Tyler and Matt, didn't Merc Kings not have voice chat at all?  We had to do party chat to talk while playing, right?  Just an FYI to Gator.  It shouldn't matter what the devs were saying about vita cross chat.

I can't believe it, I stayed strong through the Assassin's sale and bought none. I figure I might just start with 4 since I only ever played about half of 1, Bloodlines, and Liberation on Vita. My backlog thanks me, I'm hoping to keep hitting it hard because it seems as though 2015 will be busy gaming wise.

I cannot overstate just how much you need to beat Spec Ops: The Line. :joystick:

 
My wife and I are glad we work from home. When I was working a real job it sucked cuz I had to work 3-11 and my kids were at school during the day so I barely saw my older girls. Now I see the kids all the time so it is awesome. Also I would much rather my grrl watch our kids all the time then have to pay some stranger to watch our kids, too many weirdos out there.

I'm on it, I only got in about 20 mins last night. I'm up to Chapter 5. I very rarely quit a game I start these days. At least story wise, not 100%.

That's what I meant. However, there are a few different "endings" that you should see, even if that means you beat the game once and watch the others on Youtube.

My wife worked for a big corporation making ok money before we had our daughter. After she was born, it just did not make sense to continue. After childcare, groceries and gas she netted like $100 each month. Now she nannies for 2 kids and has our 2 kids. Crazy, but she loves the ability to be with our kids everyday and feels like the 2 kids she nannies for are family as well. I work about 5 minutes from my house so that is pretty cool as well. Never would have thought about these things before, but now they are the most important things about work.

I'm glad this game was free on Plus, might have missed it otherwise...didn't even realize it was 3rd person as opposed to 1st.

Munky, how you liking SoM? Sorry for all the talk regarding it, i am super hyped and can't play until I get home tonight, and even then I can only remote play it...

So far, so good. I only got probably a little over an hour with it before I had to come back to work. It's taking a little while to get used to the controls. X Cross is run and R2 is stealth crouch walk and my assassin's creed playing brain definitely wants R2 to be run. So I'm constantly ducking down and moving slowly when I want to get out of somewhere fast. There also doesn't seem to be a way to kill guys that you've already knocked down quickly. So if you're fighting a crowd and you knock someone over you can't do a quick ground pound a la Batman. If you try to kill him, it takes a little while and someone else usually hits you. That just means that knocked down people get back up and starts fighting you again and it takes a little while to take on a group. I wouldn't be surprised if you unlock it though. I unlocked the instant kill after you get up to an 8x combo move, so that helps. But it seems like it's going to be a lot of fun once I get more into all the systems and upgrades and everything.

I am sure you know about R2 + box? I think that's the move to kill guys on the ground... But I do know there is an upgrade to do that ground kill even quicker

That makes more sense about the lack of answer about the Vita mic then. Thanks.

I do not plan on changing my no paying for an avatar stance. Now if there was a UF Gator logo that was drinking a beer, I might have to rethink.

EDIT: I am no biologist, but that second one looks more like a crocodile to me with the pointy snout and that color pattern.

Dude, I was watching FSU play NC State this weekend and they were getting torched by the NC State QB. Turns out he was signed by UF and left. How the fuck do the Gators let that guy go when they havent had a good QB in years?! dammit man.

EDIT: Good stance on the avatars. I have the same philosophy.

Yeah, that's the ground kill move, but it usually takes too long. I'll definitely get the upgrade to speed that up when I can. It will be super useful. The upgrades are all on tiers. It's not in the first tier and I didn't go looking at all the stuff I can't get yet, so we'll see when it pops up.

Believe it or not, they picked Driskel over that kid. They were the same class. Driskel had already committed to play before Meyer bailed. Weis is the one that then recruited the kid now at NCSU when Muschamp got the gig and was hired as the OC. Then Weis left and Pease (the new OC who isnt there anymore either) chose Driskel so Brissett transferred. Boston College also has a kid that played for UF last year that has played well too. He is not much of a passer though, but he doesnt make stupid mistakes like Driskel.

I do not usually think the backup is an answer, but Driskel has had enough shots at this point. It seems many players on the team do not care for him based on tweets that go out and then get deleted. They need to play one of the freshmen now. I liked what little I saw of Treon Harris. Hard not to when he was 2/2 with 2 TDs and like 130 yards or something insane.

Sweet. New PvZ: Garden Warfare update seems to add a lot of new shit. New game modes, new maps, new characters, updates to garden ops mode. Hopefully new trophies.

thanks! and yeah, we're pretty familiar with the gnarly cost of living there in the bay area and 'bugles' pays well enough where it shouldn't be too much of an issue. hopefully. but we've also lived poor before so we're pretty comfortable being broke if need be and it's definitely worth it to us for the change of lifestyle and locale for the family and the job.

What is your phone number? What hours of the day is your house most likely to be empty? What school do your children go to? What is the name of the street you grew up on?

 
Nothing for me from this week's sales. If only Symphony of the Night had trophies and New Little King's Story was

Its going to be raining tonight when I go pickup my SoM preorder.  I am just hoping I can go to the games section and bring up my own copy so I dont have to wait for them to get it at CS.  And I have to hope some soccer mom isnt tying up the line trying to return a printer or other crap!

I traded in Destiny at bestbuy for $44 today. I got 3 weeks out of it and +$6 profit so im content.

Finished at level 28 with all trophies cept all ghosts, exotic maxed, and raid without death and hard raid.

I will rebuy again when they have a complete edition hopefully next year.

Symphony of the Night should def have trophies, just so I will have an excuse to play it again. That game is awesome.

Crissaegrim was the shit.
