The React channel is my YouTube crack. I enjoy watching people play scary games the most. The Oculus Rift one is cool:

The gaming ones are great in general.

In that video I love how they say how GTA is bad then they enjoy stealing cars and being criminals. One lady made a remark about foul language then was laughing and smiling while shooting people. They all had fun shooting people once they discovered guns. The lady who enjoyed riding the roller coaster was cool.

Now I'm watching teens play I Am Bread. "Wait a second. Am I the bread?" Lol.

Uh...

I might have actually lost. All I got was the headset, wireless adapter, and Quick Start guide.

EDIT: Never mind, I found the audio and charging cables underneath the tray. I don't think I really need the pouch or Safety Guide.

you actually bought a used headset?

Eh, I bought the El Gato.  Thanks Crunch.  I hadn't signed up for the Amazon card so I got a $70 GC with that and used it to make it cheaper.

Anyone use the Amazon card?  The Rewards seem decent, at least equal to Chase Freedom which is what I use now.  Freedom has gone WAY downhill over the last year with all the changes they've made.  Maybe I'll just start using the Amazon one and close the Freedom account.

 
My work laptop should be more than powerful enough for the El Gato to work for me.  I doubt my home laptop will work.  Guess we'll find out next week.

It will be cool to stream PS3 games so I really hope it works well for me and isn't too complex.

The wife got one for xmas gifts. 5% all the time on Amazon and 2% all the time on gas, IIRC. It's a decent secondary card to our Discover cards. Discover has a rotating quarterly 5% discount category, and 1% on every thing else. Right now it's 5% on gas, so I'm using Discover, but the rest of the year I'll use Amazon for gas. OTOH during 4th quarter the Discover is 5% off all online shopping so that one will be more useful than Amazon.

Mine says 3% on Amazon, 2% on gas and restaurants, 1% on everything else. Chase Freedom is 5% rotating categories too with 1% on everything else. But I don't buy much from those rotating categories, I've got a feeling 3% on Amazon and 2% on gas would make up for that.

Freedom used to have 10 points (10 cents) on every transaction as well, which really added up. $2 at McDonalds would earn that 10 cent bonus. When they did away with that my rewards dropped noticeably. Also used to get an extra 10% of all bonus points earned every month since I had a checking account with them, they discontinued that as well.

I definitely may switch and use the Amazon as my new primary. Nice that it's through Chase and I already have money there to pay it off every month.

why don't you build your own pc, especially if you plan to stream. most pre-made laptops are trash, especially if you want to play games, and stream at the same time. or have your friends who know about computers, build one for you

Actually I just double-checked and you're right, it's 3%. Same deal you've got.

Not sure which categories Chase Freedom does. Discover has Gas, Movies + Restaurants, Home Improvement, and Online Shopping. So it's categories are actually useful 3/4 of the year, at least to some extent. Gas and Online Shopping are definitely the best quarters.

All online would be nice. Chase only has Amazon 5%. Other than that exactly the same as you, except I have Grocery Stores instead of home improvement. And that excludes Walmart and Target for whatever the hell reason!

It would be a waste of money because I don't game on PC and I don't want to. If neither of my laptops work then I'll just send the El Gato back.

 
Any chance at all that Backstrom is any good?  It premieres tonight on Fox.  I like Rainn Wilson so I would like the show to be ok.

EDIT: 2/10 on IGN.  uh oh.

The El Gato is pretty easy to set up. Most difficult part of it was switching over from my hdmi cord to the one the el gato came with since you have to do it within a time frame and all my wires are behind the tv. Other than that the main thing is remembering that even if you're not streaming you've got to have the computer on for ps3 video to show on the tv. The software itself is pretty simple to use, once you've got your account connected its just click record and go.

i thought you plan to quit your regular job, and start a youtube /twitch streaming career, by posting videos of your gameplays, and streaming. and asking for donations from strangers on the internet.

Haha well if I did that then yeah I'd want a sweet PC. But that will definitely never happen.

The best part of streaming is just having people to hang out with while you're playing games. And having people help me play. Got a lot of help during Rogue Legacy. When I play stuff like Dark Souls hopefully viewers will help out.

just get bloodborne, it has actual multiplayer, so someone can actually help you. instead of having to summoning players like dark souls 1/2

Yeah I'll get it when it's cheap. Not getting it right away. I"ve heard it's a bit more accessible than it's predecessors.

I actually had meant to post about this. I havent had a credit card yet but got one of those Chase Freedom offers in the mail. Starting to think about getting one to build my credit up a bit before buying a house....worth it?

My Walmart order still hasn't been cancelled. Hoping that stays the same.

Type-0 HD is kind of a shit port, to be honest. The only changes they made were to adjust some balancing and to take out the ad-hoc multiplayer. The textures are still the same from what I can tell. Admittedly they were pretty damn good textures for the PSP, but when looking at PPSSPP videos of the game rendered at 1080p it looks just like the released footage of the HD version.

You absolutely want a decent credit score when buying a house. Bump it to ~750 and you should be fine.

Yeah the game just doesn't look like a ps4 game to me graphically. Hopefully the gameplay is as good as I hear it is.

My Walmart order got cancelled so I will most likely wait awhile before picking it up.

 
I just realized that after Mentalist ends here soon I'll be out of silly detective shows. I don't count Brooklyn 99 since most episodes don't even have them going after criminals. 

Anybody have a suggestion for a good one to watch? Castle has really dropped off in quality IMO over the past 2-3 years.
