  1. I'm not one to be considered a reader but I think I'll eventually pick up the books and read them.

    You really won't regret it. In fact, you'll appreciate the show even more.

    Does HBO show any behind-the-scenes footage or making-of vignettes?

    The special features that stood out for me on the rented discs included Jason Momoa and others in a segment talking about the creation of the Dothraki language, and learning to speak it.

    They also had a segment about the title sequence, which in my humble opinion is breathtaking.

  2. Agreed, if you like the show and haven't read the books yet, it's absolutely worth your time.

    It was SOOO difficult not to let anything slip by accident, but I've been an angel about not mentioning a single spoiler to my man when we rented season one - he hasn't read the books, and probably won't. It's almost strange going back to the start of the story, when the characters' journeys have progressed so far past what's aired to date on the series.


  3. I always rig my helicopter with a sticky bomb then land it near players and run off as if I'm just stopping to pick weapons up. Works great in the airport car park because you always get 2 or 3 piling in then when they're high up detonate it. :P

    That's hilarious.

    We should get the deathmatches going again...then go blow people up.


  4. The Vita is the first handheld I've seen that looks intriguing enough to consider buying...I handled one briefly at the gaming store (don't worry, selpy, I washed my hands promptly afterwards)...tried the tennis demo and Uncharted was on there too. I doubt I'll get at Vita, but wouldn't be surprised if the touch functionality is integrated into next-gen controllers.

    I'm being a trophy whore on this one, currently playing through on Crushing on my way to 100%. The only other game I've gotten platinum on was AC Brotherhood, fortunately this UC3 doesn't have so many multiplayer trophies.


  5. The 'gta-' half is a play on words, since at the time I picked the name I was living in Toronto (known as the GTA)...and played Grand Theft Auto games exclusively for the first few years after getting my PS2.

    The '-grl' half is accurate, as well as symmetrical and alliterative to the first half. Plus it sounds more butch than 'girl'; I'm not really a Hello Kitty pink ribbons and pigtails kind of grl.


  6. I rarely used bombs or poison blade, unless I had to. Or I used the poison blade to poision guards and watch them swing their weapons, while throwing coins at them so random civilians get chopped up.

    There is an achievement for this in Assassin's Creed Revelations. Also one for poisoning ten guards at a time - aptly called "Mosh Pit".

    I've been replaying the missions lately for fun, and if I get 100% on a replay, all the better...and have made a point of trying all the different bombs along the way.

    I've enjoyed replaying the missions too. I keep 50%ing most missions the first time because I fuck up something simple instead of using a well placed bomb, or couple of bombs. Cherry bomb followed by a Splinter Bomb can clear a room of 5-10 enemies.

    "Mosh Pit" was fun to get, luring enough guards in one area first, then dumping poison bombs or darts at them.


  7. I have a PS2 and PS3, plus older PC games like Diablo and the Myst series, and a tablet.

    My console history goes something like this:

    Commodore 64 (sister's)

    Megadrive (+ 32X)

    That made me lol, when I think about the history - the Commodore 64 at home, playing Leisure Suit Larry at my cousin's, hours and so many quarters at the arcade, playing NES at friends' house, swiping my nephew's Gameboy, hours of Sega at an old boyfriend's - I've been playing video games all my life in one form or another.
