What are you playing now?
I'm starting to improve in the Bayonetta 2 demo. I got my first gold for a segment today in my best ever run through the demo level going silver-silver-gold through the 3 segments of the level. I'm still far from getting that platinum and light years away from pure platinum, but I'll take any progress as a positive. I'm starting to get pretty good timing on the dodging and am getting rewarded with a good bit of witch time (if you dodge at the last split second you go briefly into witch time, where time slows down for everyone except you). I definitely need to spend a lot more time learning different combos, though. Right now there are 3 combos I can do instinctively and a couple more I can do about half the time and mess up half the time in the middle of an intense battle. I'm going to need much more variety than that if I'm going to strive for pure platinum.

Nah, she chopped her hair short of Bayonetta 2 and retained all her powers. If she was Samson she's be pretty much useless in the sequel.

More Bayonetta 2 demo. I actually did worse overall today than yesterday. I had short bursts where I was kicking ass and playing really well, but then it would all fall apart. I've gotten more of the combos down, but I'm still thinking too hard about using them and it's messing up my timing on dodging. I need more practice until those combos become second nature, then it will be on to a new set of combos to master to up my variety. I've got a couple of the enemy types in the demo timing down pat as to when to dodge, but a couple other enemies I'm still struggling with. I tend to dodge too early for those enemies. More practice needed.

Much better than new Emo Dante, though. Emo Dante is the worst.

Her figure is all types of absurd and disproportionate, head included. Her legs are ridiculously long. Platinum's not exactly shooting for gritty realism in their games, though, so I'll give them a pass.

Agreed mostly. V and VI were the pinnacle of the series, in my opinion, such phenomenal games. IX was the last great game in the series, X was still pretty good, but starting with X-2 it started to really slide downward. I didn't care for XII, and XIII was a borderline train wreck, which is too bad because they nailed the combat system, it's just too bad everything else was such a mess.

Bayonetta 2 demo. You guys, it's so freakin' good. Also, I'm pretty terrible at the game, but I'm starting to improve. I went Bronze-Stone-Bronze the first time through the demo, Silver-Stone-Silver the second time, and Silver-Silver-Bronze the third time. Baby steps.

So, I just found out that Nintendo released a Bayonetta 2 demo on the eShop today. My reaction: Well, so much for me playing any more Wasteland 2 today. Heck, I might not even watch NFL football. Now I'll be staring at the clock for the rest of the work day trying to will the hands to move faster.

The combat system was good, but the game was essentially a single corridor. Plus, it was laden with quite possibly the most boring, personality-less, cardboard cutout of a main protagonist the series has ever had. Anyway, it seems we won't have to wait long for the next round of GabeN's assault on our wallets. Word round the campfire is that there will be a Halloween Sale starting on the 30th. Too early to get a sale on Costume Quest 2, right? I'm going to buy the game one way or another to play this Halloween, even a 10% off would somewhat satisfy my inner cheapskate. I'll also maybe scoop up Tropico 5 if it's discounted heavily enough, though part of me wants to hold off for the inevitable Complete Edition as they will undoubtedly milk several more DLCs out of it over the next year or so.

It's made by the devil himself. I'm pretty sure there's a clause in the EULA where you forfeit your soul to Dread Lord EArts.

Depending on how you look at it, none, or up to 5GB. Both the PS4 and the XBone use custom AMD Jaguar APUs, and, like all AMD APUs, there is no dedicated vRAM, the CPU and GPU share the RAM. Both consoles have 8 GB of RAM and both reserve around 3GB for the system to use, leaving 5GB for games.

Does anyone actually use Dell products? From what I can tell the general consensus is that they are pieces of ****. I have a couple year old Dell laptop. No complaints.

I'm starting to get the feeling that Bruce might just be trolling us at this point. If so, bravo sir, bravo. Well played. I tip my hat to you.

Congratulations, Bruce, you just reached a new level of hypocrisy. And that right there sums up nicely not everything, but a good part of what I hate about SJWs. "Hey guys, it's wrong to stereotype other people and put false labels on them. Hey, why are you getting mad because we stereotyped you and put false labels on you? Why are you bothered by this?"

Mass Effect 4 Thoughts and opinions
1) Most likely not, unless EA and BioWare suddenly start supporting either Linux or WiiU. 2) We know almost nothing about it. It's pretty hard to hold an opinion on something you have nearly zero information about (that doesn't stop some people). 3) It will make a metric ****ton of money. BioWare hasn't misfired enough in the eyes of the average mainstream consumer yet for them to lose a significant amount of business and the BioWare name is still a well known and very marketable one.
