Mojo has been gearing up for the 'Four Nations' tournament in BF3 so he's been an absentee co-op partner lately. But I managed to drag him over today and we got a good few hours into our second playthrough on Dead Island.

I'd forgotten what a shitpile that game was. We had over a dozen console freezes between us, retarded lag (on LAN…), enemies teleporting through walls (one that we needed to kill for a story mission…). After one cut-scene I spawned under a truck and was killed instantly and the hit-boxes for enemies seem to be decided on the role of a dice.

We're about halfway through Act II and so far we've only found one Exceptional Weapon between us so we could actually be staring down the barrel of a full second playthrough as we need another four…

Allthough I think it's going to be a week of shit games. Myself and gr8jrfan have decided to go for the Resistance 2 plat and I tried a bit of the SP to get back into it. Holy crap but whatever idiot decided that both run and crouch should work off the same button deserves death! You wouldn't mind if every other button was used up but in the control mapping there's actually a slot left empty!!

@Doc

What are those goys like for CEs? Do they have weight limits when delivering abroad?

I didn't even have to open this thread to know what was coming.

Every time I see a new topic by you with only one post it costs me money!!

@Zeziman

Have you had bad experiences with the slims? I've one of mine since they were launched and it's never given me any trouble. I haven't heard of any real issues with them but I've had four 60GB fatboys die on me.

Apart from some levelling in Resonance of Fate, I've been quiet on the Playstation front. But my Diablo III arrived today (Collector's edition of course) and I spent the morning on that. It's been ages since I played a proper dungeon crawler so I'm looking forward to something new. 

And I must say, while WoW is a blight on gaming, Blizzard's standards are pretty sweet. Both D3 ans Starcraft II before it have been polished beauties.

Oh for fcuk sake. I've been trying to buy a clothes dryer for the last six months but every time I turn around there's something waaaay cooler to spend the money on. 

Better pull the clothes stand back out of the press…

Another day off poured into the PS3 in the shape of some more Resonance of Fate. Slow progress being made as the difficulty spikes mean lengthy boutes of leveling up. It's a bit of a pain because during the course of normal story progression there aren't enough battles to earn the XP needed to hold your own. I've had to grind in the arena and it's the most sleep inducing part of the game. 

Still, I'm up to chapter four now with all Hunter Board missions (side quests) done so far. I've customed the crap out of my guns and even bothered to mess around with my characters outfits. Combat is now honed to a plan of attack rather than winging it and I've broadened the range of items I use. 

But all that aside I still haven't a clue about the plot…
