Welp, my favorites are out, had a good run though. I would love it if ME2 wins, or Arkham City. What an upset.

@dipset I'm guessing that the criticisms regarding the color palette of KZ2 was vocal enough that there's some pressure in the team to change it. Such a shame though, whatever the reason.

Another fantastic retrospective by Digital Foundry, this time about Killzone 2. Looking at all the gameplay footage here really makes me want to play this game again. I think it would still end up high on my all time FPS faves. I would buy a PS4 remaster in a heartbeat. I need to fly overseas to get "my" PS3 back from my brother now, lol.

I think I should switch my Uncharted 4 playthrough in my list for My Hero One's Justice. I've been mostly playing around the versus mode with friends, so there's still a lot of stuff to do in it (I'm planning to platinum it, it looks quite easy). It's weird having a replay session as a backlog anyway.

The TLOU loss gonna hurt me no matter what. ME2 is one hell of a game though. It's definitely my second horse now, apart from Uncharted 2. I'm already very happy that both TLOU and U2 got this far, but I will still be salty if if U2 lost, lol.

I know i shouldn't be surprised that Bioshock got this far, but man. Huge disconnect here between me and the rest. Arkham City too, although I loved it despite not being a big fan of the Bat.

The way I've been playing through Okami HD makes me think that I'll finish it sometime next month. It's a really good game, but there's a certain vibe to it that makes me feel sleepy. I can't play it more than 2 hours at a time.

Finally, the PS4's touchpad is useful again :v

Thanks to a very lovely football/soccer chant, I'm hooked to The Stone Roses' self titled debut album now. Has lots of moments that surprised me, really good stuff overall.

Also, I'm a bit late to the party but The Black Keys are finally back! This is a pretty good single, continuing the sound and production style of Brothers and El Camino.

There's also this new Foals album, not familiar with them at all but I'm immediately downloaded the album after I watched this music video of one of the singles. Loving the sound of it. It's quite expressive, a bit dark, and feels slick. The bridge part near the end is so badass. Excited to listen to the whole album soon.

@jifw52 Thanks for the heads up! This is a pretty neat idea, finally can make use of my knowledge of EZA from my binge sessions.
