What are you going to change it to? Embracerof Cock?

That would be much more appropriate.

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.

Holy shit DQ10 in two days. I am actually excited. Wonder what it will look like. You guys think it will be cell shaded just like DQ8? Or will they dare do traditional models, which normally look bad on the wii. It better be cell shaded.

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...

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

...and the Credits Roll on inFAMOUS 2.

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.

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?

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.
