Getting Noticed By Management
So my city had their city wide rummage sale today.
I was able to pick up a PS2 Slim with 25 games and 2 controllers for $35. Didn't come with a memory card however, so I ordered a 128 MB one off Ebay, and component cable as well.
I've never owned a PS2 actually. So this will leave just the N64 as a major console I haven't owned.

Finally bought Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes as a reward for completing the semester. On sale on PSN for $10. The main story mission is short but it's so well-made and fun as hell. Gonna try and 100% complete it and all the side missions and get the trophies. Super intense story-wise too. Phantom Pain can't come quick enough and Kojima is a genius. Shame Konami fucked everything up.

Traded in my PS4 for a Wii U last Thursday. Got Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. It's probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. Having a family changes the way you game as the PS4 since I got it last summer basically collected dust besides being used for netflix and any single player games I might have gotten about 5 minutes game time a day.

If 200cc Mario Kart reminded me of anything today, it was of the potential absolute carnage of Rainbow Road.
A couple of the early corners are almost impossible to get round if you do not pick a very precise line at a very precise speed with a certain type of cart.
Brutal stuff.

Picked up a copy of Injustice: Gods Among Us.
It is a nice looking decent fighter that you can clearly see comes from the same guys that have made the most recent Mortal Kombat games. The story is interesting but suffers from being too short, leaving so much of its subplots rushed or not explored at all. For example, what was the point of taking the Joker to One Earth? He didn't do anything to affect the plot. At least they introduced a plot device that explained humans like Harley, Joker and Batman being able to fight Superman and not be punched into a puddle immediately.
I liked the chapter style set up of the main story as it got you to try out most of the characters, although I will say that my enjoyment was soured in the latter chapters by the fact that so many of the big characters - Superman, Wonder Woman - are fucking useless. Give me Deathstroke over either of them.
The fighting itself could get a little button mashy at times but the interaction with the environments was good, but a fighting game without Fatality-style finishing moves seems to be missing something.

I don't like Injustice because it relies very heavily on the special moves. My friends and I have played it, and nobody ever bothers trying to go for combos because the special moves are just so powerful and more easily usable. I'm sure if we were better at the game we'd find a way to work in the combos, but for amateurs it's easy and safe to stick to the special moves.
Give me Mortal Kombat over Injustice any day. The special moves are still useful, but toned down, but the kombos are what really ties the game together.

You should be able to just use the pro controller. Also.... Witcher 3. If you haven't gotten it yet, you should.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's Supermod!
You can use pro controller, the default is motion but you can change it. I've got it ordered.
I'm enjoying Splatoon tremendously when I'm winning and finding it very frustrating when I'm losing, so I suppose it's doing well there.

Negatives:
Positives:
- The music, particularly the lobby music, is brilliant. DOW. Der-der-der-der-DOW.
- Love the overall aesthetic.
- Very satisfying to play.
Negatives:
- The single player campaign, although I've only played the first three stages, is profoundly unsatisfying.
- The splatter charger, I think it's called, which is basically a sniper rifle, is a great weapon. I've used it to hold chokepoints, splat opponent after opponent and basically back my team up so they win games. However, because I'm not running around like a headless chicken and covering ground, I end up with fuck all points - even when I win.
- A real pet peeve of mine: more experienced players get more perks. Not different perks, which I would be fine with, but get more powerful characters than people just starting out, which seems entirely counterintuitive to me.
- No lobby system for friends.
- I have to quit out of games to change loadouts. During games I can understand - that's a design choice - but you won't let me switch up between rounds? Fucking really, Nintendo?

Microsoft is looking to buying Silent Hills...... Rumor isn't exactly substantiated due to it being an "anonymous source" but for it to now be an Xbox exclusive.... would be a death knell to kojima....

Because he's been a stallwart Sony guy. Can't think of an analogy to represent this but yea..
