I've been playing Lord of the Rings War of the North the past week+. It's not entirely what I expected, still mostly action orientated but more RPG elements to it than I expected. Pretty linear though. Making me hanker after "The Third Age" (Which my brother sold on :/) The main issue it has is it's very much built for multiplayer co-op, it seems they forgot to work on making it work as a SP game. Which means it's a PITA to distribute inventory (only you pick inventory up) and control what the other dudes are doing, levelling up, wearing etc. Once you pass on inventory to the other two you have no more control over it, whether it's equipped or what happens to old unused items. Meaning atm I'm just keeping hold of it all and selling what I don't make use of to buy better gear for myself. The genral item inventory (so storing vendor loot, alchemy ingredients, random potions) doesn't have much room, and while you can use left n right on d-pad to quickly use health n mana(power) potions, you have to open the inventory menu to access any other potions, meaning mid fight you tend to forget about them. Oh the Settings menu only has one option, which would be Settings, then in that you have the stuff like sound, difficulty, gamma etc. It does look fairly pretty though, some nice touches to the environment here n there. The VA for the in-film characters rarely sound like the actor counterpart, unsure if that's on purpose or not (see my bit about Third Age below). Story is cool too, it pretty much steers away from the plot of the film, just concentrating on..well the war in the north. I'm about to meet Radaghast, and given when this game was made I'm unsure if they'll have done their own, or known to use a Sylvester McCoy-alike. Oh and I present the final boss of The Third Age For those who haven't played it, it's basically an EA made RPG that pretty much skins the Final Fantasy X mechanics with LOTR inspired characters (They had no film rights so couldn't use acted characters from the film, so it's all knock-offs). It was pretty fun, unless you disliked FFX gameplay. Oh it also has a thing where at end of each chapter you can go back n play the Bosses of that chapter fighting against your dudes. You win the 5 or so fights in a row and you unlock neat weapons n gear, which tend to be pretty OP for the period of the game you unlock them at. Oh the bit in Moria sucks, I can't remember specifics just that I hated it, I think there was like a witch doctor orc that could fuck you up at that point of the game. On the netbook I'm occasionally playing Cthulhu Saves the World. And on the phone random phone games (recent one is Gyro) and FFIX on the emulator, but that's more of an experimental thing that doing it seriously.

So you may have heard that last week a certain blog had heard from several sources that FF Versus XIII had been canned. http://kotaku.com/5927645/rumor-final-fantasy-versus-xiii-is-dead Well.... http://www.develop-online.net/news/41510/Final-Fantasy-Versus-XIII-development-continues According to Wada it's still going on.

Stacking for myself, and Chronixal got me the "You Monster" DLC for Defense Grid.

"Queen hails Olympic 'dedication' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18951304"

Surely the "because" part matters? Seems like a purposeful misreading of the "spirit" of the amendment in order to be "yeehah, we get to own guns".

But the militia part is definitely written down. It just seems really odd they'd create a right to bear arms, but before getting yo that part bring up stuff about well regulated militia.

I wouldn't really call 2nd ammendment "symbolic". The queen is sysymbolic, the bullets that killed or wounded the folks of Aurora not so much. The only part symbolic is the right to form a militia cos good luck taking on the largest army in the world. As far as reading the law goes, maybe it was written wrong? The right to form an armed militia makes more sense than enshrining the right to own a specific item. It'd be like the right to own a car or something.

Oh Spork my condolences. Anywho: UK TV license payers there's a pretty sweet Olympics app from BBC. http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:uk.co.bbc.sos2012uk Next topic: Sooo... G4S eh?

I wonder what the market value for gag games is. That n train sim seem to have done alright. I got it for xmas, bumped it off onto my little sister.

I c an get free cinema tickets from tesco but I don't really have the funds to get into boro My mum doesn't care for batman so I can't cajole her to come along. Edit: I'm Batman

I got masquerade too. And bulletstorm for duke.

Hobbit movie is coming out and the superman theme would be too obvious?

For some reason forum isn't liking chrome mobile (or chrome mobile doesn't like the forum, not really tested with other browsers to check). Mainly a case of it not parsing posts when I submit them for some reason. P.s could you try re-embedding it for me?

Meant to add to this. Not mine but a quick doodle my gran did on my phone: twitpic.com/a9cro6 (which I can't embed cos of silly random link stuff)

www.droid-life.com/2012/07/19/ouya-gaming-console-receives-first-exclusive-game-commitment-human-element-from-robotoki/ It has got itself an exclusive from robot bowlings new studio. Not a bad haul.

So randomly found out cat milk is a thing just...well it's made by whiskas. yfrog.com/hwi8kmej (Grandparents hadn't heard of it as a term for condensed/evaporated milk either)

The Metro theme however debuts on Windows 8, and was first shown off a few weeks ago. There is a rather large difference between this and this And you know it. Had Office 2013 been made to run on this You'd have some sort of point, except it's running on the desktop side of things, which is why it's able to come to Windows 7 anyway. But at least my suspicions are confirmed that you're purposefully ignoring that small fact in order to maintian an argument.

Thing is though you're not a criminal until you use that gun to kill someone. A perfectly normal person with at most a bit of a mark on his school report walks into a perfectly normal and (due to 2nd amendment) legal gun store and purchases a device constructed for the aim of killing people. This person then walks into a cinema and shoots and kills a punch of people. Now he is a criminal. The reason criminals can find it so easy to find these guns is because the law means there's plenty of legal places set up to go and buy them. Over here (and most other countries with restrictive gun laws) you can't just pop into Asda and stock up on ammo like you can in the US. Yes people that absolutely do want a gun will potentially be able to get their hands on them. But people that are yet-to-be-criminals it's a bit harder to actually cross into the line of becoming a criminal if they can't pick up and own a gun so easily. The chances of me going and shooting people when angry is next to zero given I don't have a gun in my bedside table. I'd have to really go out of my way to get hold of a gun, and 99% of the time it's really not worth it. In fact it's the same with the bomb point too, since both require much more effort than just having the gun in the first place. @TME: Surely removing the amendment would be on par in difficulty with the process that made it in the first place?
