Physical test for the military.
It used to be simple things like how many pulls up you can do but they changed it in recent years to adapt possible situations such as having to stack sandbags or carrying an injured buddy out (for this, they make you carry one 20kg sandbag on the shoulder then drag 4, 2 on each hand I'm assuming.)

I think I watched the first episode on Netflix. Wasn't sure what to make of it - been a while since I've tried watching much of any anime.

Last one I started watching, I forget the title now... but it was some girl who had crazy super powers - and was mostly psychotic. Started off with her in some sort of lab, and she broke out because they slipped up on protocol (of course) and she killed basically everyone on her way out.

I think she ended up on a beach, was found by some guy and was acting normal around him - but then the lab people sent some mercenaries to try to kill her and she went psycho again.

Watch dogs is a pretty good game. I am enjoying it so far.

It's an okay game. It's a solid B. This was supposed to be a system selling type grade game though. It's unfortunate because so many other similar open world games do so many aspects of this game better on previous generations. GTAV has better world design, driving etc. Assassin's creed and Infamous are much prettier. Almost all of them do combat better (Batman, GTA). Missions are still the same type of thing like "tail this guy", "run this car off the road" .

It really just comes down to the hacking, which ends up being a mixed bag (at least for me in the early game). It becomes a little tedious to just use the same tactics to raise barriers or explode steam pipes to run guys off the road all time in almost every mission. The camera hacking is really cool to plan your attack.

The karmic aspect makes no ****ing sense. The plot makes no sense in the scope of the game. The atmosphere is weird, the news identifies you by name, yet the cops can't find you or family with the same name? It's so weird. Instead of Chicago accents you hear more subtle french Canadian accents.

There's some cool stuff there but it's just disappointing all in all considering how they marketed it over last couple years and how Ubisoft Montreal has made much better games in the same genre.

I'm stoked for Mario Kart. I'm gonna play that ALLLLLLLLLLL weekend. If anyone is looking for a worthwhile gsme to play on ps4, buy Transistor. If anyone wants a fun game for X1, buy Super Time Force. Both 15 bucks instead of almost 75 for Watch Dogs.

I'm going to pick it up on the way home from work today. I've heard similar things from others.

Thankfully, I never had really high expectations for this game but it does look fun, nevertheless.

Watch_Dogs strikes me as a game where you have to make your own fun

Based on what I saw, the city is indeed very well realized and has a life of it's own so it's up to the player to use it

It's the next step in open world games even if it's as revolutionnary as some might want

I'm going to get for a PC once I have the money to build it; at which point I expect Watch_Dogs to be cheaper on Steam

The FORCE test is really too easy. You'll do fine, cookies.

The cas evac part is sandbags roped together. You pick one up and the rest get dragged along the floor.

WOOOH yeaa. It was pretty darn easy. Just always that first time nervousness.

Past each one and looked good doing it too :D

Just so happy I got it over with and first time shivers out of the way.

I really hope I get in, really need this.

The city doesn't have a lot of character considering it's a real city with so much character. It's kinda bland compared to other games. The stuff that adds character to the city is mostly reading other people's texts which is generally just people's filthy sex stories.

If you're getting the PC version you'll be well set to wait considering it's current reported problems And Price. Hopefully you'll have an NVIDIA card as well instead of AMD which they purposely removed visual features from Because of their partnership

Sounds a lot like Elfen Lied, it wasn't the greatest in my opinion, AoT is a lot better.
