I just finished Act 2 in Marvel's Spider-Man, so I guess I'm two thirds of the way through? It's sooooo good. Definitely my game of the year, although I think it's the only game that was released this year that I've actually played.

I rarely buy games on Day 1, and so often end up playing them months or even years after everyone else. This normally leads to me having intimate discussions with myself in otherwise eerily quiet threads. See the LA Noire thread, the Titanfall 2 thread, the Witcher 3 thread etc.

I've got a few of those weird 'companionship' messages, but I always view them through the app on my phone and so they can't do any damage.

Maybe they finally got around to watching it?

I vote Limbo.

I wish they'd got the guy who played him on Broadway. He was fantastic, but not a very big known name.

@Cookyman Do you ever feel that you're talking to yourself?

LA Noire did this. It was kind of annoying.

Get out of here, you cunning linguist.

Accidentally bought Quorn chicken pieces rather than Quorn mince. I can't make Chilli Con Quornie with this!

I enjoyed this:

Did the Wii Mini actually happen? It feels like a weird dream I had.

Does it always look like a Pikachu I wonder? Would be cool if it mimicked other Pokémon like Chansey, then when you ran close to get healing items, it grabbed you and didn't let go.

I'd probably have Kassandra then.

What does each one taste like?

I've always wondered how they manage to keep continuity across a season with so many episodic directors, but I guess it seems to work. That's a good list.

This was my favourite stage from the N64 version. Love it.

I assumed it was because she actually had a baby in real life and wanted time off for that.

I'm not even sure what this one is advertising?

How many times have you accidentally grabbed and thrown a bin rather than the bomb too?

The one thing I've found that annoys me so far, is the way that Spider-Man can sometimes get stuck under a small ledge. That, and how annoying it is to do fine tune movements (trying to get to a small specific area, while Spider-Man won't stop leaping about). These only seem to amplify when you're doing the Taskmaster missions!

Yeah, it's unclear exactly what it refers to, but it won't be too far off I guess.

Doesn't it tell you on the map page how far you are through the campaign? It sounds about 40% to me.

Well if I didn't, I wouldn't be a very good superhero would I?

So I'm about halfway through the main game, done all backpacks, research stations, landmarks and Fisk hideouts. I don't think I've had such long sessions playing video games since I was a teenager. I usually get bored or get a headache after an hour or two, but I must have played this game for maybe 12 hours over the weekend. It's so addictive.
