I'm on Episode 10, and I'm enjoying the series quite a bit so far; I plan to watch more over the holidays. I've been watching a lot of other anime series on Funimation and Crunchyroll, which is why I'm not further along on FMAB.

Have you watched any more Kill la Kill?

Nice. Glad you're enjoying it. I haven't watched anymore Kill la Kill yet but will check out a few more episodes over the holidays.

I gotta say, Halo: CE has never felt better than this play through.  I mean, I feel like I actually am mastering it.

As for Eurotruck Simulator 2, I di dmy first few jobs. It is hypnotic and strangely satisfying.

Played Mario Kart 8 for a couple hours online, I'm pretty mediocre but man is it a lot of fun. Some great tracks too. Saw this one guy from the US with a rating of 22422 or so, jeez. Played several matches and he was always in first place.

I'm on 3500 score, I come usually in the middle or top 5. It's tough, you need to know the tracks inside out, all the shortcuts and choose something with high speed and decent acceleration that doesn't handle like a dog. So I usually pick the bikes.

I'm polishing off Jojos Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, it's starting to grate at the moment, non-stop stand users, no story whatsoever.

My audio cable didn't show up so I couldn't play my 360, did some Art of Balance, cool game and it does get more tricky later definetly.

Um...

UK Majora's Mask Pre-order gets you... the mask!!!!

View image on Twitter

Good thing they imprisoned it in some sort of clear force field.  UK youngsters are obnoxious enough without having been corrupted and granted magical powers by some mask!

I thought we were getting a pin and an art book?

That's the Special edition. This pre-order bonus is for the standard copy.

Fuck Baynotta.  Seriously.  When the only way to advance the story is to attemt te same 3 minutes of gameplay over and over untill, more by chance than by skill, you manage to scrape a victory from the game, the fun is sucked right out of it.  And then you move over to the next 3 minutes of gameplay.  angry  Once this is over, it'll take some serious mental effort to start the second one.

If you start on normal can you drop the difficulty setting or do you have to start a whole new save?
