Anyone else playing this right now? Its a pretty solid follow up so far.

Things I like so far:

The combat system is more streamline and a lot lest cluttered. you don't have a massive inventory 10 and 20 of the same upgrade part, its been simplified and that is a good thing. Instead of having to buy the next best weapon 7 times and then go and equip everyone with it, Its done automatically. All you have to do is find/purchase it or the corresponding upgrade. (it can be changed later if you so desire)

Character importing from the first makes the subtle details of the story more rich. Minor decisions and actions you made in the first game are reflected in other scenarios

The graphics are sharp, If you played ME1 in HD you know what I am talking about... no more grainy picture.

Things I dislike so far:

The character level up system has been watered down to almost nothing. instead of 30 bars to fill up across 10 categories, you have 5 across 4 or so.. hopefully this expands later.. The only thing that keeps you from maxing out your attributes so quickly is the fact that the next step costs more points than the last instead of just 1 point.

The reloading/thermal clip system, I liked it when guns overheated instead of running out of ammo... But I guess this was done to water down the insanely overpowered solider class from the first... I'll actually want to play as another class now, and kinda wish I did the first time through.

The cookie cutter missions have been cut out, no longer do you have to drop onto empty planets to survey minerals and hope you find a geth trap to fall into for some sweet XP. The alternative, however isn't much more exciting.. now you just run a scanner along the globe of a planet looking for minerals. You need these minerals to perform upgrades on weapons, armor, and your ship. It wouldn't be so bad if the scanner moved as fast as it did when you weren't holding down the scan button.

So far the game is very enjoyable... i follow up my thoughts when I've completed the game.

They're just saying its broken because they found something at home plate! COVER UP!!

The prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 remake of The Thing, which ShockTillYouDrop.com last reported on back in March (here) will start shooting in a few months in Toronto according to Production Weekly, who posted on their Twitter feed:

"Universal's prequel to John Carpenter's classic thriller "The Thing," is due to begin filming March and continue till June in Toronto."

Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, Jr. from a screenplay by "Battlestar Galactica" exec. producer Ronald D. Moore and Eric Heisserer (The Nightmare on Elm Street remake), the prequel is supposed to be an earlier story about the mutation that attacks the Norwegian base from Carpenter's movie.

Anyone else catch this film? I thought it was pretty awesome. I heard Downy Jr. wasn't impressed how it turned out though.

hopefully they keep the song!

I'll give it a shot, It looks pretty over the top.

Eh, The new feature film was pretty solid, not to sure about new cartoon. I got bored with the first new Transformers cartoon that came out a few years back, and the he-man one sucked too.

Thats all that really needs to be said about mormons... 0_o

Its not just that. The whole "new age of humanity" "humans come together and prevail/survive" is pretty old. I think Independence Day did that better than any of the disaster films.

I think it would be pretty awesome to see an end of the world movie... where the world really ends.

driving through a collapsing hotel is too over the top for my tastes. From some of the other clips I've seen, this movie is going to be flat out silly with amazing special effects, but that's really all it will have going for it.

People will survive, even though everyone is suppose to die. I might wait for this one on DVD. or like the Day after Tomorrow... never watch it all.

After reading that, it sounds like vB is the better option, if they both cost the same, and vB is better overall in functionality (plus you wouldn't have to go through the pain of converting everything) then stick with what works. Although the customer service seems to be a bit crappy.

Its seems like vB knows they are the best, and until someone comes out with something to rival their programing, they wont kick their ass into high gear trying to be more innovative.

Swine Flu is only fatal to young children and old people. Its going around like crazy here. But everyone is back to work within a week or so.

(which needs to like come back DX, those were good times).

Working part time, and taking freshmen courses in college. It sure was good times! X'D I thought I had too much on my hands back then.

I think invision is awesome. I used it for my Station Syndicate experiment and thought it was fantastic. At that time, they had a bad ass radio station feature and you could broadcast yourself from winamp.

I'm all for it, if it makes it easier and cheaper for the site to run for yall. Its never really been about the software, but about the people on the forum right?

Whiskey cures the flu! X'D

X'D when we were kids $50 was like $250-300 cuzz we didn't have a job!

btw SFIV just came out less than 8 months ago, and they already announced Super Street Fighter IV, they added old characters they didnt put in IV with 1 new one. X'D

Mine cost around $35 for a pack of 6. Its recommended to only wear a pair for 2 weeks. I'll stretch mine to 3-4 without a hitch. so 1 box will last me a good couple of months. (following the 2 weeks directions, 8 packs will last you a whole year)

This reminds me of the Call of Duty Series. In the name of making money, Activision has 2 different developers make the game just so one can come out every year. Infinity Ward makes superior games, and rocketed the franchise to success with Modern Warfare (and soon to be MW2). Treyarch makes sub par, mediocre games and really just ripped off MW's engine to make yet another WWII game instead of trying something new with the series like IW did. So fans of the series are stuck with a lesser quality version of the game every other year, tarnishing the series rep. Infinity Ward seems to be trying to rid itself of the CoD name because of it. Modern Warfare 2 was originally suppose to be called just that, but Activision decided to slap CoD on it anyways.

The urge to milk products for money always ruins the quality. I can see most of the yearly updates for vB being stale and pointless... kinda like college books, they update the edition every year just to stop used book sales... all they did was switch a couple chapters around and added some new pics in the book without adding anything new.

I get my eye exams at the wally world vision center, they always give me a trial pair after the exam.

I'll have to check my vision insurance to see what they cover for contacts. I've always been hesitant about using them tho... to put something on my eyeballs! eeee!

My eyes are really sensitive, I cant even stand to open them underwater, so If I can do it, so can you! X'D You cant even feel them on your eyes. Although putting them in for the first time was a challenge.

You can also lock and unlock it with your own finger print. Thats the coolest option ever.
