Whenever I can half-ass the raid and get it like you did, I'm all over it. Knowing my luck I'll get some other stuff as well to turn the jealousy tables around. Another note...some nub who was at the bottom of the Crucible team this morning got a fuckING GJALLERHORN!!! WTF!

It's funny, because I probably spent more time on just that one part of the raid I did than I have on the entire raids we've done. That's what happens when you play with a whole group of Snakey nubs.

Also that sounds gross.

I mean I dont really have a problem with it, I'm just super jealous. It does sting that its almost always the people at/near the bottom getting everything though. Even more so when they just jumped in at the last minute like this dude did lol.

Can't be any worse than getting teamed up with those 2 guys who jumped in after we helped Pravado. Idk, you guys did beat it though, so they had to at least be competent. And yeah, barf in my mouth at that last part. Even worse than seeing Hope Solo's butthole.

Wheres this butthole at ?

Shes my kinda crazy.

 
Apparently I can easily get the Level 25 rune in SoM if I issue a Death Threat to a Warchief with bodyguards I've branded, then let them kill him at Level 20, as that should guarantee a standard non-Epic rune since I'm not the one who kills him.

I can taste the plat now... =P~

So it looks like they're giving away $10 Best Buy gift cards in-store with a purchase of Evil Within.  I'm guessing they'll do the same thing with Shadow Warriors next week so I don't have to pre-order it online and have my GC get stuck in UPS/USPS limbo.  Shipped last Sunday and I still have no idea where that thing is...

That's very strange, but I recall Standard shipping taking a noticeably longer time than Expedited, so hopefully you'll get it this week.

Vig you keeping an eye on Gamefly? Seems like for sure there should be a monthly sale today...
Click to expand...
If there is and it's like previous monthly sales, it'll go live around 1pm EST / 10am PST. I'll keep an eye on it just in case.

I played one match this morning. I was the worst by far. I still got nothing. I did get 7 kills in a row at the end but overall a horrible game. I can do well or not I usually don't get too much in Crucible either way. And I think I have gotten 100 marks each and every week so I have played a fair amount.

Yeah, it does sometimes take forever. There's something about that UPS to USPS handoff that fucks things up almost every time I get something shipped from Best Buy in that manner. Whenever I see that it's being shipped by UPS Innovations I always cringe.

I bought Toy Story 3 from them once and it took over a month. I'll just call and bitch to Best Buy later this week if I still don't have it. If I get a decent rep, they should be able to just give me 500 Reward Zone points if it is indeed lost in the mail.

Kinda defeats the purpose of NG+, no?

I agree, though this isn't the first time NG+ has worked this way (e.g., Dead Space, The Last of Us).

And in typical Best Buy fashion, you'd probably receive the $10 GC in your mail a few days later. :roll:

 
Oh, nice update, though; Sound Shape community levels now get difficulty ratings. They're organic and based upon the average number of plays and deaths people have for a specific level; ratings are suppressed until a level has been played 10 times in order to have at least a small sample to pull from.

Does anyone in here watch Parks & Recreation? I want to start collecting the season sets, but I noticed that the first season has a noticeably lower episode count and overall rating--would I miss out on much if I started with Season 2?

How long have they had the daily community challenge with leaderboards? That's pretty cool too.

They're on Netflix. Just watch it there and buy if you decide you want a copy.

Thanks, but I'm more of a library-borrower than a Netflix...er. Maybe I'll check out the first season through my local branch if I'm really, really, really bored and/or desperate. But otherwise:

Why dont you just do in store pickup for preorders?

In general, that may be a good idea (unless you're preordering a more niche title like Danganronpa or whatever, in which case ship-to-home is better), but for The Evil Within's $10 GC offer, the GC only had the ship-to-home option available.

I still can't view replays (Spelunky) from some friends, like jkam. I was able to see that one run tyler did several days ago, and I can view the replays of complete strangers, so I'm blaming it on jkam.

I just need to get the shield to finish my journal. First attempt I got squashed by it.

I didn't encrypt my Spelunky runs I swear, although I should because they have been pretty bad so far on PS4.

It's not that the game isn't focused towards male teenagers or whatever but I feel like this statement really isn't fair to the girl gamers that enjoy and like the game as well. I almost feel like this woman should start making games. If you don't like the state of the media do something positive to change it. All of these news stories (which I don't follow) are so sensationalist for the sake of sensationalism. Everything, Absoutely EVERYTHING is about damn page views at this point.

Should have it at my house when I get home from the Amazon.

Yeah I have mine coming from Amazon as well.

I'm really looking forward to the huge backlash coming when people buy a PS TV with the intent of streaming games from their PS4 and then realize only one PS4 account can be streamed. This is absolutely going to be an issue unless the thing doesn't sell at all (which is a possibility.)

Yeah, it's a great show.

Everyone hates on the first season for no reason that I can figure out. Yeah, Season 2 and 3 are better, but you should definitely watch the first season as well. It's only 6 episodes long and pretty funny.

I seriously don't understand why people don't like the first season. I think it's just one of those bandwagon things where someone hears it and think it makes them sound smart to repeat over and over to everyone else.

 
getting quite thoroughly cockblocked by xbox customer service re: refund of microsoft points.  at least the gal is being nice about it.  I told her that I lost my thumbs in the war diffusing a car bomb so I'm no longer able to use a controller so she should ask her boss if she can refund the money to an american hero.  Did I go too far?

I second the notion season one wasn't very good. It was just a six-episode mid-season deal. Quality leaped big time in season two. One of my favorite shows on now. Though my OCD side would struggle starting I season two when on is so short.

Say you have 3 PSN accounts on the PS4. When you set up the PS TV, you set it up using one of those 3 accounts. That one account can stream from the PS4, but the other two cannot since PS TV does not have account switching. So if you have 3 gamers in the house, two are SOL.

That's my understanding, anyway--that the streaming is locked to the account that you're using on the PS TV. I can't imagine it working any other way.

That sounds right, but do most households have that many accounts on their PS4's do you think?
