I think the issue had to do with how you quit the game--as long as you Quit to Main Menu before closing the game (i.e., don't save and then turn off your Vita), you wouldn't have any problems with earning trophies. I also did my fair share of suspending as well as formally quitting the game before turning off my Vita, and I didn't have any issues.

 
We went camping over the weekend at Knoebels and it was super cold Friday night. It would have been fine with proper sleeping bags, but we had crappy ones that you're probably only supposed to use in summer. Even having on a bunch of layers didn't help much. Saturday night was going to be below freezing, so we bailed Saturday night after riding rides. Great time time except for that Friday night trying to stay warm and failing. We need much better sleeping bags.

For me on GOW1 my trophies stopped poping. Happened to a guy I used to work with as well. Supposedly has to do with putting the vita to sleep. Decided I didn't care enough to replay all those chapters again. The guy I used to work with played the whole thing over again and got whatever trophies he earned on his second playthrough.

 
Finished Mission 20 in Metal Gear.
The Boss fight was fun but I feel like I was mislead from Millar. He makes it sound like you can just stun the fire dude and get away. I guess it's possible but every attempt to do that ended in a firey mess. The crazy part is when I completed the mission I just stood in the middle of the little pool. When he came over I lobbed a grenade at him which propelled him into the middle of it, mission over. Lol.

My base is also filled to the brim, gonna have to start dumping those lesser soldiers until I can build out more again. Although I might want to dump them anyway...lol. Finally starting to feel like there will be an end point to this game :) So good though.

You can get away from The Man On Fire: Place C4 on the base of one of the water towers, lure him there, detonate the C4 to stun him, then immediately call in the chopper. He'll shake off the stun as you're getting on the chopper, so you really have no time to spare.
As for dumping lesser soldiers, I love that the game automatically puts them in the Waiting Room as you get better guys for each team; it makes things waaaaaaay easier compared to Peace Walker.

However...you might not want to start dumping people just yet. Without spoiling anything, let's just say that after a few more story missions, you'll need all of the staff you can get, crappy or not.

Finished Back to the future on friday...  I liked the story, did the game justice for a "sequel".  However hated the ending, was pretty dumb.  They pretty much threw out every single time traveling rule they had put in place before that.

 
I forget who all was interested, but IGN posted a review for the new Fatal Frame game for Wii U:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/10/19/fatal-frame-maiden-of-the-black-water-review

tldr; 7.0:

GOOD

Chilling ghosts and a malevolent story make the new Fatal Frame an unsettling experience.

+Disturbing story

+GamePad as camera

+Malevolent atmosphere

-Clumsy controls

-Repetitive encounters

I've never actually played a FF game. I've always been interested but have trouble getting into horror stuff in general. If somebody in here plays it, post how you like it even if it's not PS*.

 
Also installed the 1TB HD this morning.  Was super easy process.  Now working on downloading my games, those should be done by the time I get home, then it's on to the retail games I have, and then finally the cloud saves.  Crazy how easy it was.

Oh and the inside of my PS4 was covered in dust, was nice to clean it as well.

Unless there's someone here importing the physical EU version (and owns a EU Wii U) or willing to pay $50 for the digital-only NA version, that's going to be a long wait.

Yeah I had a couple of runs where I stunned him and got on the copter but then he blew me up in the copter along with quiet. Bullshit!

I have one chapter left to do tonight. I agree story is decent enough, but I would have liked them to go to more than just one other time period that wasn't the present. I mean I guess for the characters used they had to stick to the year they did, I just wanted more variety.

It followed the movies, I mean the first one was all focused on the 50's, second was 2015, third was what the 20's? and then the game being in the 30's? Seemed like they couldn't do too much more.

Wait till the very end.. I got a slight laugh, but was also really? you had to end it like that?

 
I know the Wii got hacked for pirating a lot. Not sure if Wii U is the same way, but the lack of a real reason to play the games online (trophies and the way the games are geared toward either single-player or local co-op) makes me suspect that it will be if it isn't already. Their anti-consumer business practices kind of encourage that behavior.

 
Vig, this is from the latest chapter of Mob 100%:

Guy speaking is the current big enemy:

Did you ever read any of it?

Third movie was 1885, but yeah I see your point. At least in the second one they hit three different time periods (spoilers?).

I guess I expected with five episodes that they'd hit five different time periods. Maybe that was just unrealistic though. I figured they would at least hit up the future once (and maybe they do in Ep. 5).

Nope... but they do more references and make a short stop to before the third movie...

 
Watched that failed Colts 4th down "trick" play vs Patriots. LOL.

Can't find it on youtube, but here's a tweet with it in it:

It's always good to see the Colts fail in a most gloriously miserable fashion.

Didn't see it last night, but I probably watched the above clip at least 15 times this morning.

I heard someone honking in my driveway, so I went out. It was the mailman with my red DS4. I was surprised to get it today because when I checked tracking this morning, it had just been updated to "In transit to local PO. Allow 2-3 extra days for delivery." 

Now that it's finally here, I can put it on a shelf and rarely use it.

 
And I didn't think it could get any dumber than this over the weekend, but the Colts somehow pulled it off.

Illegal forward pass in the endzone resulted in a safety.

 
So after calling Best Buy phone support numerous times with what seemed like a simple issue to rectify and having no luck whatsoever, I posted on Twitter. Got a response almost immediately and got into an e-mail chain with someone that actually understood my issue! Got my rewards account straightened out and got $20 in certs. Couldn't be happier. 

Thread bitching helped too! :)

Just figured I'd post this in case anyone else has future issues. As Tyler and myself can tell you their phone support is awful.

I don't think I posted all the details back when I was having an issue, but I talked to 9 people over the phone and via chat. Then I posted on their FB wall and immediately got a request to email their Facebook email account (why the fuck couldn't they forward the info themselves?) and then it took another ten emails or so to get resolved. I should have jumped on Twitter right away.

And on the subject of performing arts, the wife is making me go with her to some Dracula ballet on Thursday. She paid $30 for me to take a nap in a theatre. So silly.

I haven't played any of the other campaigns but I really enjoyed Ghosts. Enough so that I platted it. Play it, IMO.

The Utes play may have worked had it been executed properly. It shouldnt be that hard to throw a pass backward.

The Colts play was just stupid all around since lining up differently wasnt going to cause the Pats to commit a penalty.

I levels where you're shooting bastards as you're floating in space were pretty bitchin. The rest was kinda meh.

They also were hoping the Pats would call time-out to waste one. Or if the Pats all hovered by the group of peeps, the dude would have enough room to get three yards. But yeah. Dumbass was a dumbass for even hiking the ball when he saw five guys lined up over him.
