There's always Internet Explorer.
No ther isn't. Even as a MS apologist the latest IE is better, but still not there.
Hippie.
I just beat The Last Of Us!
What a great game and experience. I am definitely glad I played RE Revelations before this, as this game smokes it so badly that I would not really have enjoyed it had I played it AFTER Last Of Us. In many ways, this game is what Capcom should have been doing with RE since RE 4; its a horror game that also has solid combat...instead of an action game trying to disguise itself as a horror game.
The end was crazy...shit, some crazy stuff happens all throughout this game. I give it a 9.4 on the awesome scale. Bring on the PS4 sequel!
^ glad you enjoyed it. As for RE stealth doesn't work for it. RE has always been about guns with limited ammo against monsters.
Just started reading masters of doom. It is sooooo good.
Not lately though.
Everything about the past few Resident Evil's feels cheap and average next to The Last Of Us. There's other games that are also doing it better lately, like Zombi U. I just hope they are learning to take notes from these games instead of Gears of War and Call of Duty.
Just imagine all of NSMBWii (RED), NSMBU (BLUE), NSLU (GREEN) and NSMB2 (YELLOW) next to each other on your shelf. Mmmmmm can't wait to get that green case!! ... errrm I mean can't wait to get Super Luigi.

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
What the hell is going on in this game? This is like the fifth roasting corpse I've found:
I need to get around to reading it.
SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:
And it only gerts better.
Another game book recoemmendation (not to you, but maybe Robio or Hamster) is a reference book I am reading right now about adventure games. hardcoregaming101.net
It's a nice walk down Memory Lane, with plenty of new things to learn as well. I was surprised by how much of the King's Quest series I remembered.
Aspro, how far are you into TLoU? I'm very close to the end, but I'm playing in small chunks. It's killing me to play this way. I'm making a vow to play through it all tonight. Winter is here!
I am only 4 hours in, I've not been able to play at all this week, and when I started yesterday both of my ps3 batteries died (in controller). Really hoping to beat it today though.
A book you desperately need to read. I'm still amazed you hadn't heard of Broken Sword. It seems bizarrely light on content not developed in English speaking countries, though. Which is fine for old games; not so for modern ones.
It's got 5/10 reviews across the board, it's not a Warioware game, hence the name change, it's not microgames but some longer Minigames. It was originally supossed to come free and pre-installed on Wii U.
There are some bare patches in the game as standard, I did not create them. But I am planting flowers there to see how and if if grows over. So far I am about 6 days into the game and I haven't had to water any flowers yet, I don't even have a watering can and I haven't put the beautiful town ordinance into play yet. They seem to have relaxed certaing restrictions. I still haven't got to the island yet but Tortimer showed up and asked me to visit. I finally got my development permit and I have set a campsite up to build.
Great sig
Perhaps why Smash Bros graphics failed to impress:
Went to the island in Animal Crossing, really good, lots of fruit, fish and insects. But the mingames give you medals to buy special items in the shop. Some of the items are like 40 coins and you only get 6 - 8 coins per game won. Seems a bit arduous.
Oh and I got some turnips this morning and tried to lay them on my carpet by dragging them to my character, at which poin the ATE 10'000 worth of turnips. WTF, just click and press "put down" guys.

GC in HD looks like this, maybe you remembered is as being better but here it is:
Wii U:
They should port Bayonetta 1 to Wii U as well. It would run butter smooth too.
