I think of myself in pretty good shape, cardio and core-wise, but I did a practice run for the Chicago Fire Dept's physical test and damn was it hard. I have a lot of time to prepare for the actual thing and I'll use it all wisely.
Did the exam look like this? If so, fucking eh Yodes...IMPRESSIVE. You alright? Having a stroke? That post seems to be missing some lacking ideas, words, and stuff to form any semblance of sense I'm dying xD I feel like this is appropriate for some reason.

It's relevant so I'll just call Dice out again because she sent me a youtube of the ME3 ending right after I got the game.
I dunno if I'm sorry for that one yet. On one hand, I feel bad, on the other, I'm diabolically laughing right now, and on the other-other hand I do want to apologize. It's my fault for trusting a Canadian. After Pearl Harbor I should know better than to trust you guys We lure Americans with promises of maple syrup by the gallon and our kind demeanours that remind Murican's of simpler lives.

While hardly on topic with a new Zelda game discussion: It depends. Tiers are great and all, but for semi-casual, semi-competitive play I was able to use her like a champion and was (not to toot my own horn) able to school the people I played with or at least keep matches competitive. I never really used Sheik, if I did, it was by accident and maybe rolled with it till I could get away and change back. I'm not and usually not a part of tournaments, so I can't guage those players and tiers but from my personal experiences with my group; either way I found her really enjoyable to use, tiers or no (but if you do want to go on with tiers, of the higher ranks I also rock ass with Toon Link, Ice Climbaz, and Marth).
I also hate tiers because you can use the "lowest tier'd" character against a "high tiered" one, a level of skill does come from the player. If someone sucks dick at using Meta Knight, then little is going to help you from owning the battle field if everyone else is simply a better/experienced player. ((again, I'm saying this as a tounrey-avoider)
Petty issue: I actually get annoyed with players who stick to one character, I also like to think of myself as a player who is a "jack of all trades", but master of none. I like having fun with a bit of everyone.
And with respect to letting Link jump, too many games made his jumping contingent on an item that makes him jump. And I hate that, it wastes a slot and shouldn't be that big a deal to implement (could make for a new adjunct to gameplay).

Watch it a few more times and the honeymoon will end. It's a fun movie though, but my favorite is the 1st of the series.
I have trouble picking a favorite, while I think the latter two did a DAMN good job as the "next steps" the series, there's hardly room to breath, stuff is always happening (and some bizarre narrative leaps in the 3rd one, most addressed in this really amusing review). But a damn fine series, I'd put my faith in C. Nolan to direct the Care Bears movie and still make it good.

^You know what kind of team also has at least one female member? Super Sentai teams. And just as Super Sentai teams need a Red Ranger to be leader, they also need a Pink Ranger to be the chick/hostage bait.
Hey, sometimes Yellow can be a chick too! It was nice when they finally made a white chick the "yellow" ranger.

Love these Mongoosey

I didn't have any issues with the... ...half hour I played. D: I could see a game like this being tough for the PS3 to output; I'm sure it's loading a lot. Ass Creed was a lot of fun for glitches, I think the amount it loaded caused programming hiccups to happen everywhere.
Do you have an older system, P.R.??
Also, is anyone playing with the PS headphones? Apparently good for the superman-hearing parts of the game.

Then again, Xenoblade Chronicles debuted at E3 yet barely made it to US, so I wouldn't say that anything's set in stone yet.
I'm optimistic Nintendo is interested in it given how barebones the WiiU selection is right now (and let's be honest, Nin's E3 display was.....very, very "safe", nothing too extraordinary or surprising)

I haven't had time to get the album, but "Get Lucky" is all over the radio, and it's very catchy. Plain, but smooth and hard to get sick of. I have to say, just to add to it and even though the film was THAT well received, I loved the hell out of the Tron OST. EDIT: Dammit Swanson!

I must admit. This looks stellar.
Is this actually coming stateside?
It was at E3, so it'd be mean if they didn't (iirc, it was said to be confirmed already).
