I agree/understand that manual saves give you complete freedom to reload or replay parts to use up less ammo, but I don't think it is the right way to challenge the player. It takes far too much control away from you. You are forced to play the game as the developers want you to, and for me that ruins it.

You look back at Doom or Quake of the 90s, and tell me if they were not challenging enough, with saving in front of every door (Carmack recommended saving often) and being able to use ammo and health as you wished. You often had to replay parts even with manual saves, because you die so often sometimes.

You have to kill the same number of enemies in the game, regardless of where and how often you save. True that you can better use your ammo/health if you choose. I think there are better ways of making a game challenging though, without making it so frustrating to play parts over and over.

For me checkpoint-only saves take the enjoyment out of the game by 75%! What makes it fun is playing it the way I want to, and with checkpoint-only saves I basically can not do that anymore.

Whenever I get patted down I act mildly aroused and grin like the Cheshire cat making little 'mmm' noises. It definitely makes them uncomfortable and puts them on the defensive. It always results in very fast, and not very thorough patdown. I thought congress was moving to end the TSA entirely. They really need to.

Just stumbled across this by accident:

If you're like me and enjoy movie scores, Looper's is out, but it's digital download only...

UNLESS you go here and get one limited to 3000 copies, and features additional music not in the digital release:

These guys are legit, I've ordered from them before, including:

Yeah it was a hard pill to swallow at $15, but luckily I enjoyed the hell out of it. I think I may have waited until it was on sale too. I'm surprised it's still at $15 on XBLA.

Oh yeah, it's a blast. Looking at it's page on live, it's currently listed at 1200 points, which is $15. I'm a little surprised I paid that the first time...

Had they come in at $10, I'd grab it right away...

NOOOOO!!!

Call Samsung and tell them what is going on and it is probably covered under the Capacitor Settlement Program.

Mine was clicking...

It isn't a TV. I guess nobody cares about the four billion people using Sammy 226 monitors.

Either that or PC users are smart enough to fix their own shit...

The backlight on my $380 PC monitor is on the outs. Apparently, shockingly, Samsung used some shit capacitors on the things power supply and they have a history of going bad.

Time to put that one electrical engineering course I had into action and do some soldering!

It's rocked & kicked around through alot of earthquakes & aftershocks, needless to say it is harnessed to the wall & with a bead of silicon around the base.

Great game, can't wait to give it a go. I am certain the graphics and physics will be hilariously terrible..but the memories I have of playing this game will probably overwhelm that. Can't wait for the Kickstarter project to be finished.
