Last of Us looks good but I'm so sick of zombies that I will probably never play another zombie game ever again
they've burned out the concept just as bad - if not worse - than WWII shooters
they didn't feel like zombie zombies. I think they did a great job of making it feel fresh.
minor spoilers:
they're fungal zombies caused by people being infected with
this stuff, the cordyceps fungi. some are blind and can only spot you with hearing, and some are in varying levels of infestation and some have just burst open to release spores
and there's tons and tons of human enemies to fight. I sometimes found myself wishing I were fighting more zombies. They aren't in large hordes, they're often in small groups you either sneak past or pick one by one, splinter cell style.
one thing that wasn't clear in ads is that it's not quite an apocolypse, but shit still sucks for the human race
yeah I recall reading that, but it's just too much. The market is absolutely oversaturated and I want to be as far away from the idea as I can be indefinitely.

"In the German alphabet, ß (Unicode U+00DF) is a consonant letter that evolved as a ligature of "long s and z" (ſz) and "long s over round s" (ſs). Like double "s", when speaking it is pronounced (s) (see IPA). In standard spelling, it is only used after long vowels and diphthongs, while ss is written after short vowels. Even though long s (ſ) has otherwise disappeared from German orthography, ß is still used as a ligature and is replaced by 'SS' or 'SZ' in capitalized spelling. Its German name is Eszett (IPA: [ʔɛsˈt͡sɛt], the lexicalized expression for "sz", from "es-zed") or scharfes S (IPA: [ˈʃaʁfəs ˈʔɛs, ˈʃaːfəs ˈʔɛs], "sharp S").
While the letter "ß" has been used in other languages, it is today used only in German. However, it is not used in all German-speaking countries, in particular not in Switzerland nor Liechtenstein.[1] German speakers in Belgium,[2] Denmark,[3] Luxembourg[4] and South Tyrol, Italy[5] follow the standard rules for ß used in Germany and Austria."

Wiki:
The section sign (§, Unicode U+00A7, HTML entity §) is a typographical character used mainly to refer to a particular section of a document, such as a legal code.[1] It is also called "double S", "sectional symbol", "the legal doughnut", signum sectiōnis.
It is frequently used along with the pilcrow (¶), or paragraph sign. When duplicated, as §§, it is read as the plural "sections" (§§ 13–21), much as "pp." (pages) is the plural of "p." (short for the Latin pagina). The likely origin of the section sign is the digraph formed by the combination of two S'es (from the Latin signum sectionis).
Like the dagger (†) and double dagger (‡), it is also sometimes used to link to a footnote where the asterisk (*) is already in use on a given page; however, these usages are declining in favor of numbered footnotes, usually linked by a superscripted and/or square bracketed number.

I read an article about the PS3 bricking issue and apparently the main feature of the update was the ability to turn off trophy notifications. I will be making use of this new feature!
I'm not sure why achievements grate on me so much but I think a large part of it is that the look and sound of the notifications aren't specific to their games, which makes them feel like they aren't really part of the games, which makes them feel like intrusions.
I played a little bit of Uncharted one time, and it does a weird thing where every trophy notification is displayed twice in a row. The first time, the notification is themed to the game - it looks like it's been printed on a scroll or something like that, and the little musical cue fits in with the game's soundtrack. And then, right after that, the same words come on the screen again, except this time in the standard PS3 trophy format, with the standard chime. And the game-themed notifications felt way less intrusive.
Something something technology outstripping necessity for individual martial arts skills.
Oh certainly, martial arts aren't needed anymore with guns and stuff. I just wonder why people in the west seem to be rather interested in asian martial arts, especially say, Japanese stuff, the katana, etc.
But hold no interest in western martial arts, say, rapier and dagger fencing, longswords, etc.

I'm glad you can turn em off. I don't mind them in principle but they pull me out of the game for sure.
Little shop near my house run by super friendly Vietnamese couple doesn't have any of the old flavour of the energy drink I like anymore. Gonna have to find something else to buy there whenever I go past.

i agree that it's a lot darker and also that it has too much hollywood bullshit in it. still, i'd like to see the rest of it
Just use the initial of the first one?
I'm not sure how many I have. I have a confirmation name but I think legally I still only have one middle name. I dunno.
We love you so you have at least a little bit of a buffer before we go crazy.
I am a little surprised at how many mainstream media outlets have been picking up on stuff from this years E3.
I guess everyone can smell the blood in the water.
Ha, I wish.

I only have one legally at the moment but that is obviously in a state of... deprecation.
New console hardware is huge business, cant blame them
I want you to know that I got this, and I appreciate it, and you're a good person.
The first half is weak and mostly setup
The second half is the old arrdev magic and it all pays off.

I have two middle names, and usually just pick one or the other. Seems to work well enough for me.
Do a cool looking double lightning bolt symbol. People will think you're awesome when they see that.

Fortunately they are the same initials, but I'll just put one in the first name field and be fine.
I mean I could also use a different name or leave one out but damn it I am earning this name I'm gonna use it.
a plot line takes place in hollywood but you get more of other characters as it goes on, and less of Michael's story which is about the movie.
Yeah, you're so close, you should really finish it out -- it starts REALLY picking up just a few more episodes in.

It does get much better but it also doesn't reach the point it was building toward. I was post surprised when there were no more episodes left
it was arrested development
Probably something something Orientalism.
Interesting! For some reason I had a really hard time googling that character, google just didn't want to recognize it.
