Oblivion's got me.

I'm looking forward to the next Eldar Scrolls, Oblivion feels really dated to me.

I perpetually live five years in the past and I only started playing it the other day

I can't wait until I get a half decent laptop/computer.

There's literally like a decade of games for me to catch up on.

New Batman game stuff

I'm calling it now, it won't be very good. The main reason that Arkham Asylum was good was because no-one was expecting it to be.

The main reason that Arkham Asylum was good is because it's a fucking brilliant, brilliant game. Your reason makes no sense.

Getting a new laptop and the Steam Summer sale happening a few weeks later was a very convenient coincidence

PARACHUTE FUCKING GUN FIGHTS

I have started playing League of Legends. It seems that I cannot tank.

That game is awesome.

And tanking is a fine art that comes with no thanks and no one caring. Just play a carry and run around kill stealing.

Btw. League of Legends is awesome when drunk.

Because people are just getting angry and you're just like "lulz who cares"

I'm starting to dislike LA Noire now. It's so vague and inconsistent. 'Ah, his eyes aren't moving, he's obviously telling the truth... *wrong answer chimes* AAAAAAAAARHHHHHHHHHDIE!'

It's got that Heavy Rain thing too where it tries to sum up an entirely new direction of dialogue and implications with only one word that is actually that relevent. Lie is straightforward. Truth is too, though when does anyone ever tell the truth in this game? But Doubt makes no sense half the time. It should be 'Elaborate' in most cases, or 'Persuade' or something.

Pretty much only if they're a female witness.

Men are all stealing wallets off the body or are smug pricks whereas women are mainly stay at home wives who are dazzled by the bright lights.

I can't remember much from heavy rain, but i remember finding it extremely tedious, and i hear LA Noire is a similar experience.

Heavy Rain is great if you don't think of it as a game, it's a pretty good film.

I would say 'interactive' film, but all of the 'choices' pretty much boil down to 'did you fuck up?'. If you're playing well (which isn't hard) then it's going to be the same every time.

[Dangles]

To be honest i don't really remember much from the game, and i have no idea why

Heavy Rain sounds like an "Interactive fuck up" no matter what you do you will fuck up.

speaking of heavy rain I think i'll leave this here

Just Cause 2

worth getting ?

The Jason button was the best part of the game.

Which isn't a knock at the game, it's a compliment of having a dedicated Shout Child's Name button. It was the saving feature of Shattered Memories.

EDIT: Yeah the first one was pretty fun but strangely underwhelming. The second one is just a general improvement I've heard.

I'm also curious about this, except I already bought in on the Steam sale for £3.50 but haven't installed it yet.

Do you like fun and making shit blow up?

If so, buy it.

Grappling hooks, parachutes, blowing shit up being part of completing the game.

It's just genuinely ridiculously fun.
