That happens on rare occasion. I think they try to turn around games that come back in, and if it is close enough to the top of your list and just came in, they send that out to you. You can play tricks with it and do the hold for my top game thing if your top game is available now. Just realize if you leave it as that and it isnt available, you will be waiting longer than usual.

Wouldn't have bothered me so much if they hadn't been dropping from my low half this whole time. Sniper elite was the only game they sent me from my top 5 so far. Sacred was actually 7th, forgot I added some more stuff. I'll just send it back. Unless I finish south park before it gets here.

I thought The Slammin' Salmon was underrated.

What's the deal with the trophies for the Arkedo games? PStrophies.org says that "Arkedo Series" has 14 trophies, and then it lists 9, 12, and 12 for the individual games.

To add to what Tyler said about the regions, the top is US. The 3 individual ones are from the EU store. That is why the trophy listing is odd on .org

Still playing Demon Gaze. Stalled a bit as the new area I'm in is a big jump in difficulty. I have to say the auto-walk feature is brilliant. I'm sure other games have done it, but it's great to hit box to bring up the map, select a square 500 screens away, and have it automatically set the character walking there. Routing is perfect except for when there's a square that spins your character around, which makes it stop. Any items are picked up if the en route and navigation resumes automatically after every fight. The only complaint I have is that you can't go into the menu (to heal yourself after a fight) and have it resume--going into the menu kills the navigation and you have to select your destination again. Still very cool, though.

Also nice that you can just hold down the treasure button to speed through combat since it remembers all the choices you made for the previous round of battle (except for items.) This is true even between fights, so if you're just having everybody do the same set of attacks all the time, hold down X and the only time you have to deliberately press it again is at the confirmation stage before each round of battle (this makes it so you can't just speed through the beginning of a round accidentally and miss a chance to heal or change instructions.)

 
Because you guys like to tell me how old I am.  I still get paper statements for my bills.  I like getting them to help remind me to pay them etc.  I also dont like just switching to paperless because I feel like I am saving the company money so I should get something too.  Well that finally paid off in the form of a $5 reward cert from Best Buy.  Just got the email/offer today.

how hard was the 25 rune?
Click to expand...
It could have been worse for me, but it does seem like it's a little random. The problem was, I didn't read a bunch of guides on it first so I spent a while setting it up and then I ended up with an epic rune instead of a level 25 one, which pissed me off and wasted a lot of my time. The fact that I put out a death threat on the guy was the problem since that greatly increases the chance of getting an epic rune.

I looked around on my board of captains, found a guy who was on the second tier, level 18, already knew his strengths and weaknesses, had hatred of fire, wasn't immune to ranged, and had already killed me. I killed the warchief he was a bodyguard for, he took that warchief spot and went up to level 19. I ran away and started another mission to fight him and died on purpose to get him up to level 20. Finally did another mission, went right up to him and activated the mega bow and just pumped him full of fire arrows until he died. Level 20 + 2 for warchief + 1 for having intel on him + 1 for revenge + 1 for using his fire hate.

If it wasn't for him already having all the attributes I listed in the first sentence, it would've taken a lot longer.

 
Since I feel like I already played through Destiny by reading this thread, I'll probably look out for the next good bundle. Maybe mgs 5 bundle since I have the mgsiv ps3 bundle (and never played the game thanks to MLB the show and MW2 at the time)

Hmm.... since the guide on PS trophies says to put a death threat, I am wondering if you need exactly 25 points, and anything above that gets an epic?

Are you looking at a placeholder date maybe? The console version doesn't have a release date. Pretty safe to assume it will be the 14th, 21st, or 28th though.

Probably. I saw something about it releasing the last week of October on the consoles and ran with it.

My new vent will be that it doesn't have a release date at all for consoles. That's like Madden [insert stupid comparison here].

No--death threats automatically make it 40% more likely that you'll get an epic rune. PST's guide isn't the best way to go here IMO.

Am I the only one who got an Epic rune (fully recovers your Health and Focus when you kill a Captain) during the "tutorial" for killing Captains, or is that always rewarded?

I feel so happy and content today having that brief episode of being blocked. I could have missed out on The Pix The Cat info, Guardian_Owl's Spec Ops help, and Arkedo trophy discussions among other things! Let the OT run free!

I do this same thing. If they want my money they better send me a bill in the mail asking for it.

Wow, I'm not the only one. I heart you so much I am going to take you behind the middle school and get you pregnant. /tracyjordan
 
Anything else happen with FWB last night Tyler? I put up a picture of me and my girl on the stream right when snakeys stream stopped, so Im scared I just threw it up there just to fuel Snakeys vinegar strokes.

Awww I missed the pic! Damn.

Nah nothing happened, she called again around 1230 but I was too tired to go all the way over to her place

 
PixDev was just wondering if anyone was planning to stream tonight.  "Would be amazing!"

I told him I would be, but just throwing it out there if anyone else wants to stream too.

Nothing on Gamefly today unless you want Bioshock Infinite for $8.99 or Beyond: Two Souls for $12.99 (hilarious considering it'll be $9.99 new at Best Buy next week). :roll:

Yup, the October games show up as free when you search for them, but they aren't under the Free Games section yet.

EDIT: Rainbow Moon isn't free yet for some reason. :whistle2:k Also, is Spelunky supposed to just say "Free", without any other price crossed out?
Click to expand...
Mine has the price crossed out on spelunky, and there is a cross buy bundle for Rainbow Moon that shows as free.

Beyond for $9.99? I might try that at that price. Maybe I should wait for digital. Maybe I shouldn't add to the backlog.
