$10.50 vs $9.99 doesn't seem even close to double.  Even $6.99 vs $10.50 doesn't seem that horrible.  Maybe the guy had a bunch of money in his paypal and doesn't have a BB or GS near by.  Half the used games at GS seem beat to hell anyway.  The only game I bought used from BB was a bit rough.  Maybe yours is in decent shape and worth a few more bucks.

Glad to see I am not the only one Pyling on Therm for his negativity.

 
I'm going to sound like a jerk for saying this, but I didn't recognize some of the Twitch handles during Tyler's stream last night. I got the obvious ones (Matt, Bums, Stotch, Jay, etc.) plus rpg (Platking), but there were a couple others, like Jdogg, who didn't ring any bells. Are they regulars here?

How does anyone keep track of all these user names? I just used my psn name for twitch. Did I do it wrong?

No, that's what I did (Cloud_squall78). I just don't look as closely at trophy cards here to distinguish how different the PSN username might be from the CAG username, so it's entirely possible that Jdogg is a regular's PSN name that I didn't notice. :oops:

yeah my wife just showed me that footage from the guy the cops shot that had the knife. The guy is obviously an idiot yelling shoot me and rushing the cops with a knife, but damn. wow.

over 2 sodas. crazy.

I know it isn't easy being a cop but I see this and can't help but think there has to be a better way. Rubber bullets? Gas? Guy had a knife and was clearly deranged but emptying that much lead into him? They put him down like some kind of beast.

Ugh. Isolating incidents like this proves very little, though. To be fair, those cops were rightfully panicked. No one here can say how they would have handled it. The problem only becomes clear when you step back and see what appears to be a disproportionate number of unarmed black men killed in these "it could have gone either way, I wish the guy could have lived but I can understand why the police shot him" situations. That's what's so enraging about it.

Yeah, I remember this shit. Probably the last theater/area in Tampa you'd expect it to happen at. Who the fuck takes a gun to the movies? I'm not even sure it's legal but knowing our laws it probably is.

I doubt their is a law against it in FL since you are allowed to carry if you have the permits. The theatre has a rule against bringing in guns but not sure how that plays into the law/case etc.

Either way this is why I try to tell you all to avoid confrontation at all costs. I dont care if its a cop or some crazy old man. You never know what someone is carrying or will do when provoked. The guy that was killed didnt walk away from this crazy old cook. It was a movie during the week in the middle of the day. I am sure there were a thousand other seats they could have moved to and he would still be alive.

6.99 vs 13.49 (10.50 + 2.99 s/h).

And we're coming up on the B2G1 sales at GS. Actually they've had a couple of those in the past month already. It's just interesting how even with old games people are willing to throw their money away rather than spend carefully.

 
finished up the dlc mp trophies on tlou and survived my next 100% handily using special executions.

I don't know why you guys don't play interrogation - it's not played how the game is 'supposed' to be played, but it sure is a buttload of fun. if people played it the right way I guess I could see it being pretty meh.

every where I read just says it is easier to get parts through supply raid. Also the easiest activity for the percentage ones is healing... I get 20 - 30 healings per match. I also did marks for the most recent one and had all the marks I needed in two matches, it has really started a habit of following people around healing, and marking targets if they are to far to shoot to tell my teammates.

The original release was pretty bad about that. Drops were terrible. Supposedly the current rendition is tons better, but I've got too much shit to play to go back and replay D3.

I heard that, too. This is my first time playing the game so it might be that my expectations are off. I got a legendary sword last night that was a bit nicer than what I was using before, but it's not really impressing me that much. I was playing with Cainiac last night and he keeps saying "Aww man I just got some legendary pants that do all this cool stuff" and I just got a bunch of junk.

Doesn't better loot drop if you play multiplayer? Am I making this up?

Probably. I was playing multiplayer last night on Expert difficulty and I was definitley leveling up faster. That was also when I found my legendary sword. Dudes I was playing with says it becomes more common as you level up. I'm like level 20 now, so maybe soon.

I feel you. I try not to be a hothead over trivial shit. But let's say you're waiting on a parking space and just as you're about to pull in someone swoops in and steals the spot. You're telling me you wouldn't at least say something to the asshole? As for cops, I understand they're human and not immune to "bad days" or whatever, but they're here to serve and protect (cliched, I know) us. Definitely doesn't seem right to be afraid of them.
 
I think we should talk about how I have the highest score in the thread on Tales of Arabian Nights in Pinball Arcade.

I'll go first.

I have the highest score in the thread on Tales of Arabian Nights. And it's not even close.

In summary, suck it y'all.

So the two harder trophies are now super easy to get? You can boost online trophies now and the drinking game got easier by like 100%? Well I feel happy knowing I got it before the patch.
