Don't let them change you, Joe!

Wow, I haven't seen a PC game sold in cardboard for a long time. Last I can remember buying was...Age of Empires II, maybe?

True but it's only going to sit in my shelf so it should be fine, till I have kids of course. SteelBooks are OK as long as you don't intend on removing the contents at any time. (I just have a grudge, seeing as my ME2 disc snapped thanks to one. And I always have to be extra careful with my copy of Uncharted 2.)

Exactly.

Shame the spindles in SteelBooks are absolute shit.

Yeah, that would be known as a boxing term.

Never actually checked Giant Bomb for reviews, maybe I should. I usually use GameTrailers' long ass reviews to get a good idea of the game but it's Eurogamer I usually go to first. They don't pull punches and they tell shit how it is.

Yeah, it's not a casual sort of film. I think it's really interesting and has some great characters and acting though (although, I think it would've been better without the scene showing that home video with the rocking horse).

I assume you mean Falling Down. Great film.

I'm not going to go into the whole dynamic sandbox stuff; because that's not what interests me. They are thoroughly entertaining games but they are also incredibly clumsy with a lot of things. The moral choice stuff is bollocks and the 'thing' with Fable III that so intrigued me was quite flawed; while a lot of the mechanics are lagging far behind other games/developers, not even in complexity but basic stuff like usability. They are a nice change of pace from other games though. I think there is some good writing in there when it's not the main story stuff.

For The Upgrades, I'd let you get away with anything.

Yeah, I've noticed that it says 'PROFILE' where before it said your username and that now works. My notifications popped up underneath the ad. Guess I'll just keep them all blocked now; though I don't like blocking ads on sites I 'like'.

Yeah, they're alright.

Setting our expectations a little high, aren't we?

Kotaku: One step forward, two steps back.

So, now Kotaku has notifications except when you click to show them they're HIDDEN BEHIND A FUCKING ADVERT. And you can't access your profile via clicking anymore (have to remember/have bookmarked the URL).

I think I'd seen the beginning with the ever-wonderful Geoffrey Rush but didn't get to watch the whole thing for some reason. Been meaning to at some point though.

Hey, man, no worries. I'm assuming English isn't your first language, yet you clearly know what you're doing.

I haven't noticed any major problems with your English. Seems perfectly acceptable to me. *as many.

Congratulations! But one tip is: do not space things like you did in that post.

Have you seen Red Cliff? I thought it was OK, but if you enjoy that stuff you might like it.

ExACTly.
