Wait to see if any comes up for the Steam sale. I got them all last time for chump change.

BF3 360
MW3 360 - picked up the second DLC pack with the current sale. Had some fun so far.
Too Human - playing this through to the end of the second time and then will probably move on to something better.

This last monday I beat Theme Hospital!

Now it's time for that other doctor game in celebration. 

Still have yet to finish this. Think I made it to the second disc during one attempt. Pretty sure I still have the ISO on my PSP so maybe I will load it up to try again. Just never got into it like others I guess.

Terminal will be with Elite Subscribers on the 17th July,while everyone else will be able to get it the next day

Strange they would pick that map of all of them. Too bad there's no One Man Army and Thumpers in this game... Usually had to bust out the 'tubes during that map as someone would inevitably start at some point. 

The older B/G WiFi adaptor has clips that fit into 2 slots on the back of the original 360.  So if you have a slim I'd recommend checking to see if it's even possible to connect it.

Just uses USB port so even it it's in the front hanging it will be fine.

My problem with the front page is that it loads so slow for me. All the social network integration bogs it down too much so I skip it. Seems to be better now but initially with this design it was unbearable.

They initially had the first two DLC packages up on Major Nelson's blog for 50% off (600MS) for this coming week (06/03), but they took them down. I was actually thinking I'd pick up the second but not now apparently.

How many Spartan Ops episodes are they putting out? I know they said the first batch was free so what's after that?

Interestingly, traffic to the front of the site has increased.   

Sounds like you need to point them towards the forum more then.

Should have mounted some ears on that thing for him.

Good to hear that he's doing better!

Short list of some exclusives:

God of War Collection (1 & 2) - remastered PS2 ones
God of War Origins (2 PSP games) - remasted
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Ratchet & Clank Future: Clockblockers Crack in Time
Resistance series
Killzone series

Er, lots more. Have fun. I'm thinking about selling my 60gb at some point and picking up a slim myself.

Yeah, but I was thinking something a little closer in time.

I haven't seen much activity on the Wings front yet despite all their talking on getting some big talent. Kinda getting me worried.

BF3 360 - still playing this nightly with a bunch of Arstechnica guys. Mostly good stuff and much nicer than pubbing it up as one of them got a server a while back so we can kick the troublemakers.
Red Dead Redemption - got the 100% redeemed and looking at the MP section now. Probably won't do much with it as I tried a little last night and constantly got gunned down within a seconds of spawning by the same guy every time.
Too Human - still messing with this occasionally getting the low hanging achievements.

Dunno what else. May start something else from the backlog pile. Wolverine Origins is supposed to be decent so I may try that or restart something I've stalled on. Probably won't do much of anything as nice weather and all.

Got 1000GS in Singularity and returned to RDR to try to get the 100% redeemed achievement.

Getting ready to drive to near Pittsburg in a few to see what one would assume will be a killer show. My buddy did Cincinnati last night as well, and we are also doing Cleveland tomorrow. Nice little mini vacation. It's amazing how I can't ever get up early, but up at 9 today! I should not have drank what I drank last night... Today and tomorrow are going to be bad enough... So, anyone here into this sort of awesome music?

I just know that I have a cover somewhere they did of Gin & Juice and it makes me laugh every time.

I got nuthin'.

I'll be playing theme hospital

Aww yeah, love that 'doctor' game.

Except I'm playing it in real life

That's what I'm talking about.

I'll be playing theme hospital

Aww yeah, love that 'doctor' game.

Raising cash for Child's Play playing through the mainstream Mario titles. Raised somewhere close to $120k last year.

BF3 - Trying out the hardcore modes lately. Actually not that bad. I play the CoD ones in HC a lot but never really tried this before. Have one more assignment to complete for the MTAR and those will be done. Kinda liking the new content so far.
Too Human - still playing through this slowly.

May fire Red Dead back up to try for the 100% redeemed at some point.

Looking forward to it. Even liked the Stallone one despite not knowing much about the series.

Sidekick is pretty decent to look at as well. (This one, not Rob Schneider... I like him, just not that way.)

I'd take the HD if he doesn't.

reading this page saddens me,where have half of these people gone?

Yeah, this place needs to work on getting some new blood in here. Small communities are fine until even they start losing people.

Anyways, I'll probably check this out when it arrives so I can relax on the couch instead of the PC like the first time.

This show wasn't about the aliens instead it's more about the humans that are left. That's always been the underlying theme.

Most people felt jipped from not seeing the aliens attack during last season. That's already happened in that world. They came, saw, and pretty much conquered already. People complaining they didn't see any of that was silly as it wasn't supposed to be about that part.

[Spoiler]

Finished GoW: Ghost of Sparta on PSP. Not as good as Chains of Olympus but it did have it's moments. Get in some BF3 MP as usual at night for a short bit with an eventual domination against a couple real dicks last night. Oh so satisfying win.

Ghost of Sparta ending question:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Who was that supposed to be at the very end? Wife of Kratos? Only one left is his kid I would guess.

There is a God of War Vita game now? How is that? It's looking like the Vita is something I will have to consider picking up at some point with Uncharted and GoW now. Started to appreciate my PSP more lately after updating the firmware although I still can't get the PMPstreamer or VLC software to work properly now.

The price started at $5 with no reserve and free shipping.

Actually here's the link itself:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251079439706?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649#ht_500wt_1200

I'm not sure how anyone could "confuse" that as coming with the $45 card.

I still feel they are in the wrong here but as ebay usually always seems to rule in the buyer's favor it may not be worth the hassle of fighting it.. and of course the buyer is demanding a refund "now" which if they don't return the card to me means I lose both the $25 and the card.

That sale seems pretty clear that it was just the card and not airtime. Sounds like the person discovered they spent too much for the card and doesn't want to pay up.

This weekend is Father's Day so that means that those of you with family and kids will should be busy doing other stuff than gaming.

However, those of us with no kids can thoroughly enjoy our gaming time.

Myself, no kids so:

BF3 - picked up Premium so checked out some of the new content last night.
MW3 - still playing this although it's tapered off a bit lately.
Too Human - Human commando in this. Nearing the end of the first time through and debating on doing another. Still haven't quite figured out the runes and charms and the camera certainly leaves something to be desired but it's been an experience so far.

What about you?

Someone should submit that stuff to the NBC Brian Williams news guy. Make sure it's an emphasis on the guy trying to get the charity support shutdown. I bet he would back off quick with that much bad press.

Is this the same Oatmeal from the GG/OO/GT sites?

Are you maybe thinking of TheMeal?

By the way, it seems the asshat lawyer is trying to get the charity drive shut down now.

Yeah, I was thinking it was the same person for some reason.

There's a few uncomfortable looking people in there. Knoxville looks like he's got something wrong. 

Love how RDJ is still rocking the Tony Stark look. Just living it up.

Is this the same Oatmeal from the GG/OO/GT sites?

I restarted Too Human with a Human Commando. Had some trouble before I respec'd and changed it to a guide I found. Much easier. Not sure I will do a replay of any sort with it when I finish it but for now I will plow on through it.

You'll know when you get there.

Dang it, now I want to replay it.

[Far Cry]

Hmm.  Been playing the original Far Cry after picking it up on the Steam sale.  Been messing around with Worms: Reloaded and :Golf.  Messed around with Dungeons of Dredmore last night and got my guy killed on Level 1 (again).  Maybe I should stop running in hardcore(?) mode.  There's also the closed beta of W**ld of W**Pl*n*s.

On track to go bowling with the gf, probably Saturday.

Put in a little more Far Cry time, got to the top of the mountain for the helicopter assault, which I remember now as the point where I quit.  Still not playing it with anything approaching a significant degree of stealth.

Went bowling on Saturday and got 4.5 games in on their pre-timed 2-hour deal.  Bowled fairly consistently in the 130 range.  GF improved every single game.  I attempted to start hooking the ball, and I got it to work a little bit, but nothing like the power spins that my Dad and the pros use.

Taught the GF to play Nightfall last night.  She beat me, managing to hijack one of my cards with a kicker attached to her hijack and award me 6 wounds, which put her in an easy win state.  She liked the game, so there's likely more games in our future.  I need to start looking at the expansions and card sleeves.

I got to the point where I would lure the thing over to the cliff and let it leap to attack me thus falling over the edge. Saved myself a few bullets that way which were much appreciated at that point.

Wings will be sad to see him go. He makes a good goalie.

Welp, guess we win it on home ice.

Starting to sweat a little gellar? 

BF3
MW3 - Double weapon XP this weekend for E3 week
???

May start something new from the backlog. Been making decent progress on stuff lately.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but that did nothing for me so far. No excitement for it. The biggest interest I put in it so far was trying to determine who's the purple rhinoceros with the giant wang right above the cherry.

Looks fanstastic

Agreed. Let's hope it's a decent game too.

I'd love to see more of the darker side of SW finally. Let's see some more of Nar Shaddaa too.

Looks like no Nar Shaddaa though.  1313 is the level on Coruscant they are going to.

Oh I know it's Coruscant, but I swear the Smuggler's Moon was in one of the other games too. Similar type of place. Only with large slugs.

Finished the story of RDR. Started the SP of BF3 finally.

May go back and get a few more achievements in RDR at some point.

Finished the SP of BF3. Not as bad as people made it out to be. Revolutionary? No, but it entertained me for a few hours.
