I tried so hard to get into Just Cause 2 last month, but hit a point where I realized just how…samey all the missions were, at least the faction missions. I enjoyed traveling around and blowing shit up, but even that starts to get old after a while.

I'm with you, though I prefer having someone else take it if there's time.

I've got a few - a whole load of late-90s IndyCar and NASCAR drivers, my prized Billy Pierce baseball, and a sheet covered in Attitude Era wrestler signatures that a friend found in his attic and gave to me.

I usually go on "normal" but I've got no qualms dialing it down. I've actually been having a lot of fun just sort of wandering around, only occasionally even bothering to do anything (and that's usually when i stumble into a place I don't belong).

Yes, FIFA is a pretty major sports franchise here. I know several people who don't watch the sport at all, but play the everloving shit out of FIFA.

As for the question posed in the article - I usually can't afford more than one system at once, so that makes the decision mighty easy.

Abstaining from voting as I won't do my part to prop up this corrupt system

Got friends visiting this weekend, so probably no gaming…though I picked up NFS: The Run this week for cheap and am still trying to decide if I'm enjoying it or not.

If you suck shit at video games, or don't have the money to buy/play everything that you want, LPs are a godsend.

For me it was mostly location - though I know that DC would obviously get obliterated if there were to be a nuclear war, the southwest just felt like a more believable wasteland.

Nine times out of ten, I prefer watching other people play games, mostly because I'm god-awful at video games that don't involve sports. I've watched my best friend or roommates beat dozens of games but can count on my fingers the number of titles that I've ever felt comfortable enough with to really sink my teeth…

My grandfather was an incurable alcoholic who smoked two packs of unfiltered Marlboros a day, and my dad still lays "at least half" of the blame for his death on his lifelong Viking fandom rather than throat cancer.

If the person I want to win loses, it means the show is in decline

A retread storyline and zero laughs.

This is a pretty overwhelmingly negative review for a B-.

Wow! Ow! Bang! Zap! Smash!

As if my comments (which are never, ever about the food) didn't mark me out as a non-kitchen person enough.

By the end of this episode, I basically hated everybody they gave significant camera time to, except Kristen. Micah is growing to be a weird mix of insufferable and sort of in-on-the-joke hilarious, and I hit the mute button every time Josie is on screen.
