Rented GTA V. I managed to lead the police directly to the unmarked dealership and failed the first mission as Franklin. Talk about some bad luck.

Shepard is so bad ass, they don't even need a head to fight Saren.

It's tough enough as is, but the fact that you lose all your progress when you quit (hardcore stylez) is a BITCH.

I see my "free" digital copy of KOA: Reckoning from PS+ and all I think is:

A) When am I going to play it when there's GTA: Online to play?

B) I need more storage space if I'm going to make digital purchases my "thing" now.

I just bought Bionic Commando (and ReArmed) on Steam, because it was $5. I was in the minority and loved the game on 360, but I don't know why I bought it again. Now I can't get my friend to even take the 360 version for free. I would pay for shipping and everything, and he just doesn't want it.

Any takers here?

So now I see that I can get Poker Night 2 for free from PS+, The Wolf Among Us on the cheap, the LEGO Avengers demo and more...

This is a pretty damn good Tuesday. :dealwithit2:

I'm seriously thinking about canceling both of my preorders. I don't play what I have.

 

[Swarley]

I should buy everything just b/c that song was so fucking annoying.

I'm trying to beat ME 1 again so I can retire it and go to ME 2/ME 3 + DLC...

And yet all I want to do is play GTA: Online and that's killing the time I actually have to play during the week.

...now I'm starting to think if Trevor was born a few hundred years into the future, that ol' Reaper problem would probably fix itself.

Been diving deep into Dark Souls again. Man, the game is such a fucker. Last night in Blighttown one of these little toxic blowdart assholes (who are as black as a shadow standing in an already poorly lit cave area where you have to pay attention to where you're walking -- no, not because of the dogs that breath fire and the crazy purple dudes that remind me of the Reapers from Firefly -- no, you have to pay attention because it's this rickety collection of platforms where a wrong roll or step can mean insta-death) was shooting at me and I was sprinting in any direciton I could just to buy myself enough time to figure out where the damn things were coming from. Run into crazy fire breathing flying spider beast, shout in surprise (see also: kind of like a girl), terrify dog, cat and girlfriend. Catch a face full of fire, turn, club to the face from chasing Reaper monster, roll, use Estes, get clubbed, roll, fall, somehow survive, now facing another spider beast, roll out of the way into poison water, get poisoned, get caught on fire again by chasting spider beast, then finally stung to death by a flying red wasp that shoots an exploding cloud of blood from its stinger.

Back to the bonfire to try and somehow make my way back through that shitstorm again to try and recover. :smh:

Just fired up Portal 2 for the first time tonight. It's great to be able to play a game that makes you think, and at the same time you don't have to kill hundreds of people. Loving the puzzles so far. Such a great feeling when you feel so lost on a room, but after sitting there and thinking you finally find the answer. Quite addicting as well.

So, fun story: The store that I usually buy my PS1/PS2/Xbox games at was having a sale a couple weekends ago. That's usually when I go grab a few things b/c they have good deals like B2G1 or something along the lines. Well this time they were doing prize giveaways for people who spent $50 or more. So I bought a handful of things and got my name in. Didn't expect a thing b/c I never win anything like that. Well they had giveaways like games, comics, movies and consoles. Well I got a call on Monday saying that my name had been chosen. What did I win you ask? A won a Wii U console. I poop you not. Pretty much the coolest thing I've ever won.

So after that, I picked up New Super Mario Bros. U on the cheap (only game I have for it so far besides the packaged in Nintendo Land). Been playing that for the past few days as well. The game looks great. It's nice to see all of those SMB worlds in high def and nice popping colors. Some really cool levels I've come across so far too. I've finished the first two worlds (there's eight I think), and I'm halfway through a third one. So that's been pretty fun. Haven't played much Nintendo in a lot of years, but I'm definitely enjoying some Mario.

Got into the beta for Hearthstone. I am already addicted.

i recently began a new character. all magic. nothing else. seems a bit easier overall than doing melee but it does get a bit tricky when your facing fast enemies and you're sitting there trying to get a spell off.

I couldn't get past the limited number of magic uses early on in Dark Souls. But I imagine if you get over that hump it would get much easier. I found Demon's Souls to be borederline easy with the Royal and plenty of whatever that moss was that refilled your mana. I'm assuming that that's why they changed it up for Dark Souls.
