I don't get enough sleep during the week and then I probably get too much sleep on the weekend.

I found him on Facebook yesterday, does that make me as bad or worse?

I need at least 6 hours of sleep to function worth a damn. And let me tell you, sleep is important! I only slept about three hours a night while attending a technical school (slept plenty in college proper but also got caught up in that WoW cycle, and inebriation) - and guess what I took away from my shenanigans? A few certifications and three years of not accomplishing shit! Buy moar XBLA games!!!

Just a heads up for those buying Mafia II. I was about to jump on this until I found that Walmart.com has Mafia II PH edition with the DLC for $9.82 with free site to store.

Wow, that's OP material, thanks!

Damn I wish Mafia 2 had that price for

Originally Posted by Inf^Shini If you don't plan on playing Gaige, then no. The extras are minimal as there's a steady supply of Shift codes for golden keys being put out, the rare relic doesn't really make much of a difference when farming, and the gearbox guns are easily replaceable out the gate. The consensus around the Gearbox forums though is that Gaige is the most powerful class.

Besides Axton & his "big gun", Gaige (the Mechromancer) gives you control of an NPC robot which is fun in & of itself. Sure, there's still plenty of active "gold chest" key codes out there, but I included it in the OP to be complete. The "+5% rare drop" relic is more powerful than others may believe, since it makes the in-game slot machines more profitable, and is the only relic that affects rare drops. As for the Gearbox guns ... no, they're not easily replaced if you're playing solo, because they beat anything else until you hit level 5, and having your first 3 hours being "more powerful" will make you happier overall, because you don't die from what otherwise would be easier mobs.

It's a much better investment than the CE pack for $5 (unless you're psychotically driven to collect rare skins, or a grenade that will kill you when used indoors), and the Slaughterdome is "ok" (more of a nice distraction) ... but the Mechromancer pack is essential in my mind still after 150+ hours of gameplay.

Sweet, thanks. I am glad I did not pull the trigger on the digital version. My store has it ready for pickup.

I'm pretty sure I ended up getting better guns than the Gearbox guns before I hit level 3 or 4. And this was on 4 different characters. They're pretty crappy, really.

It may have been reiterated. I just want to make sure that the GOTY DLC is compatible with the GoD version of Borderlands. That one install the DLC i can spread it around like digital std's.

Yes, the DLC from the GOTY Edition works with the GoD version of the game.

Mayoclinic and other crap say the same thing. If you get less then 7 hours then your ability to drive/focus gets worst and you'll have blah blah blah. Playing games and staring at a computer all day isn't healthy either. Honestly 6-7 hours a day is what I strive for as well. Since I work 40 hours a week in retail anything less then 6 puts me in a shitty mood my first few hours at work and that just involves a greater risk of losing my job/ing things up which is not good.

This only applies to infants up through a certain age. Then you get older and you need more rest as your body begins to deteriorate over time and you take on more stress and responsibility. I work 40+ a week and raise 3 kids all under 6 by myself and I need much more sleep than I did a few years ago when I was slaving away in grad school 8 hours a day studying 4 or more each night.

Honestly I don't know how some of you put in so much time into your games. I mean I can barely get of the house to do fun things with so many kids to juggle so i'll play games here and there to relax but I can't put in 10 hours in a week.

Anyway...I did pick up winterbottom as the kids like to dance to the music.

In for Scary Girl.

Suggestion: When a game goes on sale, can you guys add whether or not there is a demo or trial of said game? I didn't know Axel & Pixel and Winterbottom had them until I did a Bing search. Would save a lot of time.

In addition, how do you guys know when new trials/demos are added to Live?

Generally most XBLA games have a demo.

You can see new demos by navigating to games on the dashboard, then one of the headings past Indie (can't remember name). There should be a tile for New Releases.

I can't think of any XBLA games off hand that don't have demos.

Yeah all XBLA games have trials. Some GoD games have demos, but not all of them.

As for the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier DLC, does anyone know if that is multi-player only, or are those missions that are available during the single-player as well? I've heard the multi-player is dead.

Thanks!
