These new prices remind me of how badly I want an HD combo pack of Galaxy 1 and 2.

I'll probably grab SM Land and DK Tropical Freeze. But it took this long to drop the price of Wii games? What's the point.

Nintendo is weird. I'ts the only game company whose games hardly ever drop in price. If you wait 8 months for a Playstation game it's half price. If you wait 8 years for a Nintendo game you pay double.

Shit is getting old. That's the third delay. Oh well, more time for the Witness.

I've never played a Souls game before but Dark Souls III looks similar enough to Bloodborne that I think I would really like it.

Pumped for Dark Souls 3. If you liked Bloodborne you will like it and it looks like it's been influenced a bit by Bloodborne. Faster combat is the big one. Your character build will be a bit more complicated in dark Souls. A lot more to take into consideration and there will be a ton more items and a larger world.

I didn't just like Bloodborne, it was my game of the year.

The menus and everything look almost exactly the same to Bloodborne. That should make the adjustment a little easier.

The new tracks in Rocket League are awesome, especially the one with the two upper tiers on either side of the arena.

Also, I'll use this opportunity to bump my earlier request for an RM Rocket League team or tourney. I think only one person said before that they'd be into it? Anyway, I still think it's be great fun.

I'd be willing to play sometime soon if you want. Friend request sent. I haven't played in a good while so I might be a bit rusty.

Oh you will be able to pick it up very quickly. You'll just have to factor in details like how heavy your armor and weapons are because the heavier your set up is the slower you will move and be able to evade. It's subtle but it adds a cool layer.

If you have on super heavy armor and a massive two handed sword you will just fall down when you try to back step or roll. If you have on light armor, a dagger, and a small shield you will be able to basically flip backwards and roll like a martial arts bro.

Be patient guys, delays are always a good thing. Remember how many times Duke Nukem Forever was delayed?

How are you liking the game so far? I just found out about the obelisks and those are just...mindblowing...the way people have found them out.
Spoiler: show
"Line up the horizon so this half circle rock lines up with this other half circle rock and that's where the puzzle starts!"
wtf, how do you even think like this.

Just shows that my old ass isn't getting into MIT anytime soon, I guess.

I really like it. Trying to take it slow. Just working on the main puzzle areas right now. Very clever game.

Cool, accepted. I've got company through Monday, so let's try to get on together next week?
