Own it. And I agree.
I want one for my handheld though.

Aquarius looks interesting but there is absolutely no way that it is better than every Metroid and/or Castlevania game. _________________

So as if driving specifically to prove my point, yesterday driving home the guy in front of me noticed the cops on the side of the road with a speedgun. He immediatly slammed on his breaks and I almost ran up his arse as he proceeded to do 40 k's in a 70 zone untill they were out of site.
He wasn't even doing 70 before he saw the cops, the traffic was only going at 60. _________________

Sorry, you're right. The first Metroid Prime is slightly better, in my opinion. It beats all of the 2D Metroids/Castlevanias I've played, though (mind you, I've only played one of the Castlevania games: Portrait of Ruin, but it was supposed to be among the best). And Shantae and all of that. I've never played a better exploration platformer in my life. _________________

Portrait of Ruin was balls. If you haven't played Aria/Dawn or Symphony you haven't played Castlevania properly. _________________

Well, if the lights on the cop car were on, the speed limit while passing them becomes 40. Maybe the lights were on? If not, yeah, pretty annoying.
I always thought that it must suck as a copper though, when traffic around you is always doing 5km/hr under the limit.

Wait for real is that a rule? He was on the other side of the road does that count? I honestly can't remember if he had his lights on or not.
Shit maybe I'm just a dick head complaining about some guy following the road rules. _________________

In SA, you have to slow down to 40 km when passing a stationary emergency services vehicle with its lights flashing. I'm not sure about other states.
Anyway, a cop operating a speed gun is unlikely to have his or her lights flashing, not unless they have just pulled somebody over.

I thought that's just an SA law but don't worry..
Us NSWelshmen don't need this to be legislated because we're so considerate we slow down to 15 and have a nice long look at what's going on before driving away  _________________

ARG....chairman at work got some vista 2012 anti virus virus on her computer...prepare to load the gun and shoot yourself if you get that son of a bitch.
What a cunt of a virus that is, it looks like it is part of a microsoft suite but it reports non existent virus and keyloggers, then proceeds to block chrome, IE and firefox from geting on the internet, luckily she had safari on there, which it didn't block, then it blocks you opening anything you downloaded anyway saying you have a keylogger threat.
I have a large headache from trying to kill that bastard, extremely aggressive, hard to remove utter utter bastard that one.
Now i have a headache.
If you do ever get it, start by finding a dummy serial key for the arsehole so it stops blocking you from doing anything. _________________ kill, kill, kill.....the white man. Kill the white man, kill

I was sure I had the question about speed limit when passing stationary emergency vehicles with flashing lights when I went for my Qld motorcycle license a few years ago, but I can't seem to find anything online about it (apart from the SA law). So maybe I was wrong about that.
A stationary emergency vehicle on the side of the road with it's lights flashing, indicates a potential hazard though, and slowing down for a potentially hazardous situation isn't a bad idea. That said, not checking the rear-view before slamming the brakes on is a hazard in itself too.

Send me a PM, I've rid a couple of computers of that virus before. Nasty fucker too, the first time I came across it took me about a day to scrub it off the OS.

Time. More specially, Cinema session times.
Hang with me on this, cause i'm going to look stupid for a minute (no, wait, more permanent then that). I keep forgetting that when something is 12am, they really mean midnight, not midday. So i booked tickets to go out with my parents and see Tin Tin at Gold Class, booked the tickets over the phone and I asked the staff member on the line that the 12:15 session was at midday. She told me it was. So we drive an hour and a quarter out to the cinema, and there's this issue with the tickets. they can't bring them up on the system, its not letting them. When the penny drops that I've shown up 12 hours too early for them. Cinema was nice enough to offer me free tickets to a regular screening of Happy Feet 2.
But the thing that annoys me is, There listing for in the paper and they're website is still listing the 12:15 am session as Friday, shouldn't it technically be considered at the Saturday session? _________________

What about Wonder Tower? I loved climbing along the edges taking down henchmen before swinging up to a gargoyle <3 _________________

Found the battle at the top to be intensely rage inducing, the soldiers stuck together, and hitting one would immediately result in being riddled with bullets from the others. It took about an hour of experimenting with different tactics and many failures before I finally cleared it.
Meanwhile my room had become superheated from concentration and electronics, resulting in a slippery body that had trouble maintaining optimal friction in my office chair, adding to the frustration.
But that's done and dusted now, and I'm now on a small hiatus from the game after I got back into the city, and it decided it wanted to become linear and not let me explore, and then force me into a battle with eleventy damn snipers, each with a view of one another. After several failed attempts to thwart them, and a bout of intense cussing, I'm now laying out in the living room, about to endure 3 animated Batman movies.
Maybe I'll pick up some pointers. _________________

Sonic Batarangs + Explosive Gel + GTFO ASAP = win.
I found myself hanging from the ledge most often, just waiting... then bam! ledge takedowns.
Though as you said, I didn't like the sudden change to linear, I still had side missions I wanted to do :/ _________________

With the part with heaps of snipers, I found that difficult a few times, but then somehow I did it without being seen. I went around the back. And the easiest way to defeat a group of people with guns is to try and disable a couple of them first, and then grapple hook them all out of their hands as fast as you can.

Fucking bosses.
All of them in general not even briefly considering thanking you for working hard and staying extra to get what needs to be done completed because other people call in sick/don't show up.
Then there's this one particular guy who hounds you literally every 3 minutes wanting progress reports, asking where particular team members are, what they're doing and then asking you to do particular things. Being a general manager and not having specialised training/knowledge of different departments means he'll ask you to do things that you know are wrong and essentially a waste of time. He won't have any part of it though and will enforce the issue.
I'm also starting to get sick of my job, this new manager (he's been here a couple of months) obviously isn't helping either. I've been here two years and I'm thinking it's perhaps time for a change. I'm not sure why but it only recently dawned on me that this job (Fresh Produce at Coles) is actually considerably more manual labour than it is retail and customer interactions and whatnot.
Also I just sneezed while brushing my teeth and spit/toothpaste/other things went everywhere. _________________

Just updated my HTC firmware for my HTC Desire HD and now it keeps resetting ever 5-10 minutes.
The only way to avoid it resetting is to take out my SD card...way to go HTC...keep up the good work "bravo"...
