Darth Groovy Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Well crysis 2 hasn't made me scream aloud and throw things vowing vengeance on ubisoft like far cry 2 did, so... it's not quite into FC2 territory yet I spent some time playing this game in SP last night, and played some multiplayer this afternoon. The game is gorgeous on many levels. The graphics are breathtaking! Also the game play is amazing due to the crazy jumps you can make using the suit. I am rather glad I bought this game. I had a lot of fun with it today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Ordered some junk off Amazon.com that showed up today: Dunno if I told any of you, but since Game Stop does not longer take in original Xbox stuff, we had some customers that left a couple of consoles on the counter and took off. One of them was an original Halo Xbox console. Since I did not have the customer's contact info, I decided to give the system a home. I took it home, and set it up in my bedroom. I even picked up a few original Xbox games from a local used store. I currently have: Doom 3, The Punisher, Return To Wolfenstein, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Painkiller Hell Wars, From Russia With Love, Mercenaries, Republic Commando, X-Men Legends II, Matrix Path of Neo, Ninja Gaiden Black, Halo, Medal of Honor Front line, Burnout Revenge, Sid Meir's Pirates, Shadow Ops Red Mercury, Shelshock Nam '67, Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, and Half Life 2. Also ordered a Logitech wireless controller which should be showing up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_hill987 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 The graphics [in Crysis 2] are breathtaking! Looks far worse than the first one IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just bought a Third Generation 32GB iPod Touch. I'm very happy with it so far. I spent some time playing this game in SP last night, and played some multiplayer this afternoon. The game is gorgeous on many levels. The graphics are breathtaking! Also the game play is amazing due to the crazy jumps you can make using the suit. I am rather glad I bought this game. I had a lot of fun with it today! I've yet to play it, other than a couple of rounds in the demo. I'm still disappointed they mashed Strength, Speed, and Armor mode into one.

TiE23 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I've had this for like two weeks now, but I finally sat down and played a big part of it... for like, 11 hours straight. In the campaign I mostly used auto-resolve for battles. I relied on really big armies to do my dirty work... and I'm no good at managing large armies. I did win a short campaign in less than 20 years, though. So yay me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxStar Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Isn't Blockbuster a sinking ship? They were just bought by Dish Network at a Bankruptcy Auction. Not sure what to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverandbacon Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Isn't Blockbuster a sinking ship? Better a job with an uncertain future than no job at all. Though keeping an eye out for other opportunities would probably be wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Better a job with an uncertain future than no job at all. This. A thousand times this. Even if they're only open for another half a year, that's another half a year that I have a job. Plus it's something to have for future applications. The only job I ever had was at my families auto garage, and I got paid off the books there, so I could never list it as previous employment. Now I have something to put down there. Also, as for keeping my eye out for other opportunities, I have some connections at a casino in the Spa department that I can use once I get my car up and going, but I have no idea how long that will take because I still have no idea what all is wrong with it. I know for a fact it needs a new transmission, tires, and rear windshield, but who knows what else could have gone south since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only job I ever had was at my families auto garage, and I got paid off the books there, so I could never list it as previous employment. Now I have something to put down there. This is possibly the most important part. From what I've been hearing from friends and family (can't really speak from experience, since my career has pretty much been university->Army->new job straight out of Army, so I haven't personally gone through the whole career search process), even entry-level jobs at many companies now require work experience, negating the whole meaning of entry-level. Also, work experience from a company not tied to your own family would likely be viewed as more reliable by other employers (whether it actually made a difference or not). I hope you're able to get the car situation sorted out, I know how annoying that can be. I seem to have absorbed my family's habit of keeping a car for as long as possible, only giving up on repairs once it's going to start costing more to keep alive than it would to just sell it and buy a new car.

BongoBob Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 My Coheed and Cambria Second Stage Turbine Blade Vinyl bundle arrived, and after a quick trip to Michaels for framing stuff (all their framing stuff is 50% off right now), my room has a slightly religious feel to it now. I'm super happy with how it all turned out. Now to resist buying more Coheed swag for a while >.> <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Crysis 2 (Steam) Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Steam) Halo: Reach (Free) Eating With The Enemy (Kindle) (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) This book has an incredibly high rating for books. 56 Five-stars, 4 Four-stars, and only one requisite rage One-star. I'm anxious to dig into it later today.
