Alpha Protocol is painful to play. There is a good game in there somewhere but it's buried in a mountain of shit. I want to like this game. I want to enjoy it, but the game is fighting me the whole time. And it just froze when I tried to turn on a TV.

This is exactly how I feel about it, but I managed to put up with the shit and get through it.
I wish Obsidian had managed to get rid of the bugs and jank - it'd be fucking fantastic with a bit more polish and a fix-up.

Added baked beans, chilli, and curry powder to the left over bolognese. Ghetto transformation from Italian to Mexican.

Fueled by the power of the vodka.

It's fuckin shit. I spent an entire week trying to play it and didn't get out of the first mission hub area thing in Saudi or whatever. Literally gave me a headache every time I tried to play it. Broken janktaclar wank.

Hello gregster, welcome to the area of the internet where we post about the things we decide to post about.

Dude what? I thought you were like 22, hahaha.

Moving house today BritGAF. :( I'm excited but the only issue is that my room is still currently occupied by a student who is staying there until the last day of his rent, so I have to sleep in my mate's room. -.-

Yeah, I turned 35 last month, had a night out in London with some friends. I posted in here about it at the time, actually.

Speaking of moving house, I'm having to do that pretty soon (August) so today I sent out a bunch of enquiries to estate agents via RightMove about rental properties in Cambridge.

This made me chuckle a little bit. I miss games like this!

I loved Alpha Protocol, the only real problem I had was the fight with Brayko but otherwise I had a great time. It was one of the few games of the last few years that delivered exactly what I wanted from it. Steven Heck was a highlight too.

Yeah after using it today I'm starting to dislike how spread out everything is.

Just finished Journey. Fantastic game? Experience? Trip? It was somewhere between those, awesome nontheless.

I was hugely disappointed with Journey after Flower. Flower was a beautiful experience the likes of which I hadn't had since Rez. Should I go back to it?

Hi GAF, this is me, giving a thumbs up fail. :/

I'm off down the seafront with some of the lads to see my mate's band play at the amphitheatre. Weather is pretty good, the band are cool (well the lads are, I've never heard them yet, welp) and the crowd should be decent. Happy days.

Designated driver though, so I'll have to keep the merriment in check!

Haha, fair enough. Win8 makes better use of SSDs but if I hadn't already been on that OS I'd likely hang off for Win 8.1.
Click to expand...

Yeah I have heard that Windows 8 is able to use SSD's better, I've just got Windows 7 and programs on my SSD and I have a 2Tb Seagate Barracuda for my games, music and pictures. The Barracuda seems faster now than when it was my Windows drive.

I got really really bored this evening and started playing some Black Ops 2 with an ex work colleague... Everybody in the game was talking utter bollocks in the lobby about how they were so good - so I decided to play a troll styled game using pistol only... Needless to say, they got absolutely fucking destroyed and I was wetting myself!

Creating the videos now, hope I can get them on YT or something - would be pretty neat to show you guys

Is it just me, or are most American comics just a bit shit?
Click to expand...

It's probably you. Lots of good stuff out there right now.

Current series worth trying:
Hawkeye
Avengers Arena (and the previous series, Avengers Academy)
X-Factor (current writer has been on for 100+ issues, but it's been a great journey)
Daredevil (Mark Waid run)
Saga
The Manhattan Projects
East of West
Chew
Five Ghosts: The Haunting of Fabian Gray
Deathmatch
Five Weapons
The Unwritten
Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye and Robots In Disguise (by far the best TF comics since the 80's Marvel UK run)

Guys I could be wrong but I read that as comics as in comedians.

And the answer to that is "it's not just you; the Americans are are couple of decades behind us in terms of humour."
