    thought i'd get this while waiting for la noire to be released....was going to play it for a week and trade/refund it for la noire....but it didnt last the week - laggy, repetetive, boring, ugly, decided i'd rather play nothing - was back in the shop 2 days later...

    some of the dlc sounds interesting tho - pity its for a rubbish broken game.

    I still like it.

    I see your infuriated remarks, and I raise you - the finger.

    The middle one.

    I don't care if you can't see it, the principle still stands.

    Because I put a pin on his chair.

    I'll go now.
