Tale

Book or Gameboy. Now it's usually book or notepad for writing.

These are real time games? I may have to look at some videos.

I would champion it to this day if the entire third act wasn't one of the dumbest bits of railroading I've seen in years. Worse than that time my DM started setting fire to doors he wanted me to not go through. He forgot I had 5 resist to fire.

I just don't see it as being valuable. Nothing in particular against it, but I'm expecting the characters to show up about 1 inch tall on the screen. Or less. So, whether the guy is doing an overhead chop, or a sideways slash at the neck, it's not something that I see being incredibly noticeable. That said, I'm making some assumptions in coming to that opinion. If things differ from my expectations substantially, I'm up to changing it.

Beat Sleeping Dogs. I didn't do absolutely everything in the game. Since it doesn't have VTOL fighter jets or a grappling hook, there's not a whole lot to interest me once the primary content is complete. But it was still a solid game.

Everyone will have a home. It's just some will end up in a rather impoverished house. Everything gets sold to pay debt. If they need to sell everything, everything finds a place, even if it's in the hands of the insurance company that makes up the difference to debtors. If they don't need to sell everything, THQ gets to keep some stuff, which they may then sell for operating capital.

I think I'm almost done with Sleeping Dogs. It's hard to tell. I've been capped on face and cop XP for a while. I just maxed melee. But I'm only level 8 for triad XP.

Playing Black Ops II. So far it's worth the 2.17 rental fee. And if I beat it today, that's all it will have cost. Edit: This is probably the greatest case of wasted potential I've ever seen. It's... good. But there's so much in it that belongs in a better game. Cool gadgets you use once. Interesting locales you never really get to explore. If this were more open, like a sandbox game, it would blow everything out of the water.

Exactly. There is a easy way to kill the taurus demon. Fun thing about this strategy is it may cause the boss to commit suicide.

It was a glitch, but that was the price for a while. People bought it.

If you like sandbox car theft games, sure. It's a good one combined with Hong Kong crime drama and Kung Fu action.

I'm playing Napping Canids. But I think I'm going to take a break before repetitive burnout sets in. What to play, what to play. Maybe Chains of Satinav?

Challenge should come from the enemies, preferably from their tactics and and environments, not from the control system being limited.

Nobody's ever going to implement it because that console would be DOA.

Because GTA is boring as heck. But I'm liking Sleeping Dogs for the combat.

I liked the Crystal Dynamics trilogy. And I hear good things about Guardian of Light. Not so much this second reboot.

This sale is killing me. I got Dark Souls and Sleeping Dogs today. Sleeping Dogs, AWAY. I hope the kung fu action makes up for not being able to hijack jets. Just Cause 2 and Saint's Row The Third spoiled me on that. GTA 4 bored me.

Had some champagne and did not nearly enough writing.

How are the top tier talents for Gunzerker and Commando? I just got the Assassin talent that refreshes deception with melee kills. So I get to just zoom around the map killing everyone while invisible. At least until I misjudge the timer on a heavier target.

You a particular adventure game fan? I can easily recommend it to anyone that's a Monkey Island fan, but they're few and far between nowadays.

If you're interested in Dark Souls, it is $2 cheaper on Amazon, then there's a possible $5 off if you bought a digital download in December. I love Amazon's price matching.

Finished Borderlands 2's main story. Not sure if I'll jump right into the DLC, hit up Sleeping Dogs, Of Orcs and Men, or LEGO Lord of the Rings. Decisions, decisions.

My thought upon seeing the thread title was "what is New York planning now?" Oh, you're talking about New Years. I'm not much for holidays, but I might pop out some sparkling wine.

Most accounts have it as shorter. And it's sadly bit more corridor-y than Halo 1 or Reach. But I think it has the best writing of the franchise.

Woo, just found a gun with a +100% melee damage mod. I wonder if they get better.
