Speaking of beer, you guys drink maybe one beer a day during the week to kinda unwind after work? I've started doing this recently and I wonder if I should slow it down. I've heard it's good for you and that it's bad for you but no real proof that I've found.

To deal with the stress of worrying about that, I suggest drinking a beer.

My ex father in law gave my daughter his old Iphone 5 and is paying for her own line. She just discovered texting and emojis. She sent me a text of about 10 heart emojis today when she got home from school. Hate that she has a phone at 7 years old but love those texts.

It's really just a way for your ex wife to keep tabs on you.

Yeah something like that. For some reason she got it in her head that I would let our daughter talk to her on my phone. Or that I wouldnt answer the phone when she calls. Meanwhile the kid never answers her cell phone and the ex winds up calling my phone anyway. Hilarity ensues.

Ex wife probably has find my iPhone turned on and knows exactly where you go with your daughter. Hard to say you didn't take her for ice cream or something when she knows you were sitting at Dairy Queen for 30 mins.

You need to throw that iPhone in the toilet.

I dont need to. I tell her where I go with our daughter. It isnt like I am taking her to the strip club!

 
Speaking of ex's and phones, my ex's phone is broken and apparently has been since sometime Friday, but didn't tell anyone until yesterday. She showed up to my Mom's to pick my son up yesterday and didn't even know he was with me, even though she said I could have him every weekend. God forbid he'd had an emergency or something, she'd have been nowhere to be found.

I was thinking more along the lines of meeting your stripper girlfriend not taking her to the actual club. But thought it would come across super creepy so I switched to the Dairy Queen example.

Tiny Troopers is dumb fun. I think I'm getting way to attached to some of my troopers though, they've lived through like 5-6 missions, and now I'm afraid to start a new chapter as they'll probably die. I like the stat boost they get for not dying lol.
Click to expand...
That's the way Legends of War is too, the units have names and gain experience from kills (better stats) and if they die they are removed from your army permanently. I lost one guy in the whole campaign, a Commando (costs 20,000 to train) nicknamed Joker who was killed by a Sniper who moved in from just outside my army's field of vision.

Anyone ever play dante inferno?

Got that game apparenly, gonna download it when asecnsion finishes sometime later this week.

Pharm, im off tomorrow too! Aint that fun.

No, it's in my backlog too, its like a slightly shakier God of War based on the Dante's Divine Comedy with no chapter selection so collectables are missable.

 
Even He-Man is sad today

So I have 2 ps3 activated on my account with sony, when I select to download games on the site to it, doesnt seem to work, think the one im not using is primary, any good way to fix that?
Click to expand...
The ps3 only checks for things to download when it logs in to PSN, so if you push something to your PS3 while it is already on you will have to log out and log back in in order to start the auto-download. If the account you are pushing from on the website is a sub-account on your system then you need to flip over to that profile on the PS3 and log into PSN in order for it to check for files to download. I believe that's how it goes at least.

The first bit cleared it up for me, system was already on.

Decided to move it to the other room with the router, plugged it in, immediately started dling a lot faster. My ps3 is a first gen fattie, I think the wifi chip in those was terrible or something.

Yes, I have a fattie from 2008 and and a regular slim and the slim's WIFI is quite a bit speedier.

Did you actually see it or did she just say its broken? If she's missing car payments she's probably missing cell phone payments too and her service was cut off. That's what fast foods places always tell their worker's to say when they've run out of a certain soda concentrate, that that particular fountain is "broken."

I called it when I noticed my text about her car didn't go through to see. It's still in service, just off. Text message still doesn't say delivered so apparently she never hooked up the loaner phone my Mom gave her yesterday.

Lost Dimension has been quite a bit cheaper on PS3. I got it when GF had it for $15. Twice the price for the Vita version seems a bit much.

There are also extra second or 2 of loading pauses between when you click an attack on the menu and the attack beginning apparently. There's only a half a second of loading on only a few of the attacks in the PS3 version.

People who order from Target:

I ordered some stuff from target for my daughter and it says it was shipped in two packages, but it has the same tracking #. Has anyone had this before? I don't really order from the Target website, so I'm not sure if this is normal for them? Even though it's the same tracking#, Target has different delivery days for both packages.

I'd call them and find out. Doesn't sound normal to me. 800-591-3869

Interesting article by one of the devs of Toto Temple Deluxe and why it failed. I think you'll like his #1 conclusion.

Great article, thanks for sharing.

I feel like they did a really good job with the marketing so it sucks that the game sold so poorly.

I think there are a lot of nerdy guys out there like me who will give pretty much any indie game a chance at the right price (there's a few even in this thread). But even being 60% off on PS4 during the holiday sale, I skipped over it instantly because of the local multiplayer only component.

Here's the thing about local multiplayer. I have a few friends IRL who do like to game, but when they come over I would NEVER suggest playing a game like Toto Temple Deluxe. They're not interested in that. They'll want to play a few matches of FIFA or a few games in Madden or NHL, or do some local MP shooting in games like Call of Duty or Borderlands. So not only do you have to have local friends to play games with, but those friends also have to like corny little indies. So the target audience is just so tiny.

Pharm is exactly right. It's not as good as any of the GoWs, but it's still a fun and mindless game with a cool setting. And lots of boobs!

The XBL thread seems to have gone off the rails lately as well, maybe there will be an XBLOT thread coming here next...

That thread used to be my hangout spot, it was really cool. Tons of the regulars slowly disappeared (including myself a bit after my ban) and now I don't recognize anyone in there. So I assume they're all terrible now.

Mpaullin and a couple others in here did hang out a bit in that thread back in the day.

EDIT: Just went over there. It's terrible.

Glad you posted, I missed the link the first time around.

Really interesting write up on their sales and what they were going to take out of the experience. Toto Temple Deluxe definitely looks like a game I'd be interested in trying, but I'm in the same boat as most, no where near enough local friends who'd be interested in playing with me. I live with two other 'gamers' and I still couldn't reliably say that either of them would be interested in playing this with me more than once. From what I can tell it looks like they did most everything 'right' but were just aiming for too niche an audience a couple years too late. Shame it didn't work out for them.

Dev who did the writeup is way cooler than the N++ guy lol

 
After spending some of yesterday and today sorting through my backlog I think I finally got a decent rundown of what I actually still want to play on PS3.

  • Bioshock Infinite
  • Binary Domain
  • Castle of Illusion
  • Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen
  • Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon
  • Game of Thrones
  • Kung Fu Rabbit
  • Magus
  • Sanctum 2
  • Sly Cooper Thieves in Time
  • Spec Ops The Line
Odds of this actually happening are slim but it's a good starting point!

 
Some people at the Vikings game thought Walsh hit the field goal from their vantage point and then reality quickly set in.

That guy is actually pretty composed. Maybe he's just in shock. But just as a guy who doesn't like the Seahawks, I took the miss worse than him.
