I couldn't give less of a fuck about youtube drama shit. If it turned out Leafy cooked and ate h3h3's wife on Keemstar's twitch stream I still wouldn't give a fuck about this asinine shit.
My job's starting to get routine now. I've been there almost two weeks and they've put me on closing kitchen which is a pretty easy job aside from cleaning out the fryers. I clocked almost 60 hours last week as the lowest seniority employee. Applying as open availability in an understaffed department pays off I guess.
I got a PS3 with my first paycheck and now I'm playing through all the games that were cool five years ago or more. It's kind of confusing going from games that came out a few years ago to games as old as Oblivion, Jesus Christ the last console generation lasted for centuries.
The Last of Us is okay I guess. I'm not buying super into the story but maybe I"m just jaded on zombies. Cordyceps zombies strikes me as really fucking stupid. I would've actually liked it better if it was just some unknown fungus, that'd give it a little more plausibility than That Bug Mushroom You Read About on Cracked.
The gameplay when it's humans is pretty cool, it has that dirty feel I've mentioned occasionally in gaming threads, where it feels desperate and gnarly and random dudes don't act like trained soldiers. Was down to one hit left and just two rounds in my bolt action rifle against one other guy. I couldn't find him so I was creeping around until I managed to flank and tag him with one shot, used the blood and the sound of his panting to track him to the next hiding spot where I took him out. Fun shit.
But against zombies it fucking sucks. I like the way the zombies work in practice but the pure stealth gameplay is straight out of fucking Jedi Outcast. If one zombie spots you the entire zone immediately knows where you are, despite many of them being actually blind. And I say zone because the stealth sections are really obviously sectioned off, where you can have a massive gun battle in one room and then the zombies in the next room apparently didn't hear anything.
Everything outside the combat is pretty dumb too. Maybe I'll get invested in the story at some point but the storytelling is still at the same basic as hell level as every other video game story, just like the telltale games which also get praised for their storytelling. Two people slowly walk somewhere while saying the plot at each other. Intersperse dumbass puzzle sections (press triangle to make the girl get the ladder, or get the ladder yourself and put it where it needs to go, which is five feet away) and an occasionally interesting combat sequence, and there's the game.

I also got uncharted but I feel like there's something wrong with my disk. I figured the game would have a pretty fast pace but right now it's so breakneck I don't know what the fuck is going on. I feel like there are parts of the game missing. We start out on a boat getting a book out of a coffin and then there's pirates, and now some guy named Sully is here and now we're going to El Dorado because the book said so(?!) I feel like this game is trying to do an in medias res thing but it's not working here. I like stories that are told through action instead of through Plot Hallways, but I guess they're not doing enough with the limited time they're giving themselves to make me know what's going on. It feels incomplete.

And UFC Undisputed 3 kicks ass. Sometimes I just want to knock a dude down and then punch him in the face until it's not a face anymore. I didn't like the submission system at first but I think it's as good as such a system's going to get in a video game. The older games like Sudden Impact captured the sudden brutality of submissions by making them a timing-based counter, so you could slip up and be submitted in an instant, but that just meant every match ended by submission in the first round. The minigame makes it feel like pro wrestling but at least there's some room for error and it makes you work for them more. Just getting mount and going for a choke isn't going to do much but wearing him down for a while makes it easier, or you can work for a more effective submission that's harder to pull off.
