I played the game for hours today but haven't left my RTTS. I made closer for my team and have made 15 out of 15 saves. I made the AA All Star team and was promptly traded to the Reds. I'm hoping I can get out of AA by the end of the season or at the beginning of the next. I'm assuming that since the Reds gave up quite a few players to get me that maybe they are in need of a closer and I'll make it through the system quickly.

Yeah it's very difficult. I've bumped the sliders in my favor until I get the hang of it. I started a RTTS game as a relief pitcher and I got drafted by my favorite team which is pretty cool. Currently bombing around in AA and I'm doing alright. Only given up one earned run, the rest of the runs scored on me were due to errors by my fielders. The pitching is a little odd to get the hang of (I miss MLB 2K7) but I think once I can put more points into my control stats I'll be alright. Very fun game though so far.

I fired up the Show for a little just to do some practice mode, I am so out of it when it comes to baseball games. I think I got two hits out of 60 pitches. Down to the easiest difficulty I go.

I'm really on the fence about Final Fantasy XIII. It looks good and I like the FF games but I just have not played a traditional RPG in 3D that I've liked. It just seems like open generic spaces with weird textures that you run around in trying to find stuff to do. Maybe I'm wrong, actually I hope I am but I'm more temped to just grab Legends of the Seven stars from the Virtual Console.

I absolutely love Baseball Mogul. I've done games starting from the 1900's and going to past present day.

The people who make Baseball Mogul make Football Mogul but it's not free.

Thank you sir.

Can't get my code to work. Maybe it's a bad code or it's just not available in the U.S yet.

Yeah, the blackouts are because of the car accident, but the origami thing is silly. It's a dog, which by sheer coincidence happens to be the killers favourite thing to make? I'm also certain I heard Ethan mention having never done origami before, so it seems a huge stretch to assume he learned it during his blackouts and chose to do exactly what the killer supposedly does. Eh. Yeah, I think a lot of my problems with continuity stem from the fact that my Jayden died at Mad Jacks so I didn't see the scenes where people call cops, or the cops put the evidence together. This is perfectly acceptable. This I don't believe. Maybe I'm just ignorant of the industry, but I can't really believe that a member of the fucking FBI of all things would be publicly known for any small time journalist to pick up on. The captain is questioned on the FBI's involvement, which Jayden can sit in on, but he is never referred to by name, or pointed out to the journalists, so I don't think his identity is something that would be common knowledge. And no, she didn't know he was questioning the families. Shelby wasn't hired by the victims families, he was visiting them to gather whatever evidence they may have had. No one recognises him, there is no mention of him reporting back to the families with his findings, the families that supposedly hire him are never mentioned etc. He even visits three of the families during the game! I think it's most likely a cover, so I figure there must be a way for Madison to meet Shelby beforehand that I've missed out on. Unless things like private investigations and high profile FBI investigations are indeed less confidential that I assume. None of it detracts from the game at all, in my view. The good thing about it is that you are writing the story yourself, it's your game and what happens stays happened. It's much more like real life in that way than a game, and in real life things don't get neatly tied up. No one is omniscient in real life, so things like who lays down the glass are easy to make up your own ideas, but some other things are just a bit of a stretch.

If the DLC is up I'll have to download tonight with my card. I tried using it the other day but it didn't work.

My theories on a couple plot holes...

Jesus Christ. I actually had to stop playing for like ten minutes after that just to calm down. This fucking game.

I finally got around to playing the one that came with District 9. I've never played a God of War game before and I thought it was pretty good. Won't be a buy for me but I'll rent it.

Is anyone else picking up MLB 10: The Show this week? I'm quite looking forward to baseball season and I haven't had a baseball game since 2006 outside of Baseball Mogul. It's a pretty good timing as well since I'm done with Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain. Looks like April and May are going to be busy months though. Glad to get some quality innings in before then.

Just beat Heavy Rain.

My game froze as well, during the part from the demo with Jayden. I haven't had it happen again though and it's been smooth sailing.

Wow this game is tense.

I've gotten a couple hours of playing in. I'm digging it so far but I'm realizing that I can't play it while sleepy as I'm forgetting things left and right. I'll certainly be putting in a lot of playing time today and tomorrow.

From what I heard, you can't actually download the DLC until March 4th. Not sure or not, if no one has confirmed that I'll post again when I fire up my copy later tonight.

Just picked up Heavy Rain and I was able to nab a DLC card. Will be playing all night tonight huddled over my TV in the dark.

Oh man I totally forgot, when I saw RHCP a while ago they had The Mars Volta open for them. Absolutely terrible. They got booed off the stage practically. Then someone set a chair in the arena on fire. Also, when I saw Tool the opening band also got booed off the stage to the point where the singer refused to leave. And if I'm correct that band (Tomahawk) is fronted by Mike Patton. He came out in a George Bush mask and went on some tirade about car washes or something.

The worst I've ever seen was when Emmure came and played a local hardcore show. It's the only band I've ever walked out on. They were so goddamn bad and have gotten worse since then.
