Lovelorn

Well, I did have the awkward experience of clicking on a woman and then hitting the Flirt expression only to have her bumped out of the way at the last second by a man who, having received the flirt was, egads! receptive!

Gameplay

The gameplay can be tedious at times. I've been sucked into Renegade at the moment, so I haven't really had a chance to finish DS. The eye candy is good, but I'm thinking the multiplayer experience must be better than the single-player in order to hold my interest.

Cool shots
