Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

Damn my friends!

You all know that I have a kid and that being a Dad is the greatest thing I've ever experienced, but man do I miss game time.

I'm a big single player fan and have been trying to fully replay Jade Empire again and the amazingly badass Just Cause 2. This is hard to do because I have a lot less time for games and I seem to always be incredibly tired my 12am now. To further perpetuate the problem I've been having a great time playing ODST Firefight with my friends!

I want to play my SP games so bad with the little time I can squeeze in, but I can't miss out on the fun of playing with you guys.

So damn you all!

    Stay up past 8pm and you can play too or does the retirement community have a "lights out" policy?

    You never call, you never write anymore. I can feel us drifting apart.

    In other news....
    As brjahu continues to wait for that call, he forcefully chugs through FFXIII all while keeping a trashcan close by as he constantly fights off the urge to vomit from all the fluff.

    Honestly, I'm really glad you're playing that before me.

    What's great is that I know you'll finish it because that's you. You can't not play a game after you've bought it.

    A new genre of crap for sure. I just dont understand. The worst part about it is that young chic... whatever her name is. I'm fed up with her happy-go-lucky, everything is grand attitude as well as her constant giggling, moaning, grunting, whayever you call it sounds she makes. Aaaaahhhhh! Im getting angry just thinking about it. I should get some award for completing this garbage. Im 5hrs in and probobly have another 82 to go since the whole game is an effing cutscene.

    Yeah, seriously... a lot more story and way less fighting than other games, but considering the battle system is crap, I don't know if that's good or bad, haha. That girl was pretty annoying, I forget her name. I put about 18 hours into it and got to a boss that I couldn't beat and I just gave up. How can you go back and grind for some levels when there aren't even any levels? And I absolutely hated the battle system to begin with so it was only a matter of time before something made me quit.

    If you trudge through and beat, you definitely should earn some reward.
