I have a crush on you. Peter Gabriel loves the internet Sunset on Mars Some background on Yahoo vs MS Blu-Ray awareness...

I have a crush on you.

As for the the videogame news around these parts for today:

Lastly, it looks like we finally have the two major parties picking our next

presidential candidates. Given how Clinton liked to use videogames as a talking point and policy backer,

it's probably fortunate for gamers things went the other way, at least in that regard.

        I knew that that would send me into a rage, so I called instead.

        And I still got pissed because the dumb fucker cried panic that I had not pre-ordered and that I had to come in THIS VERY DAY to pre-order, because somehow that would make a difference in the number of copies already in the store.

      I checked Best Buy, Gamestop, Wal-Mart (shudder), and Target. Nope.

        Best Buy, Gamestop, Game Rush & Target- I wound up buying neon yellow leggings at Target instead out of hatred for the world.

                Holy shit. Apparently they do. I've had one near me for the last year and instead I truck it to some stores miles upon miles away.

      Played the hell out of it yesterday, it's incredible. I would've loved some slomo zoomins for the fatalities though lol
      It's challenging but not in a brutal way, except the 2nd boss fight which took me like an hour. But then I was not prepared at all for that and had no old savegames (hint: disable automatic saves, since they use only one autosave slot.)
      Camera doesn't annoy me as much as I thought in the first 20 minutes. It felt as if it got better over time (more open space and use of right trigger helps a ton.)

      PS: I think dogs with katanas are hilarious.
