Andrew POE!

I have a few to pimp: Eternal Sonata - JRPG about the dream world created by Frederic Chopin as he lies on his deathbed. Some of the cutscenes are VERY long (like half an hour or more long), but the battle system, the overall story, and the soundtrack make this great. Better than some Tales games. The Darkness - Has Mike Patton. Honestly, what else do you need? A very competent FPS with lots of interesting sections although the gameplay isn't that sharp at times. Prey - Although the backgrounds in game sorta blur, this is a great FPS from the early days of the 360. Dark Sector - It looks like Resident Evil 4, it feels like Resident Evil 4, but it's not. Charlie Murder - Scott Pilgrim style beat 'em up.

I understood the point of spec ops the line and understood that its premise and gameplay was turning now shooter tropes on its head. But the gameplay in Spec Ops The Line is very average and almost bland. I did earn a Platinum in the game, so maybe that effected my overall experience with the game.

IGN is doing a Game of the Generation list and it's pretty much a 'clickbait' list. Among the more bewildering things: Halo 3 at 82 and Halo 4 at 28. Tomb Raider (2013) & BioShock Infinite cracking the top 40 (along Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved being ahead of both warms my heart). Dark Souls not even in the top 20. NO VALKYRIA CHRONICLES? NO FIRE EMBLEM AWAKENING? LIMBO being in the top 40 even though it's an overrated piece of shit 'game.' Out of This World it ain't. I loved Spec Ops: The Line but it has no business being on the list.

Finally got "Fly The Co Op" trophy for Grand Theft Auto IV. Holy fuck is "Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic" ridiculous. At least over 100 things to complete to unlock a bronze trophy (or 10G if I were doing this on Xbox 360). And then $5,000,000 for Wanted trophy. Someone at Rockstar must have hated doing multiplayer.

Yeah, maybe I'll be able to watch ESPN on Xbox Live now, instead of waiting for free weekends. Saturdays in fall for college football with it is great.

The boxart implies some sort of co-op gameplay. Maybe this will be what Halo 2 should have been campaign-wise.

Trying to get the online trophies for GTAIV before Rockstar shuts down leaderboards and I got one thing to say: Fuck Deal Breaker. The vehicles suck, the enemies suck and won't just fuckin' appear in the exact spot I need them, the drugs glitch out, the helicopter sucks, and my fuckin' character loves to die and fall down like a fuckin' idiot. Why the fuck Rockstar couldn't fix the time requirements for Deal Breaker, I don't know. Make it 8 fuckin' minutes instead of 7:03 for the "Fly the Co-Op" trophy/achievement. OK, rant over.

I think Roman could do a mean rolling elbow and might be able to get it over in the WWE (since everyone steals Japanese moves, why not the best one?). He could even do Kerry Von Erich's discus punch -- since the Superman punch is getting over big.

At this point, Call of Duty needs a Zucker/Abrahams style parody of first person shooters installment. Just have Captain Price fight Martians and be able to breath without oxygen in space because.....he's fucking Captain Price. And Ghost dies everywhere in every time period because that's what he does. And your character (voiced by either Nolan North or Troy Baker) has a nickname of "Mouthwash" because he's "Soap" McTavish's brother's college suitemate. So they are practically related. Besides Battlefield: Bad Company 3, that would be my dream FPS.

Black Ops II is probably the worst game I've ever seen. Apparently, no one remembered the Strike Force missions.

Activision never seems to really have any discounts during sales on their games. It's still more than $10, which is ridiculous. Stupid Kotick.

Tabe, just to warn you about Resistance 2, but the multiplayer servers for it are dead. If you want to Platinum it, unfortunately you won't be able to.

There's also a $5 weekend deal with a lot of games including GTAIV and RDR. Midnight Club: LA will be losing its online at the end of this month, so I'm hoping/thinking that the sale will at least spur Rockstar to transition the game to their servers (depending on how the sales look).

I'm done with this show. It's slightly amusing just to hear Tony Atlas talk and the off-the-wall stuff he says, but they really need to get younger guys (and girls) on.

Unless you care about getting a Platinum, Tomb Raider's multiplayer isn't worth it. Trust me, I know. I have the Platinum for the PS3 version.

Yeah, I'm not feeling Dark Souls II at all. It feels like DLC/lesser bosses and the whole world design is PS1/N64 level. Not good.

Followed by a blindfold Super Punch-Out! run where the game was beaten. Not to mention the epic four-player Super Metroid run.

It's a RPG. Of course, it'll be worth it.

Well, it's official: Borderlands on PS3 will lose multiplayer support on May 31st. If you haven't gotten your Platinum for this or for Civilization Revolution, you may want to soon.

I ended up getting quite a bit during the sale. I already had Tokyo Jungle (yet I haven't played it).

If Patterson isn't doing OK, then how is he able to afford to go on cruises? That stuff ain't cheap, unless he's in a relationship with someone rich.

I just saw the first episode and the show feels like a carbon copy of The Surreal Life but with wrestlers. I did enjoy watching Gary Busey being called out by Piper and Patterson though. I can't really see the show being carried much after that. Gene seems to be the most depressed (or at least hiding the most) compared to Piper. I honestly thought that Piper was going to attempt suicide at the end.

You are seriously the only person outside of my circle of friends that I have ever heard mention Big Wreck in any context. I love those guys! Yeah, they are seriously an underrated band IMO. I got into them from MTV's "You Pick It, We Play It" and the douchebags voting on videos passed on it. There was one lone person who was their 'token rock/metal fan' who wanted them. I knew then they were awesome, bought their album the next day and didn't regret it.

Just a heads up, it's possible that next month when Gamespy's servers shut down, you will lose access to multiplayer for Borderlands. If you haven't gotten the Platinum or 1000/1000 Gamerscore for it yet, you would need to do so soon!
