Heya, I’ve been enjoying the stuff on the site recently, just hadn’t had much to add to it.

I agree with what you’re saying re: Kinect pricing, I’m looking forward to doing two person animal petting with my son… heh, I’ve got four cats and I want to buy a $150 peripheral to do it virtually.

Seriously though, Kinectimals looks amazing.

I’m looking forward to the future iteration of the site. Or we could just follow each other on twitter…

Speaking of, I’m looking forward to Clint making a cameo soon.

besides, while there is shit like Just Cause 2 getting positive press, there’s a need for this site. Damn web time out ruined my scathing review and have to start again…

I’m very interested in the upcoming iPad podcats (padcats?). I can’t find any reasons to use an iPad, and I really like apple. Maybe your testimonials will help me to appreciate it and understand its potential.

It’s got a dark and gritty feel, which isn’t nearly as much fun as the bright and clean original.

That can considered subjective…

Also there’s at least one annoying animation glitch: when jumping up to grab a window sill or ledge you think ‘damn I didn’t make it’ when suddenly the hands snap up a few pixels to grab the ledge. I also don’t find the ‘grip-finding’ routines to be as friendly as the original. It took me about 5 minutes once to jump on to some head-level horizontal pipes, because my hands only sometimes found a grip.

I’m mostly finished one island and already I’m strong enough that the freaks are mostly one-punch pests. It’ll be interesting to see if they become more of a challenge as I move to more difficult areas or if they’ll just be nuisances on a checklist I have to complete for completion sake.

Played some CD2 last night…

Gah, there’s some charge-forward move that I activate without quite knowing how and I managed to hurl myself off a cliff while trying to clear and activate one of the blue uplinky things. Now I have to make my way back up to the mill and into the mountains again.

Fun game, it’ll be a lot less frustrating once I get to level 4 agility.

I’ll admit I rented the game so I didn’t RTFM. What’s up with the ‘aural areas’ in the game? There’s music playing in random spots.. I assumed it was a hint that there was an object nearby but I haven’t seen anything yet.

Put it this way, Dan. Even if we don’t FT CD2, we will be Fting CD2.

Also, sorry for the dearth of DS recommendations, but I traded in my DS Lite a long time ago, and now that I’ve got an iPhone, I have no real reason to replace it. If I were to get another DS, the first game I’d get for it is Dragon Quest IX, and I don’t think you’d be into that.

Was Darth Kenobi an unlockable character? I don’t recall him.

It’s a shame to hear about Lucasarts…I have some fond memories of their games, going back quite a while.
