    I did not give it too many attempts, but I am struggling with the section where you have to go on foot during the Liara mission. Your teammates think death is the best option, and I don't have sniper proficiency with Shep to take out the rocket or the sniper.

     

    Are you talking about where you go down into the mine before finding Liara? Or while you are in the process of trying to free Liara?

     

    If it is why you are still on the catwalks - and the geth our on the floor of the mine - you can use the catwalks for cover so you can hit them but they cant hit you. You use your powers and hopefully you have a squadmate proficient in sniping (ie: Garrus) but they can pick the people up that you are spamming your powers on.

     

    Or are you talking even earlier when you get out of the Mako?

     

    If that is the case - just use the boulders, get your squadmates to wait behind them and slowly but surely take the Geth down. Again - you can find spots where you can hit them but the rockets will hit the rocks so you can line up your shots better. Unfortunately, since it is earlier in the game its doubtful you were able to put enough into Sniper Rifles to make it so it doesn't seem like you are trying to boat a marlin. That being said - Assault Rifles and Pistols have insanely long range so you can just fire blind and still do enough damage.

     

    Again - if you have Garrus that is a bonus because of his sniping and powers (overload, sabotage) are great against the Geth.

     

     

    It's the third one, and I am running my squad with Tali/Ashley, which might be a mistake. I do know my next few levels will be focused on getting someone up to Unity and getting Shep's weapons capabilities increased. I have not played around with the abilities too much. I'm sure I'll figure it out tonight if I load it up. I'm also at a really low level (Level 9 I think).

  2. Fansided/Reddit researched one of the brokers Ebay accounts and found some other interesting names tied to merchandise being sold by one of the brokers: Jedeveon Clowney, Amari Cooper, and TJ Yeldon.

     

    This continues the trend of "where there is a scandal in Southeastern Football, an Alabama presence can be found in some form or fashion."

  3. I played a little bit through the Liara Dig Site mission after having not picked this up in a few months.

     

    The Mako has to be one of the worst handling vehicles I've driven in awhile.

     

    Also, why do squad members have to be such idiots that are willing to leap into death?

  5. I fear that the WWE knows that everyone sees the telegraphed Bryan winning, and then Orton cashing in booking as an inevitability. Instead, they will bring about shenanigans that I think would be unique to the MITB Cash-in (so it's at least original). Bryan and Cena get into a double knockdown spot leading to a ten count. Cena is the first to get up which spawns Orton to pop up from under the ring and deck Cena with the briefcase leading to a DQ win for Cena. With Cena laid out, Orton punts Bryan as he's getting up to incapacitate him. An RKO to Cena = Orton as new champ.  You set yourself up for a good mix of matches in the coming weeks/months, but you kill all good will booking in the process with a fan base that has really gotten behind Bryan's underdog angle.

    This is a reminder that I need to pick back up playing the first game.

     

    J.T. and Rippa, I am sorry to randomly hop in on your party session the other night. I think my headset wasn't working. I was starting Borderlands 2 and was seeking guidance.

     

    Why are you apologizing, man?  We have a standard open invite for DVDVR dudes to jump into our party, even if it is just to say, "Whaddap?"

     

     

    I knew that. I just knew it was kind of awkward because I kind of went "what's up, guys" a couple times before I realized that "I don't think my headset works."

    Fuck this bullshit mission with the RC Helicopter. FUCK FUCK FUCK!

     

    EDIT: BOOM! DONE! SUCK A DICK TINY HELICOPTER. 3 FUCKING TRIES. Fuck.

     

    Zero claims another victim.

     

     

    I think my save game for this on my Xbox is still stuck at this mission. I think that's part of the reason why I never played it again. I am on this mission and the mission where you have to drive for fucking ever to take pictures of I forget the guys that betray you. I guess I'm probably best off just replaying this game from the beginning eventually.

  8. I got in some quality time with GTA IV this weekend. I guess I finally finished Act I:

     

    I killed Faustin, got betrayed by Dmitri, and then got forced to relocate to Bohan.

     

    I forgot how much I really despised chase/follow and stalk missions. I also am not sure that I have had an insanely fun mission yet in this game. Granted, I vaguely remember the parts I played two year sago.

  9.  

    Will be back in with my picks, but IMO Jimmy Eat World seems to have tried writing Bleed American over since 2001, and Damage is their worst effort yet.

     

    ETA: I do love 2005's Stay On My Side Tonight EP, which was a little different.

     

    Very much disagree with this (though Stay On My Side Tonight is very overlooked).  Futures could be considered that, but was also a lot harder over-all than Bleed American. I thought Chase This Light was a direct continuation of that as well and probably the least of the three albums following Bleed American to try and sound like Bleed American. Invented, I think you could make a case for trying to copy Bleed American, but in my opinion again, a lot harder and more diverse.

     

    Bleed American, to me, is a great power pop album with two or three hard alt-rock songs (Sweetness, Bleed American, and perchance Get It Faster). Futures, Chase This Light, and Invented are all very much alt-rock/90s emo/whatever albums that may have one or two power pop songs on them (Work, Coffee & Cigarettes, etc). There is no song that has come close to The Middle in terms of writing and I don't think they have tried writing another one. I do think they have tried writing a new "Hear You Me" like four times though.

     

     

    I probably like Futures more than Bleed American. "23" is just a really good attempt at an epic from the band. I also adore "Stay on my Side Tonight." "Disintegration" might be my favorite Jimmy Eat World song.

     

    I have not been huge fans of their last few albums and have genuinely ignored "Damage." The only song that I really cared for off Invented was "Coffee and Cigarettes" and the acoustic bonus version was the stronger effort for that. I also really liked the cover of "You and I" that came as a bonus track.

  10. I don't feel like this is worth starting a thread over just yet. Is PWG worth following these days? I was thinking about grabbing some clearance DVDs from ROH's sale and saw they started carrying PWG shows, so I was thinking of either getting the final show of 2012 (Mystery Vortex) or the first show of 2013 (DDT4 2013). From a "buy their stuff" standpoint, they seem like a fairly inexpensive promotion to follow. roughly 12 shows a year for $15 a piece isn't awful.

  11. I doubt there's too many people that care for John Mayer around these parts, but I really love "Continuum" as an album. With that said, I do not know if there is a more awful, out of place song on a good record than "Waiting on the World to Change."  It just doesn't fit with the album for me. I normally start the album on "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)"

  12. I'll only accept EA making a deal with the SEC if Finebaum is included in the game somehow.

     

    THEM BIG TEN BOYS JUST CAN'T HANDLE THE ESSSSS EEEEEE SEEEEE, PAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWL!

    Please don't remind me that the dark days are about to be upon my sports radio airwaves in a couple weeks.I have enjoyed Paul's sabbatical from talk radio... because it means I haven't had my IQ lowered by five minutes of his show.
