Quick writeup on this one because I just finished it.

It was a fun game, overall. I didn't pay a lot of attention to the story, but it seems you are tricked into triggering an infestation of necromorph-looking monsters into the Mars colonies. You need to survive and then kill the invasion, as well as some cult dudes who support the monsters.

The structure of the game was a bit of a disappointment after Red Faction: Guerrilla, which had a fun open world where you could destroy tons of buildings. Armageddon has fun destruction, but not at the scope of its predecessor. This was more of a linear shooter with a bit of destruction.

The weapons are fun and you have a variety. My favorite was

I'm playing Dragon's Age: Inquisition and keep finding those puzzles that are basically hand-drawn maps showing a location that you have to find. I remember this kind of thing being in Red Dead Redemption as well, and I just totally suck at them. Can never seem to find the locations.

Which leads me to the question - what puzzle do you struggle with the most in games?

This is on sale through Xbox for $12.50. My friend and I were looking for a new coop game and figured we'd try this one.

It uses the Sniper Elite 3 engine, but the gameplay is quite different. In SE3 there's an emphasis on stealth, and even if you're discovered, you engage enemies from afar who are taking cover. In ZAT you're faced with swarms of zombies and have to be more dynamic.

For weapons, you have a sniper rifle, a secondary weapon (submachine gun, shotgun, etc) and a pistol. You also have various explosive traps you can set to deal with the swarms. And grenades, of course. Finally, there is a kick move to give you some space.

There are a variety of enemies. The standard zombies

For me it's RPGs where you manage a party. I just got Dragon's Age: Inquisition. Really enjoy it, but I'm hitting parts where it's getting more and more complex.

I keep getting more and more options to add to my party. But then I get paralyzed by decisions. Who do I add? Do I stick with one character of a type, or try to switch them out and level them all up?

Then there's equipment management. Realizing I didn't equip/upgrade armor after getting wrecked in combat. But also just hitting battles I can't win (like those ridiculous demons that shoot ice and solo my entire party.)

Contrast this to Shadow Warrior, which I just finished: just going from area to area and slaughtering demons.

Very small annoyance, but often when I go to search, the phone "thinks" for several seconds, then says "reddit: 503 service unavailable."

This happens enough to be irritating, but not 100% of the time.

Anyone else a fan of hangover sex?

There's something about waking up and feeling like crap, but temporarily alleviating it with some good ol' fashioned banging.

Unfortunately, my wife does not feel the same in general, though she's humored me from time to time. And now that we have a kid the window to have it is much narrower.

Edit: I'm referring to light to moderate hangovers, not full on puking or anything

Ok, this is late 90s or 2000s, a comic I saw in a physical newspaper - may have been the physical version of The Onion, or a local paper. A comic similar to Red Meat but not that.

The specific one I'm looking for is a 3-frame one where it's 2 guys sitting at a table. The first one says "My wife spends too much on clothes." There is a frame of them looking at each other, then the last frame is the other guy saying "My wife crushes my soul."

So I dusted off my virtual copy of GoW and decided to play it through again. Only on Hardcore difficulty.

Can. Not. Beat. Raam. No idea how people can do it on Insane.

I've read all the faqs and everything. Torque bow, Longshot, grenades, etc.

Finally gave up when that glitch happened where he got caught on the environment. I emptied the torque and longshot into his head, ran out of ammo, and he was still alive. Guess I'm getting too old for this!
