Should I get Mirror's Edge for the PC or my PS3? Or not at all?
I imagine it would translate poorly onto a keyboard. I only played the demo and while it was kind of fun, the controls (on the 360 anyhow) were not quite tight enough and frequently I'd be trying to do kind of elaborate jump only to have Mrs Runner sprint along a wall and then fall to her painful death.
So frustrating.

I've seen so much of Lucy Lawless' tits lately... I don't know how I'd watch Xena now.
Yeah. Watching anything with John Hannah is going to be odd after Spartacus...
It's a fascinating show. And yes I mean the sex (and the violence). I stand in awe how much of it they are able to squeeze in about an hour of programme.
I really liked Mirror's Edge, but like Mojo says: occasionally the controls are controller-breakingly frustrating.
EDIT: The plot is rudimentary nonsense (seemingly strapped on to the game after the actual gameplay was built), but the design and look of it all is glorious.

I'm now on Chapter 13 of FFXIII. The plot has really been left by the wayside, which was a shame as it looked like there was a story about to arrive somewhere around chapter 9.
So now I'm just doing missions in order to try and get at least one ultimate weapon.

I wonder if I should worry about this side pain stomach thing i'm having at the moment.
Where is it located? If it's in the area of your appendix (assuming you haven't already had it removed) that's something to watch out for obviously.
It's sort of upper side radiating to upper left area of abdomen. Started on Friday with this really bad stitch pain out of nowhere. Diahrrea the next day, but haven't had that since. All i'm left with now is this dull slight ache and a feeling of wind.

It gets even more retarded, plotwise.
Some spoiler-free tips if you plan on doing any post game stuff (the difficult missions, etc). Just before the final battle there's a succession of bad guys that give you ridiculous CP, and grinding through these guys again and again saves you a hell of a lot of time later. You can't upgrade the crystarium fully until after the end story battle, but you can upgrade secondary roles and the like and store 999,999CP for each character before taking on the big bad to immediately spend afterwards. I just blazed through the final chapter wanting to get it done and then cursed myself afterwards as I had to grind through Behemoth Kings to get the CP I needed back on Pulse.

Cunning. I shall take this into consideration.

If it's too spoilery do you mind naming off the bad guy you can grind into CP oblivion in a spoiler tag? Also where you can find him. I just got the pulse, realized it's going to be a grindfest and haven't played since. This was nearly a month ago. I hate that, too, because I was really enjoying the game up until that point.
Ryadic, the bad guys are the ones right before the final boss in the final chapter. Wlaudislaus is one of them, but I can't remember the other ones. You don't need to know them, really. When you start getting 30,000CP for killing a dude who's just hanging around the map you'll know you've reached these guys.
I'm playing FF9. It's lovely and makes me feel warm inside.
I'm not sure these modern FFs make you feel that way, y'know?
I played that again a while back, then my memory card battery failed and I lost my save. And I'd just got to the second disk too. BLARRRGGHHH.
Is that on a PSP? I don't have one of those.
No, the playstation. Has it been ported? That would remove my fear of losing my save.
Although the PSP has such pitiful battery life.
If you use custom Firmware on your PSP you can transfer your PSone discs into files that can boot on your PSP and be played. I don't know of the legality of it really since modding your PSP is taboo as far as I know. But I know that it works very well porting a lot of games. Though ripping (or whatever you call it) your PSone discs is a hassle according to my friend.

memory cards have batteries? I just thought they were like flash memory?
Don't know much about PSPs I'm afraid.
No, the memory cards were basically the same as game cartridges. Flash memory at that point couldn't store that much data. Granted, neither could PSone memory cards.
EDIT: The plot is rudimentary nonsense (seemingly strapped on to the game after the actual gameplay was built), but the design and look of it all is glorious.
That's exactly how it went. They had a bunch of set pieces and then hired Terry Pratchett's daughter and went "here's a bunch of loosely joined levels. Rearrange them and give us a story."

I am actually keeping count of every scene! :P

Getting mine a DS.
Mine has one.
...
Get her an SNES.

I doubt she'd be into that, and my old one is hanging around her house.

I know. It's a real pain.

Now for the other work I have to get done.
What if instead of that work you eviscerated me at SC2?
No, the memory cards were basically the same as game cartridges. Flash memory at that point couldn't store that much data. Granted, neither could PSone memory cards.
Play Assault! Drop ammo boxes!
I much prefer Assault over the other classes. I jus double-tap with the Abakan and people drop dead.
But I could probably stay up for a little Quid-slaughtering action.
