About to pick up the 30-30 game in the 17th.

It was pretty fun farming the trophies for The Show 14 on Vita with the super powered team. But that Cabrerra trophy took many many games and restarts.
Yeah, that's going to be the worst one from the looks of it.

Time to play some Dishonored and maybe finish up Alan Wake as well.

I'll have that HDMI input free by September come hell or high water.

Well if he ends up wanting the dlc, it's gonna cost him $20 just for the story dlc.

I grabbed the GOTY a few months back for $19.99. Still haven't opened it, but I have no regrets at that price.

I did not think you could buy gift cards with reward zone certs. If you can, that is definitely the way to go. Thanks!
I've definitely bought Kindle cards no sweat. I don't think there should be any problem with buying a Best Buy gift card but if I'm wrong at least you'll have the backup plan of grabbing Amazon money so it doesn't go to waste.

 
I genuinely thought you were saying you "had him", as in you won him over. Only now did I realize you meant to type "gave" instead of "have". :lol:
Lol, na. Love me or hate me, I dont care lol. Just got a case of the fat finger there for a second.

I dont really keep up with M$, but wasn't it just on sale? Either way, they like to do DLC sales, unlike Sony, so it could happen.

Since the DLC is on-disc, you should have done like I did and "rented" a used GotY copy from Gamestop, downloaded the DLC, returned it, then bought the standard edition for <$10 from somewhere (AWD in my case).

So, apparently conversations about The Running Man, The Hunger Games and Winter's Bone are considered on-topic with psn deals?
The Hunger Games is on the $.99 rental list right now, so that's OT. No idea on the others, though.

I can confirm the BB GC works fine for the Kindle card. I usually go in and get PSN cards or Kindle cards with my $5 coupons for spending money at BB.

 
How do trophy percentages work, anyway? idgi. It's not just trophies gained/trophies total. Is there just some defined weighting for bronze/silver/gold, or does it vary per game depending on the number of trophies the game has?

 
Something something about giving Jennifer Lawrence my winter's bone (the cold is why it looks like that.)

Also, how long until we get a terrible remake of The Running Man? Maybe they could make it like a really dark version of Wipeout.

Just setting down roots so I don't have to re-read from two pages again. :wave:

I'm really hoping that they move away from the static endings in Dishonored. If there ever happens to be a sequel. No doubt that it was a good game, but I think it happens to be one of those that people overhyped. Not that I ever buy into whatever's overhyped.

Eh, it was good deal, and I liked the box art.

 
Credit to Bumslie: http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/need-speed-most-wanted/229220-134-135-gate-glitch-near-bac-mono.html I think this is worth posting for anyone who plans to play NFS Most Wanted at some point. This info wasn't available when I played a couple years ago, and I'm pretty sure it's why I never found my last security gate, and gave up on the online trophies. Basically, in the tutorial race there are gates that you need to NOT break, because they will count towards your total...but they don't IF you break them in the tutorial...there are enough gates in the main game, but some are glitched so you may end up needing the tutorial gates. Credit to Bumslie.
After we got those trophies last night I wanted to look it up. You only need that trophy for platinum so that sucks. I might need your help for one more MW trophy. I'm trying to remember if I went through those tutorial gates.

MERSH!

Are you planning on going for the MP for AC Brotherhood?

High 5! I bought new for $20 as well, wasn't even thinking it was like BL2 GOTY for the DLC. I could see (since it would likely spur sales of the DLC) Dishonored being a free Plus game before it's over with.

You do know that TRM was based on a Stephen King book, right? The movie bore no real resemblance to the original story, though. The original story was a country-wide manhunt. I think the guy wasn't even a criminal, his name just got picked out of a hat or something. It's been 20 years, so I can't recall. The television aspect was there as well, though it was pretty different. When the main character's wife and kid are killed by people gunning for him, he steals a plane and crashes it into the building the assholes running the show are in. They all die. Game over.

/spoiler, suckaa.

Don't remind me lol. No problem, I'll help. If you don't remember I'd just restart since you're not too far in.

I wasn't, but if you wanna play it I can. I was gonna run through BH, Revelations, and III so I could get to Black Flag before Unity came out (shit thats alot of AssCreed), with my thinking being that I may possibly play the MP on Black Flag since it's newer and would have more people playing.

 
Same thing with Total Recall but that didn't stop them from making a terrible remake for it.

PS: I haven't seen the remake but apparently it has even less to do with the original PKD story?

Actually the TR remake was reasonably decent. Not cheesy fun like the original, obviously, but a decent enough movie.

Looking at the plot synopsis for the original story, no, there's no real relation. I hate it when they do that. Why name it after a book if you're not going to follow the plot? The Bourne movies were terrible about that, and I Am Legend just pissed me the hell off.

 
have any of you guys heard of or used 99gamers.com? Seems pretty legit and awesome?
I've heard of it, though haven't used it personally. From what I've gathered it's a fairly trustworthy and decent place to trade games, though I think it uses a coin system so I'd probably not suggest sitting on too many in case it goes the way of Goozex.

To be fair, the original story wasn't called Total Recall. Just the movie.

 
Wtf...made it to the last episode of TWAU, and all of a sudden the dialogue stopped and whenever I get printed with a choice, every option literally says "The choice is blank!"

I guess I don't want to see the end anyways.

The end sucks dude. But I guess they had to have something to lead into Season 2 later. But I have no clue what you're talking about lol, it played fine when I played it. (well, fine as far as TT games go)

I totally have been doing awesome at TLOU mp now on. After doing horrible and 1/2 my camp sick or unhealthy I started reading the loading screen tips and have totally changed my game around. I thought you had to keep all the parts you found, but you are able to spend them on gun upgrades and armor and it still carries over, doh! So everything is getting alot better now. I still forget how to use shivs, I think it's only from behind or infront if smoke stunned. getting better, bit by bit. It had been so long since I played single player. Like I just remembered you dont have to aim to throw molotovs, you can just toss r1. Getting better!

Three trophies left now: Miggy's trophy, Fence Posts, and Patience is a Virtue.  If I can get lucky enough to do all three in the next game with minimal restarting it will be 5 complete games and a whole lot of extra innings for the platinum.

How difficult is Uncharted: Golden Abyss on hard difficulty?  Am I going to be pulling my hair out all game since the Vita isn't exactly great at precision aiming?  

 
29 innings Eldritch? You can do most of them in one 9 inning game.
You record a video for me of you getting two players to hit for the cycle, 4 H 4 RBI 4 R on another, 2 HR 5 RBI on another, a 2B and a 3B on another in one 9 inning game and then tell me truthfully how many games it took to get that all to align. I was done with everything but one triple around 20 but still had to wait for the ball to actually get to the right spot even with maxed out speed and zeroed out opponents.

I don't recall it being very difficult on Hard, only on Crushing. Then again, I tend to be quite good at third-person shooters. You should get used to the aiming relatively quickly.

Congratulations, you're playing a Telltale game on console.

The end sucks dude.
I guess there's no pleasing everyone (I thought the ending was excellent).

I don't remember it being too frustrating on normal, but there are a lot of BS moments that I could see as being aggravating on a higher setting. The game is incredibly lackluster to begin with though, so personally I'd not put yourself through the extra challenge and just get through it.

Like I said before this sometimes reminds me of a cult. The "us vs. them" thing is dumb when most people migrated here. So who precisely are you going on about? And who is complaining in the other thread because I've asked them to speak up. Shit is dead now. And @Frisky taking the fall for it when the mods already said it wasn't him. It's looking like @io may have just taken matters into his own hands. Why he used the mayo incident to play super-mod, idk.

The problem wasn't the occasional meandering. We know this because every other thread is the same. All you had to do was chill with the post count competitions. Or trolling with these alt accounts lol. The 'ctrlc' guy is funny but come on. Who the fuck is that?

Whatever. I spend half my time on the off topic side of other gaming forums so I don't see why we can't have the same. I will gladly plant another merc flag down. Not as convenient but it can work. But now it's all or nothing with y'all. I can't help but feel your refusal to post in the PSN thread is a bit mean-spirited. A lot of this is not even off-topic. It's like when I asked my girlfriend to stop cooking her nasty ass quinoa and she proceeded to throw everything out (true story). So basically...accept your mayo testimonials or get nothing? I now have to come here to talk about how terribly ancient Stranger's Wrath feels?? That's messed up.

Sorry if I upset you, brother top. *slow sips*...your kool-aid is still diviiine.
This is why we left and why Frisky is taking the "fall:"

I'd love to see the nonsense about burgers, grills, and all this other stuff stop so that we can get back to just talking about games. The extreme off-topic stuff used to only last for a little bit before going back to games, but now it lasts for days and takes up way too much space in the thread. People here are a bit too eager to just increase post counts and dumb things like that, so they just post whatever thought pops into their head and it's kind of dragging down the thread now.
You're free to post in the OTT, which would be a much better place for that stuff.

Also, god forbid that somebody in here doesn't tell a mod to go fuck off when they ask people to knock off the off-topic stuff.
Eventually, but this has gotten a lot more out of hand of late with pages of off-topic talk, in 100 ppp format, that brought a mod to try to do something about it. It should be a sign that you guys are not invincible and shouldn't be basically telling mods to fuck off when they suggest not being so aggressively off-topic.
It was more of a metaphorical fuck off by continuing off-topic conversations after he asked people to knock it off.
I didn't mean right until that fucking post. I was talking about seeing continued off-topic posts for a bit after io's posts, which was disconcerting to me. I could easily see things going right back to the way they were after this break from the off-topic stuff is over so that it devolves into being just like the cesspool that is the Steam thread where people are pretty much untouchable over there.
Plus all the whining about off topic posts before this.

And yes, it's accept the mayo talk or nothing at all. Who wants to split time between two threads? Like Topside said, we'd have to determine what our post is going to be about and then decide which thread to post in. fuck that, we'll keep it all to one thread. Frisky wanted us gone and was smug that we had no effect on the thread. Now that it's consistently falling to the second page of the deals forum (on a Tuesday and we're still in the transitional period), he's wondering why we can't all be friends.

I didn't have too much of a problem even on crushing in that game other than a few parts. Hard shouldn't be bad at all. The worst part of the game is the gimmicky touch and motion control parts that just take you out of the game.
