SanAn has good plotthreads, but considering Sweet is a stupid smallminded petulant little shit, I just couldn't get involved in the main story at all.

You spend what? 85% of the plot trying to bang him out of jail while he makes annoying whingey calls at you and then the final 15% TRYNA GET BACK TO DA HOOD YO YO YO and when CJ calls him out on his gormless self-destructive worldview, his only response is basically 'Fuck you CJ, we belong in the gutter.'

I just want to reiterate that none of that post was actually intended to be approached seriously and if you did then take a hint next time I start talking about Playstation Death fumes.

I thought this and wondered why people were making full blown, argumentative responses.

Because of this:

Now I assume he was just venting or something.

Poor Mac, he wanted to be taken sarcasticly and funny, and was taken serious instead.
Poor Mac.

I only played Halo 2. The series seems okay but not really something I would buy another system for.

I'm delicate, like those flowers that smell like rotten meat that Vultures mate over.

Delicate.

I don't know if this is 'playing' so much as 'keeping up with' but I've been playing the Dropsy the Clown ARG/adventures. They're really silly and fun.
Listen to this:

That genuinely scared me. It's stuck in my head and now I constantly feel anxious and unsettled.

I now have to play the shit out of it until it doesn't bother me anymore.

Finished The Binding of Isaac 2 more times last night. I'm at 4 mom kills.

I don't know why I'm suddenly good at this game.

Cain is the best character, as much as I love Judas for taking the tedium out of the early game. The pill bonuses are too good to pass up.

You should seriously consider Wrath of the Lamb. The challenges let you get to grips with some of the rarer items early on, so you can use them better when you do find them.

Samson's pretty cool.

About half-way through Lucius. Very fun and slightly disturbing with some irritating mechanics that slow it down a little bit. Nice atmosphere though.

I want to at least beat It Lives once before I get the DLC. I might also try for Sheol as every character, but I don't really know how viable that is. Magdalene is so weak at the start of a run that I usually get impatient and make lots of devil deals, ending in my death even with the Yum Heart.

So, I pre-ordered Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 because I really want to play a mindless shooter again and I sort of want to know what happens in the campaign because I actually did like the first one. Well, it was supposed to be here four days ago but even though the store already sent it to me, someone fucked up something in that process and pretty much everyone who ordered it from them still haven't got the game, including me. Pre-order my ass, never fucking buying anything from them again, now I have to wait over the weekend to get my hands on it. Until then, I guess I'll play the first one's multiplayer mode to get used to CoD again.

Ha. You use the mail.

Considering that's the only way to get games cheap around here, yes, I do. A new game costs 69,90€ in a retail store (so around 80 bucks), but if I get it online, I can get it for twice as cheap so go figure.

I feel your pain man. I do this as well, for console games, that is. Which store did you pre-ordered from?

CDON, it's a Swedish web-store that is also pretty popular in Finland.

Ha. I live in the land of opportunity.

I usually use UK-based stores, since they usually have great deals with games. Weather could be the cause for the late shipping, as it already happened with me 2 or 3 times.

Also:

I'd much rather play Street Fighter on a console. Control stick is kinda needed.

I guess it'd be good for killing time though.

On a trip or something, is always good to have a fighting game, but yeah, the game it's way harder to get the huge combos on the iPad, because how imprecise it is, next to the controller/arcade stick.

I really don't like playing games on a iPad or iPhone with the transparent buttons, I just find it so awkward to play with.

Give me a controller any day :)

I could play Oddworld in Android with no major problems. But other games just aren't as easy.

Anyway, here's a thing:

Where's a thing? I can't see anything. Unless you mean that teeny tiny image.

Sorry, forgot to put a linking image.

That's the new Hitman game isn't it? I've heard it's very impressive from a technological stand point.

Yes, it's Hitman. I like it's visual very much, but I've yet to completed it. But I've got a test Friday, so...gotta study first.

I’ve put Mass Effect aside for now because after spending half my weekend dicking around with a friend’s copy of Saints Row 3, I decided I really wanted to go back and play through that series again. It also marks my first time playing the original Saints Row.

All I can say is that so far, I can see why I only heard of the series after the second game came out. The original seems largely forgettable, although I’ve only seen a sliver of the story so far.

I've heard it's very bad from a gameplay standpoint.
