Last sunday's breaking bad was the best hour of TV I have ever seen in my life.

Is the Series episodic? Or does it feel like you're watching 1, very, very long movie?

Cos I prefer the latter.

Alright finally played through it, clocked in about 26 hours.

Storytelling wise I felt like the pacing was off sometimes. They threw a bone at you plotwise, then fed it to you in small chunks even more and then when the big reveal comes it's super apparent. Some gameplay sections in between those chunks are pretty long so that didn't help either It's sort of a nice story and I like the morality in it, but a lot of it is not new and was predictable. So yeah, by the time the cut scenes were thrown at you I couldn't enjoy it as much because it was so obvious.

Eliza being an AI was very obvious at one point, I don't know what exactly gave it away but I wished they would've just kept it for when you actually met her and boom... surprise. Hacking the bio-chips to take control over people with augs... Very "I Robot" ish, they didn't really have to do much to point into this direction so again, no surprise. And then the Illuminati, seriously wtf was that about Was a bit of a disappointment.

Overall it's still very nice though, definitely better than most game stories and the execution is still very decent despite what I said earlier. It still sets itself quite a bit apart because of the whole augmentation technology and the morality issues accompanied with it, really enjoyed watching all the endings. They all had some good points!

Gameplay wise, some dull parts towards the end because you have almost everything unlocked and it becomes a walk in the park. I played stealthy all the way through except for the end with the

crazy augs, just too many of them and couldn't be arsed to go through them quietly, just wanted to finish by then

. Some cool things here 'n there, the conversation choices were pretty sweet.

Might be GOTY for me, it had its flaws but overall was definitely a very good experience.

Oh and don't know if it's been said yet but the 2nd boss:

Tase her with the shock rifle or whatever it's called = stunned. Then walk close, shotguns to the head. Tase again, shotgun -head. Was pretty lame once I found it out

Congrats Raise him well!

For those that aren't checking Steam daily... Mirror's Edge is on sale on Steam. So that's €2,5 (!!!) If you haven't played it yet, now's the chance.

Primer

Pretty good movie although the pacing is sometimes very fast which makes it a bit hard to follow. Or I'm just getting stupid...

Mulholland Drive... I have no idea what it was about, some vague things occured to me but wtf, no movie has ever left me this confused...

And offcourse like Steam usually does... Now Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 is on sale half price. Well it was €10 anyways so I guess it doesn't really matter that much.

But bleh!

Never played Magic before... The demo was pretty cool and it's really cheap so I bought it Love the gameplay!

Saw Tangled and Rango. Rango was alright, pretty obvious plot and jokes were sort of OK. Impressive CGI though! But I enjoyed Tangled way more.

What's the deal with beer? I had 135HP and now only 100 Is it only a temporary effect?

Bulletstorm, pretty cool so far

Gratz Patrick!

A5 was all the size I needed (Intuos 3). Can't comment on different tablets but the size at least, was definitely enough for texturing and the like. Perhaps not for concept art, dunno... I don't do that stuff.

4h in, damn this game is a lot of fun Exploring and reading stuff is really rewarding!

Ah time to get a phone then...Grats

True Gotta get myself a swedish number soon.

Just an update since my contract was about to end, now I'm hired indefinitely or whatever that's called at Dice happy times!

If it's a €20-30 release then I'm getting it. Although I'm not super psyched about it, but it's sort of nice if you want to play something really quick. Usually, that was CS for me but I don't really play it much these days.
