Is it wrong that I have no idea what any of that really means?

I like games and all just never got around to WoW.

I can't get into games like WoW either. I have an issue with having to pay to play a game I already paid for.

You have to keep paying?

Huh, I think I'd rather chase the dragon with Randy.

Any fans of the Silent Hill franchise here?

I just started playing the newest game and it is everything I expected and more.

Yes, me!  I've been a huge fan of all the Silent Hill games since the very first one.  I pre-ordered Downpour but haven't had the time to start it yet, it's still sitting on my shelf.  Glad to hear you're enjoying it.  Everything I've seen and heard about it so far makes me pretty sure I will too.

I've played maybe an hour total so far on my 46" HDTV ... Excellent!

Coming across some problems now. The game saves automatically quite often but I have had issues with it saying its saving but it doesn't actually save.  A quick search online and it turns out this is a problem for many people.

Very annoying.

Oh oh, that's not good.    I haven't run into that yet, but I'm not that far into it.  What part did you start experiencing this problem at?

Anyone else really into mass effect 3's multiplayer?  It is really addictive killing hordes of enemies in an effort to earn your next spectre pack!

I guess the appeal is you live in a fantasy world, but man, I just can't commit my life to something like that.

Yeah, it does take time to play, but with the changes they made, it's easier for the casual gamer to go play for a couple hours now. Before there was a lot more time dedication needed to play.

There is a subscription monthly fee, it's $15/month (if you pay monthly) and gets cheaper is you pay for more months up front... Doesn't xbox live cost money? I can see why they have to charge though, I'm sure it's a nightmare to maintain all the servers and like 10 million people playing worldwide (or however many people are still playing)

I don't know how to explain without spoiling stuff.

This is the workaround I've found. During your game you can pause and choose load game and see the last saved point without actually loading the game.  If its there it's saved.

Sometimes I look at it and the last saved point is 10 or 15 minutes old even though the save icon was on screen just a minute earlier.

Thanks for not spoiling anything, I never really thought about that when I asked.  I am familiar with that load screen and will check it every once in a while to make sure it's saving.  Thanks!  I'm loving the game so far, it kind of reminds me of the original game in some ways.  I think it's cool how Murphy reacts to some of the strange things he's seeing & hearing too.

I like the way you can slowly open a door and peek inside.

I've never played a soccer game in my life, but I've played MLB12:The Show almost every day since it was released.

He'll stop playing just because he's hungry?

Wimp.
