Thanks for reminding me I still have some headphones around here from when I used them playing music. Audio Technica ATH M40fs, ancient and soft parts falling apart. Notice the adaptor. This thing was pricey back when I got it and meant to be plugged into a mixing board or amplifier. Maybe, just maybe I need one of those sweet amazon cans you got.

I want to use them now when I do my school work at the library to cut out all the crying kids, people snacking loudly, or otherwise talking in a normal tone or even on their phone. 

Yea, it's cool, but I kind of want to get to other games too. Their online is called Horizon Life. I'm supposed to sacrifice all my time to it, I suppose?

Yea, it got onto all the consoles. I put it on my list to go back to sometime and finish it. Mark's still playing it though. 

I figured, with the limited time I've been able to put into handheld games lately, I'd jack it up to hard so the game would end sooner. 

That's exactly my feeling too.

I broke the hundred hour mark in the game. I don't do that too often. 

Ha ha. Yea, that experience at the end there was very similar to one I had. But I kind of enjoyed it, because it caused me to try new things.

The horse thing gets better. You can build your relationship with the horse and extend the area it'll respond to you. 

I think you can hold down the button to sprint too? Or it lets you keep up with someone your following, I think. It didn't bother me too much. I wasn't running all the time anyway. 

The game is defintely styled more like a simulation game. You have to learn how to do things and overcome hassles like all your important gear being on your horse. Of course, the lesson is, never leave your horse. What cowboy lets himself get separeated from his beloved horse? Ha ha. 

My one issue is that, after the opening segments, I kind of lost track of the story because I couldn't readily see what to do next. And there is so much to explore and try, I basically forgot about the story as soon as they stopped holding my hand.

Them horses are tempermental. Gotta watch it around them. That's definitely funny though. The random things that happen in that game, amazing. 

Yea, and just like that old game Two Worlds, they say a lot of goofy things during the game. There's this over-the-top unreliable narrator in VV who makes fun of you the whole time. It reminds me of Sacred 3 in that way - way silly dialog. I still quote from Sacred 3 'cause it made me laugh. 

Mark bought the Treasure Map that shows you everything. I'm really tempted to do that, and I cheated by looking at his map a few times and found two more bonus boards, but I don't want to pay to get achievements. I'll pay for new content.
