Just 100%-ed Assassin's Creed 2. Did not do all the side missions but got every achievement, my first time doing that. Cannot wait to trade it in and get Brotherhood.

No side missions = no 100%. =P

Tell that to the achievements!

HEY, Achievements! No side quests means no 100%!

Good jorb.

So, now that Team Fortress 2 has gone Free to Play, has anybody here made the plunge? I've been playing for about a year or so, but I'm not particularly good at it.

Can someone quote my post and tell Nanner that I'm not playing TF2 until he plays BioShock and I stop IGNORing him?

Thanks

Or Tetris. But beware, loss of sleep is not unheard of.*

*When I first got my Gameboy, I played Tetris so much, I couldn't fall asleep because all I saw were falling pieces...

Traded in AC2 and LEGO Star Wars and got AC:Bro and the guide to Zelda 3D. Now the wife is going to finally finish Red Dead Redeption so we can trade it in (we have 40% more coupons for Gamestop).

While we were at Gamestop, my wife decided she wants Skyrim (or "The New Oblivion", as she calls it). So we preordered that (which gives us a map of Skyrim) and it's guide. Then the guy said that Oblivion is getting re-released next week and you get $10 off Skyrim if you preorder it. So we're getting that.

I got to preorder AC:Revelations, which gives me a Vlad the Impaler mission, but no Penny Arcade poster.

Now I'm watching my wife play RDR. I'm going to miss it...

SKYRIM for shitty console or MOD CENTRAL for PC?

Shitty console. I don't want to get her started on mods. I have a hard enough time getting her to stop playing as it is! We don't have a computer to run it, anyway. Why build a computer to play a game when you can have a game built for your console?

I'm building a computer so it can play this game and games from the next few years without any problems. Yes could even choose which settings you want on computer.

Console is too easy. Computer games you can make it look however you want. Unless if you have shit pre-built or stupidly fucking idiotic Apple computer.

I know.  I kinda hate how I can just put a disc in my console and play a game without spending hours on hours reconfiguring it and getting all new drivers for each of my components.  I only have so many hours to play each week- it's kind of boring that I'm not spending any of those hours fighting my computer.  I mean, I like that consoles make it easy... but they're just too easy.  You know what I mean?

I gotta say it feels good to be back on Rapture, rescuing little sisters and taking down those 'bloody sploicers' [sic]

Those big sisters are challenge though - they always knock me on my ass.

C3PX!  I just bought that Omega + Lil Sis + Bunny Mask from TRU for $22.50.  Their clearnance stuff is 25% off this weekend.

Cool! That is tempting! Wish the mask was still intact enough to cover your entire face, I love the whole wrecked look, obviously it wouldn't really be a splicer mask without it, but it is a little too wrecked.

I think I might have already said this earlier, but: I completely agree.  I'd prefer an "antiqued" one above all, maybe a few cracks in the paint.  But this thing is pretty wrecked.

I also really like the red little sister with the baseball head Alpha that it comes with, and you can always use another little sister, but I am not a big fan of the look of the Alpha/Omega series Big Daddies  

I agree here as well.  'Tis a shame that this is my first big daddy figure.  At the very least it could have been Delta instead of Omega...

Mrs. xhonzi and I celebrated our annivesary this weekend and did a little antique shopping.  I saw an old US Navy diving helmet:

That I really wish I'd had the cash for.  Or the room in the basement.  Then my big daddy collection would have been complete.

Mark Meltzer?

I eagerly await the release of this game...

Whoah, I totally confused Omega with Sigma!  How in the world did that happen??!?!  The side of the box talked about Lamb sending Omega against Delta as her final attack... which, since I was thinking of Minerva Den's Sigma, really had me scratching my head.

Wikipedia to the rescue!
