Christmas cleanup time!

The holiday is over so this is the day you take care of laundry and pick up wrapping paper and find places for your new toys

I need to make some food and I think that one of my uncles left a card and present for my Mom so I have to toss that if true, I don't allow her to have contact with her side of the family. Almost made it clear but one snuck through the cracks! lol

And Hammy Davis jr doesn't look like he's got many days left :(

Who else is putting everything back together after the holidays? Any speed bumps along the way?

Nah, they're not good people

And I mean that's coming from me! lol

Mom used to limit her time with them too, the thing is sometimes Mom might be like "oh well maybe I'll just talk" and I don't allow that. Well I don't allow it if she wants to continue to have my help. If she wants to start making all her own meals and driving herself to all her doctor appointments then yeah, she can do that and I'll just never talk to her again, no biggie.

Like she totally made my Christmas this year because she went to a store and I stayed in outside while she walked around, then I saw my aunt come out and I was afraid that my Mom was talking to her sister. Well she came out and I asked her and she said that even if she wanted to talk to her she was too weak from walking around by herself that she wasn't able to say anything. So then I cheered drove home all happy.

I mean the uncle that gave her the gift isn't that bad but he associates with the rest of the family and that's enough.

You either do it my way or you find a way to do it yourself, I'm comfortable with that

Oh snowman, didn't know you paid for delivery. Then you have every right to be angry.

I mean I try to be but if we started talking politics and they had a huge different view I probably wouldn't like them much.Haziqonfire

We've talked politics a number of times in the OT lounge. You and I don't have the same political views. Every chance I've had, I've voted conservative. And I don't even think that man-made climate change is real. Yet you're still fairly friendly :P

Also why is the description of every anime ever exactly the same. (character name) is just an average (boy/girl) in their (#) year of highschool when one day they have a chance encounter with the strange (gender opposite main character) (name) who (saves them/has no memories). Then they use (gimmick, ex: magic, giant robots, swords) to go on an epic quest of world saving proportions and self discovery. Seriously. They are all the same.snowman6251

Well, if you stick to the common, massively popular fare, ya. But not if you watch the really good ones that are not as massively popular.

It's so fun. Really well done. But out of what I've played in 2009 I still like AC2 more :P.

Though I haven't played uncharted 2 and I really wish I could lol.Haziqonfire

It's hard for me to differentiate between quality when it gets to that level of goodness. Unless a game does something that sets itself significantly apart from the pack to the point that it's near perfection (9.5 in my book) then I can't really rank one better than the other.Batman was better in that it didn't have graphical flaws while AC2 had them throughout and continuous pop-in in the foreground and jittering shadows. Batman was also better in that it was a more refined experience all through the game whereas AC2 had some rough patches at some points. But the sheer scale of AC2 was really overwhelming and both did atmosphere incredibly well.

When I was playing AC2, I really felt I was there. It interwove history into the game so masterfully (well... except for the part where it says that the Doge liked the wife of his guard so he attempted to murder the guard leaving him with brain damage so that he had the mental capacity of a child and then got the him to sign a divorce in his reduced mental state so that the Doge could marry her and then later killed him. Yet you end up being the one to kill both the Doge and his guard. So you kinda changed history there...)

It's snowing like crazy here! Driving into work, I almost slid past the parking lot. I wish I could've just kept sliding away..... right back home.

I liked AC2 a lot, those things didn't really bother me. Everything played smoothly. As long as it was smooth the pop-in doesn't matter, they probably had to sacrifice somewhere.

I like everything about AC2. I don't really have any complaints, besides the DLC stuff.

Well that sucks about the PS3 version. I actually thought this time around the PS3 version had an edge (I was watching Reviews on The Run and they were talking about how PS3 games are starting to be better like Arkham, they also showed Assassin's Creed II).

I actually didn't read any reviews on Assassin's Creed II, because I was going to buy it anyway.

I'm not really upset upset about the DLC now that I beat it, its just slightly lame. But I will probably get it when it releases. :)

Ya lately, many multiplats have an edge on PS3, but Bayonetta and AC2 are two recent exceptions. I really don't think there are any excuses at this point. I mean, in the past two years, 4 different PS3 exclusives have dominated the GOTY awards (Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, MGS4, LBP) and this year two exclusive ps3 games (Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2) are being hailed as the best graphics of the generation so far, so really, no excuses. Well, at least there are no serious bugs. What about the other dlc? The extra assassin tombs? I think they came for free in special editions of AC2, but from what i've seen those special editions were only available in europe. anyway, they're going to release those for sale on the store too, I think. Except you just get money at the end of the tomb, not a seal. I really really really loved the assassin tombs. I wish they would make a game that's JUST that kind of experience for the whole game. I dunno, sort of, what would you call it? Prince of Persia mebbe? :D Finding some of those secret areas in the assassin tombs was absolutely brilliant. Hearing the twinkling sound and trying to figure out how to get up to that ledge... wow, reminds me of the old Tomb Raider games.clicketyclick

Well Bayonetta was originally a Xbox 360 exclusive I believe. I think it was a port down to PS3 like last minute or half way through development, but I'm not sure.

I didnt hear about the other DLC. Assassin's Tombs were fun but I probably wont download those, we'll see though :P.

Well it finally got here. At least 3 hours later than usual but whatever. Now to make sure its in one piece.

EDIT: Confirmed to be in one piece. Now all that remains is to be a Wanderer or a Priest. Choices...

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is the best 400MS Points I've ever spent. Such a great game, and the humour still holds up today.

I love Tim Schafer.

Glad to hear you got it finally, snowman. So I'm converting all my music cds to digital in order to make space on my shelves for all my video games. Some very weird discoveries. I find myself asking questions like: "How the hell did I come into possession of a Billy Ray Cyrus album? :Sclicketyclick

At least it wasn't this....

Just try to imagine why Danica Patrick has a job racing cars or is a spokesperson for anything, that'll take your mind off of it
