    I enjoy the game. If you can pick it up on sale for $5 I'd say grab it. It's mostly the storyline and the characters.
    Not that there is tons of character development on most of the characters, but it's a fun, silly game that actually has a no-so-silly storyline; all while not taking itself seriously at all. I 've it an 8-9/10

    Also, I figured out streaming. Turns out my RATHER NEW i5 4670k OVERCLOCKED can't handle 1080p 60fps video. I bumped it down to 1080p 45fps but kept bitrate at 25,000kbps and it's working fine. Uploading a video.

    Also it still doesn't look super nice. Maybe I should increase bitrate more? It's recording as a .MP4 using x254 (which I should have a hardware encoder for.)

    Also, I should be streaming now on twitch.
    EDIT: Nevermind. I can't get a good connection to any of twitch's servers.

    So, Super Bowl commercials. Time to pick the best and the worst.

    For me, the worst has to be a toss-up between Mountain Dew and Rocket Mortgage. Mountain Dew had that awful "puppymonkeybaby" commercial which had very, very little to do with Mountain Dew and was so weird and surreal that I half suspected it had some kind of subliminal message. My mother thinks its intention is to get people used to satanic human-animal hybrids. Knowing Pepsico, neither one would surprise me very much.

    Quicken Loans/RocketMortgage just spewed toxic doses of Keynesian idiocy and basically asked the viewer to help them create Housing Bubble Mk.II. That commercial hurt my soul. Sometimes I can tell myself that I miss the glittery-golden atmosphere of the mid-2000s, but after seeing that commercial, somehow I just can't.

    Jeep gets an honorable mention for its epically patriotic, manly-man commercial that somehow utterly fails to mask the fact that they're not really an American company anymore.

    I've also been reminded of a couple others - the profoundly annoying "avocados from Mexico" advertisement, and the Axe commercial that, in the words of a conservative news site, "urged teens to “Find Your Magic” and celebrate uniqueness and diversity rather than the traditional tropes of masculinity." "Uniqueness" and "diversity" usually mean nothing good, and the whole commercial came off as a celebration of metrosexual teenybopper types, also profoundly annoying. Rounding out the "profoundly annoying" list is the commercial trying to guilt us into using less water because some places don't have water - me turning the faucet off while I brush is not going to help someone in Africa get more clean water, the two systems aren't connected.

    For me, the best, though I think I forgot a lot of good ones, had to be the Audi commercial with the old astronaut. Doritos gets an honorable mention for getting NARAL to lose its mind over something of absolutely no significance.

    Not a lot of funny or really good ones this year, but a lot of painfully stupid ones. Careerbuilder always delivered, too bad they're not doing Super Bowl commercials any more. What happened to them anyway?

    They are really comfortable and sound great (IMO). The mic, apart from being pretty quiet, is good aswell. 3 year warrenty is also pretty neat.

    You can really tell you're a man when you turn 20. When you stub your toe you only cry for fifteen minutes rather than twenty.

    *edit*

    Music is great for when you're down, it really helped my during my worst moments of depression. Takes your mind of things and lets you drift into a different world.

    If the statistic is true, there are about 9 times more pirates than there are legit owners.

    They must be stopped, immediately. The devs put their time and effort into this great game, and people just pirate it. The devs are losing tons of money by having people pirate it. Money the devs can use for them selves, or to develop the game.
