I haven't been this hooked on a game since...The Chronicles of Riddick. 
Actually, I've been just as hooked on Oblivion, Ar Tonelico, and Guitar Hero II. But the game still rocks!

Has everyone gotten the 2 Darkling costumes that came from buying the game in a certain store. Essentially they give you a phone number to call and it unlocks a costume. 1 for buying it from Gamestop and one for buying it from some European retailer - but you can find the numbers to call online (or i can post them here). The European retailer call is at least kind of funny. The Gamestop one is lame. The costumes are neat though, one give the berserker a jersey and baseball bat and the other gives him a knit cap, pants, and a golf club.

Well, I sat the character down to watch TKAM, left for dinner, and came back. No new achievement, and I couldn't get the character off of the couch, so ended up resetting...

I was so damn lost on the Heart of Gold for some time but I finally got it. I got most of the single player achievements and I don't even feel like trying for the online ones.
I'm a huge shooter fan and I liked the concept of the game but it still had a number of faults.
My problems with the game....
I did enjoy the game, or else I wouldn't of gone for so many of the achievements, but for as long as this game was in development I expected a bit more I guess. I enjoy shooters and it was nice to have a bit of variety as far as gameplay and mechanics.

Single player though is wonderful stuff.

Actually it does. Directly is implied. when not stated. I work in terminology, in the language industry. So let's talk games and stop trying to act like we know what we are talking about. m-kay?

well, maybe in nerd-ville that could be the case
but accordinging to Mr Webster
properly related in size or degree or other measurable characteristics; usually followed by `to'; "the punishment ought to be proportional to the crime"; "earnings relative to production"
graduated: (of taxes) increasing as the amount taxed increases
one of the quantities in a mathematical proportion
having a constant ratio
if you don't define the ratio, well.....

This is my absolute fav thing to happen on online forums. When one person accuses the other person (directly or indirectly) of being a nerd when both people are posting on an online forum about videogames in the middle of the day during the workweek. 
And i don't care if someone is working on their Phd and only posts at work and is a casual gamer because they have other hobbies that take up their entertainment budget. Nor do i care if they only like multiplayer on the same screen so they can share some beers with their friends as opposed to online multiplayer. Perhaps they even think they aren't a nerd because they don't think graphics matter and prefer 2D games to the newer 3D games.
We are all nerds here.

So to recount, we have a geek, a dweeb, a nerd, a hippie and a princess. Sounds like the newest season of Average Joe.

Anyway, bout the game, picked it up a few days ago, been playing it and its pretty sweet. Story so far is interesting, the voice actiing is great (although the character models dont seem to move thier mouths at all, especially Jackie), the use of load times is interesting and the gameplay and graphics are very nice. Ive been looking forward to playing something along the lines of Condemned:Criminal Origins (Great Game!) and this one fits the bill.
Online Multiplayer is for shits tho......
