I have to admit, that introductory Crisis Point was annoying as heck. Especially with the tutorials running. The screen jerking from one area to another, boxes popping up then jerking to another area and the whole pacing was messy. Plus it ruins the mood of introducing the scary Sorrow.

It doesn't show "Beta" anywhere, just straight up "Torment" - my old saves from the Beta showed up as "no longer supported/previous version". Eh, but I've only wandered in for about an hours game, so it's not like I've gotten that far into it to tell if it has more than the beta did... Hm, and didn't the beta version on your Steam Library show up as "Torment - Beta Version" in the games list? I'm trying to remember now...

Well, I did have the test version unlocked on Steam.. and now it has apparently turned into the full game when I did the pre-install today. And it runs. So I've started playing it to see how it shapes up...

There is a reason I've kept my Cary Grant collection of DVD's all these years. Some of it might be silly, but they nearly all get carried off with smart dialogue and sheer elan.

Finished off Mirror's Edge Catalyst over the weekend. The combat was a bit unfun, but I did like the whole city design and the movement / running elements. Apart from a few annoyances over context sensitive controls, it worked pretty well.

Wait, is this bleeding over from politics? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APeAXKmkVcI

A little bit of thoughts and not-quite-review on Andromeda Gamespot - How ME: Andromeda's Characters Deal with Science and God

Having a dabble with Mirror's Edge Catalyst. It's a nicely addictive game to pull you in, although trying to figure out where you have to run on the Dashes is a bit of a pain if you go off-route.

I'm kind of bouncing between attempts to play Wasteland 2 Directors Cut, Pillars of Eternity (with the White Marches), and Just Cause 2. I find I'm pretty much doing them in half hour doses rather than any serious game time.
