Talking bollocks: Wednesday, July 18 – the finally sunny edition

Just Cause 2 is currently £3.49 in a Steam flash sale. The unofficial multiplayer mod looks bonkers fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtOwWoOiggc – http://store.steampowered.com/app/8190/

Still haven’t played that, either. Unrelated, but I’m getting a bunch of 3DS games through at the moment. Kingdom Hearts, Pokemon Conquest, etc. And XL is *so* much better than the original.

It ain’t sunny where I am

Bought Metro 2033 yesterday when it was on sale, I hope it’s good. Need to get round to playing it but Civ V is stopping me from playing it.

28 degrees here today! Good for the plants.

I wonder if Nintendo will see a significant spike in sales after the 3DS XL’s release? It really does seem to have captured quite a few peoples imaginations.

arrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh

Sorry just had to get that out my system.

I’m about a third of way through Metro 2033, spent far too long trying to tweak my settings rather than playing it, I know Pat loves it though. I do love me some Civ V.

Ain’t nothing but clouds where I am T_T S’posed to be storms but I don’t think so.

P.S. – Steam Summer Sale, too good.

P.P.S. – Really liking these threads. Good idea!

@8 Civ V is wonderful, I wished they fixed the MP so I could play with more than two friends on it. It’s one of those games that makes hours feel like minutes.

2033′s awesome, yeah. Definitely worth it in a sale. I only paid a few quid for it, I think. There’s loads wrong with it, but it’s very different.

XL’s a bit of a revelation, really. I barely touched the original 3DS because the screen was so small, but it makes so much more sense like this.

It was sunny here yesterday, today, rain

I just bought Anomaly Warzone Earth on Steam, reverse tower defence? I had to see.

How is the XL so much better? I just imagine it being more unwieldy really… or does it cater to us men who have giant man hands instead of delicate spindles they seem to be designed for…

Soooo….. you come here often?

Swedish summer involves rain and 15 degrees most of the time.

Never was a fan of Metro 2033, even though I read the books. The lore is quite interesting though.

The internet speed on my phone is nearly double what I get from BT in my house. *firstworldproblems*

@13 I’m writing up some impressions now. The touch-screen’s still a bit pony, but it seems to be a lot more comfortable for real men. It’s only about an inch shorter than Vita.

@14 I’m here a great deal.

@12 – I just took a look at that! I think I might be buying it.

Though to be honest, the XL not having a second circle stick on the unit is a blocker for me. I just want to play monster hunter without the claw.

Monster Hunter’ll come to Vita eventually, no doubt.

Its pissing with rain here. The Amazon delivery person left my box of books at the house across the road, got wet.

It better clear up here as I’m meant to be going out for lunch today.

Bombay Burger at the Slug & Lettuce. Onion Bhaji and Madras Sauce on a burger. Best burger ever!

I got a new kickass ZoE iPhone cover. Jelly? Oh ja, you jelly.

Monster Hunter needs to stop fucking around and come to PS3 proper tbh.

@24 That is beautiful, I wish Kojima’s MGS cases were available to purchase.

@Johnny man, thats handsome. In your hands and than some. See what I did there

It’s almost always sunny here.

45 degrees C, right now.

Mehh…bought Dead Rising: Chop till you drop from Jersey and the German customs authorities confiscated the game because its on List B (banned). The first time they controlled something. Fooooooook. Nevermind…next time I will order it from England.

At least I got the first Season of Twilight Zone without problems xD

It’s always sunny in Philadelphia.

My wife’s gone with my daughter for a picnic to the beach. I’m writing about video games.

Has anybody tried Cities XL 2012 yet? I’ve been thinking about getting that. Also, GTA Collection is unbelievably cheap.

@Pat
you are not the only one here, go with them, have fun sir!
Let Brenna, Steph and the others do the work.

@KK I wish! Loads to do. Gamescom soon.

Curry burger was a great success. Got drizzled on on the way back to the office but used the weather as an excuse to drop into GAME and try out the 3DS XL. Very tempted to trade my current model in…

Btw, is it possible to make a contest after the Gamescom? Would like to win some swag and merchandise^^

Total relief for me today, new tenants pulled out of our flat last week so was staring down the barrel of trying to find horrendous mortgage payments. Shouted at the estate agents who had more viewings and woke to an email saying we have new tenants ready to go at an even larger rent. Hurray…

Also means I can now go on my trip to the W Coast to meet the missus after her work event in SF for a few days hols.

Anyone else got any hols planned?
