Syberia may be one of my favorites in the genre. It was a bit of a cliffhanger, so I was excited to get Syberia 2. That game was a huge disappointment from the first one. It did tie up the loose ends of the story, but the game itself sucked. I recommend playing the first one, and then watching a Let's Play of the second one. Play The Longest Journey first, and then Dreamfall, you can get them as a bundle on Steam if you haven't already. Dreamfall should have had a sequel, Microsoft talked briefly about making one and then nothing materialized.

I will have to see what my laptop can handle. I pretty much stick to browser-based games with it, as it's not very beefy and I'm trying to save space on my hard drive for my photos.

No, haven't tried it. Where does one find it? I am realively limited with PC games, as I'm using an older Dell laptop.

I was having fun until the end of the last level. Frustration ensued due to platforming difficulties and I quit, losing all progress in the level.  Reminded me of why I prefer the more recent generations of consoles, lol.

I don't understand people who a) trash things and b)worse, allow their children to trash things. My family taught me respect - for other people and for my environment. We were always expected to pick up any litter we caused and not to damage or take things that didn't belong to us. Sorry other people don't have that same ethic :(

R&C: Going Commando - I finished my first playthough without the Zodiac or the top armor upgrade. If you're sick of farming for bolts, just go for it. The easiest way to get the max number of bolts is to find all the crystals on the desert and frozen planets and to do all the arena battles. Hard as hell, but oh, so worth it. If you really want all the weapons and armor upgrades, you can get them in subsequest replays. The enemies get a little tougher, but are worth more bolts. Yeah, I've played this game a few times, lol.

Sounds like ETU is keeping you entertained.  Personally, sometimes dull is a good thing. Sorry you had a blah birthday, though.

Yay for being unpacked! I think I'm going to get myself a 2DS for no reason other than I want one. Was going to go tonight, but remembered that it's Sunday and the closest GameStop closed at 6:00. Boo.

And I'm watching now. I find myself doing more laughing than screaming, though.

Not a fan of zombie flicks. OK, well maybe Bubba Ho-tep and Shaun of the Dead.

I hear you about the busy part. I have been doing something every weekend for the past month, usually music-related, but last night purely social. I'm waiting for the snow to fall to play Tales of Xillia. There's just something about spending a snowstorm tucked inside safe and warm with a good rpg.

I think he may be in a 12 Step program, lol.
