It's something to do with shadows. These things MATTER, damn you!
Think I'll wait until I get a PS4. That way I can have more PS4 games to play when I get one. Doing the same for Diablo and Wolfenstein.
Dark Souls 2 is very polished, but the first is a much better game.

Truth talk.
I like Dark Souls, but it's kind of janky and too hard for its own good. (It just is, don't lie to yourself.)
TLoU is a stunning game, top 5 material for all the reasons Mike just said. Just an incredible achievement.
At multiple points during my playthrough I was gobsmacked/amazed/close to tears, at times a combination of all three.

You're a big guy.
It is rather good. Very Brazil. Submarine is better but Ayoade is shockingly talented.

Admittedly I don't watch that many films, I'm not one for going out to the cinema and watching all the latest blockbusters and stuff, but Submarine is just a nigh on perfect movie to me, in the top three movies I've seen in the last few years, easily.
One of the best movies I've ever seen. Pretty much flawless. Not much else to say, everyone should see this. Everyone!
Just a staggering performance from Elizabeth Olson, she's incredible. It's a simple tale, but told really well. Plus bewbs.
I really, really love this; smart, funny, touching and beautifully shot. Alex Turner soundtrack too, win.

Your opinion is wrong.

a combination of remasters of the big exclusive titles, and PSNow (coming to Europe soonish?) might make actually buying a PS3 not great value for money.
Yeah, it's a nice change, the new board is cool (music and flavour text as well), the normal mode are a breeze so far, the class challenges are cool and the heroic mode can be pretty hard.
It's just a cool way of unlocking new cards really.

Good luck man!
I lasted six months before I got bored of retail/began to loathe the general public/lost any sense of challenge in my lowly position in the food chain. Co-op by it's nature seems a little more warm by it's nature and history towards its employees though!
Next have black pants for £20, they've lasted me the entire year I've been in my current job.

Good luck. Don't wear jeans.
Did they ask you to wear black jeans?
No, wear trousers!

bitch I'm taking calls.
Vash, Jimbor is the asshole manager you might get if you tried to wear jeans.
"Strange. I could have sworn I said 'sweep the floor' not 'stand there with your thumb up your ass'."
Get some real black trousers. I've gotten away with jeans before when I worked retail after being there a few months, but if you're new they will eagle eye that shit in seconds. They are actively looking for any sign of fuck ups when you are new.

Hey dapper. It expired a while ago but I haven't been posting much. I was amused to see your mug pop up at the end of guardians of the galaxy.
So I'm 11 hours in to The Last of Us and it's pushing all the right buttons for me. Already quite emotionally involved with the story and characters. I think Yahtzee was right when he called it the gaming equivalent of Oscar bait but it's just so thoughtfully put together.
As a game qua game there might be better (even though it's solid) but as a whole it really is something special. I'm still grimacing after every close-range kill and E has had to ask me to shut up because I keep shouting in panic whenever anything intense happens. I'm tough like that.

There are things about the game that I respect; one bit kills from clickers was such a good decision from a design point of view for example. It raises the tension and forces you to treat those enemies as a legitimate threat, as opposed to a fight you can mess up so long as you have enough health kits.
Once you've finished the story have a go at the multiplayer, even though I sense that's perhaps not your thing. The multiplayer impressed me as well; the same limitations on ammo require you to play more intelligently if you only have four bullets for example.

Buy some pants and pull yourself together. You'll be doing HR shite for most of today anyway.
I felt like that before my first job which was also in retail.
There's nothing that will even possibly be beyond your abilities. It'll be easy but dull. Occasionally it'll be busy but it still won't be beyond your grasp. Enjoy it for a while (you probably will) until you start yearning fit more challenge
I agree about the clickers. They really add tension. The other two gameplay elements that have impressed me are the pacing (oh lawd, quiet bits!) and just how visceral the combat is. I've only played Uncharted on the Vita so I'm not sure how it compares, but threat of sudden death makes everything very frantic - it really creates such a tense atmosphere.
The two things I'm not that impressed with so far are some of the human AI (although it might be better on survivor or grounded difficulty) - in that allies often seem to be a bit dumb and enemies seem to like running madly in circles. The other is that I think there's a bit too much shootybang in some of the set pieces. For a game that works so hard at sustaining quasi-realism, it's a bit jarring to
suddenly be shooting 50 odd guys with an unlimited ammo sniper rifle (even if it is cathartic).
Looking forward to the multiplayer. A friend just picked up a Ps4 so we might sink some time into it before Diablo comes out. Will it spoil the single player story? I've done a good job of avoiding spoilers so I don't want to ruin it for myself.
PS YOU CAN DO THIS!
Everyone feels nervous on their first day and everyone has been there- including the people you'll be working with.
Good luck!
