I actually randomly found The Saboteur on the Giant Bomb wiki a few weeks ago, and was planning on checking it out at some point.
I think when it first came out I didn't realise it was an open world game and after seeing some average review scores I gave it a miss.

I'm pretty sure they fixed that but can't be certain.
I had it on 360 but I'm looking forward to playing through again on PC, my Nvidia card is only a few years old so I assume I will be able to run it.
Also interested to see if I need to pay any extra for boobs.

Tempted to pick up destiny TTK today. They've fixed the grinding right?
Not really.
Yea they added more of it which means I went from zero interest to hyped. I blame ausgaf for this.

Game is awesome. Underrated as fuck. Sucks EA shut Pandemic down before it even came out
Kindaaaaaaa maybe. What do you mean by grind? They made levelling up to 34 super quick now. Just regular XP, no more light bullshit.
Quicker and easier to level up everything in general it feels. Running strikes is still the quickest way I expect.
Shame it's so fucking expensive. If it was $60 I'd jump back in. At $80 I'm pretty eh on the idea.
If you just need TTK upgrade it's $79 on PSN.

I got The Saboteur when Origin had some sort of free thing going, or a glitch, I forget.
Anyway, I don't think it was very good at all, got to the
, and just abandoned it around there. Haven't touched it since. I don't think it was under rated at all, I just think it's average at best.
Anyway, I don't think it was very good at all, got to the
first (?) race section
Ozgameshop have it for $67 if you don't mind the wait.

it has some mid-core jank (it also seems to be missing content towards the end- it wraps up abrubtly) but it was a really fun "create chaos" open-world game- like Red Faction Guerrilla.

That's like, 3% of the way into the game, it's still basically the tutorial section!
Gets better and better as you go along.
They have a lot of different lines, with not much variety within those lines, if that makes sense. Like you would go to woolies and be able to choose between a bunch of different brands of pasta source, but Costco will have one brand, and you'll have to buy ten bottles at once.
The quality is generally quite good. Definitely a couple of steps above Aldi in terms of household items. Meat is above average. Fruit/Veg below average. Frozen food above average. $20 Kirkland brand business shirts are awesome. Kirkland paper towls are awesome. $3 Hot dogs at the hot food place are awesome.
My initial impressions of Costco was that it was a distasteful orgy of consumerism, but I quite like the place now.
Buy it, everyone.
It runs fine. Hell, from memory I got it running fine on my 5850/5970 setup without issue, and those cards are old as fuck. I really need to upgrade my GPUs
I need to find a way to get a GPU with more RAM and similar performance (at least) for super, super cheap. Can anyone recommend any cards, even if they're oldish, that I could get?

Yea, its kinda like an Aldi but a better quality and bigger supplies. Just cheap prices. Usually eveything is cheaper at Costco then compared to Wollies or Coles, unless the item is on sale.
I go probably once every 6 weeks and spend around $600-$700 and it lasts me 6 weeks+. I don't buy much fruit and veg there as you can often find it cheaper at farmers markets or even aldi. But sometimes I do. Eg Spinich, Onions, Sweet Potatoes, Pumpkins, Garlic. Those are all cheaper, bananas are too usually. But things like Apples, Broccoli, Capsicum etc are more expensive.
In the end I usually get:
Meat - Last time I got 10kg of Lamb for 8.99 a kilo. It was a mix pack.
Roast Chook - $7
Frozen Berries - $8 a kilo
Free Range Eggs - $6.49 for $18
Any household items, toilet paper, soap, body wash, etc are all way cheaper.
Coffee - Even instant stuff like Moccona is is $36 for 2x 400g. One 400g in wollies is like $28.
It can be a bit overwhelming at first, especially if you don't know what to get. But its deff worth it in the end. Unless you always shop on special then you will be saving money.
You def need storage space though for Costco. Also, I think what a bit off putting is the upfront price you pay. But things last forever. I mean I still have the same cling wrap and aluminum foil from over a year ago.

That's probably the best summary. I never liked The Saboteur, but then I hated Red Faction: Guerrilla and got bored of Just Cause 2. If you enjoyed those games you'd probably love The Saboteur.
I miss Pandemic though, I was a massive fan of both Mercenaries games. I really think the second one was criminally underrated.
so not planning on staying in jp forevs?
maybe i'll come back when I can get a proper law talky job or something but from everything i hear the work culture is poison
poiiiisonnnnnnnnn.
that's not counting the language issues and other misc. stuff which irritates me on a day to day basis, like houses having no insulation whatsoever
yeah fuck this standard
alsojust a btw if you work in law, the .law, .attorney, .lawyer, & .legal domains are being released this year, which is pretty cool
Oh man, it's so damn good.
Wife and I have already put about 20 hours in to it since Saturday monring.
:')
$80 that I don't have

Hey mate, hope you're doing well! <3
fuckin told you
that SCEJA conference was something else holy shit. And I thought Sony had a good E3.
man, i was pretty set on getting the ps1 ps4 controller, but now they throw transparent into the mix:/
yeah, language is the main thing holding me back from giving japan a proper shot. i mean, if i'm gonna get super fluent in another language it should probably be mando anyway
but, kotatsus!

We should start a fund for JC Sera, everyone can chip in $5 and buy Super Mario Maker =P
I feel like I would disappoint you all with my distinctly non-kaizo levels
It's been a pretty crazy couple of days. Feels weird being on this side of it all now.
Currently looking for work, so that's good. Lots of people helping out
