Huh... that does actually look pretty cool. I'll be anxiously awaiting your impressions. 

So, no other thoughts? Am I the only person on the planet seeing this? 

What kind of network connection are you on?

High speed cable. This might be something new with IE10... I'll have to see what happens on a couple of systems I have here.

Edit: My crappy work laptop that still runs IE8 does the exact same thing. As noted, each page is first rendered with no ad space at the top and then "pop" it goes down when the ad show up. Move to the next page, it pops back up and then down again. Now that I'm looking for it, it's getting annoying. Ah well. 

Don't know if others are seeing this on other browsers but I'm running IE10 and the pages are first rendered without space for the ad at the top and then everything pushes down and the ad appears. So there's a lot of "hopping up and down" when navigating inside and around the forums. Not horrible but thought it was worth mentioning...

Doesn't have wireless? AFAIK, every PS3 has wireless built in... unless they removed it at some point or for some SKUs? My launch 60GB (which is still chugging along) has it built in. 

Anything more after the credits?

Decided not to stick around... curious if we missed anything.

[awesome]

I'm not done with this yet but I'm enjoying it immensely, which means this will be one of a small number of games that I will actually finish... not a small feat for me. Always seems like something shiny comes along and distracts me. 

It would have been awesome if they could have found a way to keep all of her weapons slung on her somewhere as she accumulates them. You'll see that in the cut scenes, from what I recall, too bad it just doesn't seem possible in game. Does anyone remember a game that actually did that? I don't... they are usually of the magically re-appear variety and tend to take me back to the first Leisure Suit Larry game where he could literally shove anything into his pants... err, inventory... including a 30 gallon trashcan IIRC. 

I'm at the "escape the burning temple" section which is one ambush after another which means I tend to stop after dying too many times in a row and come back later for another try. Thankfully it is very forgiving when it comes to checkpoint saves.

Figured you meant it would be announced for the PS4 but by the time it actually came out it would be a launch title on the PS5. 

FYI on the soundtrack in the boxed copy. Only six songs but they are pretty rock'n. Nice commentaries on the back of the sleeve about the genesis of each one, too. 

Let me save you the poking... here. 

Four people do not a colony make. 

[ton]

I enjoyed it. However, as noted there is a ton of backstory here that we don't really know but that they allude to... like the Pale Wars and ARKFALL. Found that I really needed to peruse the official website and there's also a free iBook with lots of nice content and history.

Amazon shipped this to me yesterday but I haven't had time to do squat with it yet.

Amazon just reminded me that I ordered Pandora's Tower and Soul Hackers some time ago.

Probably for the best... then perhaps we can judge it on its own merits and not filtered through whatever XCOM baggage people bring along with them. 

Either one is just fine for PC gaming. Don't let that drive your choice.

Just to comment on a few things here. I have 5 games on cart, 10 dl games, and 3 psp games on this 32gb stick. I still have 16 gb free! I don't like the pricing on the memory sticks at all, but this 32gb really has lasted.
So off to try gaulamelee!!!

I just downloaded Atelier Totori, which is a wonderful addition to the stable of games if you like carefree JRPGs with a heavy emphasis on alchemy. But I was stunned that the game is almost 3GB. Of course, it IS one of the the best looking title on the system.

For me in the PS Store, this shows as "disk only". And it looks like it's the 3rd of three games. Should someone new to the series start with the first one or does it matter?   Oh - there's a "plus" version for the Vita, I see. How different is it from the PS3 version?  Need to go investigate, it would seem.

Thanks for that, helps explain the issue for me.

Gratch, I don't have a horse in this race but I was wondering about this part:

If life begins at fertilization, then they are essentially outlawing In Vitro fertilization procedures.

Where does this come from? I looked at a summary of the legislation and it has this:

"The bill redefines one term currently in statute, “medical emergency,” regarding a pregnant woman, and adds these two definitions for the terms “bodily function” and “fertilization” in the general abortion statutes"

"Fertilization” means the fusion of a human spermatozoon with a human ovum."

Which would include In Vitro. Not knowing anything about the "general abortion statutes" there, is this what you were referring to?

 More like bubbles than folders but hey -  I'll take it. 

Sigh vs. Sigh.

 

I like how the first title she earned as Education Secretary before becoming known as the Iron Lady later in her career was "Margaret Thatcher, Milk Snatcher".   

Chicken dancing on the live feed.

So... did anyone "call Carrie"?

In another testimonial to the power of low expectations, I found this movie hilarious. Really hadn't expected to LOL several times. In fact, I hadn't even expected to enjoy it.

+1

Then there's Nazis at the Center of the Earth with Jake Busey which is just plain... awful awful.

So... Full Throttle 2?   

Consultant in the Data Warehousing / ETL space, currently working for the DoD helping modernize their Tricare processing.

I guess that's a no. 

I'm just hoping that he can protect his ex-wife from all those crazy Poe-head-wearing cultists! 

FWIW, I have an unused Steam code for this as well.

Well you can always just go into sleep mode.

Of course but there have been a couple of times when I've wanted to do something else, which meant either putting it off until I could save and exit properly or just letting the new program kill it. No worries, was just curious.

[only]

So does this game only save back with the Professor? Or am I missing something?  

Don't the new 360s take standard laptop drives? Got a spare sitting around?

No, that would be the PS3. 

Finally got some time to get back to this. Got near to the 'radio tower' bit and for some reason decided to jump back to the Mountain Village to get closer to 100%. Turned around at the top of a pick climb and saw an entrance I hadn't noticed before with two statues guarding it with two big dudes to kill just on the other side. And then I proceeded to die several times trying to jump to places I really wasn't quite able to reach.

Finally resorted to some googling and found I was there a little... early. Rope arrows. Which I no got. Yet.  [sigh]

Back to the tower...

Been wondering the same thing myself. When I put it in 'sleep mode' it sleeps like my dog does, legs moving running after rabbits or some such... lights keep churning away and it eats up whatever is left of the battery way faster than I recall my non-3D version doing.

True... while the older 360s with their noisy DVD drives really benefitted from installing games to the hard drive (or at least my ears benefited), the new 'slim' models don't really need it the vast majority of the time.

I need to get back to this... got distracted by Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite. 

Nice!

Regarding your spoiler and the choice you have to make with #77... does what happens next change at all depending on your choice?
