The only vacations I take now are driving 5 hours to Milwaukee with my son to stay at my parents house and listen to my mom get drunk and make racist/homophobic comments before and after a Brewer game or two at Miller Park. While my wife stays home.

Forgetting the crazy mom (although that might be fun to watch in small doses), getting away from the wife for a while is a great vacation by itself.

Gator, is Young Justice: Legacy as bad as reviews indicate?
Click to expand...
I don't think it is terrible personally. I have not read any of the reviews to know what they complained about, but the biggest issue to me was the just dropping you in with no real discussion of the combat methods at all. The upgrades you have to figure out map to a particular button attack. After all that, it becomes a rather simplistic squad based beat em up style game. Having not played Diablo, it looks like a much more watered down version of that with PS2 level graphics.

I have played a lot of way worse games. Maybe my expectation was so low that I am just happy I do not completely hate it, but I don't think it is that bad.

 
Heads up for people with Half Price Books in their area, they're doing another one of their increasing coupon things again starting tomorrow.

So tomorrow and Thursday coupon is for 30% your highest priced item, Friday & Saturday is 40%, then Sunday is 50%.  Sign up on the website for email offers to get the coupons, or they usually have them hanging out in the store too.

Inverted access is going to do an online get together for Hardline Thursday night and stream if both of you care to join? Come on Pharm, just give MP a try with some other people just once... you can get a couple online trophies in the process?

8 p.m. Est is what time we will start

 
I thought I remembered someone on here saying they got the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle game that recently came out, but I do not see anything in the friend's score on TT.  I was trying to use it to pad my top 5 with lower availability games in hopes they would send The Order or Lego Batman PS4 (which is oddly Available Now and higher in my Q) and it backfired on me.  Looking for a report on if it is just awful or god awful.

Checking in from vacation. . Any of you guys ever have trouble getting PSN money through Amazon? I try to buy a code and it makes me re-enter my card info, then brings me to an error screen after i do. Not gonna let the fact that i won't be able to play any of the new releases today stop me from buying them.

They make you re-enter your card info since it would be easy to break into an account, buy a bunch of digital codes, and then there would be little way to track you. If you break in and buy physical goods they at least have a shipping address to track down. I haven't bought any PSN codes in awhile from amazon but I've never had a problem doing so.

I will play MP for a bit if there is a meet up but I dont know if I can start that early. Sometimes I can sometimes I cant. I just wont be playing MP randomly.

 
Gator, did you see where the Braves and Comcast just announced a big megadeal for the new stadium? The plan is for it to be the "most technologically advanced" ballpark. Comcast is also building a new office building beyond right field that will house 1,000 employees.

I had not heard about that yet. With the reputation Comcast has locally, I am a bit surprised they want them as a partner. Then again Liberty Media is also a cable provider in many countries and is used to doing deals with Comcast for content, so I guess it makes sense.

I'd go to a baseball game if it meant a home-run could hit that Comcast building (I know it's too far away, but still).

Still feels like it sometimes.

But I thought they opened one more recently. Like five years ago or something.

Still, 20 years seems like an awfully short time to be in a stadium, especially with how fancy they were making them starting in the mid-90s.

Yeah I think they just missed the golden age of stadium building. I bet they dont have near enough luxury boxes etc.

Basically, it was some old white people saying, "Hey, let's build a new park closer to more white people."

You guys have to remember it was originally built for the 96 Olympics, then turned into the ballpark for the 97 season.

Really? I thought it was just straight up for the Braves. I guess I forgot baseball was still in the Olympics in '96. But I also don't see how that would affect the building of the park. Do it for long term MLB and Olympics peeps will still be able to use it. If they did it they other way around, then their dummer than dum.

It was originally built for the track and field events and the closing ceremonies. They had to add a lot of stuff to turn it into a ballpark.

They covered a lot of this during the Turner Field tour, but I was distracted by the hot tour guide.

It wasn't so much built for Baseball, but for all the track and field events... after the olympics they modified and added seats and transformed it into the baseball stadium you see now.

EDIT:pitfall'd

I took a tour of it once and got to hear all the history and run in the outfield...

I toured it on a game day, so they wouldn't let us touch the grass. We got to sit in the dugout, though, so that was cool.

 
I trump all you guys. Me and my brother snuck into Camden Yards while it was under construction. Went inside the dugout, saw the locker rooms, went all over the place. The construction workers saw us, I think, but I don't think they cared.
