So finally looked up on this. It's very saturated, which I think does hurt the visuals a bit. I think the "build n battle" thing is pretty suite, but it could possibly become a tad complex, I guess it does encourage you to be a foot soldier. Certianly seems to be it's own thing, and if there's a decent amount of guys grabbing it it should be worth grabbing. btw anyone have Warhawk? My housemate has it, could be worth a spin with a few of us.

Yeah, once you pick up a few signs and get the combat down to pat you get into the groove, figure out how to advance time, do potions, the flow of conversations. It's very different to other RPGs. (not helped by the fact most RPG's of late are made by one of 3 companies) so I think getting into the groove means getting rid of the shackles of the other games. Primarily the convo flow of Bioware games. As for Wticher 2 I've only given it's a short spin. You can easily spot it's on a new engine The combat though, I'm not too keen on. I kinda liked the first games, it had it's grace n simplicity. I didn't play Witcher for the combat. But Witcher 2 is all action-orientated in the combat and you're having to dodge n parry n be aiming at the right guy n everything. I'm not too keen. MAybe I'll get used to it. Still got to beat the first Witcher before that though.

A parmesan, or Parmo for short, is dish from the town I'm currently in*, you can get it from various take aways in the north east, but afaik it's not made it's way down south much. (Some chefs on TV shows** will cook it and have to explain what they've just made ) It's based of an Italian dish. It's chicken fillet(s) flattened and coated in bread crumbs, this is then fried to make it all crispy, put in a pizza tin (or just left on a flat thingy) coated in white sauce then topped with cheddar cheese and stuck in a pizza oven. Some takeaways even do them like pizzas so you can get toppings too. They come in two portion sizes, a Half (above) or a full (which I know of no one who has managed to finish one), both with a side of chips and salad. Half is just smaller, not one cut in two. Wikipedia suggest that a full parmo is roughly 2,600 cal (with chips). more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmo You could probably make one at home, control the portion size and what goes in it. It's a pretty simple dish. Could probably even use actual parmesan cheese *made by an American mind **'saturday cooks', 'ready,steady, cook' etc. Dunno if you guys have anything like that? Generally a professional chef with public/celeb making something.

Most places only tend to put like 6 slithers of onion in a side and a ton of cabbage.

Not had one for years and since I may soon be gone thought I'd have one for a final time. A parmo. The donner was what Ben got, he swapped some for some parmo. Was pretty nice donner, I'd hope so given the takeaway was "The Kebab Centre". Parmo was nice too.crunchy, gooey, chickeny. Nice side too, decent amount of onion.

See we just use them to scare the catholics. (and the zombies)

RPS comment guy puts it well. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/05/17/the-moving-dead-dead-island-trailer/

Rise from the grave!!

bingo. Also Mass Effect 1 on PC wasn't made by Bioware.

Just moving your post into the currently existing thread

I quit out of making the Japanese account then signed in on a normal english one, noting the steps along the way, then went back n used those as what goes where. As long as the PSNID, password and email section are fine you're sorted.

Instillation went smoothly. Dunno so far, got folks coming round to check out the house so don't want to be mid-game when they arrive. They're due 2-3 (aka this hour) if folks want then at about 3:30/4:00PM GMT I can do a live stream of the starting half-hour-1hr?

Yeah, they said Europe was a bit fiddly with that.

I've yet to install it but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNnyTPGrx9c now I've seen it in action I'm definitely going to have a shot with this myself. also

...meanwhile in an Animus session...http://i.imgur.com/bzGGA.jpg rather than a 3rd post: https://www.dropbox....er%202?h=85e0d1 Coin is metal, has a Cthulu design on the back. It smells great, the box is about 2" deep (I measured) The QR code for trailer is a nice touch on the packaging. The pamphlet has a fuax wax seal, didn't feel it was required to take another picture of. All in all pretty sweet. Oh yeah paper craft number 2 that I got was Dandelion. I'll post an image when done.

Not good.

YAAAAYYYY

Patches have become DLC. Back in ye olden days you'd get a patch and sometimes you'd have a bunch of new content too. Witcher did it in it's update to Enhanced Edition. Civ V is doing it with an upcoming patch. TF2 has being doing it since launch. It's just much rare these days and stuff that used to be patches have become DLC. Hence me typing "patches/DLC"

HAHAHA. I knew InFamous, a game with a sequel coming, and LBP, a game with a Move enabled sequel out, would be up. Shame I own both already. Wipeout I guess, and then...Dead Nation looks fun. I guess I could use my EU account for Ratchet n Clank and my US account for Dead Nation. (Own SSHD too, it's pretty fun) Anyone know what my Japanese account can get? (77million my arse) And yeah get InFamous, it's pretty fun, and it's fucking free. What sucks is when you go to replay as evil (or good, up to you*) and you're missing all your high level abilities like slowing time, sniping and just opening up the sky and emptying lighting all over everyone. *just be aware your first choice is the only choice. Deviate from the path of good or evil and you lose access to abilities.

Folks are wanting a Stream? I can potentially jerry rig one up for the forum on the Gamestream. I'll have to stick it in Windowed 720p or so though. By the time it's like morning for you it's 3PM for me so it'll be well on it's way delivered and installed. I might even do an unboxing. I've never done one before, it'll be fun

Just to get people in the mood.
