Anyone have Type 0 CE preordered at both Best Buy and Amazon? I'm trying to figure out when I can actually rely on BB to ship it and finally cancel the Amazon one I have as a backup. Anyone in a similar boat?

I do, and I'm just keeping the Amazon order which I also placed as a backup. Worse-case scenario I can sell it at cost to convert the Amazon credit I used into cash.

Sorta, rather than being along with the heroes reveling in the celebrity, the POV in the show is the perspective of the "normals" who have to deal with the aftermath of titans using the world as their playground. There are some that worship them, but there are many that resent them for the friends and family they've lost to their battles. As one character described it, paraphrasing "the villain came to blow up a school with a bomb, the hero came to stop him and in the battle the 'hero' destroyed the school, killing them anyway. The villain got away and the hero got a movie deal."

The more popular the heroes are, the more above the law they feel (just like many other present day celebrities). There's a reason why they aren't classified as super-heroes and super-villains, but just "Powers" as the heroes aren't white knights.

I'm way more interested in it now after reading your description. Sounds like interesting dynamics are afoot.

Not much to set up, plug in the dongle and turn on the headset, it should just work.

Charge them up. Don't I have to go into the settings on the PS3 and tell it what audio I want to send? Or is it smart enough to send it all? Mess around with levels and maybe play a bit of SR4 finally.

This video cracked me up.  The guy gets super pissed at Gamestop for throwing stuff out and intentionally destroying it rather than donating it or something.  Almost assuredly he's just pissed because he wasn't able to salvage much from it.  

He's a huge dumbass.  My favorite line is when he's going to try and salvage a headset that had the cord cut.  "I can splice the cords. Good thing I know electrical engineering."  Yup, that electrical engineering background is sure paying off for him considering he is raiding Gamestop's trash dumpster.

He also lambastes Gamestop for "being cheap" while digging through other people's trash.

I wonder if his umbilical cord was ever cut? If not, I'm sure GS could cut it for him.

"This *holds up 360 chat pad*. I can probably still use this." Wait, you're not going to go donate that to a hospital? Yeah, guy, they know you're digging through the trash and scratched the discs as a way to tell you to go fuck yourself.

Humble has a Bloom County books bundle this week. The BTA (currently 15.52) and BTA + $5 tiers keep going up but you can penny in for the first 4 volumes. https://www.humblebundle.com/books

I love the book bundles they're putting together but the prices are just too high on every one for me to get anything but the base tier.

He is dumb and his reasons probably aren't pure but GS is really dumb about then and could do a number of other things with it.

Pretty sure they were one of the bandwagon teams last year too.

 
Man, now I want to play Mega Man 10 again. I was trying for a perfect run back in the day, but one stage just pissed me off so hard that I rage quit like a big Cro baby.
 
That Mighty Flip Champs DX free game for PS+ has a PS+ expiration date.  I checked after I downloaded and installed last night.

Fun fact - my ps4 is currently on an outlet that's connected to a light switch. My wife turns it off every time she goes in the basement. Suspend hijinks can soon commence!
 
AC Rogue pros, 

Is it beneficial to have multiple naval campaign missions going at the same time?  I'm up to number 18 (got the trophy last nght) and havent really been doing ships on the other missions besides whatever main one I'm working on.  Should I start doing that in prep for the later naval campaign levels?

JayPee has the moral high ground and with that alone has the right to bitch. Never mind that he is stealing (and trespassing) as noticed by the enclosed cinder block fence. In a perfect world it would be nice to salvage stuff that works or that can be repaired, resold or recycled, but we don't. It's ok because JayPee is set; he knows electrical engineering and feels for the downtrodden

Nope, just keep doing the bottom one in the list to open up another location. Really even that is useless after the trophy unless you need it to get to 65 challenges. If you do all 33 you will get 2 challenges towards the 65.

 
Dear Diary,

My long running fantasy league underwent a mutiny and a bunch of rules were changed, the result of which being that I'm not putting money on a H2H format. Bummed that I won't be in a competitive league, but at least the other guys in the league won't have to give me their money for the 5th time in 6 years. Or something.

But for real, I'll be able to devote more time to getting my business up and running. Worse things have happened.

Thanks. Thats what I've been doing so far so I'll just keep at it. Its pretty easy to do the main missions at least so hopefully it will save me from grinding some other challenge en route to 65.

This looks like it could be good: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/03/11/lost-dimension-coming-to-ps3-ps-vita-this-summer/#sf7945008

Summer release on PS3/Vita for $39.99.

EDIT: Based on this import review, I can wait for it to drop to $20-$25.

Did you read it to the end? His review is very confusing as he goes on from how it is a whole pile of shit. Praises some points and really doesn't seem to go on why it is evidently bad. He complains about the lack of depth of story and then the whole grind of playing multiple playthroughs (but that isn't new for Japan). In the conclusion he contradicts himself by saying how it was just a decent game compared to his original statement. I'm going to expect Mind Zer0 level of work here so I'll be fine with that.

The whole plot seems fairly interesting even though it doesn't go that deep. The combat seems to be effective so that's always a plus.

Enough therming around, I would get this day one if Bestbuy didn't go out of the vita business.

@Zimm  How far are you in Flame Over?  Are those stupid ladies the only way to get coins for upgrades?  So far I haven't been able to collect any so all of my money seems to go to waste.

 
I do not know why I can not remember to avoid looking at the trophies while playing a game on the PS3.  Unless I am really quick and get back to the game it always locks the PS3.  

I am busy hoping there were auto-saves in Gat out of Hell while I wait on the PS3 to check the file system.  It really is amazing how much the PS3 seems like a POS compared to the PS4.
