Yeah its kind of like something like Metal Gear or Splinter Cell in 1st person.

I don't like the sound of that, in stealth I like to see my character in relation to the enemies. I guess at least on U there will be a realtime map.

I was playing Luigi's Mansion for something like half an hour or more doing this mission before I died at some boss type thing and now I have to do the whole thing again from the start.  Seriously Nintendo?  It ain't 1986 for fuck's sake  

*pulls own hair*

If you look at the clock most missions take 20 minutes or less but it seems longer when you are playing. What boss was this? It can't have been a proper boss because most are sectioned into their own levels so you don't normally have to restart from the beginning of a stage.

I'm getting those, eventually. 360 is in dreamcast mode at the moment i.e waiting to pick up the games at lowered prices at some point. On a side note, why does it seem COD prices never drop?

it wasn't a proper boss, just a sort of end-of-mission boss.  It was those three sisters with the mirrors ghosts in the graveyard.  Quite easy the second time but they kept jumping me the first time.

I remember how outraged I was after Newtown when THAT weekend the NFL were all wearing special uniforms and had children's choirs singing at games.  FUCK ME.  What the hell does NFL have to do with a bunch of 6 year olds getting shot up?  Or even being facilitators of national healing?  Leave it to elected/ spiritual/ community/ leaders.  You corporations stick to selling stuff.

BONUS CONTENT: Cool photo essay of japanese school (abandoned).

I do not agree. Sports I believe is the ultimate form of returning to normalcy this country has. After 9/11 it wasnt until the NFL decided it was ok to play games that the rest of the sports world followed, it was sort of a collective moment where we all realized its ok to get things back to normal. I mean so in terms of entertainment, work obviously goes on.

Sports does this in a way movies or TV can never do.

That was sorta tough yeah. You have to know when to release and not be dragged into damage.

When does your U arrive?

Yeah, I was trying to vacuum all the way to the 3rd indication when I should have been pressing A as soon as it went to the first.  I did it OK the second time.  It also helped getting the weaker ones first so as not to have to be dealing with all three at once.  I'm loving this game.  I'm hardly finding any of the Boos though.  Is it possible to find them first time around?  I'm also mostly getting one star ratings and not finding all the gems

My U should have already been here.  I hope to have it by the end of the week or early next week.  I ordered Mario as well.  I know it's not the best Mario Bros but I think I'll probably be wanting to play it when I get my hands on the U.  Though that and Lego will likely be my only two games until the new ones (like Pikmin 3 etc) start being released.

Quick question before Durango. If it weren't for Deep Down, would have you have been impressed with the next gen level of tech as shown by the other games on PS4?

I may be past the point of being impressed by new tech.  It's probably an age thing.

This Xbox reveal is very under-whelming game-wise.

MEGA(FUCK)TON: THERE'S A FEE TO INSTALL ONE GAME TO MORE THAN ONE PROFILE ON ONE XBOX ONE SYSTEM ! ! !
