Look at the games, and go from there, Rodney. That's what I'm planning on doing. I keep my old consoles anyway, so bc isn't as huge for me as it might be for others. Although, I'll probably go with a Wii U, as I never got a Wii last gen.
Won't be on this weekend. Going to a sea music festival both days. Monday will probably be spent on the couch with a controller recovering from having been social for two days.
I laughed all the way through this, because you sound just like me when I'm trying to get to work and there are 50 million stupid tourists doing stupid shit and getting in my way. I think my most used sentence this summer has been "I fucking hate people!"
On a more serious note: yeah, that is a total asshat move and I'd be pissed, too. It's mostly why I don't play with other people online that I don't know.
I constantly surprise people with what I like in terms of music. My nieces and nephews like talking about music with me because they know I'll give whatever they're into an objective listen, and if it's not my thing, that's exactly what I'll tell them. They're used to adults telling them their music sucks, and to have one who is willing to at least listen to it (And frequently like it), gives them hope for us old geezers.
I was really disappointed with R&C: Quest for Booty. It was lacking all the little things that make R&C games so much fun for me.
As you probably noticed, I spent a chunk of time yesterday playing LEGO Star Wars: TCS. I'm still missing the blue canisters and several achievements, one of which is to play through an entire level online.
Bummer about your weekend, Chris.
I consider my backlog my treasure hoard. I will never run out of games to play. It's especially good when I just don't have the finances to buy new games, like right now. As for picking a game, it's usually pretty random. Right now, I'm confined to my 360, PS3, and my handhelds until the old heating system gets removed and I can set up my older systems and CRT TV in its place.
Thanks for sharing these, Blake. I liked all four of them, and really enjoyed the first and last enough to possibly go lookin for more of their music.
Being as my OCD causes me to play things in order of release, and I've yet to play any of the MGS games, probably not likely to blog about it any time soon. We need to get GH back to blogging. He's the biggest Metal Gear fan I know.
I prefer physical copies for the most part, but that's mostly due to space constraints and a download cap (curse you, Comcast!). That said, I do love Microsoft's Games With Gold program. I've gotten several games that I probably never would have tried otherwise and ended up loving.
I'm the opposite from you, I generally prefer story over gameplay. I love how there's plenty of choices for both camps, though.
