I am sorry to hear this Leo but I feel I need to be the realist here. You have gone far above your call of duty after the hurricane. There is absolutely no reason for you to be bringing yourself down after everything you have done simply cause you dont have the power to make everything be fixed again or make everyone care as much as you. You have done so much, you should be proud. It was a horrible event but the people will get by, its what humans do, their burden is not your burden. I am not saying not to help, you have and please continue to do so, its the helping and then feeling guilty that you cant do more that is too much. You are simply bringing yourself down for no real reason when you should be proud of the help you have done.
My two cents, I just hope you dont get too down Leo.
Okay, Aspro. I'm going to have to boot up Dead Souls today just to see what the fuck you're doing wrong. I know there's a way to spin around 180 degrees which is extremely helpful.
First person aiming probably sucks by default, though...I can't really remember first person aiming which means I must have barely used it.
Dishonored is really freaking cool.
Indeed! I'm nearly finished.
And Leo,I'm also looking forward to returning to the world of Pandora with you! I'm off for Christmas break next week! That will be the perfect time to game on!
Tom Brady almost pulled off probably the best comeback of his career, down 31 to 3 against the 49ers to tie it at 31 apiece....but then the Pats defense instantly blows the fucking game.
Brady must want to bring Ty Law and Rodney Harrison back in a time machine in the worst way.
Now the Broncos have the 2 seed and Brady will have to go to Denver to beat Manning. Man I cant wait for the playoffs, I want Manning to beat the golden boy.
Is Brady supposed to be the golden boy?
Well anytime the Pats lose its just about never Brady's fault. Its usually either bad defense or recievers not catching the ball. I don't think I've ever watched a game and said "Brady blew this game". I would personally like to see a Super Bowl rematch of the Pats and 49ers., with Gronk playing.
I'm sick of the Manning brothers. Though I would like to see Eli go down in the super bowl like he should have done the other 2 times if it wasn't for velcro head in 2007 and Welker dropping the fuckin' ball last year.
Playing Trine 2, Mighty Switch Force, Nintendoland and Zombi U.
Zombi U is great, got to the Tower of London. Game is really tense and interesting. But I got stuck, they wanted me to evac to the top of the tower. I killed all the enemies but both doors up to the top were locked. No lockpick, no code, no barricade, just.... locked. So I had nowhere to go and decided to trek back to the safehouse and resume the next day. So I was sprinting back, was at the docks, decided to drop into the water and swim 6 metres to the next ladder. As soon as I plopped into the water it was instant death! It was a 10 ft drop into water I knew you could swim in!!!
My character was the fat guy, I was doing great, had accumalated a shotgun, silenced pistol, bow, AK47, flares, 5 molotov cocktails. And I was DEAD.
So I turned off the U and thought I might be able to go to my last save. But the game had auto saved so my dude was dead.
Thankfully when I went back to the docks my dead player was floating in the water like a turd so I just walked back up to him and took all my items back. Thank heavens.
So, just after you break out into the Tower of London courtyard with the AK47, they ask you to evac to the top of the tower, but the door is locked and the door back to the safehouse at the top of the ladder is locked too. What am I missing?
Have to admit, I laughed.
Anyone check out those Luminous engine videos from the weekend? The faces were amazing even up close. From the neck down though the character models weren't doing anything special. Seems they pumped all the resources into the face, which is the right thing to do because that is what we focus on anyway. Shame seeing average current gen costumes though.

Dark Souls II details have spilled onto the internet courtesy of the latest issue of Edge.
For issue 249, which contains a ten-page feature (buy it online), the Edge team were treated to a ten minute demo of the sequel and described it as an "athletic leap forward in terms of graphical fidelity".
"Dark Souls 2, by contrast, looks effortlessly ready for the next generation of consoles, on a par with the fidelity of, say, Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313."
It goes on to say its visuals come "tantalisingly close" to hyper-realism.
According to Edge the sequel has been in development since September 2011 and will be "roughly the same size as its predecessor".
As implied by the name, Dark Souls 2 is a direct sequel to Dark Souls, but isn't set in Lordran. Although From Software didn't disclose the name of the new setting, it did say the name "will be key to the story" and will be revealed eventually.
Newly appointed director, Tomohiro Shibuya, was cagey on story details, offering up only a high-concept overview: It will once again focus on a cursed character seeking out a cure for his affliction.
Speaking about what distinguishes Dark Souls 2 from its predecessor, Shibuya alluded to "the concept of time and the existence of time" as key to game. He also says that "action" is something that he wants to improve in the game, be it motions or the combat system.
On the goal of making the game more accessible, Shibuya said familiar systems will be made much easier to understand.
"I personally feel the covenant system was something that was difficult to fully absorb and experience [in] Dark Souls," he said. "I intend to make it more accessible to players. And that's not just with the covenant system, but with a lot of other aspects that I felt were difficult to adapt to."
Finally, Shibuya discussed the inclusion of vehicles: "We want to constantly think of something new that hasn't been tried before, so that's where that idea [of the chariot] came up," he explained.
"Being in a ship or boat is definitely something we are considering but being able to control one is not in the works."
The Dark Souls 2 dev team is "Substantially bigger" and From Software has "nearly doubled the internal team focused on world creation alone," according to Edge. The game is estimated to be roughly 25% complete.
Xbox Japan marketing during TGS Spring 2001. The poster shows Bill Gates holding a burger and the new smaller Xbox pad.
Been reading the why Xbox failed in Japan article. This was a real advert?
I always thought it was a gaming forum joke?
Wow.
Dang.
So back to Zombi U, if you are worried about difficulty, I would say don't be.
I don't find the game hard at all. It's always fair and do-able and never really punishing - unless it's trying to be funny.
I don't get some of the bad reviews saying you are left with only your cricket bat and no ammo - so it's boring? I have a stash of 6-8 molotov cocktails, there are grenades about a lot. I have two pistols, a shotgun, sniper rifle, dart gun, AK47. I have two full packs of pistol ammo and two pistols already full with ammo, 10 shotgun shells, 8 darts, 4 grenades.
If this were a FPS sure, this ammo would not be a lot but you face invidividuals or a small bunch of enemies you can usually down with one grenade or molotov. So what's the problem? If I wanted to I could blast my way through the game but there is no need to. You don't have to just use the cricket bat endlessly but it is really useful for saving ammo and being silent. I mix things up, like do a couple of headshots and finish with the bat.
Yeah that eurogamer article is a great read. So weird learning about how that RE4 possibility faded away because of a shitty translation.
Japan and Europe have had their fun, now it's time for the North American eShop to get in on the action. Each of the classic NES Mega Man titles (that's 1~6) will come to said eShop beginning with the original Mega Man on December 27 - that's 10 days from now!
This will be followed by Mega Man 2 on February 7, with the rest of the games coming in regular intervals throughout 2013. You'll soon have the whole collection on one handheld!
SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:
After thinking about it for a week Kojima's VGA trailer has pushed him into Molyneux territory with me.
I used to think of him as a slightly sad person trapped by his own creations, now I see him as being like one of those guys who feel a need to mastubate in public.
