PS Plus and PS3 external hard drives

I was hoping to use an external hard drive with my PS3 because it would allow for more PS Plus games to be downloaded, but it doesn't work that way. That is pretty disappointing. You can use an external drive to back up other things, just not to save games on.

PS Plus is a good deal, but it is only really as good as your remaining internal storage.

Plants vs Zombies 2

Totally forgot Plants vs Zombies 2  was so close to being released. The original game was such a cool experience. My hope is that local co-op remains!

I also hope that EA doesn't do crazy things with the franchise that are terrible for the fans... like they did with Burnout.. The Sims.... Mass Effect.. Dragon Age...

Sweet Tooth

Just started this comic series and it is pretty interesting so far. It is fairly dark and the art is intentionally a bit ugly, but I am so curious about how the story will turn out. It is the same way I felt about The Maxx years ago. I'll do a podcast epi about it soon.

Game of Thrones!

Game of Thrones is just so complicated. It is a show that requires frequent reminders of things from earlier in the series. Halfway through the third season, I decided to give myself a refresher. Probably should've done this before starting the season.

PS4

Sony's next console is going to be $100 cheaper (priced at $400), it will not require daily "checking in" with an internet connection, and it will embrace used games.

It is also a more powerful system overall.

I think Sony definitely learned a thing or two from the last console release. This seems to be a reasonably priced system and they have a much better gameplan than both the Wii U and Xbox One. I'm really hoping that Sony returns to the level they were at with the PS1 and PS2.

Even if the game library isn't that great, choosing the PS4 over the others is a really easy choice.

Animal Crossing

It's nice that Nintendo has released Animal Crossing for the 3DS. The reviews for it are really positive.

Why isn't it for Wii U? Who would rather play AC on a handheld than a home console?

Ni No Kuni

As much as I've enjoyed playing Ni No Kuni, I'm over 40 hours in and I'm ready to wrap this game up. It has been a really fun experience, but I'll admit that I'm still surprised about the fact that boss battles can either be super easy or super difficult. I'll blow through hours and hours of the game being fairly careless with combat, even beating bosses this way. Then I'll encounter a boss able to kill my entire party with just a couple attacks it uses over and over.
