    Last of Us redux

    Played some more. At about 45%. I always take my time, explore, find hidden things, etc... I have about 8 hours into it.

    It has gotten a lot better since the first, say 20%. There is a little more variability with the work benches and supplements. I like the fighting. You really have to stalk/plot in order to 'win' and move on, which often times takes a few tries. Okay, I want to shoot this guy in the back of the head, then lob a nail bomb in the doorway for when everyone rushes at me. That didnt work, so I am going to try to flank them and get elevated, etc... I like that, and the scarcity of Ammo adds a great deal to that. Thats why I always love the early stages of games like Fallout.
    I love the shotgun too.

    Story/immersion is very good.

    I still have various issues with the layout. Last session, I saw a hidden item, I took one step too far, hit a cut scene, and was sealed off from then obtaining the hidden item. That has happened a few times before I could explore an entire area.
    I generally found the second half of the game to be more "exciting" than the first.

    I'm gonna give it another month or two then play through it again.

    I've heard its good, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

    There is a video up on IGN where Seth Rogan is playing the opening scene of The Last of Us.
    Pretty funny stuff!


    Don't watch if you haven't played the game yet though as there are def spoilers!

    I'm halfway thru Uncharted 3. Started off slow, but now it's fantastic stuff.

    I stand alone without beliefs

    Yeah, Uncharted 3 was a damn good game. I like Uncharted 2 better (better story), but 3 was a lot of fun!

    Nothing like driving the ship into the rocks and jumping off right before it hits.
    Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.

    Just ordered MLB 13 The Show for $30. I saw the Brewers and Mets play this weekend and my interest is baseball has been renewed (which is pretty amazing considering I watched the Brewers and Mets play each other).

    I have several favorite teams ... but they all suck. I'm considering picking Seattle and then doing a draft. Is that an option?

    You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    H. Kojima is impressed with GTAV as well.

    http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/11/ ... e=facebook


    Hideo Kojima has revealed he's depressed by the quality of Grand Theft Auto V, as he doesn't think Metal Gear Solid V will be able to measure up to it.

    Taking to his Twitter, the legendary game designer expressed his admiration for Rockstar and said the studio's upcoming game would raise the bar for all other developers.

    Someone playing EVE Online (super complex sci fi MMORPG) had a spy trick his group into an ambush where his (actual real money value) $9,000 super cruiser was destroyed.

    :shock: :o :fp: :crazy: :lol:

    I could see someone getting shot or stabbed for doing something like that. :geek:

    I'd like some good vibes for my buddy Tyson.

    He is in NYC right now getting ready to compete for $250,000 in the MLB2K13 Perfect game challenge.

    He got screwed out of the $25,000 since the top scoring guy above him got a higher challenge score with the same team.
    NERDS!
