You are definitely allowed to talk about Gamesharing, just based on how popular the Gameshare thread is.  However, I think "phantoms" are technically breaking the Sony TOS and CAG is just kinda letting it slide for now.  But I don't have anything to back that up besides my admittedly limited knowledge of Sony's TOS.

The PlayStation Network will be bitten by a radioactive crime drama series later this year; Powers, a live-action adaptation of the comic of the same name, will be available via the PSN starting in December, with the debut episode available for free. Meanwhile, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to view the entire series at no charge.

David Slade (Hannibal, Breaking Bad) will direct the first two episodes of the show, which focuses on detectives who investigate cases involving people with superhuman powers. The original comic, published by Image until 2004 and currently by Marvel, is written by Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy) and illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming (Judge Dredd, Catwoman).

This is cool.

 
Gamesharing is simple shit but it obviously freaks out some people. I think retail would be the way to go, just need to factor in tax and shipping (unless it is some lucky fuck that still doesn't get taxed by their state through Amazon).
We would probably have one person run the prize awarding, preferably they would be in a tax-free state and have Amazon Prime. But I guess they'd still get taxed if shipping to another state that does get taxed.

They could also possibly have GCU from BB and it would be cheaper, but I don't think BB wants people using their GCU to buy games for others. Amazon Prime, on the other hand, I don't think cares if you ship things to other people all over the US. I don't know though.

 
I don't agree with the gamesharing aspect. While it's nice between friends, constantly communicating to activate and deactivate the account used would be too much a hassle due to conflicting shedules, etc. I have other ideas on mind, Tyler, that I will send to you as feedback once I can.
But this is misinterpretation. The only reason to constantly activate/deactivate the account is if you get rid of the account. You can have the account and use the games on 2 systems at once. Even if we cut out the phantoms, that would still lead to 2 users with the game instead of 1. All you do is make a new user account on your system, and sign into PSN with the username/PW combo. You wouldn't ever have to use that account again.

Man, they should have spent a ton of time talking about this at E3. Definitely something everyone would want to hear about!

I'm pretty sure you're right. But sharing between 2 systems is perfectly acceptable, although some people still don't want any part of it.

But I guess we'll never figure any of this out unless we try something. I suggest putting up a poll for a game title (or are we going to pick our own?) and let people know Aug 1st it will start.

 
If you dont gameshare, then your dumb. We dont need more dumb nubs in the gameshare thread.

Tyler, i can't vote on that poll because I don't eat pizza cause im lactose intolerant u asshole!

*You're...and this wouldn't concern that thread I would assume.

Jesus the poll shows up on top of EVERY page of the thread?  I thought it would only show up on the first page.  Ugh yeah, I obviously think they're cool but if it's going to make everyone have to scroll more than normal, I probably won't do frivolous ones.

Well I live in Delaware, have Prime and GCU. As you said I wouldn't think shipping from BBY all across country on an account would be wise, but if the games are in store they could just be purchased and the saved money used to ship yourself.

As far as the prize, I think it should simply be the winners choice of any that the raffle money would cover. If there's any left it could just be saved for next giveaway or possibly used to purchase a PSN card to random off in smaller bonus giveaways.

A raffle is a type of contest in which participants purchase tickets in exchange for chances to win the raffle drawing. During a raffle drawing, all of the ticket numbers are pooled together, and then there is a blind drawing to determine the winning ticket. Raffle contests are regulated by the government. They must be used for fundraising events sponsored by registered non-profit agencies, and all the proceeds must go to a charitable cause. Any such money-raising event by a for-profit organization must be defined as either a lottery or a sweepstakes, and those are governed by different regulations

Nationwide law I would assume, so nothing to do with CAG? Basically, no one could pocket the extra money or it would be illegal. considered a lottery or sweepstakes, which aren't allowed on CAG?

Did you guys know this site has deals? It's been so long since I have been to the homepage I completely forgot. ;)  I think PSN credit would work, plus we could do $20 instead of 60 because that's a lot of organization and not everyone has to participate. If we get enough for $40 then we can do 2 raffles.

 
Pepperoni pizza is great if you love guzzling grease with every bite. Its gotta be the worst pizza topping.

I'll give you mushrooms though. And black olives. I also love the places that offer cheese steak pizza.

 
I looked for some wording somewhere and couldn't find it. I didn't wanna PM anyone and ask yet, as I figured we'd probably just do it anyways. But yea lol, maybe we should, for the health of the group.
Here's the official word from the trading/feedback rules guide that's stickied in the trading forum:

One additional topic of note. Tradelists are for trading/selling/buying items, not for gambling pools, sweepstakes, lotteries and the like. Lotteries, sweepstakes and gambling pools (with monetary entry) are violations for local, state and federal legal issues for such items, and due to this, they can't be held on CAG. Contests without any monetary cost for entry are allowed in the Contests and Free Stuff forum, though anything that requires money for entry isn't allowed, due to possible scam concerns, as well as the previously mentioned legal concerns.

I guess some of that's open to interpretation, but yeah, you might want to get some clarification before going ahead with anything.

 
You can easily beat Vag, I had to play the 4th fight quite a few times, as well as the 5th. Then I couldn't get one of the easy trophies to work without restarting the game to get to the title screen.
I thought it was weird that my time was so much lower than you guys', since I only had to replay the 5th fight a few times. If someone could get it on the first or second try, they'd probably beat me.

I hope you didn't use a guide...!! *finger wagging emoticon*. Limbo is a great game. I thought the trial and error aspect worked well, especially since the deaths are so hilariously grizzly. I got all glowing orbs except the one that requires you to navigate a hidden path while in complete darkness, lol. fuck that (not sure if this achievement is on consoles).
Ironically, I used guides to get the 3-4 orbs (I think they're eggs since they break when you step on them?) I missed after beating the game, but I got the hidden path one ("DING!" trophy) on my own without any help. :razz:

 
Where's my black olive option tyler?

Frisky, is that you?

 
May as well join the pizza convo...any of you guys try the chipoltle chicken and bacon, or cheeseburger pizzas from Papa Johns recently?? Pure genius (although I definitely got NO PICKLES on the cheeseburger pizza, that sounded disgusting)

Other than trying fancy ass new pizzas like they are Oreo flavors...I really like anything with pineapple, or some combination including pineapple.

I take it back, pepperoni is the 2nd worst pizza topping. Pineapple claims number 1. Pineapple is the worst everything.

I'm pretty dead set on pickles being the worst pizza topping, along with anchovies. I'm also not a fan of olives. Pineapple works great on pizza, complementing the sauce quite well while not making it overly sweet.

Your one of those health nuts arent you? Pineapple is fucking great. You dont have to like it on pizza, but if you dont like it in general you have to be crazy. You can not want to eat it since its basically pure sugar from a fruit, but I dont know one person that doesnt like pineapple.

I can see pickles being decent as a topping if they were real pickles and not those shitty flavored rubber places like McD's use. As far as pineapple I just can't stand the stuff myself. Definitely in my top 5 least favorite foods.

Nah, not even close. I eat like a pig. Unhealthy and large amounts that belie my size. I'm certain I could eat more than anyone in here in one sitting. But yeah, as I said above, I fuck ing hate pineapple.

Hate pickles on anything. Love pineapple on anything. Different strokes for different folks lol. But top 5 worst all time? I hate pickles but I could think of 5 worse things to eat than pickles.
