  1. Never having played Uncharted at all, I recently completed the stories for all 3 in the HD Collection, purchased at my local trade-in store for $20.  It was a very pleasant distraction from almost exclusively playing GTA and Skyrim earlier in the year.  I was really impressed with the trilogy overall, but I feel I would have appreciated it more had I spaced out the titles.

     

    I picked up Uncharted 4 this past weekend at Gamestop for 8 bucks (seriously?).  Looking forward to playing that as soon as I get around to it. 

     

    Then, eventually, The Lost Legacy.

  2. I don't have much of an opinion on the Yankees, but I can't help but side with Verlander.  Watching him command WS game(s) would be something to see.

    Maddon's bullpen calls have been shit, not sure why we brought back Hector Rondon, or why Lackey went in late last night instead of Wade Davis.

    If Bryant and Rizzo can get their bats going, we should see this thing turn around at Wrigley, I hope.


  3. Doing some doctor hunting myself, as I need to find a primary care physician in my new place of residence. I recently participated in a wellness screening through my place of employment where they ran some blood tests.

     

    My (TC) total cholesterol is desirable, but my HDL (good cholesterol) is at 27 mg/dL, which is apparently very low. I read that improving diet and exercise can help raise this number, but I get conflicting results on whether or not it truly helps. I'm not all greens and lean meat, but I don't eat like shit either.  I've been a proponent of the concept that anything is fair game, in moderation. I guess now that I'm pushing 30, that's not really the case anymore. Fuck.


  4. I was given Fallout 4 as a gift over a year ago and I have yet to play it properly.  I usually overthink it when it comes to massive open-world games, especially with a lot of crafting.  I found myself picking up the Uncharted Collection, replayed through TLOU+DLC, and plan on picking up Uncharted 4 soon.  Not sure if I'll ever get around to immersing myself in the 4 wasteland.

     

    Fallout 3/NV/Skyrim were better experiences for me - I don't remember being overwhelmed at all with those titles.


  5. That sounds like a great idea.  I am only familiar with Sonic 2, but it is VERY familiar.  I also played the fuck out of Eternal Champions, Mickey Mania, The Lion King, Earthworm Jim, and Road Rash.

     

    I also had Road Rash 3D for PS1 and that soundtrack was bitchin'.

    This was always one of my favorite topics to post in - so glad I decided to expand my collection by purchasing all the older consoles I enjoyed as a youth.

    Now that my offspring is beginning to react to objects/lights around her, I can't begin to describe how much my anticipation/excitement is growing to introduce her to Super Mario Brothers, Sonic 2, and other various platformers for the first time.

     

    My most recent purchase:

    The wireless controllers were a big sell for me on this one, plus the 80 games that come pre-loaded to the hard drive. :)

    Can I ask your advice?  There is a civil war going on but I have no idea why... Are the Nords just haters or is the Imperial Army to blame?  Why would the Stormcloaks want a Breton fighting for them if they hate us...  Any useful information would be appreciated as I can't get an unbiased opinion round these parts...

     

    I always fight for the Empire, unless I play a Nord.  While both sides are equally shitty, I could never get past fighting along side a race that hates all but their own.


  8. After escaping Helgen, I looked at the war as an opportunity to become a great warrior, and find my purpose in this world. As a Wood Elf who is skilled in archery and stealth, I moved quickly through the ranks of the Imperial Army. General Tullius, while wary of my demeanor, always boasted of my accomplishments as a soldier. It was a long war...a difficult war. Although, Ulfric has fallen, conflict still remains between both sides.

     

    After leaving Solitude for good, I still search for my purpose. I really wish someone would do something about these vampires...

     

    I received a letter from the Jarl of Falkreath. I wasn't sure what he wanted of me, but I was ready for a change of scenery. Come to find out that all he really needed was for me to clean up petty grievances around the area. It's nice here though. I'm Thane of Falkreath, now. I've built a house on a flat patch of land just outside the village, and I'm getting burned out with all this decorating. I'm afraid I am a bit discouraged that I seem to have no sense of direction, no purpose. The Dragonborn book I picked up in Helgen has been burning a hole in my pocket for some time now. Maybe it's time I do some reading on these dragons.
