maybe it's just a function of how people look at this stuff - for me, video game news is what's coming out and when, with maybe the occassional light review skim. when I cared about sports, it was about the next day's box scores and stats with the occassional light skim through a game recap. I think everything else that's reported in these realms is superfluous - like watching tmz or some shit.

that's not to say you can't or shouldn't enjoy the full-on buffet of articles about lara croft as a symbol of female oppression or the trillionth interview with that guy from Double Fine about his kickstarter. just like you don't want folks to thrash you about your position, you shouldn't get all bent out of shape when someone says 'who gives a fuck' in direct opposition to your point of view. tit for tat and all that.

No one said you had to enjoy sports journalism, @Pete. But to deny its legitimacy? I don't even know how to respond. People making up their own rules as they go along.

Something can be unimportant (or even trivial) to you without denying its existence and the people trying to make a living doing it. fuck.

What you've said is flatout insulting, but maybe if more people took time to be a little more perceptive they wouldn't be so quick to type whatever comes to mind. But of course I just like to argue.

Well, signing out of Gamecenter did prevent it from auto logging in with the old Kongregate account, but at the Kongregate screen (before creating an account) I don't see the panel that said $5 Gamestop coupon. That was there before, right, before creating the account? I'm afraid to try creating the account and then having two accounts but only one coupon, so I will try again tonight on the iPad (and log out of GC on there before doing so).

 
How many game journalists have won a Pulitzer Prize?  Serious question.  I'm going to guess none.

I know sports journalists have.

If you go to https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com, login, click DEVICES and then PLAYSTATION SYSTEMS you should be able to deactivate them that way without needing to contact support.

nope, not that simple unfortunately. if you try to deactivate, it wants you to usb the psp to the computer, or do it through the internet on the psp. i tried it on the one psp i still have that's activated. couldn't do it through wi-fi cause it doesn't support my settings, and i tried the usb route, but it still counts it. even after saying it was successfully deactivated. i went there first thinking it would be that easy.

 
everything is so dramatic and personal for you. were you pulled out of a burning building by a heroic sports journalist the second before it collapsed?

you do like to argue. I definitely called it superfluous and likened it to tmz, but I didn't deny it's existence or the people trying to make a living doing it. what the fuck does that even mean? of course it exists, jackass. we're not talking about ghosts or bigfoot or stotch's silver trophy for getting a perfect on velocity ultra 50. I just think it's completely dumb. and, get ready, that doesn't actually take a single cent of the video game journalist's hard earned paycheck away. so settle down!

FLATOUT INSULTING INDEED!
 
Red Hood gamestop exclusive :shame:

and honestly if you want to continue this send it to my pm box. I think everyone is sick of seeing everyone argue with you and there's no reason for it to be public.

YEAH I wonder why breakuss always gets so heated about ...this particular subject? I do wonder?! You could ask but it's easier to assume I like to argue, I'm sure.

And like I said, insulting. Especially when I go out of my way to show others respect, regardless their station in life. You could be goddamn janitor and I wouldn't think you less important. You can mock that all you want.

So I will ask. Are you a video game journalist? And if so what company or site?
 
for the record, I think that the output of my job is exceedingly dumb too, but I still feel pretty good about myself.

Sexism and sexual harassment of women in the video game industry sucks and needs to go away. I guess maybe those articles are click bait - I don't know as generally I don't read sites like Polygon or IGN, but I have seen the things women in the industry have received via email, twitter, etc, and it is beyond reprehensible. That stuff needs to change.

 
I tried creating a 2nd Kongregate account even though the panel saying $5 off at gamestop wasn't there and, sure enough, no $5 off coupon. So I guess it's also tied to the device, at least on iOS. Hopefully I can get it to work on the iPad tonight.

In the Steam thread.

I actually didn't realize CounterSpy was a Playstation exclusive (could have sworn it had released on Steam awhile back but I must be confusing it with something else). I'm very interested in picking it up, though $15 is hard to swing for a game I know almost nothing about.

Guess I'll wait for reviews; those terrible biased pieces of fluff.

Have you read the CAG thread recently. It sounds like they're cracking down on the deal, maybe they've changed things since I got my coupons the day after it was posted.

Anyways, this will be the last deal they run like this. They'll probably go back to $3 or $5 of pre-owned games but I doubt they do another "off of anything" promotion.

I actually love all the arguing and even though I dont agree with what he says and how he goes about it, I still dont hate Breakfuss. I wouldnt want to be in the same room with him probably. But I can skim or skip his posts or read them if I chose on here.

I still cant beleive we agreed so much today though.

EDIT: Though he can drone on and on, I respect Breakfuss more that he doesnt just run away and say everyone here is a horrible person etc. So what if he never heard of Dig Dug before?

I'd expect the Play/iOS account rather than the device. But let us know.

 
God, CAG runs so smoothly in the mornings.  Pages load.  Comments posts right away.  Likes don't require buffering before they're applied.

Then there's afternoon/early evening CAG.  Narcoleptic CAG, where the entire site takes little 20 second mini-naps every couple of minutes and navigating from forum to forum and thread to thread becomes a headache.

I am convinced it is snakey hitting refresh hoping for pics from Velo causing all those problems.

 
I wish Lego Batman 2 Vita was on sale.  It seems odd for it to be left out with all the Marvel games being in the sale (including Vita).  I wonder if this means maybe we will get it for free soon like Europe did.

more agreement! shenanigans! breakfuss is kind of a badass for sticking it out through the multiple barrages.

You're probably right, but man I sure hope not. Both because I already have it digitally and because I found it rather boring.

BTW, I want to say that anyone who likes Infamous should pick up FoB.  Its definitely worth the sale price.  I thought it was worth the full price though as I am an idiot for Infamous.  SS will probably be the first game I play when I get a PS4.  Even with all the free plus games I already queued up.

 
I don't really think I'll like Hokokum, but this GIF is hilarious:

I thought it was photoshopped but it's straight from Conan's show.  Larry Hyrb is a huge penis head too, this has been confirmed in the XBL thread.
