[The Real Gamer]

Again. Welcome to my world. I'm almost a year out after graduating with a bachelor's in computer science, a field I want nothing to do with.

Believe me there are TONS of people in this same exact situation... Graduated college with a bachelors in a field they didn't really have a passion for and now are struggling to find work.

This is exactly why I'm taking a year off from college to work and re-evaluate what it is I really want to do. Some of the best advice I've ever gotten in regards to college is that it's NOT a race to finish in 4 years... What actually matters is what you do WHILE you're in college, whether it takes 4 years or 6-7.

[mimgrim]

Okay guys...

Today is my dad's birthday! And I want to do a little something special for him.

So could you just say something along the lines of...

"Happy Birthday Swamp's Dad!"

Pleaes? :3

Sorta kinda late on this.

Buuuuut, better late then never.

And while I'm at at it.

Have a cake too.

On a different note. I got a PS3 today with KH 1.5 as a early B-day gift from my parents. So I'm pretty happy. PS3 also came with Uncharted 3, which I have absolutely 0 interest in, so I'll probably end up selling it.

waaaaat

Dude, Uncharted is actually a solid action/platforming franchise. You're missing out.

Well first of all, it's the third game in the series and I never played the series before. And it doesn't seem like the series you can just pick up in the middle.

Secondly, what I ave seen of the game hasn't impressed me really.

There are just other games I would rather have.

The idea of dropping out for a year to re-evaluate what I want to do came up, but I don't seriously think I would've figured anything out then. I've been trying to do that since I graduated so I'm stuck in a rut really.

I've never been able to answer the question, "What do you want to do when you grow up.". I can remember when I was seven that I was the only one that didn't have any idea.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I spent all of 2009 with no school or job

It was horrible and I got kinda fat.

I got a job in 2010, which I still have today

and I started going to school again in 2012 (Finally)

I pretty much am back in shape now. Being out of work and school got me depressed

Though nowhere near the shape I was in highschool

Edit: It was 2012 I went back to school. I put financial aid info on my 2012 tax return form, that's right

I started playing Uncharted with the third game. The only thing you miss out on is who the characters are but 5 minutes after seeing them you pretty much know all there is to know.

I've only played Uncharted 2. But I very much enjoyed the experience.

Spoiler

My appreciation of the game increased once the whole Shambhala angle was woven in. I'm fascinated by the whole Shambhala/Agharta mythology, so I especially appreciated the final level (though the final boss was nonetheless rather lackluster).

The Uncharted games are basically Tomb Raider if Lara Croft were a guy - heavily focused on platforming/puzzles with secondary shooter elements, lots of tomb raiding and hopping to various exotic locales. It's an Indiana Jones-esque swashbuckling adventure as filtered through a National Treasure-type lens of historical conspiracy and mystery.

If that sort of thing interests you, the Uncharted games might be worth looking into.

Having only played Uncharted 2, I can't say how serialized the series might be (though I wasn't really lost in Uncharted 2 for the most part). I'd imagine that each game has a self-contained adventure, with character threads woven throughout. Perhaps others could vouch for this.

I have never played the Tomb Raider games, so for me it was like playing Prince of Persia Sands of Time with guns and more complex puzzles (almost like the ones you would find in a Zelda game).

Yes each game has a self contained story with the only overarching plot elements thorughout the series being character relationships. The only thing starting in the middle could detract from is...

Spoiler

Sully dying every game

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I'll second the self-contained story bit. I've played through all three games.

I didn't play Prince of Persia, alas. But Uncharted clearly belongs in that whole genre of realist platformers (alongside Tomb Raider and whoever else).

The only truly challenging puzzles in Zelda were many of the Water Temples, I found. XD

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Witch ones are left from brawl?

Items you can choose or items by proxy(for instance, the Apple from Green Greens). Link and Toon Link's bombs are back, and do technically count as Items.

I can answer better if you want more clarification.

http://www.ssbwiki.com/Items That may also help. XD

No problem.

Sakurai sure likes to redesign items (it already got one back in Brawl). Plus the pixels on the blue/white thing is kinda bothering me (hope it get's fixed).

How would you guys react if the next Smash bros game was like Anarchy Reigns and J-Stars Victory Vs for some reason. lol

Oh look, the bomb is now the most threatening Smash bros related items in the game. lol

Eh, still not very interested.

While I like those kinds of movies. When it comes to games I have other interests I prefer a lot more.

Plus it seems like the kind of game that focuses more on stunning cinematic scenes more then the gameplay or what ever. Which helps kills my interest of it, there is a reason why I don't FFX >_>. That and what I've seen of the games have left me unimpressed.

That and everything I've read up on about the games, Uncharted 3 seems to be the least liked one. xD

I just got woken up by an earthquake. It was a 6.0 I believe but tapered off the further from the epicenter. It was 2.0 where I live. It was felt in a pretty wide area.

I heard both my wife's and my phone start buzzing and then heard "Jishin (earthquake)" outside on the loudspeakers. Suddenly the bed started to shake and then the room. It was pretty nuts. I've felt earthquakes at night before but this was surprisingly strong.

Well....I can't fall asleep now :/. Plus I heard there is a chance it might happen again but larger.

#askkojima apparently had Kohima saying he approves of Sakurai using snake again

wonder what this means

Fair enough. You're correct that Uncharted follows the modern (pseudo-)trend of AAA interactive blockbusters, to an extent (lots of cinematic sequences and quick-time events). I'm not opposed to that kind of experience, but as far as Uncharted 2 was concerned, the platforming focus and storyline augmented my enjoyment.
