I don't plan on playing any 3D games anyway because 3D gives me headaches. The 2DS, from what I hear, is supposed to be cheaper and more durable.

[Shane for Wax]

The 2DS is being made for kids, is what I heard. The ones who shouldn't be exposed to 3D just yet and it's more durable than the 3DS where snapping it in two is concerned.

It's a decent idea, but it's so clunky. I'd never want it if I were into handhelds.

Actually, if you want to believe people who have already tried it, it's quite comfortable to hold.

[Sleepy]

Depends on your hands, I suppose. I can't stand Wii U's game pad, for instance, but other people are fine with it. And I don't like the size of it in general, as a hand-held (since it doesn't fold).

Just re-played Bioshock: Infinite, and something about the ending is starting to annoy me.

So when Booker didn't become baptised, he became a raging alchoholic willing to sell his daughter, but if he does, he becomes an over the top xenophobe who commands a floating city? Srsly?

You're oversimplifying it into "The baptism turned him crazy." Booker was already on the edge of reason when he was given the opportunity for a baptism, thanks to the atrocities he committed at Wounded Knee taking a massive toll on his mind. In the world where he rejected the baptism, he was already a raging alcoholic and was rejecting a chance for redemption; he simply continued in his downward spiral. In the world where he took the baptism, he went too far (not unlike a nutty born-again Christian) and likely began rationalizing his actions at Wounded Knee to explain away why he murdered so many Natives.

So the other day I got Brütal Legend for $4.99 on steam the other day and today I played about an hour of it and oh my gods I am in love with this game (also I got Animal Crossing New Leaf but that's not as METAL.)

Same here, though the random RTSness is kinda odd. But I'm commanding an army of headbangers who weaponise mosh pits, punk rockers with guns made from boars and healers with choppers with giant bass harps on them, so it evens out.

[Witchyjoshy]

Actually you can blame the executives/marketing department for the RTS being random.

The makers originally wanted to market the RTS/Multiplayer factor right up front, but the executives/marketing department wanted to play up the Hack'n'Slash/Singleplayer more.

It's a pity.

[Dakota Bob]

Just tried out a Wii U that was on display, and holy fuck the gamepad is comfy as fuck, even for its size. With the incoming price drop and more games it'll start to look pretty good to me.

[IanC]

I find it really comfy too, even when im playing for a long while. Just wish the battery life was better.

The Wonderful 101 is just as the name says, wonderful. Controls took a little bit to "get" but once they did they work really well.

[Sleepy]

Project Zomboid is super awesome, and it's only in alpha. Definitely a good investment for less than $10.

[ironbite]

Borderlands 2 is surprisingly....fun.

Ironbite-despite what Yatzhee said about it

[Commissar Kaz]

I actually like the idea of the 2DS, not because I'd use it, but because my friend can, who is a little bit more strapped for cash than I am and can't actually see the 3D due to eye problems.

I also just bought the Humble Paradox Bundle for the both of us and will be looking forward to playing Magicka and Europa Universalis III.
