One of my hard drives that I use to store games has died. I assume that was the drive’s way of protesting Max Payne 3’s file size. So it looks like I will be ordering a new one to replace it. Too bad Hard Drive prices are stil inflated for no reason. At least my other 4 drives are working fine.
Congratulations to Max Payne 3 for dethroning Star Wars: The Force Unleased in the category of games with extremely large file sizes for no apparent reason. I was hoping to get in some gameplay time with it tonight but it looks like its not going to happen at this point. The download size off of Steam is just a little bit short of 30GB. Just to put how absurd that is in perspective, a game like Skyrim is around 6GB and my entire World of Warcraft folder (expansions and all) is 23GB.
The Humble Indie Bundle V is out today, and I already picked up my copy. This is easily their best one yet, with Bastion, Amnesia, Psychonauts, Limbo, and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery. I already had copies of Psychonauts and Amnesia (both amazing games), but the bundle was still worth it to get Bastion and Limbo. Make sure you take advantage of this.

I show up about an hour and seven minutes into the video below. I was actually in a few earlier games, but I was out of it so I took a break to get something to eat. I started doing much better when I came back in, although I was not at the top of my game. Its been a while since I last played Ascend due to Battlefield 3 and Diablo III taking up most of my gaming time. Still, there were a few cool moments and I had some pretty good KDRs, if not the top scores, in every match. Make sure you catch the epic orbital strike at 1:43:40.
I helped him out with that last cap right there. He was going in for the cap and I said the flag was secure. When the flag is off of the stand and someone says that it is secure, it generally means they have the flag out in the field but they are not going to return until you are ready to cap. I guess he didn’t know that, so he didn’t go straight to the stand. When I noticed he passed the stand I returned the flag. Thankfully he was able to cap it for the win. After the match, he sent me a code for some free Tribes Gold at the end there. Pretty awesome!
