I must give them massive props for the AI used on the marines though. Throughly impressed.
If you thought they were dangerous on the first game, wait till you see them here. My god how they've evolved.
They will use flanking maneuvers, flush you out of cover with grenades, provide cover fire for each other, they will NOT rush at you but rather patiently wait for YOU to come to them so they can gun you down, they fire in full auto this time, not short bursts, each squad has a medic that will heal injuried soldiers, they will take cover before reloading, if they hear you reloading THAT'S when they zerg-rush you, every squad has a commanding officer, and as long as this officer is alive they will fight with more zeal, their reaction times are split-second fast, and their accuracy is a killer.
I find it amusing how in the original game, whenever there were sections where aliens fought the marines, they always lost. This time? they wipe the floors with the aliens without even sweating.
Seriously, as far as squad AI goes, these guys make the Korean soldiers from Crysis look like amateurs.As someone in the American Army (even if it is insisting on screwing me as thoroughly as it can), I can always appreciate when a work doesn't make the American military look like total chumps. I am a fully trained combat medic, and our tactics are actually really well thought out.

Took a quick nap.
Had a nightmare about signing frogs.
Maybe took too much cough medicine.

I saw a trailer for the Hobbit recently. Already knew it was coming out. Still don't know what to make of it.

Reading Ender's Shadow.
I think I have a weak spot for highly intelligent sociopaths.

Today I paid $100 for an absolutely amazing massage and it was worth every cent. It was the complete experience with relaxing music and a perfumed room. My muscles feel so awesome right now. I think I'm gonna smash a lot of PBs in the gym this week.
Also, my rugby league team is in the grand final!
I am SOOOOOOO lucky. I get absolutely amazing massages for free, all the time, courtesy of boyfriend. Like calves and feet and everything, like at a professional place.

I think I do, as well - they're an intriguing "species" and typically make for great stories.

Watching Hunger Games, this is ok, but, not as good and bloodthirsty as Battle Royale.

Because it's not meant to be an American remake of Battle Royale. Similar basic principle, at first, wildly different execution.
