Yea, I'm really liking it so far. 

Yea, I've played lots of mediocre games, but had fun because they had at least two player co-op. 

He still looks like 40 at most. 

We, or maybe just I, was hoping to get the achievements in Survival Mode and Overrun, but the multiplayer was more limited in several ways than in Gears 3. Fatigue set in as we tried that last Survival map for an achievement again. You have to win 10 waves and it takes a good long time. We would get into the 10th wave and lose after almost a hour of gameplay. Very frustrating. 

Co-op is the best, but even that can get scrappy at times. I was really pissed during Survival missions when bots weren't doing their job and covering my back when I was keeping one side of the approach clear of locust. 

Yea, that's cool. Mark and I tried Hardcore, and, although I liked the challenge, he seemed frustrated with it. The Declasified Missions in each level also add conditions to each level. like several limit you to certain weapons, others add reduced visibility, wind, or reduced visual clarity as you get hit. I liked these alterations of the gameplay but I had to convince Mark to do them every time. He just wanted to run-and-gun and blow Locust to chunks. 

I still haven't played Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story. I need to get me a copy of it soon. 

Sounds like a preorder to me. 

Slime plushy! Wow! I want one. 

I have DQ I, now II, VIII, and IX. DQVII was on the PS1, huh. I'm wondering how expansive the world is because I'm thinking of getting the remake for 3DS next year, and I like my RPGs old school in style for the handhelds. When they get all 3D and open worldy like DQ VIII, I like to play them on a console.
