This game looks pretty interesting. Any opinion on whether or not this would play better on a console or PC? I am kinda leaning towards XBOX360 version.

If you put any money down as a "good faith" payment do not allow it to change hands to the builder or the builders representative. Either have your realtors company hold the payment in escrow or in another escrow account. I was looking to move to Florida and put about 3k down on a new house being built. My house didnt sell and my company hired someone for the area so I did not move. I had to sue the builder to get my money back, this cost me about $500 in lawyer fee's. That was after I had given the realtor we were using in Florida to NOT give the money to the builder.

I picked the extended tutorial and the guy asked me where I wanted to go, I picked the town with pistol/melee. first mission was to beat on some chickens, did that no problem. Second mission is to use stun on a coyote; OMG all I find are starving coyotes, they dont count it appears, and they own my ass.

Bob and Frank are returning home from a fishing trip. A dear runs out into the road and the driver swerves to miss it, hits a tree and both men are killed. Bob wakes up and he realizes he is in heaven. One day as Bob is doing his angel work of cleaning clouds and tuning harps he see St Peter. Bob says "Hey Pete where is my buddy Frank I haven't seen him". St. Peter replies well you know not everyone gets to heaven Frank is in the other place. Bob asks if he can see Frank to make sure he is ok. St. Peter parts the clouds and Bob see's Frank. Frank is sitting in a lounge chair with a beer in his hand, naked woman on his lap, and a big screen TV with football on it in front of him. Bob asks St. Peter if he could speak to Frank to which St Peter replies "You can go down and talk to him but its a one way trip". Bob thinks for a minute and says I want to be with my buddy. Next thing Bob knows he is in a lounge chair with a cold beer, naked woman, and big screen TV in front of him right next to Frank. Frank asks "what are you doing here?". Bob replies " I looked down on you from heaven and wanted to join you after what I saw". Bob then realizes its very hot and goes to take a drink from his cold beer; he asks Frank" Hey Frank there is no hole in this beer?". Frank replies "there is no holes in the women either, hell ain't it".

I have been playing on the free account. I have a level 12 engineer, level 9 medic,level 8 recon and a tank of some level. The PvE missions are the same thing over and over. PvP is interesting but the levels of players in the mission dont seem to have any restriction; getting pretty much one-shot over and over again isnt much fun.

Upgraded my sons DS Lite to this on Sunday and he loves it. Cool little gadget, he spent a bunch of time trying to get the perfect picture of our miniature pincer.

I worked from home extensively for several years and that enabled me to get my degree done as well. Got a four year degree done in 2 years 10 months at Devry by going full time. My job enabled me to work very flexible hours but as part of that I was available 24/7. I used my same computer desk for both my work laptop and my home PC, its a decent size desk though.
You have to be able to work on your own. You have to be available to co-workers when they need you, answer the phone and return calls/e-mails promptly. You could do a ton of work but if the impression is your not available thats what they will remember. Make sure that where you work at can be quiet whenever needed for conference calls etc. People are understanding but they dont want to hear screaming kids or barking dogs in the background.

Yeah I cant figure out how to sell things and I think I "lost" my rocket for travel. I tried to travel to "my property" at the end of the avant area and its now gone. Had I thought about it I would have built all three rocket types before traveling to avant. I have 2 pieces of 2 different rockets and would have to grind up 5000 tokens to buy the missing piece.

If you time the howitzer shell right you can blow up all 20 infantry it drops in one big bang. If you follow the shell by holding the fire key you can controls its speed and steer it.

We did that as our High School class play in 1984 had an awesome time. Huge controversy blah blah all the shows we did were sold out and the city asked us to do it again over a few weekends in the newly remodeled just opened city theater.
I was an apostle, guard, they comibined 2 high preists lines into one person, plus in the general crowd scenes.

Got it and have played a bit today, never played the first one.
The campaign is a bit odd to me almost like you are just running place to place with no reason why you are doing it. Very much like you are a grunt that really doesnt have any idea as to what you are doing beyond the immediate mission.
Multiplayer is fun but as a solo player not so much. Played attack/defend maps (rush?) am doing best so far as a sniper.
Be prepared to get killed a lot by players that are a few ranks higher than you are as they have much butter weaponry. For instance a rank 3 sniper has a semi-automatic sniper rifle over the bolt action you stat with.
Tip - You have to drop the scope from your eye to reload the starting sniper rifle.
I also need to read up on how to use certain abilities of the other classes like medic and engineer.
