Yeah...and I also tried my account name...neither does anything.
I would also like to change my account name on steam but it doesn't seem like they let you.
What are you going to change it to? Embracerof Cock?
That would be much more appropriate.
Here's me playing Deus Ex 3!
I finally figured out how to take screenshots via Steam....the whole problem was that you have to ENABLE the Steam in-game community to take pics, get achievements, etc....I did not know this. I thought enabling that would just notify you when friends sign in and out, like on Xbox. Fucking pumped that I can do this now.
That's Deus Ex 3 running on a Saffire 6950 2gig Radeon card, with Directx 11 and maxed out settings.
It looks exactly the same on Xbox.
I'm sure it looks pretty close. The pics actually don't do justice to the game though....there's alot going on still images don't show.
Whatever it is I hope they top Xenoblade and The Last Story otherwise there's really no excuse for Square considering the budget difference they're bound to have and the expertise Square is capable of when they really try to push a system (even the first DS)... At least it shouldn't look worse than The Crystal Bearers, but hopefully it's a good game past that. Also, I'm not sure it's gonna be DQX shown yet, maybe it will be some new spin off? If they show DQX extensively it will lessen the impact of having the (before hearing of this event) very first footage bundled with Dragon Quest Collection which releases in a week or so there (and we'll see thanks to YouTube anyway) so I fear they're doing the event for something else, but I guess that's not very likely as less than mainline titles wouldn't get an event of their own or get very special attention, but still...
The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds
while the pessimist fears this is true.

*This Game Completion Post is Dedicated to Aspro.*
"I Love You Brother, and I'm Sure Gonna Miss Ya."
...and the Credits Roll on inFAMOUS 2.
How was Infamous 2 Leo? I couldn't even bring myself to play the first one. I fucking hated Zeke within 2 seconds of knowing him.
I never playe it, but several people said that his character changed for the better.
It was good. Not as great or impactful as the first, but I have no regrets playing it. There were a lot more flaws than I expected in a Sony Published title in 2011. Their standards have seemingly gone up lately, but it had a few things wrong with it anyway.
____________
(1) It really didn't do anything dramatically new.
(2) The morality system is as lame as ever.
(3) The camera got in the way this time.
(4) Sucker Punch's "We'll predict where you want to go for you and have Cole stick to everything in the environment" gameplay structure got in the way MAJORLY this time. As the game went on, the areas Cole went thru got busier and busier and I found myself doing things I DID NOT want to do again and again and again. I would try to jump off of something and I would jump to another ledge, lamppost, pipe, etc. I would try to evade attacks, would jump out of the way of danger, but the game would decide to cling to something instead and I would die. and die. and die.
(5) You already started out "Super" and didn't evolve much. You got new powers, yes, but nothing stand out. Nothing that was as inspiring as the first time you got a power in the first game.
(6) No one gives a crap about User Created Content in this game.
____________
...even after saying all that, I still recommend it and part 1 anyway. As PS3 exclusives go, they are still two of the must plays, but I was left with the lingering feeling of missed potential.
Edit: Zeke was tolerable. I never like the buffoon type of characters in games, tv shows, movies, etc... but the bromance between Cole and Zeke was genuinely touching at times.
(7) I read this somewhere in one of the reviews, but didn't get it until today. Cole doesn't seem very "Super" at times because of his limited mobility. Sure he can grind on wires and train tracks, yes he can climb, but travel is cumbersome for MOST of the game. Super Heroes usually fly or have super speed or something extra-ordinary about them. You don't see a lot of them jogging down the street at a normal, human pace. More than 3/4 of the way thru the game they FINALLY give Cole something to improve the way he gets around... and it is cool... kinda... but, man oh man... once you DO get it, you think to yourself: "Why the FUCK did I have to slog thru most of the game in such a slow, plodding way, when something like THIS was eventually available?!" I'm not gonna spoil it, but, again, it felt like a missed opportunity.
Travo. I am done with The Hunger Games series and am looking for something else. Got any suggestions? Nothing too heavy. Fiction maybe. I am kinda mentally burnt out at the moment and want something enjoyable, exciting, but not too heady... Anything?
I had to go to the expert, Mrs. Travo, the librarian. For books like The Hunger Games, she recommended the Matched series by Allie Condie. Similar premise where a society of people is oppressed by the government, even deciding who they are in love with, where they work, when they die. It's supposed to be a trilogy with the second book coming out in the fall. There's also Scott Westerfierld's Uglies series, another group of books set in a dystopian world.
There is another series by Pittacus Lore called I am Number Four. You've probably heard of the movie which came out earlier this year. It's more action oriented book with aliens who appear human and bearing certain gifts/abilities to help them. The aliens are being hunted by another alien species with continuous action throughout.
She's given me more books, if needed, much more.
BTW, what did you think of the ending to the Hunger Games?
Yeah, maybe cause it's just that other screenshots I've seen are official ones, but they don't look all that flash for some reason.
PIS OFF!
Tis a great ending, no? Just finished it up last week. Dug it so much more than the first.
That's also mostly because you can use the UGC to help you get through the environment so much quicker than before.
First off... Your wife is a hot librarian?! DAMN!
I dunno WHAT I am looking for. I liked the Hunger Games but I look mainly for those books that are stand-out, that are good, fast reads and are very descriptive in their narration. Ever read The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson? It looks like a love story, and it is for the most part, but EVERYONE I recommended this book to LOVED it! I also really enjoyed The Shadow of the Wind recently.
I don't want to let too much time lapse before starting my next book, but I really don't know what I am in the mood for.
The ending to The Hunger games. If there was one thing that series prided itself on, it was unpredictable turns. I'm still mulling it over; I'll have to get back to you on that one.
I liked the ending, but from what I understand, a lot of readers did not. I do wish Katniss had taken a more active role in taking down the Capitol, but as far as who she ended up with... I couldn't see it any other way. I do feel sad for Peeta, since I have a low tolerance for torure scenes or any hint of torture.
And yes, my wife is a high school librarian, er...I mean media specialist. This is her second year at the high school. Before that, she worked for seven years in the public library system. She truly has a job that she loves.
