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

That's the name!
I'll give AoT a try though. Need a break from random Marvel and DC cartoons in the morning when I'm getting ready for work.

Long days are terrible. When I was at the radio station I was regularly doing 12-hour days and was completely drained. More than that just seems like such an impossible concept.

Although, staying up until 12:26 a.m. doesn't help. What the hell, Manked? :laugh:

Anyone in here play The Wolf Among Us or The Walking Dead? I swear, Telltale Games has a lifelong customer out of me (although they had me hooked with Sam 'n' Max, these two games vaulted them to the top of my favourite game devs list.)

I recently drove 16 hours across Canada by myself, I couldn't believe how draining it was. Having to spend that much time doing something every day sounds horrible.

I've played both and have got to agree with you, Telltale has really been knocking them out of the park lately.

Wow, that's a long roadie to take all by your lonesome. At least it gives you an opportunity to blast the iPod and sing obnoxiously loudly. :D

Definitely. It'd be nice if they could cut down the wait time between episodes, but if that's the biggest complaint I think we're doing alright. Since picking them up, I've also grabbed the TWD comics, the Fables series, and I'm in the middle of a TWD re-play with different choices.

I had no idea how awesome games could be with choices until I played Mass Effect for the first time, and since then games that don't have at least some form of decision-making leave me wanting more.

I think someday I'd like to get a rental and go all around - especially to restaurants from DDD. I love those youtube videos of people driving interstates from like Boston to Chicago.

I'm in :nod:

Should I pick up South Park or Watch Dogs? I wanna get them both soo baaad, but only 1 for now :(

South Park. Hands down.

I'm actually pretty disappointed in Watch_Dogs. It's... okay. But it's incredibly average and very cookie-cutter. I guess my expectations were higher than I thought.

South Park: TSoT is hilariously fun. Highly recommended.

My craziest road trips have been:
a) 2.5 day trek across the US to Vancouver from Ontario with a friend (non stop driving basically just swapping seats).
b) Drive by myself down to the Arkansas/Oklahoma border to visit some friends, think it took me about 22h total with rest stops included. The trip back took a detour through Mississippi to Alabama to visit some friends there too. So the return was more like 16h.
c) Weekend trip with the (ex) gf to Maryland/Delaware border - think that one again was 9h+ each way.
d) Drove up by myself for Game 6 OTT-NYR (6h each way), then back that same night... two hours before I get picked up to catch a flight from Pearson to Heathrow, and go into work the morning that I landed. I'm 0-2 now when attending potential elimination games in Ottawa (the other was Game 7 vs NJD)

I still want to do a proper drive across Canada out to Vancouver and take my time doing so... or maybe I'll just save up and do the continental train trip. :)

I bicycled to upstate NY. Hung out with the Cistercians there for a bit.

Must draw upon my reserve self-mortification powers tonight to endure a poliical debate instead of lounging at home in my sweats watching hockey.
