If I ever become a TV executive and JJ Abrams comes to me with a TV pitch, I’m going to sit back, puff on my cigar, and say “Tell me exactly how this series ends and why that’s the best possible payoff for people who would watch this show over its run on my network, or I will have security shoot you as you leave the lobby.”

Sonic Rob: so: Oblivion, or After Earf?
Sig Fem Seks: Oblivion for sure
Sonic Rob: just because you like Elder Scrolls?
Sig Fem Seks: After Earf is M Night
Sonic Rob: between that and 2 members of the Smith family being in it
Sig Fem Seks: Also, that.
Sonic Rob: Tom Cruise’s Career Keeps Sinking Into Oblivion
Sig Fem Seks: Oblivion Obliterates Box Obffice
Sonic Rob: After Earth: Life in the Smithpocalypse
Sonic Rob: M. Night Sham
Sonic Rob: holy crap, does Will Smith die in the first shot of that trailer?
Sonic Rob: ok, you lost me at “wing suit”
Sonic Rob: I just hate those things
Sig Fem Seks: but
Sig Fem Seks: Far Cry 3 has a wing suit
Sonic Rob: NO
Sonic Rob: so does Blops
Sonic Rob: wing suit is the new bloom
Sig Fem Seks: It’s so awesome in Far Cry 3
Sig Fem Seks: it’s like Prototype style
Sig Fem Seks: use it as a fast travel basically
Sonic Rob: man, we are just convinced the world is ending, eh?
Sig Fem Seks: I guess so!
Sig Fem Seks: I can’t wait to see what happens on the 21st
Sig Fem Seks: not disasters, but people
Sonic Rob: there’s gonna be a lot of suicide
Sig Fem Seks: There’s gonna be a lot of free sex

Sig Fem Seks: Story: Dishonored is the story of Corvo Smith, a supernatural assassin living in a near future past city called Ratsburg. Ratsburg has become overrun with giant killer rats, and Corvo is recruited by a secret organization called “The Skeleton Masks” to kill the city guards he can find, who continue to fuel the rat infestation with their poor sanitation habits. Corvo is hunted by the game’s antagonist, Spymaster Killgallon, who will stop at nothing to stop and capture Corvo so that he may use his supernatural powers to make the Queen of Ratsburg fall deeply in love with him. Corvo must ultimately decide between helping rid the city of these pests by using his powers to murder those who oppose him, or use his abilities to make the Queen fall in love while remaining stealthy and reserved. When the ghost of Corvo’s wife appears to him in the middle of the night, Corvo must make the most important decision of his life.
Sonic Rob: Strategy tip: Acquiring too much honor through doing good deeds will lose Corvo his Dishonored status, ending the game. If you find yourself unable to assassinate your underage orphan targets, make sure to regularly visit Rape Alley to keep your honor in check.

Hey Sonic-

I think our respective game playing time budgets can be surmised from the fact that in 13 days from the last post I have managed to watch three of the trailers.

The only game I can reasonably expect to play out of this season’s crop is Assassin’s Creed III. I am all about stabbing and sneaking. We’ve been with the series from the beginning and I find it engaging. When they mess with history I feel a bit stroppy but I’ll get over it.

Speaking of stabbing people in the throat, Dishonored looks promising. I really enjoyed Bioshock and I’m a sucker for atmosphere. Throw in the rat minions and I’m sold.

I’ve never delved into FarCry/Crysis and I’m not likely to start now. Same for Resident Evil. I’m not into scary things so I’m going to pass on this one.

The Leatherworker will be well pleased to try out the new XCom, being an officianado of the original series. Don’t know if he’ll kitchen to a reduced difficulty. That was part of the charm, as far as I could tell.

I can’t believe you did a Midnight thing for Black Friday.  No savings are worth that. The ROI just isn’t there. If you do it again can you get me a copy of Darksiders?
