I've found the metro UI style to be like a puzzle piece that doesn't quite fit for a lot of programs UI's. Other style could get the information needed across much better, it's why I still have W7.

I have W7 because "muh privacy," and I'll have to use Linux once all software isn't compatible anymore.

It is seriously frustrating how it seems like every piece of software wants to be usable on a goddamn tablet or phone, and is therefore built like a Fischer Price GUI.

I liked the actual expansions they did for Fallout 4, but Bethesda usually does DLC very well, and Fallout 4 was a step below their usual efforts. I had fun with Far Harbor and Nuka World, but I remember being much more impressed with Dawnguard, or any of the other Fallout 3 expansions they did.

Yeah, no argument here. Fallout 4's DLC was far below what could be considered quality, I just happened to be okay with it because I enjoyed the building.

Didn't you know that gaming on anything else than a mobile device is for losers?

Seriously though, whoever comes up with these kind of ideas deserves a punch to the face whenever they are brought up during meetings. It's like they're trying to make things as inconvenient and annoying as possible while maximizing the amount of clicks needed to get anywhere.

My new computer has finally arrived at the local postal office and available for pickup. The bad thing is that it weighs about 22,8 glorious kilograms and the only car I can use is not at home. Some deity out there is being such a cock-tease.

It's literally the only thing she knows she wants. She contacted the boss repeatedly to get us out to the house this week, before she started moving in, we get there today, look around, and she's not there yet. She stayed at her old house, where we had just visited, for over an hour while she took a shower. Then she gets there, and she doesn't know what colors she wants, what she does or doesn't want painted, and so on.

But those kitchen cabinets, by God, _must be painted_.

We're going to try and use a sprayer on low pressure for the doors, which should cut a ton of time out of it if the product works.

How often does a game win you over time, where it was rocky at the start? I bought Battlefront last year, because I was riding on Episode VII's hype, and the game was a mixed bag with more cons than pros. I dropped it after only a few weeks, and have not touched it in about a year. Because Rogue One was so good, I needed more big battles alongside my Star Wars, and picked up Battlefront again. The season pass was on sale for relatively cheap and I took the bait, and so I have been playing it a lot ever since.

I am impressed with how much they added since launch, and how they balanced several very broken weapons and abilities. Battlefront still has its flaws, be they many, but I admit I am having much more fun with it than I did Battlefield 3 or 1. It still needs to be on record that the game on launch deserved all of the backlash it got, and they sold us only half of the game.

I'd say it depends on the damage done with the first impression. I played Mass Effect 3 a lot, but I never touched the singleplayer until the expanded ending DLC came out. Even then, I didn't feel like playing through it again and only came back to do DLCs.

Funny how this whole thing revolves around most EA titles.

Sadly, most games that I play tend to go the opposite route of having really alluring content/concepts at the start, but rarely follows through with them or falls down the well of boring repetition because the developers probably didn't know how to improve on that initial concept.

I heard that Final Fantasy XII is supposed to get better after about 20 hours, which is just too much for me. I won't waddle through that much muck on the off-chance that it might get better at one point.

That is true. Metroid has always done better in the West than back in Japan. North America and Europe are were Samus is most popular.

Truly, the golden years of being a Metroid fan was the Gamecube-Advance-Wii era, as we got three amazing 3D games in the form of the Prime Trilogy, plus two 2D games in the form of Fusion and Zero Mission, all helping flesh out the universe in addition to being their own fun adventures, with little waiting time between releases.

Among other objectives, Other M was supposed to raise Metroid's popularity in Japan. Not only was that goal a failure, it also alienated and angered most of the fans in the West in the process, as myself and others have talked about at length, doing even more harm, and resulting in another Metroid famine, outside of a and a Smash Bros appearance and a lame multilayer spinoff no one wanted or played. DAMN YOU OTHER M!!!!!!

Field report: If you're going to do some do-it-yourself painting, and you put tape on your radiator since it's actually rather tricky to cut a straight line, please remove the tape from the heating source before, say, a decade passes. Because the guy who follows you, and has to paint the radiator, gets really, really mad.

And then, if you spend all day at the job site, having all your friends and some very attractive relatives over (Seriously, this chick was in her 30's, her tits were all but hanging out, and she was constantly looking me up and down while I was being all manly with the 18" roller) to give their opinions, please actually have a final color choice for the fucking interior, gaaaaah.

But if you bring us pizza, I'll like you anyway.
