Alley, turn back while you can.

This game had me on the short road to being single.

 

Meh. I'm already single. Too late to turn back now. I want to see what kind of contract offer I'm going to get and see if they boost me from a No. 5 starter to higher in the rotation.

One part of the game that's frustrating are the no decisions. I've had 10 starts and SIX no decisions. WTF?

 

If you work on developing your stamina you can go later into games.

This is a very kid-friendly game. The girlies don't like it though.

 

Or you can adjust the Gameplay slider on how quick the manager is with the hook.

 

Man, can't believe I missed this part. Thanks to you both.

 

That's a hanging slider if I've ever seen one.

 

Two balls and no strikes.

 

Finally brought GTA IV the other day. After playing a few missions, a few things I didn't like:

1) Getting wedged between things and not being able to get out: I took a really wide turn around a corner and my car got stuck between a wall and lamp post. I couldn't reverse to get out of it nor could I go forward. It took me 5 minutes to get out of it. Also, one of the cabs I was riding got stuck at an intersection because of cars in front of him. I guess the AI was not smart enough to back up and go around.

2) Niko walks extremely slow and also runs slow.

3) Not feeling the hand-to-hand combat. It took me a couple of times to complete the mission where you have to fight off the loan sharks by the projects. I shouldn't have to button mash to pull of a couple of punches and kicks.

 

Just hit the X button when that happens. It warps you to your destination.

 

Just when you think you're really getting good at this game, you suck.

It's going to be the death of me.

 

I'm not doing anything but watching baseball and playing either the PS3 or Wii tonight (having both doesn't make me a loser ... it means my girlfriend lives 100 miles away), so if anyone wants to play an online game of MarioKart of MLB The Show, holler at me.

 

I was getting a new Wii shipped in, and then I went out of town to work for a few days. I'm back in the saddle (with a new Kart number, I think).
