Assassin’s Creed Rogue 6-7 chapters, looks easy.

Real pinball news. The Walking Dead pinball didn't look that great once we saw it in action (though Stern has improved games with updates, so we'll see), but while we haven't yet seen this in motion, the playfield looks fantastic, and of course the theme is awesome. The Big Lebowski, from new company Dutch Pinball. Awesome gizmos on this game:

Tower defense. They are ubiquitous on smartphones because they work well with a touchscreen. Probably that's how Fieldrunners 2 will work on Vita too - via the touchscreen, but you can't put a Vita in your pocket (at least most people can't)!

Damn. Beat me to it. I was just getting caught up on the thread. I would probably actually finish the game on vita lol

I take heat for posting here that I want to sell my copy and so take it to the trade forum, and everybody else who posts here gets offers and no grief! OK, I asked for more money. So, fuck ing sue me!

I've never understood this logic:

"PS+ should give us AC4: Black Flag to get us hyped for the new one in November"

"PS+ should give us Far Cry 3 to get us hyped for Far Cry 4 in November"

To me, that's a bad idea.  I would think it would create more "Well, now I have AC4/FC3 to play through, I don't need to pick up AC5/FC4 right away" and also create burnout on the games for those that play through them right away.

 
I loved Fieldrunners when it first came out. It's the first TD game I recall really getting into. I played Fieldrunners 2 earlier this year and it was fun but didn't live up to my memory of the original. Lots of maps, though, while the first game only had around five IIRC. I think I beat the game in around 5-6 hours or so.

Crunch you should stream Rogue Legacy.

I haven't even beaten a boss yet. It would just be embarrassing. That stupid eyeball boss can suck it!

Maybe I should stream Dead Nation with Pharma? But didn't I read that you don't hear the other players? If so that would be kind of weird. But if you will be able to hear Pharmacrest I'll do it.

Hold the presses. Therm not only likes a game, but he loved one!

 
I have a Vita TV pre-order at Amazon. At the time it seemed like a good idea but right now I'm really starting to wonder if I need it or not.

 
One thing I'm wondering about the VitaTV - will it support ad-hoc play? For example will we be able to play Spelunky coop with PS3+Vita+VitaTV? And how far away can the VitaTV be from the host PS3? I'm thinking it's probably not going to work well with the PS3 downstairs and the VitaTV upstairs, but I'd like to believe that it would.

These un-complained-about and successful transactions in PSNOT for other peoples copies of Borderlands 2 Vita: 10/10 Therms!
Click to expand...
I think it is pretty funny myself. I think the main person who complained is now involved in one of the transactions. I thought everyone knew to not listen to his rants by now though. In defense of pete and myself, it happened a bit more organically than us just posting we wanted to sell ours and was anyone interested. I still understand the frustration though.

 
I beat the raid last night. That mission alone is better than the entirety of Destiny's campaign. It's not hard. Or cheap. Or littered with bullet sponge enemies.

I see why Bungie locked out matchmaking. Thought it was b.s. at first but it doesn't seem possible without mics. Every single person (at certain points) has to hold their own. Timing and coordinated assaults etc. I'd hate to do it with "fucktards" as some of you would say.

I'd been pretty pissed at my misfortune with drops thus far, but was rewarded handsomely. As was most of my team. So for now, the game is on my good side. For now, lol. A baffling high to counter some of the lows.

According to this article you can. http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/29/5156898/sony-playstation-vita-tv-review

since the Vita TV is technically a Vita, you can use it to play local wireless multiplayer with owners of the handheld.

I thought the Simpsons couch gag last night was kind of cool and really weird.

Can't embed it I don't think, scroll down a bit on that link.

Gag was too weird for my tastes. And like most of the recent couch gags in memory, it went on for like twice as long as it should have. For whoever was asking, it was a pretty terrible episode. I still think The Simpsons are still capable of making good episodes and there usually are some pretty funny ones in each season. Last night's was one of the crappy ones, though,

I think your joking Pharm since I don't get your humor... if not, there was no hype until the reviews came out and actually said it is a really good game... while Destiny was all hype train and then flopped with reviewers and consumers.

 
Shadow of Mordor is already low availability on Gamefly.  I was hoping they would not send them out until tomorrow and a fast return from a game I sent back today would get me a copy.  Looks like it will likely be a while before I get to play it now.

yeah I don't get your humor either but I fully expect it to be the best game ever since I chickened out on preordering it. also it will be a super low print run and will never drop in price and there will inexplicably be an unattainable trophy in three weeks.

Depends on timing. You're right, giving FC3 away at this point is probably pointless. But I think how they handled Borderlands 1 was brilliant. Same with Bioshock 2. I had no interest in those series until they came to PS+. Bought BL2 the first week it was out. Rented Infinite and later bought it. Maybe that's just me, though.

You can't be any worse than Ninja. Well, actually, you could be. But it would still be funny to watch.

For us to be able to hear Pharm, he has to stream too. Then we set up a multi-twitch where both your screens are streaming and we can hear both of you.

Yeah, that is worded really poorly. I know this is old, but it is the wording where they changed how many devices of each type you could have active at one time.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/11/04/upcoming-change-to-playstation-3-and-psp-game-content-on-playstation-network/

That makes it a lot more clear. 2 portable devices and 2 PS3s. I have seen mention of a 5 overall device cap which would not affect me since I have the one PS3, 2 Vitas (if I get a TV), and a PS4.
Click to expand...
The wording is really confusing. I recently read they updated the policy to include 3 portable devices (not sure if that's what you mean by 5 in total), but I can't find any reputable sources to back that info. That was reported last November but as far as I can tell it never happened. Not sure if it's just erroneous or maybe kicks in once Vita TV releases stateside.

That sounds way too complicated for me and gramps.
