I rented Army of Two and it's awesome. I enjoy almost every aspect except the pulling up of partners because it's annoying getting the exact location right. Pimping out your weapons is fucking great. I have after one day of playing...

Mostly upgraded HK36
Completely upgraded FELIN-2C (Pimped included)
Completely upgraded M92 ELITE II (Pimped Included)
Mostly Upgraded MP5k
P90...just for the hell of it. And the achivement.
4 masks bought.
Pimped M107 LIGHT 50.
Standard M14 - cuz it sucks and I can't rid myself of it.

Army of Two actually looks like a frigg'n awesome game. The aggro stuff seems really cool and makes me want to get it... I just don't have a partner, heh (basically ruins the game if you don't, IMO)

I don't know why, but I'm having sooo much more fun with Mass Effect this playthrough than any other one I did. Maybe it's that I can enjoy the game more, more than my first playthrough, and I can actually stand the class I chose for a harder difficulty (Infiltrator, although it seems really similar to soldier the way I'm playing it).

Plus I was going for the rich achievement, 1 million credits, and when I went to sell my stuff I went all the way up to 2 million... I think it's that I've been playing it a lot longer than my first playthrough (and i'm only like 1/2 to 3/4ths of the way through the game) so I'm just making a ton more money on everything than I used to.

EDIT: By the way, the Bring Down the Sky DLC (finally got my character to a spot where it's probably good to do it) is actually really sweet. Some parts are annoying (having to cross tons of space on that asteroid on the Mako) but fighting the Batarians is sorta funny in a way. Plus I'm finding incredible items left and right... Worth the $5, I say.

EDIT: Heh, did I mention I've been basically playing this game practically non-stop for the past 4 days, the only breaks are basically school, sleep, and eating. It's just that fun to me.

My first playthrough was 17 hours I think...So 4 days is a lot more...

Anyway, I gotta try get back into it. I don't like the beginning of the game all too much, so I gotta get past it with a good class.

I'm probably overdoing it, but I just got 4GB of 533MHz laptop memory for my crappy lappy, and I REALLY hope in improves my framerates so they might go to 20FPS in HL2 (or at least not crash when I look at a missle shot from a tank). That would be the best thing ever. And it better happen, for the $55 bucks I paid for it. Now hurry up and ship.

Nah, 4 days isn't my playtime, it's at like 22 hours or so at the moment.

Florida shuts down Jack Thompson. He can no longer file cases on his own, as a lawyer. To do so he will have to find another lawyer to file them under. Essentially, Jack Thompson's career is over, unless he can find someone dumb enough to let him ruin their career. This is hopefully a foreshadowing of his disbarment case.

No, it was way to simple, just to see if I could utilize what I learned. But I do have a math class I have been working on in C#.
