Tale

I didn't even know how to heal when I ran with Lucas. That's why I died so often.

I beat Runaway 2 and am onto Runaway 3. LA Noire is kind of running a little long for me, so I'm taking a break from it. 2 desks completed and it feels like more of the same. Though the final homicide case was exceptional, it gets right back into same old afterwards.

What I want to know is how it took 14 years to squeeze it out. It should have one of the longest and most impressive campaigns of all time. I recall it being said that it was a problem of constantly wanting to add stuff every time another new game came out. But I've not heard of anything from the final product that reflects that, such as portal guns and gravity panels.

Beat inFamous 2. It doesn't really do anything new from inFamous 1. Fewer missions that are terrible, however. I rather enjoyed it. Next I'll return to LA Noire. Alice comes out Tuesday and I'll be on both the first and second game for a few days. Eventually get back to inFamous 2 for an evil run.

The only words that exist as a suitable response to those videos would be filtered out.

inFamous 2. Haven't gotten any of the new powers yet, but am looking forward to it.

You most certainly do.

Saw Super 8 yesterday. My complaint is that the ticket cost me $15.50. It was a good movie. I don't think it'll be for everyone.

What I tend to find is that most of the time, complaints are a sign of a problem, but not specific to what the problem is. If someone dislikes a game, they generally won't understand why, so they'll reach for the obvious and public culprits. It's not what I think this type of game should be. It's dumbed down. Etc. The plot sucks. When the impacting factors are sometimes more subtle and less recognized. That is to say, when someone likes a game, they forgive the faults. When they dislike a game, they'll complain about any element of it, regardless of whether or not that's why they actually dislike it. This is the role critics are supposed to fill, by my understanding. People who actually know enough to point out these elements and understand how they contribute to the overall enjoyment of a particular game.

Pre-orders tend to be their homework. It's not an unfair way to gauge public interest. Which I think is the primary purpose all along.

I, abuse, commas, like, there's, no, tomorrow. I also vouch to boldly split infinitives at every available opportunity. Because that rule is made up.

Older gamers may not use as much of their buying power on games. Alternatively, Modern Warfare manages to sell well outside of its target.

House: You put the Queen on your money. You're British.

I thought it was a nice homage to the canon. Because it ends up putting both of Nightcrawler's parents together. But he's not an X-man in the film. However, he is a member of the Hellfire Club. Which is also wrong.

I thought having Azazel was a really nice touch. I never knew he was considered a mutant, though.

no The uploader has not made this video available in your country. What's the title?

I just hope Singularity sold well enough that more developers try their hand at the more narrative and gimmicky FPS games that Bioshock seems to have inspired. Right now it seems that only 2K is doing it (Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite, XCOM), aside from a single Activision game (Singularity). It's a bandwagon I'd like to see the industry jump on for a while.

I'm getting a page unavailable. Or more specifically.

Hah, yeah me too - that double takedown starting at 00:19 is effin nice. 1:01 is my favorite.

Doesn't the third swing do extra damage? It always seemed to absolutely murder whoever it hit.

That's a neat bit of behavior, where the cop (soldier?) is trying to resuscitate a downed civilian, while other cops are keeping lookout.

That one XCom trailer has me really excited for it.

I was just told on another forum that the demo is enabled with Nvidia 3D vision. Anyone here check that out?

Who beat the witch boss without dying? I think I died three or four times there. I have to wonder how far in the game that is. Because it was a bit of a spike in the curve.

Hang on. Your job is being tortured? Not what I wished to imply, but sure. Let us go with that.
