I read an interview with one of the game's designer's and he said that cross-platform play was possible from a technical standpoint but they didn't want people to complain about others doing better because of using a newer system, which is a dumb complaint but I can imagine people making it. What I think they should have done is offer servers with cross-platform for those who want it and servers for specific systems for those who care about that.

I had planned on getting it when it first came out but then something came up and I had to wait. Glad to finally have it.

Things are going fairly well, I think. The boys both have colds and I think they're passing it to me  but otherwise...

My wife is the one that wants to play Watch Dogs. Maybe I'll try it one day. It's down to $28 on Amazon. That's not too bad.

I imagine most of us have pretty mundane lives outside of gaming. I sure do. My drive to work is when I listen to podcasts. I'd never get around to those otherwise.

I picked up Hard Corps: Uprising during that sale too. I tried the demo when it first came out and didn't like it but I've had it recommended several times to me since then, so I figured I'd give it another chance. Besides, I didn't even know about the Uprising mode where you can leve up your character. That sounds pretty cool. 

If you still have points (I know I'm behind on commenting), I'd recommend Shovel Knight. It's like playing an NES game without all the frustrations of playing an actual NES game 

Super Mario 3D World is just so good! I think it's worth buying the system for.

Yeah, I don't get the beef people have with the Game Pad. I think it's great. I've been playing through Shovel Knight and have done the whole thing on the Game Pad screen while my wife played Dragon Age: Inquisition on our tv. Super handy.

Excellent choice! But non-Nintendo games? You might be missing the point lol but I'd recommend The Wonderful 101.

(I'm trying to catch up on some blogs lol.)

I missed out when they started their podcast and I've been playing catch up since then. I think I'm on episode 4 now. This one sounds good!

One nice thing about mobile is that it seems to have pulled a lot of the shovelware off of consoles. The DS and Wii were drowning in it but their successors seem much less clogged. But the App Store...man alive. You know I love mobile but drowning isn't near a strong enough word for all the crap on there.

It's a monumental task o_O
