It's important for me, but I'm in the minority that really wants my game to have local multiplayer. Every time I snap up a game that I want to play, the first question my wife asks when I get home is "is it two-player?" More often than not, the answer is no. She was really upset when I brought home Saint's Row the Third.

@Flaboere: If you go to the House of Ballads throne room, she's just chilling out there. She says some stuff about regaining glory for the house and beating the Tuatha, but as far as quests or other content, that seems to be it.

Button mashing is your enemy. Also, this seems like bad design.

Unless you are in Reckoning Mode (hell, yeah). Then you are supposed to hammer the hell out of those buttons for max experience.

I probably would have caught that, if I hadn't skipped the last bit of text in the effort to kill her. That's the irritating part; I don't know what she said or what my options were. Besides, I don't really thing she had much freedom, being under the influence of that crystal. Plus the fact that I had to mow down the entire court of ballads, who she had brainwashed, doesn't help her case much.

I was going through the House of Ballads questline today, and took it all the way to the final showdown with the Maid of Windmyre. The whole time, I was as threatening as possible, choosing the "I'm going to kill you" option whenever she showed up. I got in battle with her, and towards the end, activated Reckoning Mode (guitar squeal). I beat her the rest of the way down and prepped for the camera shift that comes with the special kill. What I didn't know was that there was going to be more dialogue at the end. I was already hitting buttons when some options came up. Next thing I know, she's telling me how alike we are, and how she'll prepare things for our future. I chased her around the hall swinging my chakrams, but it didn't matter.

So, yeah. I gave the entire House of Ballads over to the bad guy. I think I'm her lover as well.

Finesse/Sorcery using faeblades and chakrams. I initially wanted to go pure stealth, but then I found some badass chakrams and faeblades and never looked back.

You wrote down what I was going to... word for word.

That's pretty much how I'm rolling, too. I do have a pretty large amount of points in might, though. The +1 to all skills that comes with those destiny cards is too good to pass up.

I despise the damn things. I'v already spent a big chunk of change to remove curses.

To quote Patton Oswalt, "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of MY DICK SCREAMING!"

I feel worse about the ones I've barely started. I haven't completed a lot of the games that I started, but I'm still finished with them. But the ones I haven't started, like Magicka, I feel like I haven't given them their due time to at least see if I want to continue.

If you get rid of pennies you are costing charities hundreds of dorrar.

That's another major issue. I remember talking to a marine who said they don't use pennies on military bases abroad. Costs too much to ship them.

Completely true. They round up or down according to the price. Theoretically, it's supposed to all even out. Still bugs me when they round up. That's my money, dammit!
