Bouttime Olsen!!! Two times he had a yard to go for a td.

I could be winning a lot more if he had three tds instead of one.

Had some family reunion thing to go to for the wife's grandmother, so I'm just now checking FF. Steve Smith went crazy again. I had him on the bench due to the broken back, but still. Glad I didn't drop him after the injury report last time--I figured he was toast for a while but apparently not.

 
Any of you anime types watched this one called Death Note? Our kids have been watching it and we've seen some of it (my wife more than me). Kind of cool.

I have him and Martavis Bryant on my bench in a yahoo league, which is good because 2 guys I started, Keenan Allen and Jeremy Maclin went down with injuries today and I'm still going to win by around 30. Someone traded Bryant to me 2 weeks ago for CJ Anderson. I was giddy when that trade offer popped up.

 
I'm headed for 4-2 somehow, despite no help from my #1 CJ Anderson and only one week of my #2 Dez Bryant. I did get Martavis Bryant back this week and he put up a decent score once Vick went out.

 
Ultra Despair Girls was surprisingly fun all the way through and it makes me even more excited for Danganronpa 3 (plus I now want to replay the first one). I just have a bit of cleanup to do for the plat.

 
I'm getting more and more excited for this (spoilered because huge):

A new trailer is supposed to air during tomorrow's Giants game (ESPN's Monday Night Football).

Yeah, it's pretty good, though I think the original manga (Japanese comic) is better.

I read the manga. I liked the concept but it completely ignored the morality question after the initial premise was established and ended up being a bunch of crappy mind games that weren't interesting at all.

 
Undead Nightmare: Was it messed up of me that after the cutscene with the
crying sasquatch, I pulled out my torch and set his ass on fire?

It felt a little wrong, but I couldn't stop myself.

 
Just finished AC3: Tyranny of King Washington. It is the same principle as Infamous: Festival of Blood or RDR: Undead Nightmare, a what if tale. Unfortunately what took me out of the story almost immediately is rather than starting from the end point of the game and then diverging from history, it completely rewrote the main character's story, as if he didn't participate in any of the events of the main game. The main game was filled with more nuance for its villains, but in the DLC old Georgie is just a mustache twirler.

One neat addition is the inclusion of spirit powers. Wolf which lets you cloak (which constantly eats at your HP) and sneak past enemies and stealth kill them. You can also summon a pack of 3 spirit wolves to quickly kill 3 nearby enemies. The 2nd power is eagle flight which lets you zip around from perch to perch and makes traversing long distances much quicker. You can also lock onto any enemy that is between 10-30 feet away and swoop at them to auto-assassinate them. The 3rd power is bear, you jump into the air and smash your fists into the ground which causes a shockwaves which destroys any breakables and causes any enemy in its radius to take damage (usually enough to kill them) and fly backward.

The spirit powers are pretty much the high point, because your character remains in Native American attire for the entire game he sticks out like a sore thumb so you are having to constantly try to avoid the gaze of the guards in the cities lest you have spend a ton of time killing guards until you are free to move again. Never being able to walk around without getting hassled started to become annoying by the 3rd episode.

AC3 vanilla is usually $10 on sale and the UE is typically $15. I don't think Tyranny of King Washington is worth that $5 premium.

Anyone have any personal experience with that Lunar PSP game? Reviews make it sound like the constant need to load when you do nearly anything (enter buildings, load menus, etc.) spoils the experience.

If anything, the digital version should have better load times.

 
One PIece Unlimited World Red is pretty dull. Super repetitive, bizarre combat mechanics (you can't hit an enemy when they're down, so you have to stand and wait a second for them to stand back up), and a whole lot of grinding for items in order to upgrade the town.

 I could finish it, but I'm not enjoying it.

Just remembered I need to go check out my purchases on the flash sale. I'm sure I won't  remember come morning.

I agree that it gets repetitive pretty quickly, but I think I enjoyed it more because I already loved the One Piece property.

I've played the PS1 version (still have the CE with hardcover artbook) so I can't speak on the PSP load times. I have heard that its a bit more streamlined and dumbed down in this version with the removal of the overworld map travel among other things. I would still grab it at that price if you like RPGs. Its nothing revolutionary and is filled with tropes but its worth a play through in my book.

I've got it downloading now so I can check. Should at least be able to fire up the intro and see if there are any obvious load issues.

 
There's a very fast load screen to load/start a new game. No delay in entering or exiting battle. Combat menu system remembers your last command (always nice for multi-round battles.) The dialogue is absolutely delightful in the intro (I didn't make it further yet.)  Magic attacks/skills are quick so combat doesn't feel slow. It goes in and out of the FMVs without a load pause. Bringing up the character menu is instant. There's a black fade in/fade out that does take about 4-5 seconds when entering/exiting buildings but I'm not sure how often that gets triggered yet; it doesn't seem immediately annoying, but that could change. Doubt it's near as bad as FFX.

The intro was rather easy since you have an auto raise in effect. From reading about the Harmony version it's supposed to be quite easy, so that's not a surprise. The PS1 version wasn't hardcore or anything but I do remember some of the boss battles, including the end one, being a big deal.  The story and characters in everything in the PS1 version were a lot of fun, though. I'm not seeing anything obvious in Harmony to make it not worth the $6.

From what I remember playing of the PSP version, I think its translation/script isn't as strong as Working Designs' for the PS1 version. Then again, I might be giving that version too much credit (it has been years since I played it).

 
All this time I was debating whether I wanted to get SR4 for $8 and I just now realize that it's only the standalone expansion (Gat out of Hell) that's on sale. I thought it was the whole re-elected game with the expansion. Easy pass. I picked up Badland and played for a bit. Fun enough, but I probably should have passed for $5 (I'm sure it will get cheaper soon). Also got Rapture, but I expect I'll need to finish that one before being able to give an opinion. Good graphics, I suppose.

Velo, somebody actually overtook your Heroes of Loot high score. I think I made it to top 5 myself.

This guy got 250,000 or so.

Time for you to get back to work!

I deleted it while I was first, so in my mind, I will always be first ;)

also, this new girl is kinda crazy and quit her job and has been coming over daily for camming. I found out it is possible to get bored of 2 chix.

She wants me to buy omibods for both girls so they can just sit there and print money. idk

 
God of War Vita update. 

Beat the game yesterday and the Challenge of the Gods this morning.  I played through 9 of 10 challenges yesterday with relative ease.  I got stuck on the 10th challenge as the fuck ing Satyrs kept knocking me off the platform.  I was using the known strategy of L1 and X but it didnt matter.  Those fuckers kept hitting me. I blame the Vita.  Anyway I finally got past it this morning so all I have to do is the speed run which is cake with the dairy bastard skin. 

No real issues other than the nub control on the beams/spinning blades. 

8th God of War plat here I come!

noob

In GoW1 you get costume unlocks for beating the challenge of the gods. I think its the same for some of the others as well. I dont remember but will find out again when I move on to GoW2 Vita.

I thought you couldn't use the costumes for the speed run?  Or maybe that was for something in GoW 2?  Or maybe I'm thinking of something else?  Or maybe I should go back to bed?

You definitely can for GoW1. I dont think you need to use them if there are any in GoW2. There may be a restriction for something in GoW3.

 
Mild, I saw another commercial yesterday for Ass Creed Syndicate.

HHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't there some glitch or something where you couldn't put the system in suspend? I guess you didn't at all?
