    It's cut into my end of the year school work, and I've missed a few classes to play.
    I'm going to have to not play tomorrow so I can catch up.

    Hey hey, I just got through 0, 1, and 3 of RE:UC co-op. We played it on hard and apparently it only counts your end times to your game clock so it read about 3:45. But we played for more like 5 and a half hours. It was pretty damn enjoyable.

    I enjoyed the outbreak stuff Redeemer, mostly because 3 is my least favorite of the games. All the subway stuff? I think we killed around 400 hunters on that end part, yeah it was probably 400.

    The critical hits are hard to pull off, and we averaged about 6 a scenario/chapter, but they are soooo satisfying. Especially multiple ones in a row. It also has a nice difficulty curve.

    Now I have to go through the solo bonus chapters to unlock the Russia scenario for tomorrow.

    edit: It wasn't a 5 and a half hour chunk of play. We broke it up with bouts of SMG, GG:AC, and Mario Strikers. I am drained. So it was a like, 9 hour chunk of playing...

    From playing Ratchet and Clank (maybe some others had it, I forget) I wasn't looking forward to the planetoids in Galaxy. It's a fun game but fucking hell they should have had someone play Ratchet and Clank so they'd realize, holy shit does planetoid gameplay suck. The camera feels like it's being controlled by a cross-eyed drunk. Just go ahead and swing wildly in the air so I have no fucking idea which direction to push now. I enjoy the worlds that are more like traditional platformer stages. Those shitty planetoids, where the camera will end up flipped upside-down and tilted towards the sky so that now when I press left I run back and to the right, can fuck right off though.

    So basically you want something like New Super Mario Bros instead of something that is actually new?

    I just found it odd that your post was the only instance I have ever seen that complaint is all.

    Most reviews say the camera could use some minor improvements but that it is pretty damn solid throughout otherwise.

    Yeah, I've seen shots of that game that look awesome, but that's not one of them. Also, taking a screenshot where the guy's hand is going through the sword handle in the foreground is bad form. Why does this picture look so shitty?

    That's basically the one thing I've heard about the game that I don't like. But then, I hate fanservice, and I really hate nerd masturbation. Two quick examples of blatant nerd masturbation, because that's what I do:

    1) Fantasic Four 2: Richards gives a whole "yeah I'm a nerd and I have a hot chick and you have to come to me for help, so give me some goddamn respect" speech when the army guy makes a nerd/jock reference. This is obviously pandering to the audience's feeling that they're smarter than the football team and it's unfair that girls won't talk to them, because they're inherently better. It also builds on the myth that once you get out of school, hot girls will suddenly stop finding the jocks attractive and will swoon over you. The only case where this is true is where the girl is the rare "hot nerd chick" or where the girl's gold-digging and you're making good money and are clueless, thus making you easy to string along.

    2) Transformers: The chick with the British accent who gets hired by the NSA and cracks all sorts of codes and shit...she's seated between two stereotypical comic-book-store nerds, one of whom looks just like Kevin Smith. Just the initial scene with that character basically said "OK nerds, you're in the movie, and you're helping Optimus Prime (indirectly), and in with the ranks of you unattractive nerds are hot, inexplicably foreign women, and they never recoil at your body odor."

    Yes, I saw both of these movies at someone else's request. I would not have seen them otherwise, and as it turns out, that would've been a good decision.

    Anyway, regarding fanservice/nerd masturbation: Please don't do that. It's really, really patronizing.

    HandleAdjustableRed.jpg

    Nah, look closely, the hand is clipping through the handle. The middle finger is clearly just poking through the metal grip. It's just a little flaw in the animation, they probably didn't animate the finger joints ("rock hands") and as a result the hand geometry goes through the handle. That's an OK flaw, it's a pet peeve of mine, but given that hands and faces have extremely high bone-count-to-screen-space ratios, it makes sense not to physique fingers in games that don't run on high-end systems. It's just a peeve of mine...but still, you shouldn't take a screenshot where the error is front-and-center like that.

    EDIT: Also, that nitpick aside, the post-process stuff they have going on there is just ugly as fuck. Maybe in motion it looks cool, I could see that, but it looks horrible as a still shot.

    Defender, the hot Australian girl in Transformers wasn't really "fanservice". She didn't actually hook up with any nerds, she just hung out with them. Plenty of nerds are friends with hot girls that they will never stand a hope in hell of asking out/dating, so it's not that unrealistic.

    Unless you're calling the presence of hot girls in the movie in general fanservice, which it is, but to men in general and not nerds specifically.

    No, no, I was referring to her as nerd masturbation, not fanservice. Let me go over that again...

    The NSA is hiring, "right out of high school," comic book nerds to do their kickass computer hacking. OK so right there we already have nerd masturbation, predicated on comic book nerds thinking that because they got As in pre-calculus "without even studying all that hard," they're fucking world-class geniuses. Then we take it further by putting a really hot chick right between two godawful nerds, which feeds into the "once you're out of high school, hot girls will magically start finding you irresistible" bullshit, so I'm going to say that this is furthering the nerd masturbation theme. Then the hot chick is revealed to be basically the best hacker in the world as she single-handedly cracks a completely alien code without even having support from her superiors. And then, of course, we see that her friends are all hopelessly unattractive guys, and there's no Human Torch underwear-model-on-a-motorcycle boyfriend to be found. All of this screams "YOU HAVE A CHANCE" to the never-kissed-a-girl high school nerd crowd.
