I canceled that white DS4. Good price but if I'm adding up Race the Sun, PvZ:GW and the DS4, suddenly I'm spending more than I should right now. Oh well. At least it was pretty easy to cancel.

Mid 90s for me back when Let's Go started becoming a "hit" and getting airplay on "alternative" radio.

I remember buying the Op Ivy disc and a Fugazi t-shirt from the "punk" store in the Mall of America back in 95. (Talk about irony)

Theres a punk store in MOA?

It can't hold a candle to the cheese store I bet.

Thanks this reminded me to update my PSN purchases spreadsheet. I think I'm doing pretty good this year.

Total Games 50
Total Cost $234.59
Average Cost Per Game $4.69
Total PS3 Games Bought 26
Total Vita Games Bought 22
Total PS4 Games Bought 2

EDIT: And I just got an Uncharted Golden Abyss theme for my Vita free the other day!

Uh, that's the acronym for roll playing games, old man. We certainly didn't always say "role playing game". We said, RPG.

That Uncharted:GA theme is too hard on the eyes. I went back to the standard theme. So far it's still the best. Plus I didn't love Uncharted:GA anyway.

I love me some Fugazi. I remember when I first heard Repeater and it was gold. I take it you bought the shirt that said,"This is not a Fugazi T-Shirt". I liked how Fugazi wasn't about merch and all about the music.

Being from the baltimore-washington corridor, fugazi was pretty huge here. Minor threat before them as well.

 
I'm just glad I had an older brother that knew about great music. When I was in elementary school I listened to lots of music that the other kids didn't know about. I would bring cassette tapes and let others borrow them until some parents got pissed off. I was lucky to have parents that let us listen to the music we enjoyed even if it was considered not the normal music on the radio. My mom liked Minor Threat because they were Straight Edge. She thought the message of no alcohol, no tobacco, no drugs or having random sex partners was a good message even though the music was loud.
 
I brought a Metallica tape in to 5th grade, Ride The Lightning, when we were told we could play music for the class that we liked. I too had an older brother that listened to music. When I played it I thought the teacher was going to have me committed. Lol.

Almost every game has RPG-elements of some kind, like backlog said. People are welcome to think Zelda games are RPG's, that's just fine. Like stotch said, I'm welcome to think that people who think the Zelda games are RPG's are retarded, that's just fine too.

Any further discussion on this topic is unnecessary because there's no cut-and-dry answer.

That ending sentence made me think this was something Frisky said. You'll be there soon if you keep this snooty attitude up!

Yeah but Frisky still would have kept responding about it over and over, even after typing that.

And to be clear, I never disliked Frisky nearly as much as you guys did. He was randomly overly abrasive which caught me off guard a lot, but besides that I had no problem with him.

 
I need to listen to Repeater.  I think I only have 13 Songs.  My older sister would listen to all sorts of stuff and then whatever her current boyfriend was listening to also.  I probably still have some of her Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd tapes though.

Most adults don't expect kids to be listening to all these styles of music. Well I'm glad I can now pass on the music I grew up on to my nephew. All the music I listened to growing up was better than 90% of shit that comes on the radio these days.

I just don't really see what is so different from Zelda and a game like Oblivion which I'm sure most would automatically say is an RPG. If they all say action adventure than I'm 100% wrong. I agree though no cut and dry answer.

Ability to craft a character. In Zelda you are link, or a Link-like being with a different name, there is no room to craft a character who does good or bad things, just like Wolfenstein or Super Mario. Of course if you go by that definition, then we're back to a lot of J-RPGs not being RPGs so that doesn't work either.

I remember the first time my older brother had me listen to his Appetite for Destruction cassette on my Walkman. I was in fourth or fifth grade I think, and I felt like such a guilty bad ass the first time he screamed "why don't you just...fuck OFF!" in the middle of It's So Easy. Sitting there hearing a swear word that I wasn't allowed to say in this hard grungy music I had never heard while my mom sat in the same room was pure youngster awesome.

See if I didn't post that Operation Ivy link than Therm would of never heard of them. If I can post some music that someone else enjoys than it's a win in my book.
 
I kinda wanna pre-order LBP3 just for that 6" sackboy plushie.  But it comes out the same day as Far Cry 4 so I'd have to go out of pocket for part of one of them...

 
Why are you idiots arguing about what constitutes an RPG? It's fucking simple. Maybe next we can argue about what constitutes a sports game since sports is competition so any game with any semblance of competition must be a sports game.

Reminds me of when I got offspring-smash when I was 10 blaring the song where they scream.."you stupid dumbshit goddamm motherfucker!"

Any of you punks listen to Authority Zero? I like them a lot as far as newer west coast punk music.

I am going to break my own rule on digital purchases and pre-order it on PSN. My kid still plays LBP2 religiously and I like having the Plus version digitally on PS3 so he no longer deals with discs. I was really hoping for more good sales this month to get to the $100 with that already being such a huge portion of that amount, but Sony has failed me.

That sounds like pretty much every multiplayer deathmatch shooter ever and why that aspect of the FPS genre doesn't appeal to me. I'm probably 85% a single or co-op player; at least on consoles.

 
yowza I still haven't even started lbp2, I'm scared of it considering how much time I put into lbp/lbp vita. unless it's god's gift to video games compared to lbp3, maybe I'm better off skipping it and waiting for 3.
