No that was when he would walk around like hot stuff because he was banging a bunch of uggos and he routinely told me that they were girls he was dating, and one day his real girlfriend visits and he is not home I tell her out of ignorance that she was not the person I met the other day.


Like his real girlfriend was moderately attractive and definitely a step up from the ones he kept bringing back to the room.

Again a very likpatous story
Well that was annoying, I had to delete something on my USB stick so I could download Tropical Freeze. Question though, when I deleted the other game, a message popped up saying "All data associated with this title will be deleted." Does this mean my save game is gone too? If so that's pretty lovely, I know the Wii allowed you to delete a game but keep the save data, but I couldn't find a way to do that with the Wii U.

This only refers to any DLC/updates you may have downloaded for a game, your saves should still be separate.

If you're going to buy stocks, don't just buy things that you like because it's about as bad as my college roommate not knowing a thing and just dumping all he had into Marvel(years before they were even going to be bought out by Disney) just to say that he owned Stock in Marvel to sound impressive and business-like.


He never bathed, would routinely watch Kevin Smith marathons, and smelled so bad that it made you sick to be around him for any length of time like a dumpster of rotting cheese and feces.

The part about not just buying stocks you like is very true. I don't know about the part about your roommate.

My dad and I have one pet stock at a time and then the rest are real. My current pet stock is Nintendo. I know his used to be Wrigley (because he's a Chicago Cubs fan) but I don't know what it is at the moment. I think one of the car companies. Anyway aside from that we invest in things that are actually likely to make us money.

As for the Nintendo stock I plan to hold it through E3 (because they usually do pretty well at E3 and share prices go up) and then sell in the fall when their first mobile games hit the market. I figure initial public reaction will be positive in the early days no matter what just because they finally followed through on that promise.

I'm trying Wonderful 101 again after having recently come off from playing Bayonetta 1 and 2 and I'm enjoying it more than my first couple attempts to get into it. I'm picking up on all the similarities of how it plays just like any other Platinum action game so combat is flowing a bit more naturally.

That being said, I still have issues. I've mentioned before that it's a goddamn visual overload which often makes it hard to tell what's going on and that's still mostly true for me. People have rebutted saying that the audio cues are really good, but, again, there's so much going on that it's hard for me to pick out that audio among all the explosions and fighting.

I'm also having some troubles with enemy tells. There's these tank enemies that rev up before they charge, but I've had WAY too many instances of them revving up, me blocking, but them just jumping as if they've run into something already without even moving. I'm guessing this is their animation for shaking off my dudes? If so, the animation is crazy similar to their animation for attacking me and it really throws me off. I've had problems with getting hit by Diedough-goos shaking off my guys-- that animation comes out so quickly and suddenly I'm not really sure how to avoid it other than just not being near him at the time. Also, some enemies telegraph their attacks for so long that I often get smacked because I dodged or blocked far too early.

I'm gonna stick it out, at least. I'm still really early in-- I just fought Laambo and had a rousing game of baseball.

I got the chance to play Hyrule Warriors this evening and was blown away by how awesome it is. How come it hasn't gotten more widespread praise? I was sucked in for hours just attacking poo poo, leveling up, unlocking new weapons, etc.

This might sound patronizing but I'm being sincere: you'll get used to it. W101 isn't the hardest Platinum game but it definitely has the steepest learning curve

It honestly has TOO much stuff in it. Legend mode is straight forward, and I felt that it was a good challenge and a good linear progression. Then you complete that, and look at Adventure Mode and I just feel that since I'll never have the time to do it all (or get board by the end) I don't want to attempt it. I guess I'd rather spend money on DLC for more Legend Mode stuff.

Just looking at the time people have put into completing the game at 100% is insane.

You should rent it for a week and then you've pretty much seen everything. Its fun gameplay but it starts to repeat really hard and the combat is really simplistic.

You generally can't. The Mover's Guide that you get from the Post Office has a 10% off coupon in it that is good until 5/30 and stacks with GCU. I grab a few every time I'm in the PO and always get an extra 10% off a single item at Best Buy.
