I skimmed that, and at first I thought you said you had a Lamborghini. I was impressed until I read more slowly. :)

I hate collectables and I refuse to collect them. I'm not going to complete this game.



I'm dealing with the same shit right now with Wolverine. I really hate collectables too, but if they're on the map...

Anyways, imagine how shitty the xmen/ captain America movies would have been if the main character had to wander around picking shit up for 2 hours. I wish game developers would keep that shit in mind when they put this crap in their games.

I think it would be a lot easier and fun if instead of collectibles you had to do something like 'make 100 rescues' or 'send 100 bad guys to jail' or even better 'throw 100 bad guys through 100 windows'. :D

Right now what really REALLY grind my damn gears is how idiots have to smoke pot to play a damn game. Seriously get a life its a game no need for drugs, no need for stupidity like that, and it offends me cause something happen cause of a friend. I hate it and hey if they want something to do to help that its called "BITE THE BULLET!!"
That and the super sensitivity in games that allows for shotgun shells to go out their ass instead of the barrel of the damn gun.

I enjoy a crisp can of the finest malt liquor $3 can buy on the weekend, but it is by no means mandatory for gameplay (Just kidding, I actually like White Russians). But seriously, here's something grinding my gears: I'm finding that I have to constantly keep referring to a dang guide just to get through a game. I don't know how I did it before the Internet.

Ugh. I planned to pay down my credit card with my next pay check (Friday)... well they just sent me this past month's statement, and the CC interest pushed me $10 over my limit... fuuuuck. Can't wait for my over limit charge :\

Edit: Except now that I look at it, it makes no sense. My statement (May 7th) balance was $100 lower than my limit, yet my current balance is $10 over... when I haven't been using my cc. Wtf.

By hitting up your library and checking out the guide book.

Me on the other hand, resorted to the use of Gameshark.

Usually I don't need to - like I said, I'm not sure why it even charged me like it did, because I was $100 under my limit, and I am seeing my purchase interest as $50... so if anything, I should be $50 under... I'm going to call my bank today, because this makes no sense at all.
