Yeah I'm pretty sure once you guys hear me you're all going to think I'm a hillbilly or something.
It is funny how southern accents stick out more to me now. Where I grew up everyone sounded like that. After so many years in Atlanta where people with southern accents are not all that common, when I hear someone with one it stands out more. I am sure mine catches a lot of people off guard here.

I should be able to translate if your accent is really strong though, so no worries.

 
I played 2 before 1, they actually took the present day seriously in 1, but it was pretty much pointless filler in 2 (and I assume every game going forward from that).
Did you uncover the truth video in AC 2? I was intrigued and wanted it to be something they continued in future games and reveal exactly what happened, but of course they didn't. Kinda disappointed by that.

 
You did realize the trailer was a fan trailer, right? The first trailer does come out today, though it'll be in limited theaters. I'm hoping it also gets a Youtube release instead of people having to cam and then share a low-quality one.

The setting in Rogue was fine. I didn't have complaints about that. It was just the mechanics that had issues. But by GS I meant game sharing.
Nope, I did not realize that. I hate getting false boners... Was a pretty impressive fan trailer, then.

 
After 3.5 hours of incremental inching and failing and restarting from saves....I got Saintly which is the rank below God rank...

Thankfully I just missed the target by a little bit so I was able to restart from a manual save just before the boss, have him damage me to one heart at the start of the fight (your combat score for combos is multiplied inverse to the amount of hearts you have left) and beat the boss without taking any more damage while focusing more on combos and that boosted my score enough. 3 of 11.

Thanks to Velo, Papi, Pancakes, and Bums for hanging with me while we got the challenges started tonight. I now have like 90 trophies for one fuck ing game. Never thought I would see that. Cops and Robbers is next up for me and Velo for sure. If anyone else has that DLC we will be doing it tomorrow night I think. The rest of you can do the regular challenges as the less people you have the better for those. Goes faster. But its still fun if you dont care and want to have a ton of people doing it.

Thanks to Gator for hosting the PS4 chat.
I wouldn't mind knocking out the Cops and Robbers either. Should be able to get on tonight.

That was awesome, one of my favorite parts of the game for sure. I went from intrigued to hooked on the present day story with that shit. The method of reveal kept building my anticipation up. It ended up being the highlight of the game right up there with..

assassinating the pope

At first I thought the trailer was real so I was like "why does this look like a fan movie?" Then by the point I saw the meh CGI I figured it must be a fake trailer.

You always post about whatever game you're currently playing, but you never say the names of the games. It's mildly annoying. Possibly 2.5 Therms.

That's the purpose of the trophy card, so you can see what people are playing.......................

It's El Shaddai

Working on the 3rd playthrough which you have to get God Ranked score in hard mode on all 11 chapters.

You could always click his trophy card if you missed the several times he said he was playing El Shaddai. :)

Edit: Too late.

no shit, in unity the 'present day' has been about 1-2 minutes of video chat with a 'hacker' and brief voice overs (from the same hacker) in the simulation. oh and I guess the weird ass helix rift video game stuff where you hop from building to building collecting colored tokens for points although that's still simulation I guess (and yes, I'm not making that up).

I still have 4 out of 12 (?) sequences left though, so who knows.
 
So Stotch is basically having the worst few days of his life. The break-up with Dovah, and now fired for yelling at the boss lady.

 
Zimm, Velo (feel like I'm missing someone else, maybe Therm but I think he said he's waiting longer), you guys grabbing a PS4 this week?
Nope. Too poor.

If you can't get one via ebay, you may want to watch the ol' Cartwheel Tuesday. Won't be as good a deal and I can't really say more, but just a heads up.

 
I need to play Jak 3 soon. I got the collection from my EU PS+ account which expires around 12/9. Wishing I'd played 2 months ago instead of just a month or so back. Going from 2 to 3 so quickly will probably be rough. I'll knock out a couple of quick games before I start 3, just to get some momentum back after that heavy 2-week Rogue session. Probably start with Twisted Metal: Black since that looks to take ~5 hours. After that...not sure. Somebody make a suggestion for something I can knock out in ~10 hours or less according to my howlongtobeat backlog:

Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien
For the love of Dovah, play this shit now!

 
Don't know if it's been answered yet but you don't need to get a diamond cup.
if my lame ass can get a diamond cup, so can you. if you don't want to work on the highest level of awesomeness trophy until you're 50 you'll probably be shooting for diamonds anyways (and getting pretty good at it). I'll definitely do dailies with you if you end up playing it on vita.
 
I finished up the South Park campaign and collectables last night.  Great fucking game.  So gross and weird and offensive and goddamn hilarious. Loved every minute of it.  Only have to go back and beat the end boss again with certain "enhancements" and start a new game as a Jew to get that trophy and the plat is mine. 

And I can 100% confirm that the fuckshit that commented on the PST.org trophy list that exchanging monies will invalidate the "don't sell anything" trophy is a complete fuckshit that got me worked up over nothing.  Popped just like it should for me.  Thanks for talking me off the ledge about that yesterday so I didn't go back and re-do a day and a half.

 
Finally got back to some gaming:

THE BEAST IS IN NEW MARAIS

I stopped right before the final mission, so maybe I can kick off another backlog game over the long weekend. :)

I could be down for cops & robbers tonight, but won't be on until at least after 10pm central, probably closer to 10:30. Going to the Timberwolves/Bucks game tonight.

Don't be jealous. I know.

 
Resident Evil, platinum, shared trophy list between ps3 and ps4.

http://www.exophase.com/game/resident-evil-psn/trophies/
my least favorite trophy list I think I've ever seen.

finish invisible enemy mode? pass
finish using only your knife? pass
finish the game in 3 hours or less? pass
finish the game without saving? fuck YOU I AM NOT MADE OF TIME
trophies where you have to complete the game as different characters performing different objectives? pass

all the absurdity and number of playthroughs of the evil within trophies only tighter and more annoying sounding. I'll bet the difficulty trophies don't even stack. maybe someone will figure out a way to get all of those trophies in one easy run, but right now it looks awful enough to knock me off the fence on to the side of 'no buy for now'. which is weird, since most resident evil games are day one for me. I guess I always hated the original though.

Didn't you get it when it was glitched though or is it really not that bad?

I am sure that will be better than the Gwinnett Gladiators (ECHL) game I am going to on Thanksgiving night.

 
I just learned that a basketball game between two small market teams and a minor (semi pro?) league hockey game pass as a good time in Minnesota/Wisconsin (where the fuck does Zimm live?!) and Georgia respectively.

I actually dig minor league hockey. When my wife and I were dating and living in Green Bay, we used to go see the Green Bay Gamblers play all the time. Nice cheap seats. Could get on the glass easy enough. Got to park in the Lambeau Field parking lot to go to the arena. Good times. A few players actually made it to the NHL too.

sadly I wasn't able to get in on the glitch day so I did it legit. it is tough, especially since (like every other game) there are some jags that make it their life's mission to beat fucking everyone every single day. the real problem though is the tiny vita userbase - since it's what, like top 1% or something for the diamond cup? the average when I was playing was 400-500 people meaning you had to be in the top 4-5, and the time differences were measured in hundredths of a second. people also push up until the last second so if you're in 5th out of 500 with 2 minutes to go you'll probably be knocked down to 6th or 7th before it's over. I think the day I won had slightly more people (600-700) and I was in 6th or 7th, so just barely got it.

so I've talked myself out of talking you in to it. that was really really tough. if you're masochistic enough to want to try to do that go for it, but beware.

In my case, my wife has made it a tradition on Thanksgiving night to go to that hockey game. I probably could have gotten out of it this year, but it would have meant going shopping at Wal-Mart for the deals they have that day. Yeah... fuck that.

They actually do a better job than when the Thrashers were here in terms of keeping the crowd in the game with stupid shit on the ice all the time. It is not a terrible time.

It is considered a minor league of sorts. They are affiliated with the NHL team in Arizona.

Born & raised in Wisconsin (except for 3 years), and now live in Minnesota.

Try to keep up.
