How is it?  I bought that for my nephew last month since he got a 2DS for his birthday. Tbh, I don't think he really cares about gaming ANSI thought I would ask to borrow it.

It is alright it is a Beat em Up and you can purchase upgrades four each character.

It can get repetitive because in combat you are mostly pressing the Y button to attack and pressing X to grab enemies to throw them. You also use the A button to break shields.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

This was posted on Nintendo's Twitter account but it was taken down almost immediately after it was posted.

I didn't see it in the news today and if it's set for tomorrow they would have to advertise it by now.

Areal Kickstarter hits target Amidst accusations and alleged Vladimir Putin support

Developer Wet Games claims to have received a personal letter from Russian president Vladimir Putin.

“My daughter told me about your game called Areal, which is the spiritual successor to STALKER, and told me that she paid money to support your project on Kickstarter,” Putin apparently wrote.

“I also love video games as well as shooters, and I like this idea. It's important that our people do not shoot at each other, but instead, play games like this. If you give me the chance to play the alpha version of the game, when it is ready, then I invite you in advance to the Kremlin, to meet personally, be ready to play a little bit and talk about the interests of young people, the gamers of our country.”

I just hit the level cap for the Destiny beta...I was wondering why Dvader was at level 8 for so long...that's as far as it goes. So at this point, I'm gonna stop until the full game hits Sept. 9th. What a game its gonna be though. Best thing Bungie has done since Halo 1, mark my fuckin' words.

Oh, and The Last of Us 50gb install?

See, this is EXACTLY why I installed a 2tb HDD in my PS4 a month ago. 500gb is just not enough for a console that they expect you to fully install every game on, ESPECIALLY if you plan on using it as your multi-platform console. Xbox One I should be able to get away with 500gb, because all I'm getting on it is exclusives. Its also why the Wii U's 32gb memory is good enough. But yeah, 500 in the PS4 is not even close to good enough. Let's say most new games that come out are about 50gb....and the console leaves you with what? 415gb to use after system use? So that's about 8 games you can have installed at any one time. 8 FUCKING GAMES!!!

Even a giant 2tb drive like mine will be full eventually, but hopefully like 2 or 3 years from now. Not in December.

I've never heard of Putin's Peace Movement through games.  Maybe Obama can convince Putin to tear down that digital wall.

Two really cool things about Divinity: Original Sin you might not know:

(1) It has an incredibly well designed elemental effect system built into it. Fire melts ice into Water, Water turns into Steam to lower enemy accuracy. Ice will cool down your parties if they are burning. Rain will wash away Poison. Oil can be spilled on the Battlefield, then set alight. Water can be electrified to Stun enemies, clouds of Steam can be charged to do the same. Wet enemies can be frozen. Rain can be called down to weaken Fire Demons... it goes on and on and on. The way everything interacts makes the battes utterly ingenious and all unique. There are plenty of Magic user characters you can make to take advantage of these, but there's also Thieves, Archers, Knights, Witches, etc, etc, etc. One of the best designed battle systems E-V-E-R ! ! !

(2) The game is ONLINE, CO-OP enabled! How you and the other player agree, disagree, answer questions or argue affects the story or the outcomes of the varying quests. You also gain stat bonuses on how Loyal or Bold, Charismatic or Pragmatic, Romantic or Initimidating your conversation choices turn out to be. This is one of the most fluid and diverse RPGs I've EVER played!!

Is this PC only? And you wonder why not more of us are playing it? Nyaa

Sounds cool.

I feel like I just came out of some week long binge of FFXIV, man MMOs are addicting. But why? The gameplay is mostly terrible. Still there is so much to do its the weirdest thing, I will write a blog on it later.  I am level 47 and finally reaching the end of the story. I have not done side missions in like 25 hours cause my level was way too high for the main story missions, basically I am going to reach level 50 before the story is done meaning EXP from those missions are useless.

What is keeping me going is all the new game systems introduced at high levels. First it was the grand companies many many hours ago. Then came the treasure maps. Sightseeing missions, Now I got beast tribes to mess around with. SoonI will be doing the hunts as well. Plus all the level 50 content which honestly sounds like the real game from what I hear.

I just did my first treasure map and found a rare treasure map within the spoils which I put up for sale for a million gold, hopefully I am rich when I get back home.

Leo where are you at in the story?

Pretty good deal. Closest Target is 2 hours away, but am going there this weekend so will check out.

I just spent $400 on a tractor tyre (that's tire for you americans). I cannot fully explain how un-fulfilling that is.
