^ Yeah I choose Asher too, mostly because I like Rodrik's storyline more. 

^ That sucks.

^I've heard of people having similar bugs with all of Telltale's stuff, so not to jinx it or anything, but I wouldn't be overly surprised if it happened again. For example, they actually had to patch the xbox one version of episode 2 of Game of Thrones, because a whole bunch of people complained that the choices shown in the "previously on" section were the exact opposite of what they actually did. Though tbh, it's never happened to me before. That would have sucked if you couldn't do episode 5, though, because it's probably my favorite Telltale episode I've played.

^Yeah, I've heard about that. On the one hand, censorship always sucks imo, but on the other hand, I've heard funny things about how they handled it. Like, I saw a screenshot of one of the scenes where it had a description of what's supposed to happen, but it also said something like "You lose again, Europe", lol!

The second episode showed promise, but after that I found it took a bad turn and never recovered.

Finished Season 2 this morning. I enjoyed the season overall but I do wonder how they're going to really take it further with Season 3 in 2016, since there are multiple endings (in mine Kenny convinced Clem to take the Baby into Wellington and went off alone). I wonder of this means Clem's story is done? Unless they pull some really cheap stunt that devalues your choices in Season 2 by having the next game start the same way no matter what (like The Witcher 3) I don't see how they could follow a standard episodic format now if they continue with Clem. I'm wondering if Season 3 will be something like a soft reboot or something?

Unfortunately after a few hours of trying, the new Metal Gear Solid just isn't clicking for me. I had doubts going in, because I'm not big on open world stealth, but I had to give it a try due to how much I like that series, but after struggling for a few hours and getting little enjoyment out of it, I decided I had enough for now. 

I've mostly been playing my PS4 verion of Dark Souls II lately, which has been awesome, but today I started up a really cool new indie game on Steam called Undertale. It's a turn-based NES style RPG (though you have to move around to avoid enemy attacks, which can be very creative and hard to dodge at times) with an interesting catch: It's possible to go the entire game without killing a single enemy. Of course, you can still do the opposite, and apparently the game change dramatically based on how you play, so I'll get at least 2-3 playthroughs out of it. Right now I'm doing the former, and it's been tough, but very satisfying. It's also equal parts hilarious and emotional at times, and the dialogue is fantastic, as is the soundtrack. It's honestly the most enjoyable turn-based RPG I've played in years. 

I started SOMA last night. It's been really good so far. Definitely more slow paced and deliberate than The Dark Descent, but already scarier and more tense than A Machine For Pigs (which I actually liked, but nowhere near as much as the original.) It also seems to have a better plot than either game, and it seems to be getting more interesting as it goes along. Definitely one of the better horror games I've played recently, though it has a more sci-fi feel to it compared to the Amnesia games. 

Just beat SOMA. Easily the best horror-ish game I've played or seen playthroughs of since the first Amnesia, though one thing to know going in so you're not disappointed or don't feel misled: It's very much a Sci-Fi story, more so than it is a horror story, though I did get scared a couple times.
