    Yeah, those are some of the best. I love the politics of Dredd's city. The two best Mayors the city ever had were an orang-utan called Dave and the mass murderer PJ Maybee.

    Nah I think I'm done with blizzard, I have no inclination to play WoW again, and diablo 3 looks to have a lot of things I don't like and only one thing I do (the monks return). Too many fun games I've got preordered already no need to get one I'll only sort of enjoy.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I was at a bouncy castle 21st last week.

    pro-tip: however much alcohol you normally drink at a party, drink half of that. The amount of people who drank their fill, went for a bounce and then needed to lie down was hilarious.

    That looks like a paypal verification, or some other system where they make a couple of small deposits and withdrawals, and then ask you to report the value to verify you have access to the account.

    The frustrations are clear. And yet, E.Y.E. has that "it" factor, a product of its dingy ambience, its big levels, and its insistence on letting you do it your own way, come hell or high water. Its ambition extends beyond these qualities, however, and into its multiplayer support. Your progress is persistent, so the levels you achieve and the skills you earn are carried over into online matches. The game supports up to 32 players in a cooperative game, and you can play stand-alone missions this way, or the entire campaign. Large co-op missions are interesting, but they don't feel truly cooperative as much as a shared map in which everyone is doing their own thing. They do, however, fit nicely with the ambience. In certain levels, you hear distant gunfire and witness factions trading fire with each other, even when playing on your own. Seeing these conflicts take place involving real players adds to the excitement. The most fascinating and more challenging way to play is with a few others, however, planning out your strategies and using your powers creatively. Use cloaking to flank monsters. Protect your hacker from alien attack. Spread out and search for all those hidden teleportation devices. Have a sniper leap to high ground and take down soldiers from afar, while a stealthy assassin jams a syringe into their unsuspecting backsides. Missions that aggravate you when you're on your own, such as the final showdown, are hugely entertaining when you have buddies at your side playing with completely different toys.

    I almost feel like I should buy this game.

    *waves hand*

    You will buy E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy.

    You will play co op with me and some of the other PAers.

    You will enjoy it.




    I inadvertently joined the final mission last night and to get to the check point you have to make this insanely difficult jump. Of course, I never made it and thought that maybe I was just a nub and couldn't do it. But apparently, that's one of those weird ass issues that those crazy French bastards didn't catch.

    Also there's a "short cut' at the beginning of the game that takes about 10 minutes to get through versus just going in guns blazing.

    *whimper* I really really shouldn't.

    So has nobody actually finished the game yet?

    Oh yeah. However, there's a "true ending" that no one has figured out how to get yet and everyone hopes that it helps bring the story together.

    At the moment its just this huge obtuse ... thing and you don't know if it's all a dream, the matrix, the internet, or what. Shit happens. You're involved in a civil war with your group who are also at war with the government who are also at war with an invasion of metasomethingsomething animals.

    You can also get your ass to mars.

    You know I think the thing that kills my interest for d3 outside of the RMA is that they are even bothering to do pvp, I can't imagine how that'll be fun in a loot piniata game, but I admit I'm hella carebear, I even do the stare.

    I think the thing that kills it for me is that diablo isn't fun.

    Have at ye!

    I'll admit it does play into it. Like I enjoy Borderlands outside of just looking for more loot, because its fun to run around shooting dudes with guns that explode, or tossing out my murder bird and watching him fly around and eat enemies.

    Click click click, snooze. At least dungeon siege 3 had dodging and stuff so you didn't just feel like you were mashing you attack buttons.

    I think I've only made it through the first and second acts (maybe not even the second) because I got sick as fuck of all the shitting clicking.

    People kept on going all "OMG BUT THE LOOT YOU HAVE TO GET THE LOOT" which just sounds like WoW levels of addiction to me.

    Hmm...if the company I'm temping at secures a contract that we're likely to secure, I might just have a permanent position in the works! Won't know until the end of the month, though...but man making an actual salary with (gasp!) benefits would be an insanely good change for me.

    Is it a good idea to track down all Judge Dredd and start reading from the beginning?

    You don't have to track them down, because they're about halfway through reprinting his complete adventures in nicely bound collected editions. Some of his stuff is ok, and there are periods when it isn't very good (the Mark Millar years were bad), but there are numerous incredible stories, lots of them within the first few years. The Cursed Earth Saga, the Judge Child, Block War, the Apocalypse War, City of the Damned, etc. Satire, violence, social commentary and great gags. I love Dredd.

    So snagging something like this would be a good way to start?

    I'm very tempted.

    I have an idea for a show I really want to pitch at some point:

    Get a pair of newlyweds, and give them a piece of furniture to assemble together. Then, film it.

    Season 2, they would get an instruction manual with deliberate errors.

    Season 3, there wouldn't be enough of some pieces, and too many of others.

    I think I'm just going to call it "Divorce!"

    I have put together furniture with my girlfriend twice and it's never escalated to a proper argument, just the occasional set of terse words followed by laughter. I think neither of us are very good at fighting.

    Is there a NH poll with Perry even in it? Because the last one I could find was from mid-July, and had Romney thirty points ahead of Bachmann.
