dont fucking buy it. Seriously RE5 charged you something that was on the disc already($4.00 seriously, hours of multiplayer or a cheeseburger and fries or one pack of cigarettes, thats a tough choice), dont buy it. Namco lets you buy lvl ups, dont buy it. EA lets you pay to break there games. DONT FUCKIN buy it. You should be glad that the original idea of turning every game into a korean cash shop didnt happen. I remember when they did a mock up of xbl before it happened and they were like with forza motorsports we'll be able to sell things like premium rims and tires and every piece of car will be a microtransaction. Like .40 cents for rims and 1.00 for tires. Just be glad that the companies havent released the games that could potentially be set up like Special Forces and people would pay for it. (Special Forces or so I've been told is a free to play game that grossed over $6 million in micro-transactions). Imagine if they sold you half the game for $40 and then multiplayer and added characters were $20 for every game. Then you can start complainin but until then we probably shouldnt antagonize the dlc'ers into a worse situation than people think it is now.

Oh yeah one more thing giving residuals to voice actors is a very bad thing to suggest dtoid editors unless you want games to start retailing for much more than they already do.(more about that later)

End wall of text.

P.s. More posts today pending

He's still active with the destructoid community, just outside destructiod. Dunno why he doesn't comment/blog as much

On another note, he owes me a prize for finding out a secret in a video of his

WHERE'S MY GODDAMN PRIZE?
It sounds like someone doesn't get it.

"Imagine if they sold you half the game for $40"

That already happened; it's called Beautiful Katamari.
If Capcom wanted to charge me $55 for the game and another $5 for the multiplayer, I would be cool with that and would agree with your argument. But that's not how it works. Capcom is setting a dangerous precedent here. How would you have liked paying $60 for the campaign mode in Halo 3, but the be charged $15 for the online (as they actually seem to have spent much more developing the multiplayer)? Or Gears? Or Call of Duty? Or whatever action games that attempt to give a rich campaign mode but realize that online multiplayer pulls in tons and tons of customers and expands their user-base.

Since I don't play most games' online multiplayer (fighting games being an exception), I would love your idea of $40 for the campaign, and the option to buy the multi. But that aint how it works.

When somebody puts a pricetag on things that used to be free you end up with this. Because, as Eric Idle says at the end of the clip, "Ah well, there's one born every minute."
What haxan said. All defense of this method of DLC is like the 'If you don't like America, you can get out' argument.
Gynolectric Cobron? He's also all over Twitter.
haxans so smart and dreamy
