It's not that it's hard (which it is) just that it is so out of sync with the flow and dynamic of all prior boss fights.
I think the part I'm looking forward to most about Vanquish is when you can make the dude with the gun go woosh along the floor then slow-mo jump into the air and pew pew pew the baddies in the face before doing a somersault and smoking a cigarette like a fucking champ.

On the subject of 'smoking is way cool', I am going to - against my better judgement - invest in and rewatch the first season of Mad Men on BluRay, a show I tried my darnedest to enjoy first time around but couldn't get into.
I blame Steve Gaynor, Chris Remo, Nick Breckon and countless others on my twitterfeed who can't stop raving about the latest series.

I don't smoke, but Mad Men makes it look motherfucking classy as hell

Took the wife and I a few goes, but after we got into it--about halfway through the first season--we've plowed through it and conveniently watched the third-last episode of the current season last night. Double Mad Men season finale awesomeness tonight.Bernbaum said:
My alcohol intake has substantially increased since we started watching Mad Men.

Problem with Mad Men is that actually describing in any interesting way it is next to impossible.
"Yeah, it's about these ad people in New York in the 1960s who get hammered all day."

Some good (bad) tv viewing is waiting for me at home after work but the support guy at ocz sent me an app for my SSD. The nerd in me wants to ditch everything and check it out. I have no idea what it's meant to do :lol
Hopefully it confirms that my drive is somewhat faulty and causing the file corruption issues in windows after a few weeks of use. Otherwise it's back to the drawing board with what could be wrong.

Was looking at buying an SSD just the other day and reading some reviews on newegg.com -- a lot of people seemed to have similar problems. How old is the motherboard? It seems SSDs don't play nicely with some controllers.evlcookie said:

My system is a few years old. However i think it's a firmware issue. The latest one seems to be causing the issues i and a few other people are having. I could have rolled it back but i'm lazy and on top of that it could actually be the hardware. Before updating to firmware v1.6 i had no complaints though. But because i've had it for about 1 year now and it's gone through a few updates to get to 1.6, it could just be a combination of faulty nands + shotty firmware.
However if you buy an intel or sandforce based ssd you shouldn't have any major issues. Both of those seem to be recommended.
@Rass. I'm mighty tempted to buy that shirt for no reason at all other than to own another cookie monster shirt. Curse you.

This is why I never play PS2 games anymore (Gamecube is taking up the component cable slots on the TV).rass said:

That's why you leave your PC on all day man. Fuck the environment. I bet your tv is on standby and so are all the other devices you use once a day. Unplug those and keep the PC on for pure gaming pleasure.
I've also had no major issues with any PC i've owned. Apart from me trying to tinker with shit and breaking things. This SSD could be seen as a major issue, But i enjoy it since it makes me learn new random things i will never bother to remember.

After the utter fiascos that were the PS2 Final Fantasy games, I've stopped playing non-handheld RPGs.
I would totally play western RPGs (if they ever put them on handhelds).Bernbaum said:
But what's this about shooting? I didn't realise it was an FPS.

Complaints about 360 failures is mostly hyberbole, considering it's under a lengthy warranty (three years I believe) and the probabilty of it occuring has been reduced substantially in each hardware revision. This applies to PC gamers especially, as they seem to conveniently forget the amount of hardware they have fail during a three year period, not to mention the forced upgrades that follow due to chipset/socket revisions.
I wager that any gaming PC owner you ask has had at least one piece of hardware fail in the last three years and most of this would not be covered by warranty, as most PC hardware gets a measly 1 year RTM warranty.
Oh but you have to send the 360 back to Microsoft to fix, I hear you say. If you ask me that beats having the manufacturer send you software to troubleshoot their faulty hardware.

I actually haven't played it yet... the first one drove me nuts that I gave up.
The combat is meh.
The driving bits around the vacant planets is stupid.
The dialogue trees while appearing open, actually weren't that much. Found on numerous occasions times where I couldn't pick the option I wanted.
It was rather cinematic in presentation though wasn't it?
All hardware fails though agyar. So you're screwed either way. At least with a PC you can have fun fixing it and hitting things with a hammer 
Poor Gaz. Hopefully that bris manabar thing happens soon and you can all buy him a drink. I guess that's it for krome then? or is it still just a handful of people left behind
