Another game done. This time Bulletstorm.

It's a surprisingly fun game. It didn't really hit the ground flying upon its release back in 2011, but I gotta same it's damn fun. The mechanics are fun, and it's short enough to not feel tedious. The story line is pretty lame, but hey it's a shooter what were you expecting. You play as the leader of a now disgraced elite hit squad carrying out orders for a corrupt general. You try to exact your revenge by taking down the general's ship but instead end up landing on a plant full of mutants and must fight your way out to live and to try and kill the general. Yadiyadiyah who cares this game isn't about story.

The big draw is the kill enemies in a variety different ways using different weapons and shit. Different scores are acquired for the difficulty of the kill method. It's kind of fun. It follows the same lineage as many of the iD games and has a unique weapon that is special and unique to the game. For Bulletstorm it's the leash, which allows you to pull enemies towards you and later in game you are able to pick them up slam them down and stun all the enemies in the area. The weapon mechanics are smooth and fun. And really this game is just absurd humor.

That weapon right there is the most fun weapon i've used in a game. It shoots out a drill bit and can pierce multiples of people shooting them into walls you eventually gain the right to control the drill bit. I once did that shot it through three people then directed it back around and through the asshole of a 4th it was pretty fucking awesome.

The biggest surprise to me of this game is just how damn good the environments look. It's all shiny and pretty just look below.

The Biggest issue with the game though. Stupid GFWL took me forever to remember what account I used to activate it the first time. Anyways pick this game up if you want a fun, fairly mindless, short, romp around a gorgeous world. 20 bucks may be worth I don't watch videos on it or something but if it's on sale I'd get it. Pretty amazing it looks as good as it does built for a gtx 260.

Re: Better gaming laptop

I had a good time with the AMD A10 apu. It probably won't play Evolve well, but I used to play D3, TF2, and Borderlands 2 sitting in airport terminals for hours and was easily able to switch over to work on it and had great battery life.

I had an HP ENVY Sleekbook with an A10, and I had upgraded it to 8gb of RAM and put an SSD in it (needs to be a slim ssd), I loved it. Paid 600 for the notebook, and maybe another 150 for the SSD/ram.

This was a couple years ago, not sure what is on the market now, but thats my $.02

Re: Self Defense advice

As someone with a CCP in VA and having worked as a bouncer for a somewhat rough bar for just over a year, it is my absolute recommendation that the best thing to do is just avoid conflict as best you can. I have spent hours at the range and I am still in need of more practice. There is a state of mind that has to be understood as well. The second you escalate a situation past words, mortality becomes a factor. I believe that I would have a hard time dealing with the consequences of taking a life over a wallet, car or any other personal belongings. As a result I have decided that most of the time, my handgun will stay locked away so I never have a chance for such a result. I carry a pocket knife as a tool pretty much everywhere, but I have never thought of it as a means of self defense or protection. If you are really serious about protecting yourself or loved ones, I would say that professional training is the only option, and even then nothing is guaranteed.

Re: MechWarrior Online

I finally ground out the last XP I needed on my shitty LRM hunchback.
Immediately dropped it for glorious AC20 hunch, bought every remaining boost with XP to spare and dropped into the PUG queue.

Behold, the wrath of 'FUCKLYNX'.
