Reviews by Snotnarok
Scott Pilgrim if it were made by Japan...kinda.Snotnarok | Feb. 20, 2015 | Review of Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds
The game is really good, it's got a lot going for it with really nicely rendered/animated sprites with a lot of character, tons of weird crap and a lot of combos which helps make it more fun.
I don't like RPG elements in beat 'em ups as that kinda ruined the Scott Pilgrim game for me. In that they made it needlessly complicated to level.
However in Phantom Breaker you level up by playing and you distribute points to whatever you want, damage, speed, defense or skills- they also let you redistribute the points at any time! This really makes it easy for friends to pop in so you can lower your points to make the playing field fair.
I didn't pay any attention to the story, it's a beat 'em up so it's more about that than anything else. It does it well too, the moves feel like they got a nice impact to them. My one complaint about the game is the one of the final levels is needlessly wonky, forcing you to run through a part, go through some portals....go back, then do that again to another set. It's not a deal breaker or anything just a bit frustrating.
It's not the definitive beat 'em up, I still rank Guardian Heroes & Streets of Rage 2, Bare Knuckle 3 way higher but this is by no means bad. I do think it's far better than Scott Pilgrim for the leveling alone, better than a lot of recent beat 'em ups if I'm going to be honest. Fans of any beat 'em up should like this if they can get past the cutesy look....or KAWAII DESU look.
Short fun.Snotnarok | Jan. 2, 2015 | Review of Gauntlet™
I've not played the original arcade Gaunlet very long, mostly seen youtube videos of it. This game thankfully isn't that level of hard but with varying difficulties you can probably get it right up there. You get 4 characters and they cannot be picked by more than one player (this has some people miffed for some reason).
The game is fun, each character feels unique to a degree and you slaughter (or try to) tons of enemies and spawners as you traverse the game. You can unlock useless vanity items as your characters are super tiny when actually playing and you can't zoom in so that hardly has an effect.
While it's fun, the game is VERY short, I'm not sure how long 1 playthrough was but I was surprised when it was over. I expected there to be another whole part or something but nope. Maybe that's a good thing to some, swing in for a sort play and back to work or something. That said the $20 dollar price tag is just a bit much to ask for with this, $10? Sure. But it feels like it needs more.
One of the best RPGs of it's generation.Snotnarok | Nov. 21, 2014 | Review of Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium
This game is astounding for many reasons, for one it's the end of the series which is rare to ever see, the story actually ends here. *till SEGA tries to continue or reboot it making this statement moot
The game, especially for a console title of the 90's does a superb job of conveying what's going on by using comicbook like cutscenes- allowing you to see what characters are feeling or their actions, tie this in with full sized characters in battles against animated monsters it really immerses you. You won't find sprites bouncing off one-another to convey a fight, or a sprite turning to show death or something, things are shown really telling the events.
Battles are quick and can be hard. You start the battle with a flash and you pick what each member does or select a macro you've made before, then the two side sclash and after that turn is done you pick what to do. You have magic like techniques and ability driven skills, some of which you can actually combine into a team attack to deal out more damage or hit more enemies.
The game really has a great setting that only gets better as you play, taking you beyond a single world map and cliche airship to get you around (you actually fight IN the vehicles you get- as in you take control of it and fight monsters!)
This is a overlooked RPG, simply because of the platform it was released on, for some reason the Genesis/Mega Drive was ignored in terms of RPGs despite having some top notch ones. Which is odd since this game is now so easily found on a variety of platforms and it's simply great. I've never played a 16bit rpg that had such style, way of conveying emotion and what's going on in a scene. Considering this game was over 100 bucks at the time to get (carts were expensive!) at this price it's a steal.
A fun co-op action game, not exactly scary.Snotnarok | Nov. 20, 2014 | Review of Resident Evil 6
I like this game- hold it! Hold your tomatoes and hate for a moment!
Look I get it, Resident Evil was a fun horror series with a totally different gameplay style and was horror focused and I agree that's how it SHOULD be. However- capcom dun screwed up and this is the result.
On it's own the game is fun co-op, I'm sticking to that for this review as I've only ever played it co-op so just keep that in mind, however I'm going to try to limit comparing this to the other games because frankly these may as well be called: Anti-Terrorism Heroes: EXTREME FORCES
The story is dumb, incredibly dumb over the top garbage with things that make no sense and are outright impossible. I'm all for silly goofy games like Earth Defense Force but this is TRYING to be serious. So I guess there's some kinda charm in that in itself but, seriously they have a helicopter smash into a building, grind against the side of a train..IN SLOW-MO while another character tries to pull a NPC into the back and they crash into the street and live. Though I don't think any Resident Evil game ever really had a good story, it was more about the atmosphere and survival aspect. The lines are well acted for the most part but some things no matter how well acted if the writing is dumb, it's gonna be dumb. In short: do not buy this for the story.
The gameplay is fun and keeps things moving, you have several campaigns to play through with all different characters and even enemies to deal with. Thankfully they even have some new characters so it's not all fanservice....well okay, every campaign has characters from past games but new ones as well. Leon + Helena, Chris + Pierce and Sherry + Jake. So 3 full campaigns with all sorts of different things going on, locals and unique events. There's all different guns and mechanics to how characters attack (with Melees and what not). So there's a lot of effort in the game, as much as the people who hate this want to deny it, they dropped a lot of crap into this game.
It's a fun game to play through, the gameplay is solid and with a friend it's just a load of fun. The game really works well co-op, say what you will you actually have to work together at times and it makes it that much more enjoyable. Also, it's co-op online and split screen, that's REALLY uncommon with PC games so this is welcome.
This is only enhanced by the Mercenaries mode which is far far, FAR better on PC- how? They have a mode for PC only that has something like 5x the enemies in the game, it's insane how hard it can be to play and it's great for it. Mercs mode is a sort of survival/time trial mode, it ends when: every enemy has been killed, time runs out (extendable by melee kills or time icons). Each character is playable and has their own different equipment, so there's a lot to be played here- again extended by the PC version having Left 4 Dead 2 characters in it <=awesome.
Is it a good game? Well gameplay wise yes it's very fun with a friend, the story is dumb as hell but it ...keeps things moving I guess?
Look is it as good as the old R.E. games? They're just not comparable, they're different and yes it's a shame they pulled a left turn with the series like this, especially with RE1 having such an truly incredible remake. But I can't deny this game has been a lot of fun. I know the hate is huge but screw it there's new horror games coming out and we'll get to enjoy those, capcom just ...isn't doing what any of their fans want.
So, in short: Fun 2 player local/online co-op game, lots of time to put into it, variety of enemies, characters and weapons if this all sounds good? Give it a go, it's good.
Good but beware.Snotnarok | Nov. 20, 2014 | Review of Dragon Age II (NA)
I enjoyed the game quite a bit, it gets a lot of flack for ...I don't know 'being less of an RPG" or something. I honestly don't understand what others issues with this game were, maybe because it uses origin. Everyone is fully voiced in this game, including you, the main character which I feel adds to the immersion. The visuals, specifically the art design is much improved and the presentation as far as the moves are better than the first one. The audio is a step above the previous one, making hits feel more powerful.
There seems to be many ways to build a character (I'm not sure, I recently lost my save due to a HDD failure) which can add to replayability. There's certainly more than one way to build the main character as he/she can be whatever you want, rogue, warrior, mage. I enjoyed 1 quite a bit but something was more interesting about 2 somehow.
The issue that drags this down for me is, the game has some kind of issue with Nvidia cards that makes it run far more poorly than it should be. I have a i7 4770, 8GB of ram, a EVGA Nvidia GTX 560tiDS and without maxing the game I get around 45-55fps. I've turned off AA, depth of field and A.O. to bring it form 25-30fps. It's something you can find replicated online with other Nvidia card owners. I'm currently looking for a mod of somekind to see if someone has sorted out the performance issues, but no luck so far.. I heard ATI users have no issue so, just keep this in mind when buying.
It's a shame because the game is really good, it's like they merged a bit of Mass Effect 2/3 into it to get a more immersive experience and I really enjoyed it because of that.
Great co-op game, not so great Resident Evil game.Snotnarok | Nov. 4, 2014 | Review of Resident Evil 5
Let's get this out of the way, no it's not a good Resident Evil, yes there's a bit of inventory managing an rationing but by no means like 1-3. Now that that's out of the way, I'm going to talk about the games merits by itself, okay? Okay.
Resident Evil 5 is a co-op game, yes you can play it alone but doing that I've heard nothing but anger and frustration- which may have spawned many of the negative reviews out there. You play as Chris & Sheva and you're trying to survive an trip to Infected Africa, where many of the civilians are infected by some parasite that is not zombie related. The theme of the game is being overwhelmed, constantly. You and your partner will be trying to fend off a lot of people trying to club your face in or run a chainsaw across your face. You'll have to fight and manage your resources on the fly as the game does not pause when you bring up your inventory! You can trade items between you and your friend, so there's not too much worry about someone hogging all the ammo.
The game varies it up and you'll find yourself doing ...some what silly things, such as riding on the back of a Humvee with a HMG and minigun trying to keep the locals from destroying your truck, while randomly having to hold a button to make sure you don't get whip lash around a corner, or something.
There's a variety of locations, the story is not worth mentioning, but the events in the game are fun. I just cannot stress enough that you bring a friend to this game or it could be a lot less amusing.
Back is mercenary mode where you and a friend fight against time in maps to survive and get as many points and combos as possible. Though in the PC version you get a unique mode where they spawn FAR more enemies making it even more wild! ...That said, you cannot play that one co-op without a mod for some reason. Yeah, I know it's ...stupid.
The only other downside to this game is, it doesn't include the DLC that was on the console, infact you simply cannot get any of it as far as I've seen. On steam, GMG, or otherwise...so that's a bit lame, but the game that is there is fun! ...Just bring a friend :|
Well made but feels unfinished in a way.Snotnarok | Nov. 4, 2014 | Review of Devil May Cry 4
Let me explain the title right away, the game is very well made and has everything you'd expect from a Devil May Cry game. The reason it feels unfinished is you play the first half of the game as Nero (new character)...then you play as Dante ...reverse through what Nero went through. Granted there's new cutscenes and such but you're literally fighting the same bosses and everything just with Dante who does work 100% different than Nero but it still feels hack-y no matter how well made the game is. The only difference is there might be a different puzzle or new enemies which is where the entertainment really comes in. Going through these new enemies in new combinations.
Speaking of enemies and combinations- do not play this game on easy mode. They cut down the enemies to, so you'll never see some enemy types simply because you're on easy mode. I never heard of this till my friend was confused when I was talking about some fights in the game that were hard because of a certain enemy that he never saw.
Nero...he's hit or miss, he has a new grabby ability with his demonic arm that lets you yank enemies from a distance or throw them about. His sword has a weird motorcycle rev-up sorta thing to increase damage making for some wild combos.
Dantae on the other hand is a maniac, if you played 3 this may make more sense to you. You get all his styles and weapons...at the same time. You can switch through all of them on the fly with no menu usage or whatever. He's got swords, gauntlets, another different sword, pistols, shotgun, Pandoras Box The game is crazy, it looks nice to this day, runs super well and has PC exclusive features like extra enemies...As in go into a room and instead of 5 enemies there's 20 at the same time.
The Bloody Palace is back from 3 buuut...it's different. You'd be better off looking at a youtube video to understand what they did to it. It's by no means bad, just different. So all n' all, it's a solid game but with the above mentioned retreading, some may be off put by that. It's a great port with added options that you'd expect but more features that are a nice bonus.

They went all out.Snotnarok | Nov. 3, 2014 | Review of Sonic 3 and Knuckles
This is my favorite game in the 2D series, they did just about everything right. With the benefit of time, you get to skip where the games were separate due to time, cartridge space limitations and such. That's right this game was 2 separate carts you could slot together for the full on adventure.
To start, the game has some really large levels, not really just the length it's also the height granting the player numerous paths to finish the level making replayability really high. Unique for the time, the levels intermix- where you beat the first act and no screen changes you're into the next act. You'll make a transition via a cannon or pit trap to the next level but it makes the game seem like 1 big adventure which is impressive considering. Each stage has a mini-boss and a boss as well to make sure things stay interesting. The music is great, you'd be hard pressed to find tunes that beat this game then. Only made better by every act having it's own variation or entirely separate song. Yes, the game has been confirmed to have had Michael Jackson working on tracks to some extent- but due to reasons (criminal accusations at the time) all credit was removed.
You get to play as 3 characters in this game, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles. Each has their own abilities and heck, even unique paths. -Sonic is fastest, jumps highest, can use alt abilities on shields. -Tails can fly and swim -Knuckles jumps the lowest, can glide, climb walls, smash unique paths open. (he's also the hard mode of the game)
It's a huge game and considering the cost today vs then? It's a steal. It's a great game(s) and worth playing if you like platformers. You can tell you went all out considering the details they went into and variety of gameplay they have in here.
Maybe the best in the series, not the best port.Snotnarok | Sept. 30, 2014 | Review of Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition
The Xbone port hits PC, it looks better, runs at higher res buuut it chuggs in odd spots. Hordes of zombies on screen? Runs fine, turn around? It decides to chug then of all times. If you watch Total Biscuits WTF is of the game, you can see where he plays with the settings more in-depth, showing that many settings seem to have absolutely no impact what-so-ever on framerate which is odd. The game is still being updated and Nvidia is still putting out better drivers so- it may get better.
With the port quality out of the way, this may be the best Dead Rising yet, it has modes for all kinds of players. Story mode where you have a LOT more time to do things and Nightmare mode where it operates much more like 1 where you are required to basically always be moving and ready to handle anything. They streamlined a lot of things, magazines no longer take up inventory, you have to pick which one is active. Levels are points you distribute to make the game play like you want; melee/guns/agility/health/inventory/etc. You can still craft weapons, maybe more than ever, but you can craft them wherever you want. You can combine anything, anywhere as long as you have the blueprint which are collectables all over the game map. You also feel less clunky when moving and going about and interesting enough: survivors can be far more helpful depending on who you find. Some won't even follow you, they'll thank you give you PP and run away. (Note: This is on Story mode. I haven't played Nightmare so that may be entirely different). The map is larger than Dead Rising 2 and more open thanks to vehicles and combos with them, allowing you to travel great distances easier. It almost feels GTA in scope but most stores are accessible with things inside to help you survive. I've played Dead Rising 1,2(off the record) and now 3 and I can say this is far easier to get into but also has the difficulty of previous if you want to dive into the Nightmare mode which is open at the start. It may also be the best given the options given. Just be sure you have a nice chunky video card because as I said, the game doesn't seem to run super well at times which may be fixed later but at the time of this review with a GeForce 560TiDS, framerate ranges wildly from mostly playable to choppy.
Great game in co-op only.Snotnarok | Sept. 20, 2014 | Review of Payday 2
This game is really really fun, it's a co-op shooter with classes that actually feel different. Each level gains you points to spend into class tress that are easy to understand and are helpful along the way. Enforcers can drop ammo bags and dishout more damage with shotguns while masterminds can control the heists with their voice, telling civilians to help them out, reviving allies from a distance and even getting enemies to cuff themselves to use in hostage trades. There's more classes but...I feel that gives a good idea what to expect.
Gameplay is varied, it's not just a horde mode or stealth game (though it can be both of those too). You look over a map and jobs appear over it, when you spot one you like on a difficulty you want you grab and go. You can rob a bank, you can make raid a meth house and ..make meth while the house is being assaulted, rob jewelry stores, move drugs. Each person will find roles, you'll need to drill safes, saw or pick locks, or hell use C4 if you're speced to do that. You need to move bags individually which REALLY makes the game get tense as the police are on you if you're under assault and they will try and grab them if they're left unattended. With stealth it makes the missions lengthy as you need to get them out without being noticed.
Maps also have a randomized feature, parts of the heists will change, safes and vaults will be in different locations, skylights can be in ceilings, the escape van will show in different spots. So maps have a lot of replayability especially with 5 difficulty settings that come with different levels of enemies. (5th difficulty is unlockable)
There's a variety of unlocks you get randomly during missions that allow you to buy them with in game currency (no micro-transactions or whatever). These unlocks range from guns, masks+colors+textures,cash, exp etc. You have a wide range of guns, wider with DLC from shotguns, pistols, SMGs, rifles, assault rifles, grenade launchers(DLC), sniper rifles(DLC), LMGs (DLC).
Okay let me go over the DLC right quick here: There's no need to go grab the DLC though as there's quite the variety of weaponry to choose from and the other guns may not suit your playstyle and such. There's a bunch of DLC free and pay but the devs were good with this...as long as the host has a DLC for say a heist DLC thing? You can play even if you don't own it, just the host requires it and that's it.
Here's the issue, the game hinges on playing with people. There are bots who will fill in for any missing players, but they do not move bags, fix or place drills. They're durable gunners who'll help you if you're downed and will come if you call them. (they can also be disabled and not used). So, playing alone will be really impossible when all the responsibilities lie on one player to move bags, fix drills. You'll have to do all the technical parts of the game while the bots cover you which will make it dull. There's an active community and you'll never have trouble ...at the time of writing, to get into a match. Though your mileage will vary with randoms as ...well they're random strangers.
NOTE: When reading reviews, or looking up youtube vids, this game is ALWAYS changing as they add new stuff and different things both free and pay, so it can be hard to gauge what you're getting into. I played this game for many hours and stopped for a bit to play some other games, I come back and the maps have more random set ups, and there's new enemies I've NEVER seen before that added a lot of new challenge. Honestly? Got some friends, this game is 100% worth it.
Literally hurt my eyesSnotnarok | Sept. 15, 2014 | Review of Max Payne 3
This isn't a game, this is a movie with some bits that you shoot in sometimes. There's so many lengthy videos and yes before you note: these videos mask loading times, which is not an excuse for squat. Seriously you'll be sat watching for up to 20 minutes waiting to play the game you bought, all the while the videos are covered with horrible video effects to immerse you in Max Payne's drunk/stoned mind. It wouldn't be so bad if the entire, game's, videos didn't do this. But it does, even does it sometimes in gameplay, I get it, you're telling me I've harped on about it enough. Well considering I've left sessions with burning eyes and a headache, I'm not sure I have- but I'll cut it short.
The gameplay was fun, you shot doods, they reacted and you did it in a variety of locals, it's well voice acted and the set pieces are neat. But the problem is, that's all you do. You basically finish watching a cutscene and you shoot, it's nothing like previous Max Payne titles where you're incontrol of the entire level. All the while you're sat there, stunned at how many cutscenes you're forced to watch and you have to watch most of them as said earlier it's masking load times, MASSIVE ones. Sonic 2006 has NOTHING on this game and it's loading, it's just hidden under a movie here.
To stack the crap on top, to play this game not only do you need steam but you need a Rockstar Social Club account for ...some reason and I dunno about you but 2 step DRM is not something I'm a fan of.
Previous entries had lengthy comic like cutscenes but they were skippable and there was a lot of running around and shooting to do while voice work may play while you're walking about- keeping you in the game. I cannot say avoid this loading screen of a game enough, what good gameplay there is, is buried under bloated cutscenes. Watch a LP if you must or if you're SO set on this game, go look up an LP that hasn't cut this stuff out to see what you're getting into. As for me, this is 30 GB of game I'm happy to spare my poor eyes and headache filled brain of.
Great job on this one.Snotnarok | Sept. 10, 2014 | Review of Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed
Let me sort this, firstly this is a solid port in the regards that it has online, local split-screen multiplayer and works very easily with 360 and other game pads. Right off the bat the one issue with S.A.R.T. is many of the characters and tracks are locked and you have to unlock them in single player. A major gaming sin where you get this game to play with friends and it requires a little bit to unlock tracks, characters.
THAT SAID, a hour or two will unlock a lot of it and you'll have plenty of incredibly made tracks, a nice character roster with different options for how they drive. There's a reason Mario Kart 8 has anti-gravity, because this games track design plays out with 3 vehicle modes, car, boat, plane all of them handling well bringing some car physics into each (drifting as a plane/boat, wot?). Speaking of Mario Kart, know what I never liked about those games? The powerful items, the items that will insure you will have a annoying time in any place above last? The items in this game aren't super powerful, meaning there's more focus on driving well and driving fast. Something I'm happy to see as that was something that always drove me mad about Mario Kart.
Enough about that game! I can't say how many tracks there are, but there's a good amount with their own themes, layouts and nostalgic nods to other game series ranging from House of the Dead to Golden Axe.
Look, ya like kart racers but don't have a nintendo console or Crash CTR? This isn't a crap clone, this is competition, again the anti-gravity in MK8 really aiding to that argument.
Must haveSnotnarok | Sept. 10, 2014 | Review of Sonic Generations
Okay let me start by saying if you get this game, you can basically get 'a free ticket' for the awesome levels in Sonic Unleashed. There's a mod that has all of the day/modern Sonic levels that work in this game with a simple to use mod interface called Sonic GMI.
Sonic Generations by itself is 2 games in one, play as Classic Sonic then there's Modern Sonic. Each level will let you play as both, that doesn't mean it's the same level, no, not even close. Classic Sonic only moves in 2D and his levels are very much his own, same with Modern Sonic, they're themed the same with the same gimmicks. Down to having the giant truck chase you in that one Sonic Adventure 2 level you all love so much.
Classic Sonic does not have the same handling as he did in the 2D games, it's similar at best. Just have one go at the spindash and you'll get what I mean. Modern Sonic handles like a car out of the game Burnout, you got your fast parts where you're literally drifting around corners and darting around the stage. You'll play through levels that may be familiar to you visually but they're all remade from the ground up for each character and their play style.
Only negatives I can think of (without the mod) the game is a bit short, maybe 3 hours if you plough through it, the levels are really fun to replay but that's not everyones cup of tea. There's a lot of challenge levels where you'll engage in going through part of a level with the help of another character to get around or whatever. Oh, and they've got bossfights obviously, revamped and crazy from past games and have a good nostalgic feel to them but are fun otherwise. There's also not much in the way of cutscenes, they're just sorta there to say "Here's a new level!", while this is a major complaint to some...it's a Sonic game, your story was summarized on the back of the box till the Dreamcast.
With the Unleashed mod you get 6 more levels about, and if you're really feeling like modding the game you can play as anyone from Sonic to Knuckles, Blaze a real hedgehog, Robotnik himself.
Bit of a disjointed review but honestly the game is worth it if you like platformers or just going crazy fast.
Solid action RPGSnotnarok | Sept. 10, 2014 | Review of Beyond Oasis
You play Ali, you find a golden armlet and find that you need to go to dungeons and free spirits who will help you as you find them through said dungeons. It looks like Zelda but plays a bit differently, you have abilities you do by doing fighting game like moves on the Dpad (quarter circle, forward back forward etc) and then your armlets ability to summon spirits from the elements they're in tune with.
The game looks great, has a simple story, has a bunch of areas to explore and the spirits you summon offer unique ways to fight/get around that you don't see in other titles. It's one major downfall is the music is just bland, this carried over to it's prequel on the Saturn so I don't know what's up with that. It's a fun game to be sure.
Great game, with more content than you thinkSnotnarok | Nov. 4, 2013 | Review of Sonic Generations
Sonic Generations is criminally overlooked because of previous 3D Sonic titles quality being mixed at best. They put a lot of effort into this game and it shows in every level, the PC port is no slouch either. The game is beautiful and the visual style very pleasing, to best explain the game with Modern Sonic you run at speeds that would make Burnout games blush. You are crazy fast, so fast Sonic can drift around tight turns. Classic Sonic plays, as you expect; like his classic counterpart, it's by no means EXACT, he feels different for sure but it's good. There's 2 acts to each level and about 9 levels, several boss fights have been remade, oh er, yes each level's style is taken from a previous Sonic title ranging from Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant, Planet Wisp, Sea Side Hill.
To further this game's level of amusement, a great mod out there: Project Unleashed is a very easy to install mod that adds the day levels from Sonic Unleashed, the levels this game's modern Sonic levels were based on. There's ...maybe 7 levels to be had there, all ported over perfectly, and these levels were only previously on Console prior to this so it's just really great to have this option. I'm not one to blindly enjoy games based on maker, or who's in it, I've not liked many of Sonic's 3D outings, but this one really did a great job of bringing both Classic and Modern gameplay into one well made game.
Crackdown and Prototype, eat your heart outSnotnarok | Aug. 28, 2013 | Review of Saints Row IV NA
Saints Row has always been a more comical version of GTA with over the top stuff like dildo swords and cesspool trucks that you can use on houses.
Saints Row has gone the whole hog and has given you super powers, super sprint, ice blast, fire blast, lift people with your mind, then fire them several blocks away with ease? Or just lift them to drain health. You can leap several stories high and with an unlock system you progressively get stronger. But Snotnarok, aren't cars now useless? To a degree yes, but you can also power them up so Nitrus allows you to plow through traffic. But Snot! Doesn't these powers make the game easy? ..What? No! The aliens are relentless, they teleport in, or take people over Agent Smith style (Matrix), send UFOs, Terminators, and even super powered aliens after you, and it's not easy to shake them. You've been nerfed as well, you don't have regenerating health, to regain health you need to kill enemies and pick up the health bits they drop.
The game is solid, funny and considering how poorly Crackdown 2 and Prototype 2 were made this game really stands alone without competition. Infact if you have played Prototype, Hulks Ultimate Destruction or Crackdown a lot of these powers may seem familiar...and that's a good thing in my book.
I'm maybe a bit bias as I've fallen in love with the series, but I can assure you it's a great port and just a fun game to play. Saints Row 4 however doesn't replace Saints Row 3 as they're completely different, SR3 is more GTA styled. Avoid Saints Row 2 on PC, it's an amazing game but the port is very lack luster and you'll need a more powerful machine than typically recommended.
A new players perspectiveSnotnarok | July 19, 2013 | Review of Tomb Raider: Anniversary
I've only played Tomb Raider 2 back when that was new on the PSOne, while I remember it being good platformy fun I don't have a lot of experience with the TR series. Infact I've avoided it because of a lot of negativity that was around the series after the 3rd game. I decided to pick this up on sale because I'm a huge fan of games like Flashback:Quest for Identity, Uncharted, etc and I was very very pleasantly surprised with this title.
As an updated game you expect them to shove in modern mechanics like regenerating health or ammo stock piles. No, the game offers health packs, ammo where you find it as a reward as your pistols are infinite. The game runs smoothly and the mechanics offer more variables in platforming than seen in todays modern games like Uncharted, also routes are not always obvious which is nice instead of everything shining or being highlighted. The game is a splendid port with options varying from widescreen to nicer textures and PC specific visuals. The game is not Uncharted visually but it does look and move very nicely, as someone who's not been with the TR series I recommend this as a new player and fan of the series. Crystal Dynamics did a awesome job from where Core left off.
A fun rompSnotnarok | July 3, 2013 | Review of Sniper Elite v2 + DLC Bundle
I'm not all the way through the game, maybe 7 missions+ in, the other reviewers don't seem to enjoy the way the game functions, however the game is fun if you're looking for a fun shooter that does solid sniping with a variety of ways to adjust the difficulty. The difficulty adjustments allow you to change how bullets behave (bullet drop, breathing etc, you can increase how it effects shots or turn these functions off), how smart enemies are and the like. I didn't see a problem with the close range combat as that's something you should be avoiding and are granted the means of keeping distance: a sniper rifle, landmines,trip mines, rocks to distract enemies...if they manage to get past all this you have a SMG and pistol (one of them silenced if you so chose), the handling is only clunky if your heartrate is up.
The game is by no means a sim, you will be sniping gas caps on full on tanks and they somehow detonate.
If you have an interest in sniping in shooters this really is a good romp, it's not like there's a lot of options for games you are supposed to strictly snipe, but even then this game stands out and does well.
Superior in every way to Borderlands 1Snotnarok | July 2, 2013 | Review of Borderlands 2 (NA)
Borderlands 1 was a fun game but had some issues this game clears up. Borderlands 2 offers similar gameplay with more gun variety-including ways the guns function, better vehicle handling & more vehicles, a more diverse cast of characters with their own unique abilities, a more present story with more interesting things happening.
Better yet the multiplayer is far easier to get into because it's not using the bloody gamespy service! It will tell you which of your friends are playing in the main menu with the lvl and class they're using, and party members can even hop in and out of your game easily.Told you it was better all around! :D
Better yet it's no shovelware to PC, you get a wide array of options to adjust to get the game running smoothly on your PC as well as offering options that make it surpass the console version visually. It runs well even on my older 2.66 core 2 duo CPU/Nvidia 560 machine with only a few things on medium settings.
The game is certainly best played with friends, so find someone to play with and hop in a match and shoot some jerks!

cleaning shower doors
For those of you who
have frameless shower doors with clear glass
What is your cleaning routine? Is it difficult to keep the glass clean?
Did you get the water repellent treatment on them?
I rinse down the door and walls after I shower and then squeegee (its fun and takes 30 seconds), DH does not. Once a week I spray the inside and outside of the door with a combo of water and rubbing alcohol and wipe with a microfiber cloth.
I will say I am soooo glad I got the clear instead of the textured. I was so worried about privacy but it has never been an issue.
Mine have some factory built-in water shielding material (can't remember name). We squeege after every shower. Once a week, sprayed with white vinegar/water mixture, left to dry, then polished with clean rag. Retailer said to NEVER use anything but white vinegar/water mixture to clean. Only potential problem is vinegar etching marble MBA. So far so good.
The easy way for me to clean the shower doors is to use Barkeepers Friend, use small damp cloth and sprinkle on a small amount of BF. Gently rub across the glass and wipe with damp clean cloth, then wash glass door with window cleaner.

Way down. Seriously out of favor. A very poor pick for me so far in one of my services. I suspect pricing right here is pretty attractive over the near and longer term, and this article (pointed in by m'man gdett2) makes a real impression on me:
This said, CLNE remains a speculative, high-risk stock. Outperform.
these guys will need forever to recover after the recent oil price drop and all the expenses they've been going through, but since it's CAPS i have no issue waiting
oil prices will eventually go back up - making NG more attractive.
Believe in long term prospects
Contrarian energy lemming pick
cheap crude oil
cheap gas keeps alternative fuels on the back burner...
Oil prices are heading down but have no place to go but up in the longer run. The company's long range strategy still makes sense and the stock's current price is probably a bargain for the long run.
Those I have talked with who use natural gas are pleased with the mileage which is greater that for diesel or regular gas. Also the cost per unit of output is cheaper and every bit as reliable. When the filling stations get built out, it will be a very profitable stock. More entities operating in a confined area are switching because of long term benefits.
short screen
Closed and reopened to closer reflect RL cost.
Natural gas refueling network.
My gas is natural.
Natural Gas will become the fuel of choice for trucking and rail over the next few years. Clean energy will be a large part of that supply. After being beaten down, the stock is at a great entry point.
Natural gas driven trucks have been increasing in numbers and seem to be steadily rising. One of these days this company will have a positive earnings report that will help it. Finally, it would be nice to hear our federal government taking some action to enhance natural gas usage in public sector vehicles.
Great opportunities lie ahead with natural growth on the domestic market and landing of several corporate clients and cold weather approaching.
Price and availability of nat gas will lead to heavy trucking's increased usage of NG engines.
We are on the front edge of an ever increasing demand for natural gas in trucking and domestic autos. National security, environment, saving money - all of these will are contributing and at a point confluence will occur. There is the wild card additionally that our illustrious government may get behind such a wise use of this domestic fuel also, but we don't need to bet on that. It is happening anyway.
Huge potential market for trucking fleets to use natural gas instead of diesel.
A 20% sales volume increase from current volume will be sufficient for reaching positive cash flow. CLNE supplies are independent of particular truck or vehicle model name. Likely that a large train system will adapt natural gas.

I am a friendly and passionate person, with many interests. Love great conversation, company of friends, and going out whenever I can. I speak few languages at decent level e.g. Italian, French, Spanish and few others, very handy during travels. I like to travel often, especially to Europe, where I grew up. Can play guitar and although I am self-taught, can serenade you in foreign languages too if you would ever like to hear :). The right woman for me is very open minded, fascinates me, and brings out the best in me. We push each other to become the greatest people we can be. I am a dreamer, want to fell in love again and miss each other immensely, if you member that feeling... I am looking for a best girlfriend I can find, who would enjoy spending lots of time together, traveling, walks in the city, movies. Hopefully you will have time for long conversations when we lose track of time. I am out of long marriage, which ended in amicable divorce six years back. Had few relationships since from eight months to few years. Strong desire to keep relationship going has to be shared by both partners, so even if the breakup happens, I am totally anti-drama. My kids are in high school already, oldest about to finish. They live with their mom, and only occasionally visit me in my house. They always keep motivating me to be happy again. Hanging out with them is totally optional, and never was a problem in any past relationships I had. I am very excited to start dating again, and looking forward to talk to you.

My favorite places in the US are mountains of the West, canyons of Utah, and shores/islands of the Pacific. In Europe: Italy (Rome, Amalfi Coast, Umbria), France and surrounding countries.
I enjoy the most Italian and Asian food. Love books which mix story with the description of art e.g. by Pears, Brown, Follett - it sparks imagination when traveling. I relax listening to Pink Floyd,Depeche Mode,Dire Straits, jazz/classical.
hiking, swimming, live music (jazz, rock, classical, pop), playing guitar, books, movies, learning foreign languages.

In US, Venezuelans adapt old rodeo tradition
"The United States has always been like the Cinderella of the competition," Palermo said. "We're small but potent. And respected."
About 20 cowboys competed for 12 spots to represent the U.S. at the international coleo championship in Venezuela this fall.
Among them were Abreu, known to his friends as "Popeye" because of his bald head and muscular physique. Also competing was Gabriel Boracchi, 32, who came from Venezuela to the U.S. 12 years ago to study and now exports car parts and works in real estate. His girlfriend, Sandra Valencia, 27, watched nervously as he prepared for the first round. She was born in Colombia and had never been to a rodeo.
"Scary," she said, looking for a place to watch from the sidelines.
Meanwhile, Juan Carlos Rodriguez, 56, originally from Cuba, assessed the competition.
"This is a risky sport," he said. "I can't do what I did when I was younger."
At the end of the first round, Boracchi had three points, Abreu two and Rodriguez none.
Ricardo's wife, clad in jeans and cowboy boots, pinned ribbons in the colors of the U.S. and Venezuelan flags on the backs of the cowboys each time they got a point for flipping the bull.
The large crowd watched from under tents where plates of barbecued meat and boiled yucca were being served. Rhona Rojas and Joseph Duarte, both 34, came with their two sons, ages 2 and 6 months.
Rojas, of Venezuela, said they brought them to "learn a bit about the history of our country."
At that moment, a bull fell near the railing close by to where she stood. It flailed on its back, its neck outstretched. She winced at the sight.
"It's like in bullfighting," her husband said. "There are parts that we don't want to see."
Bevan, of the Humane Society, said any abuse of the bulls during an event might fall under Florida's animal cruelty law. However, she didn't know of any coleo-related prosecutions in Florida.
In the second round, Boracchi's luck soured. The bull he'd been given fell once, then refused to get back up and run.
"It didn't go well," he said, a look of frustration on his face.
A gray and black Australian cattle dog chased the bull from the field.
By end of the competition, Rodriguez had one point, Boracchi three and Abreu six. The cowboys tied up their horses and waited for the team to be announced. Musicians played and pop artists like Rihanna blared on a loudspeaker during their breaks. Abreu moved his hips, the ribbons dancing off his back.
It was after midnight when a man in a white cowboy hat strode on stage and took the microphone.
"I want to honor the new team that will represent the U.S.!" he said to applause.
Rodriguez watched as the names were called. Boracchi. Abreu. The group on the stage grew larger and larger. Finally, with just two spots left, Rodriguez was called.
A look of relief settled on his face as he ran to the stage and the men patted him on the back.
Abreu took first prize, winning $1,500, a saddle and a gold trophy. The men lifted him up into the air.
"I feel honored," he said. "It's a great satisfaction to represent the U.S."

My current belt has decent vit + dex, only thing is it has no attk speed like Witching Hour, and no crit chance like Inna's.
So now I'm stuck between which of the two to get. On one hand, a witching hour with minimal dex and 9% attk speed gives me 10k dps increase, and on the other, an inna's with 120 dex and less life than my current, but more than the witching hour gives me roughly 7k dps (not counting the 130 dex bonus i'd get from having 2 of the set). The two pieces I'm looking at both sit at around 12-17mil.
Any ideas? I already only have 26k hp. If I lose the health from my current belt, I'll be lucky to even have 20k...
Oh and I currently have about 26mil to spend. If anyone has any thoughts on better pieces of my gear to upgrade, suggestions are always welcomed.

The innas will be much better in your budget. Get one with 80vit and as much dex as you can afford. Bad witching hours like the ones you are looking at are not as good as the set bonus you get from innas

crit-chance on inna belt is a joke. it is a whopping 1% If that is your "deciding factor" between a Witching Hour Belt and Inna Belt then you are in deep trouble with your build as going with ASI/CD on a witching hour belt would way outperform the 1% CC. Now it is hit-n-miss as to whether that belt would out-perform a inna belt with you getting the +130 dex bonus.
Since you don't have the INNA Belt ... I'd go witching hour all the way. Problem many of us have is once you get used to the bonus dex of +130 from the inna set ... hard to go to witching unless you will want to pay a LOT for good dex one.
Interesting side-note seeing you with nat boots, inna pants and lacuni for 36% movement where the cap is 25%. I'm taking it you want the 7% CC nat bonus and the lacuni/inna ASI ... :)
I actually was stupid enough to buy a decent WH (40M) thinking I'd gain dps over my Inna's belt but the set bonus isn't calculated (duh!), so the WH was a loss of about 1k dps. For your budget you'll get more dps from the Inna's belt and you'll be able to have more vitality than you could afford on a WH.
Having said that, I think the best end game option for those slots is WH belt, rare/DD pants, and then getting MS from Lacuni's. But that is way more expensive....

I disagree... on your budget. If you can round up 40M or so then you'll get comparable (but slightly less) dps from a WH which may be worth it since WH is really end game. Then you could switch your pants to a rare/DD and get some AR and Vit on your pants. Then get some Lacunis....

Unless your budget is 150mil + innas will win every time...
EDIT: did the math for you an innas belt with 90 dex/75 vita/8% holy dmg
you would gain 10.7k dps and lose 2.3k life
EDIT 2: get rid of vile ward.... EVERYONE uses them but unless your spending 80+ mil a rare WILL be better EX theres a rare on the ah right now with 74 all resist 152dex and 116vitality its 1.2mil vs a similar vile ward 170 dex 120 vit 76 all resist for 30 mil.... is 18dex/4vit/2 all resist worth 28million... i think not.... Look at my shoulders I paid 7.5 mil.. find me a vile ward with these stats I dare you
Edited by stayfrosty#1206 on 11/26/2012 11:54 AM PST
Why would you focus on your belt when you could get so much more dps from a new weapon? 26M is enough to get you a nice upgrade over your current bow and if you can add a couple more Mil, you can find some great offers. My friend picked up a 1030dps, 271 dex, 91% CHD 2O/S Manti for around 32M buyout last night so I would sit on that gold and wait for prices to drop a bit more.
Unless your budget is 150mil + innas will win every time...
I found the vile ward and they were better than the ones I had, that's why I'm using them, but I hadn't thought about looking for new shoulders. Maybe I will go investigate that.
I got my manti for 1.2mil. My belt is a lot !@#$tier than my manti (in my opinion), which is why I'm trying to upgrade that first. I'm trying to spend less on upgrades right now until my dps is decent, and then just save up all my money for a pretty good manticore.
In response, I also figured Inna's would be a lot better given my budget. It's just my friend has been pushing for WH like crazy. Thanks for the feedback everyone. :)
Got the nat boots because the ring is way too !@#$%^- expensive for a good one T_T...
It makes no sense that you would go for a belt like Inna's or WH with your budget, that is why I brought up about the weapon. You are going to lose a ton of EHP using a WH unless you have a 100M+ budget and for Inna's, while it is great, the best you can get on your budget is around 120 dex and 60 vit which costs you that 11% life on your current belt. That's going to make you extremely fragile even in MP0.
There is so much of your gear that can be upgraded with that budget, stuff that would add EHP and DPS at the same time like your Vile Ward or Ammy. 9-10% CC on that ammy would give you an amazing dps bump and make your damage output much more effective.
Yea I've also thought about the ammy, BUT I was told to try to find one with life on hit, CC, and avg damage, which... is sort of expensive. I think I'll check out the shoulders and just keep the rest of my money though.
DO NOT get LoH on an ammy. It is for Monks not DH, Life Steal is far more effective because of the high DPS DH's have. Take that stat out and you should find something nice, mine cost around 30M and has very comparable stats to your current one only with 9.5% CC which is huge in terms of effective damage output.

You can take a look at my vile ward---it does exist, just costs more, but for 7.5 mil and someone on a budget, def some really nice rare shoulders.

"Timid and shy and scared am I of things beyond my ken..." That about sums me up, but it doesn't stop me from becoming curiouser and curiouser. I don't write; I have all these storyline ideas in my head (and between my legs) but sadly, they stay there. I am in awe of the authors here, such skillful mouths and hands! Of course I'm referring to your way with words and writing skills. Obviously I'm a fan of puns, cliches, double entendre, innuendos... And Murphy's Law.

5 Minutes from the 192, shops, restaurants and entertainment.
All rates include all tax.
On arrival at the villa & entry into the property i felt the listing description was accurate regarding the location. The photos i had viewed of the property on-line reflected the property's appearance & amenities (Kitchen, dining area, lounge, washing machine & dryer in the garage - All brilliant).
The property's location was close to all the major attractions & the International Airport. Local shopping outlets & bigger shopping malls were also not too far away.
The only negatives concerning the property were the following:
Family bathroom tub appeared to have a lot of small insects inside when property was first inspected. Not sure how they got, may have arrived via the bathroom window being opened on a previous rental. TV/Cable in master bedroom & third bedroom seem to suffer from some sort of interference. Managed to get the TV/Cable in the master bedroom to work but was unable to resolve the issue concerning the third bedroom. Was not a problem as this bedroom was not used. Some of the linen in use on the bed in the master bedroom had holes in it & i believe will require replacing.
But in my opinion the property was of a good overall standard & i would not only recommend this property but also happiness stay here again on future visits to Florida.
This home was a very nice place to stay, very well maintained and close to all attractions. The owner was extremely helpful with everything we needed to make our vacation special.
Lovely clean, well-maintained, well-equipped and stylish house. The listing and photos are very accurate and representative of the house, pool and garden. 3 bathrooms meaning that my children had a bathroom each, which they were very pleased with. The pool was crystal clear and well maintained, and the hot tub was great fun and much appreciated after a long day at the theme parks! Communication from the owner was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily use this house again. Also, the location was good, even though the traffic seems to be getting heavier in the Orlando area! There is no shortage of supermarkets, shops and restaurants close by and the theme parks are all within a very manageable drive. Our favourite places to eat were Longhorn Steak House, Romano's Macaroni Grill and Sweet Tomatoes. All in all, highly recommended!
We loved this beautiful home and even debated staying longer, but knew we had to return to our cold and snow! We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, couldn't keep our daughter out, and especially appreciated the added security of the pool fence and door locks, to keep our son out! We had everything we needed here, the neighborhood was great for evening walks, and the home is in a great location! We drove to Fort de Soto beach for the day, spent a day at Legoland, trips to Walmart, and ate at Miller's Ale House and got carry out from Chef John's restaurant, which was excellent! We will be back again someday! Thanks so much!
This was our second year to stay at this rental property. The upkeep on this home is excellent. They try to provide anything that you might need for your stay. We hope to be able to return next year. The neighborhood is quiet and clean. Grocery stores, restaurants and WalMart is not far away. It is a property that one would need to have a car as none of these things are within walking distance. Appreciate have a property like this that we can enjoy.
The house was immaculate, well furnished, comfortable and very homey. We had no problems at all. The pool was lovely and very refreshing after a long day at the parks. Any questions we had were answered promptly and fully by the owner. I would highly recommend this house for anyone wishing to stay close to all Kissimmee has to offer.
