Escapist News Network: XBox Platinum

Well the "No PC can run Crysis" thing is kinda out too. I mean i can run Crysis with 4XAA and AF without getting framerate dips and my PC didn't exactly bankrupt me. Crysis 2 might step things up a bit but being also on consoles i expect the scale to be cut back somewhat.

indeed duke nukem forever will and will always be a joke.
and you can't go wrong with a meme!
i'm also loving the monocle attachment but it would be even more silly if i already wear glasses?

Ha that was brilliant.

'Personally tracks down people you don't like, drives to their house and punches them in the face'.

Oh hell I would pay for that.

All the DNF jokes will just transfer to Half-Life 2 Episode 3.

That's a mighty big boxing glove. Will there be an option for Uber Platinum users to have the remaining space inside the glove filled with rusty bolts and shrapnel? I mean, if I'm going to pay for someone bringing the pain in my name I might as well make the most of it.

I think that's the Uber Platinum Deluxe package

My own headset with a monocle attached to it, and if I upgrade to uber platinum I get a guy to track down people and punch them in the face?

ahh..if only. I would seriously pay for that.

The headphones with the monocle made me laugh a lot. I may get a pair.

A monocol you say? I'm interested.

Also, could someone briefly explain that meme for me? What's up with that one?

I know that it's because Arkham Asylum has failed and all the prisoners has escaped to the city. But not calling it Batman: Gotham City is just wrong.

PS Bring on Catwoman!!

I put in the spoilers so the picture doesn't take half a page ;)
Nice though, nothing more fancy than the Penguin himself xD
I am serious, monocles always make people look fancy.

Does the �berplatinum level come with its own top hat?

I would likely pay a little extra if it meant having to deal with less little kids and annoying people online. I know it was a joke, but honestly, I think something like that would actually make Xbox Live worth something. But this is one of my favorite ENNs so far.

Actually, I believe the premise for Arkham city is that Arkham Asylum got over croweded so they made a walled off area which they called arkham city. It used to be Gotham's slums or something like that.

Anyway. Good episode. I would definitely buy the gold head set with the monocle, cos its just awesome. And Duke Nukem will ALWAYS be a joke. Even then we still have half-life 2 episode 3 as a substitute.

Again....frighteningly close to the truth. Don't show this to MS, whatever you do.

Thank you, very informative.

Amarsir:
You forgot "Koreans love Starcraft".

That's actually not a joke. They have channels dedicated to it. They have the greatest players in the world there and people who live for it.

OT:
My PC still can't run Crysis on Maximum. System Requirements lab says go for it. My computer decides to do what it feels like. Usually make a clipshow about what's happening.

Calumon: Starting from zero? Doesn't everyone when making something new?

I'm saving up for the Super Uber Platinum Deluxe service where they whack the offender on the head with their own 360, then force them to watch Twilight.

DNF will never stop being funny since my best friend pre-ordered it at full price when it was FIRST announced. We were around 14 at the time, I found out 2-3 years later and just laughed. I've never stopped.

Id get it just for the golden headset.
