I can't help but think of Marathon, and the BoB's saying "Thank God it's you!" as they blow up in your face. God, that game was awesome.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

sorry I forgot there was also the check to do. I play no cards.

I tune out the replicated voices in Fallout 3. That may be due to a lot of playing of Borderlands.

All the perks are fun, and you are not "doing it wrong." Just a suggestion for the future.

Oh well. Still, it's moot as I have no plans to play the game a second time. I only intend to play it through the first time up until the point that it does something to annoy or bore me. It's kind of my filler game until Halo, and then Brink get here.

not your mom's socks.

What does he think of RDR so far? I thought the graphics were some of the best I've seen.

He likes it so far. The graphics are amazing. Will update when he quits getting shot off his horse.

You know, I thought Fallout 3 might be like that for me. Then I put over 100 hours in it (when I barely put over 60 in any game).

OTOH, I'm not an FPS player; I'm an obsessive RPGer with exploration tendencies, so that might be why. YMMV.

PS: I believe Helo's up to see if he wants to help Boomer out of the brig.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, I sort of fell down the rabbit hole about Portal. I didn't even know the game HAD a director's commentary.

And I'd always wondered about the name "Chell."

So I found this and his related articles very interesting: [link]

Oh, wow, those are really interesting! And it definitely makes me think about the game in a new way. Cool.

I have CO's from Helo! (gives stink eye to all those I *DON'T* have CO's from). Seems Helo has a bit of a crush on Boomer, and really wants to spring her from the pokie.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Let me finish this. It's very likely I'd just have to discard this card anyway.
