Robio, I took down the 17.5 mil XBL story, that's a dupe of one posted 3 days ago.

And the LBP Delay, Darth Homer had that one lower on the same day.

Geek I Del'd your Blockbuster BK, that was a dupe also.

I thought my iiPod died on me today.

Those bootleg ipods aren't good. Always make sure it only has one i.

Finished the Gothic 4 demo. The combat felt OK after I learned a few spells and got some nice equipment (but why can't any Western developer do melee that is as fluid as Zelda, with stats and levels on top, it can't be that hard, instead we get erratic auto targeting and dodgy blocking and dodging), but the dungeons were extremely linear and simplistic, and the plot so far was laughable, with no choices, and presented even worse, ruining the mood. It probably gets better but if the dungeons are still lame and it has lots of parts that emphasise its shortocomings I'll pass. It's polished for an RPG from this region but still clunky. You can't drop off ledges unless you jump, you can't enter water bodies, I mentioned the combat flaws, the camera is weird and gets erratic during certain actions, and the visuals, while good in screens, are flawed. I think I would prefer first person play, it would hide some of the sloppy interactions. Screenshots from the final parts of the demo after I got some spiffy gear. I think Risen is better despite being clunkier and having a HORRIBLE end game, unless this improves greatly later.

Vade, Atlus just released a Sackboy for 3d dot Heroes.  Not sure how that helps you, but you know, hey.

Thought so.

Seriously though that little description you gave you could do for any game, for instance: Elebits is in a unique setting, no other game has the art and visuals it does. No other game does physics like it does, no other game has music like it does. No other game lets you open cuboards and drawers in the way it does. In what other game can you turn a water fosset and have little creatures come out to shoot?

You could do the do same for most other games, Red Steel 2 for instance. What other game is set in a west meets east cel shaded, city setting, with motionplus combat?

Doesn't mean it's mindblowing, it's still nothing more than a 9.0 game or less, and there are plenty of those these days. Rollercoaster combat?

*Bangs head against something*

No not the same. That footage was impressive as in "holy crap I can't believe this gen can still blow me away", all those other games you mentioned are just standard stuff (elebits thing is a very different subject). I guess you see amazing graphics, a FPS and say its standard stuff but its not, not the footage I saw. I saw the potential for a much more exciting, more open world. More interesting powers, Better enemies, it looks to improve on Bioshock in every way.  Seeing how Bioshock is one of the best FPSs ever, I don't see how this game is nothing more than a 9 or less. It will be a GOTY contending title.

*Bangs head against something *

I was just wondering why your reaction was so strong as in "mind blowing". I usually reserve that phrase for WTF things like Tokyo Jungle or truly mind blowing moments like for instance the very first 3D game you ever played.

As for what I saw in the Bioshock Infinite footage (which was heavily scripted BTW) I won't say. But it was neither a negative or positive reaction.

Are you looking outside of South Florida yet? Since I've worked in Medical marketing for so long I know I come across a lot of other medical related jobs and I've seen a lot of Ultrasound Tech jobs in Jacksonville for some reason.

Then the problem becomes how do I pay to live up there for the first few months. If nothing turns up down here soon my plan B is seeing if I can stay with a friend, I got a few around the country while I search around there.

And by "a few friends around the country" do you mean the many ladiez you bed with?

Yeah, a wisdom tooth. It was touch and go as to me getting it extracted. In the end after it came out they said that it was infected and there was a lot of debris behind it so it was good I had it taken out.

After it was done and I was sitting there in pain they said that they usually do it on general anastetic.

Well thank YOU for that.

Okay, a wisdom tooth makes sense. Those are a bitch to remove. I had all four of mine removed at once about 10 years ago. Thankfully, they knocked me out for it. Yeah, the pain afterwards was awful, and I ended up getting dry socket in one of them.   It's odd because I had a molar removed, and there was very little pain with it.

I hope you feel better soon, GG.

I had like 8 teeth removed under general when I was kid. Nothing like the pain now, in fact, it was sore but no pain. The wisdom tooth is sutured to your jaw bone and the freaking tool they use to get this thing out. It was brutal, it was like a Victorian torture chamber. You would think that my local and/or hospital dentist would have reccomended general anastetic, but noooooo.

Oh I have a whole A4 page of instructions. Only eat soft food, take their antibiotics three times a day for the next week. Do not spit or rinse for 24 hours. If bleeding persists, stick in the gauze swabs they gave me. Take painkillers to manage the pain. Swelling and bruising may persist for 2 weeks. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling. You will have blood stained saliva for several days. Do not smoke, drink alchohol or excercise for 48 hrs. Bathe your mouth in a salt/water solution 3 times a day after 24 hrs. Stiches will dissolve etc. Any problems call the emergency line.

sounds similar to when I had my accident and had all those internal stitches.  of course i didn't have to worry about food as I was on IV drip for five days, it must be horrible for you not being able to eat at all.  was it a wisdom tooth?  i know that can be very tricky and a girl I knew once compared it to labour pains.

be strong, hope the pain subsides

Yeah, a wisdom tooth. It was touch and go as to me getting it extracted. In the end after it came out they said that it was infected and there was a lot of debris behind it so it was good I had it taken out.

Well thank YOU for that.

I'm going to have to ask you to stop whining like a girl.

I've had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out. Both top teeth only a few months ago, and my bottom ones, one at a time like 5 or 6 years ago. Everything you described is par for the course getting them taken out. Suck it up.

Never! The left side of my face looks like I have a golf ball stuck in my cheek.

Pretty good reviews for Dead Rising 2, definitely good enough for me to pick up the game next week.

The save system is all I want to hear about. If it's fixed, then its a buy. If it's not, it's an FU.

That's incredibly awesome and useless at the same time.

San Francisco, Calif., September 23, 2010 - Leading video game publisher Mastiff announced today that they have shipped a version of the hit Wii™ title, Deer Drive for the Nintendo DS™ to game retailers across North America. Deer Drive is available for a suggested price of only $19.99.

A fast-paced hunting simulation featuring hours of pure shooting fun for one or two players, Deer Drive is based on the popular title for the Wii that has sold over 400,000 copies in North America.

"Hunting games have been extremely popular on a number of different game machines, but no one had figured out how to capture that excitement for the Nintendo DS....until now." said Bill Swartz, Head Woof and CEO at Mastiff. "We've come up with a system that literally puts the thrill of hunting into the palm of your hand."
