Importing saved games into sequels and seeing your decisions reflected in-game can be downright lovely, but it's a right royal pain in the rump if you lose those saves. I'm now looking at replaying all of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 so I can see my decisions reflected in 3, and another go around The Witcher in preparation for the snazzy extra content coming to The Witcher 2.
I know there are sites which specialise in saves for these twisty-turny plots, to save idiots like me the trouble, but will they have made all the decisions I did? Imagine how awful it'd be to find out they made one different decision, so one inconsequential NPC had one different line of dialogue! I'm an idiot.
I unsubscribed from every friend and page. My newsfeed is now empty and I can freely use Facebook as an IM client without being distracted by things I don't care about.

I found my 1989 Gameboy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nintendo_Gameboy.jpg) while cleaning up my place last weekend, and despite selling off basically all my unused consoles (and DS) I kept this. There are so many games I didn't play on this system because I was like 8 when I bought it.
What are best games? Off the top of my head I want to find:
1. Zelda: Link's Awakening
2. Tetris
3. ???

Greenways are designated streets — often parallel to arterials but much quieter — that offer everyone from cyclists to pedestrians and people in wheelchairs safer ways to get around without having to drive.
Residents say they see greenways as a way to deter cars and get more people out in their neighborhoods.
so we're gonna funnel the increasing amount of cars onto a decreasing amount of roadways. we should probably reduce a lane from I-5, 520, I-90 for greenway access as well. what could possibly go wrong? I'm sure all 15 bikers per day would be thrilled.

This beta has demonstrated to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that I'll be hopelessly addicted to this game. Probably not to the extent that I was/am addicted to WoW, but... I think I'll be enjoying myself more throughout the duration.
My one hang-up is the limited skill selection, just like everyone else has complained about. What's up with that shit, damn! They've got a lot of neat stuff in there; let me use it!
Anyway, my BattleTag thing is DasKrom.

I definitely hit a point where I debated selling it. I'd start quest after quest only to get my ass reamed in every one ... and it was starting to get frustrating / not fun. I think one thing they could do to improve the game a little would be to give some indication of the difficulty/level of a quest.
I eventually realized I was venturing a bit too far afield and when I did quests closer to the beginning it got easier and I was able to make progress ... and it's getting fun again as my character gets stronger. Some quests near home are still super hard, like The Blessings of Nature ... those witches destroy me.
I'm only level 16 right now ... which I think is low for that amount of time playing ... but I haven't grinded once and have spent a lot of time exploring and getting my ass handed to me.
Anyways, tl;dr ... I liked it, hated it, and like it again!

It's a racing game with a craft similar to Wipeout but there are no turns as such, you're on the inside (or outside) of tubes having to avoid obstacles which sounds boring but the art direction, while simple, is excellently done, the electro soundtrack is great, and the controls are fantastic. -- they really nailed the sensitivity and it feels great. There's a nice upgrade system to add a bit of depth. And it's free for the ad-supported version!
Only thing I'd really like to see added is the ability to use your own music and sync up with it, ala Audiosurf.

I am struggling understanding the mindset of different regions of IT management. All the companies I have worked for have been born and bread in the USA. The mentality was you had controlled access but were given some latitude and discretion.Change Controls, Business Case, and Approvals were needed before any implementation, but you had tools to fix problems during an emergency.
I am now working for company that only 2 people in the entire IT Department have full admin access and a outsourced helpdesk staff that has very limited access.
Is this a European/Global IT approach in which I have never been exposed so I should just STFU?
Has anyone ever heard of an IT Director that had no access to any systems and role was only to put help tickets into a queue?

It sounds like the hardware and games are completely competent but the one things these reviews can't show is the all the pricing and technology management decisions Sony's made to put into it, and the big thing that is keeping me from getting it for at least a few months.
