I thought that was a feature too! Edit: I will never get over the fact that these toys are gone even though they would be the perfect partner to HZD.

It's the fact that there always seem to be ~3 of them that is my issue here.

I'm finding crocodiles most troublesome, largely because there always seems to be several of them at once.

I disagree, I've yet to come across a single aspect that in any way diminishes my experience. My only slight gripe is that going from Nora to Carja is one hell of jump in difficulty so I've burnt through my resources... Stormbirds and Thunderjaws and Tramplers oh my. But that's my fault for running headlong into fights rather than prepping appropriately.

If anyone else has a PSVR, I recommend Psychonauts: Rhombus of Ruin by the way. I'm finding that Adventure games / Escape the Room games work *really* well in VR. Something about being able to look into the room and manipulate stuff... It makes a huge difference.

I like that the inventory screen tells you which items are for what, so anything labelled "Selling for Metal Scraps" and "Trading With Merchants" is a keeper, while anything that is just "Selling for Metal Scraps" you 100% know you won't need again. I also like that you can make a specific crafting task an "Errand" so if you really want that extra ammo capacity you can create a mini-quest of your own for it. This game is just pure excellence in every aspect. I love the world building, the artefacts from the old world, the design of the enemies, it's all great. There's something about combat with a bow and arrow that *feels* skillful, I don't know why, but it's so much more satisfying than a gun.

What's eeeeeven better is that storage is so cheap but Nintendo just *have* to make a profit on hardware rather than loss lead.

Have acquired Nioh and Gravity Rush 2 and purchased Psychonauts: The Rhombus of Ruin... Now to find time to play some of them...

I Expect You To Die. Fantastic puzzle game that really shows off some great VR tricks. Highly recommended.

Dude needs to dial back the enthusiasm some.

I dunno... Ethan, what *is* the rush?

Ken Clarke is a fucking badass who doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks about him. Not a fan of the Tories, but he voted with his conscience, based on the facts at hand and I respect that.

Heh, yeah, the communication worked well and... not so well. Especially since you'd usually all just have guest usernames that were the same gamertag with (1), (2) after it. It was a heck of a lot of fun for Rocket Race though. Also, the social slayer playlists were so casual that it was just a blast in any case. You'd often see groups of people with the Gamertag(1), ...(2) etc. guest players. Ummm, how is communication an issue with local MP? Presumably you know the names of the people you are sitting next to so don't have to refer to Steve as Gamer Tag 1. Dean has it. It's because everyone on-screen looks exactly the same, so you might not know which one Steve is. Of course you know what everyone's called. Oh right, I get it. Fair point. Well, if there's only four of you it won't take too long to remember who is top left etc.

This is what happens when you have a cabinet of exclusively old white dudes. They all look the same, think the same, act the same. Might as well not even bother with them and just become a dictator proper.

Horizon is way more interesting to me than Zelda. New story, new world, new everything. Versus the usual skulltula, epona, slingshot fan service that I have come to associate Zelda with. Zelda will be a polished and mechanically will play well. By all objective measures it will be a great game, but the franchise has totally lost any appeal to me. If I had never played a Zelda I might choose it over Horizon, but Horizon looks so much more interesting for being novel.

Finished FFXV. That was a bit of fun. Now to finish all the side mission bits.

Wait what... Your judiciary is no longer part of the Government? http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/donald-trump-judiciary-judges-muslim-ban-immigration-government-white-house-website-branches-a7552566.html

Two what though?!

Came across an interesting point of view, I was talking to a Californian last night and while at a federal level Trump is a Bad Thing™, he is on that Republican bent of not doing "big government" so places like California will be more self-governing and still be nice, tolerant, progressive places to live. Maybe even more so without the colossal drag effect of the bible belt et al. Of course, some places will hurtle backwards in time, but not all of America will be a disaster zone... Probably.

Agree with FMW, while some of it could be problematic, you really need context to tell if Zelda is just a Damsel in Distress, or a character in her own right.

How long before the "Special Relationship" becomes a "Conditional Free Trade Deal" (which the UK needs way more than the US) with the condition that the Isle of Wight bristles with missiles pointing roughly in the direction of Russia/China? (Though which direction those missiles will fly is obviously a mystery to us all).

Ironically would have the exact opposite effect upon me. I start to worry when I see people carrying heavy artillery. Guns make me nervous regardless of who is carrying them.

This show is not remotely humorous. I've never been to New York, but can confirm that there are not typically armed guards at San Francisco subway entrances. I assume that the armed guard thing is not typical of NY either and is more a "funny" take on how NY is perceived as up tight vs laid back Cleveland...
