    Your wife is awesome, your kid needs something to do.

    How old is he and what do you mean about wanting to play with the controller?

    I'm guessing his kid is an infant or a toddler. They like to hold and play with anything you're holding/playing with.
    Controllers, phones, keyboard, mouse, remotes... It's cute, but it can get annoying sometimes.

    yeah, he's a toddler.

    He sees me playing with the controller a lot so of course he wants to play with it too.

    I even went as far as to take an old PS1 controller and cutting the cord off of it and giving that to him to play with.

    you could always tell him no and smack him

    just like my Dad and the pliers


    I apparntly always wanted to touch his hand tools, so he just backhanded me everytime I reached for one.

    Call of Duty 4 is pretty great. I jumped straight to Hard, since I beat CoD2 on Veteran (eventually), and it's just about perfect.

    how is uncharted rated T

    sure, they don't say fuck, but they say shit pretty often

    I mean, I guess it's not that bad, but there's no restrictions on selling T games and i don't think it's something the younger crowd should play

    Uncharted spoiler;
    Am I the only one who was dissapointed to learn that they go from sort of realistic indianna jones simulator to 'lets do what far cry did and throw mutants in' ?

    I like the game, but the addition of the demon cannible creatures was stupid in my mind.

    you get into the "land of the dead", since i found ammo but i didn't think there would be dudes down there

    It takes you a few minutes to discover an unopened passage way that hasn't been opened in hundreds of years, but you take 4 steps in and BAM!

    They say he's an ordinary guy, but he fucking is not an ordinary guy. He can kill a man in about three seconds with his bare hands. He can climb cliffs without any kind of climbing gear. He can win gunfights while outnumbered by opponents with superior equipment. He also hunts fucking treasure. And through all of this, his face has stayed very pretty. And he's interesting enough to be the subject of an episode of one of those Discovery Channel shows. That's not Joe Blow.

    Yeah, the fact that she hasn't freaked out over the fact that people are firing guns at her and she's a journalist is weird to me too.

    Fuck, if I was a reporter and someone shot a gun at me, I would start crying and scream, 'GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!'

    it's pretty clear that she already has firearms experience

    maybe she was a war correspondent? they hint pretty strongly that she has shot people before

    Yes, this is even established in the early levels; Drake does some obscure puzzle and leaps around on high ledges and shit, and then Sully comes bounding down from the other end of the hallway, having found an alternate, and easier, route. Drake basically always ends up taking the hardest possible path around everything.

    1) "Chalk"

    2) Just because it's not a 100% realistic story does not mean that it's excused from plot holes or that lazy copouts are OK. I'm not saying that this is a lazily-written story full of bullshit copouts and plot holes, but I am saying that, in principle, "it's fiction" does not mean "anything goes." There are still rules.

    Ditch it and get Uncharted. Or Ratchet & Clank. I've also had a lot of fun with the PS3 online version of Tekken 5, which is only $30. Ninja Gaiden Sigma is pretty damn awesome too, though it has a few issues because its gameplay is a few years old. Not enough issues to take away from how fucking awesome it is, though. Resistance is a pretty decent FPS. Warhawk's supposed to be really good, and I think they did a content patch recently, so you should be able to find opponents (and it is less than $60 if you buy it on the PSN Store). Some people say that Skate is cool. Folklore looks like the story, at the very least, is neato. And some of the really late-period PS2 games like Odin Sphere and God Of War 2 are fuckawesome. Frankly, God Of War 1 and 2 actually look like early PS3 titles, they are just that goddamn amazing.

    Get Oblivion. You can probably find it for less than like $30 and it plays like a dream on the PS3. It will seriously suck up hours and hours. If you want more, you can download the Shivering Isle expansion on the PSN, not even have to leave you house.

    "Halo killer" seems like an inappropriate phrase. Halo's strength is that it's got like a zillion dollars of marketing and hype behind it, not that it's an awesome game. Anything can be a Halo killer, it just needs to be a game that isn't total ass and that has two zillion dollars of marketing and hype behind it.

    I only used that phrase because it was so heavily attached to the game, and I couldn't remember the name.

    I didn't even play it, but the screenshots of the new game looks pretty awesome.

    Although I don't understand how the alien planet they invade after fending off the attack has the same tin roof material we have.

    again, nit picking, but it's interesting.

    Kill zone, that's what I'm thinking of.
