CAG/PS3 Red Faction: Guerrilla Night [Thursdays @ 10pm EST]

[quote name='StrandedBrit']We should all play Bomberman[/QUOTE]

heh. Unfortunately it seems Ive lost my friend list and trophies. sony freakin blows. their whole system is pathetic compared to xbl (which just popped up a window and told me to change my name, didnt lose anything). on the phone now but they dont know crap

update: ya im screwed. no more trophies, oh well i dont care THAT much about em but i feel kinda shafted for being "punished" just because some douchebag thought my name was offensive. keep an eye out for new friend invites.
i got my call elevated up to the 3rd level of supervisors, whoever they are. so even though i got bent over, maybe itll help someone in the future if they fix their garbage system

update2: i sent a few friend invites out...but im thinking ill just create a new account (since i lost trophies anyway) and slip it past their censors again

Was it because someone reported the name?

You should be AllatBomber (if you don't care about the gender of the god you're bombing for)... or... if possible (I doubt it, I didn't look to see if you can use them when creating an account but "/"s are allowed to be used in the "To" form for creating a message (accented character's aren't, so Allāh is out)), A//ahBomber...
 
[quote name='Dasflikko']Curious. I'm a baker by trade and it is also a hobby.

Do you just increase the leavening agents in your muffins to compensate the lack of eggs? Do you use some sort of vegan egg substitute in your products? What about fats, do you just use 100% veg shortening? Mind passing some recipes on to me?

Jeez, this thread truly is multifunctional isn't it. :bouncy:[/QUOTE]

Isa Chandra Moskowitz from The Post-Punk Kitchen has 3 vegan cookbooks that I'm a big fan of: Vegan With a Vengeance, Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. Mostly it boils down to using primarily organic/unprocessed ingredients, nonhydrogenated vegetable oils/shortenings, vegan or raw sugar, and soy/rice/almond milk in place of cow's milk.

For fats, I like to use Earth Balance's vegan nonhydrogenated margarine. It's got an awesome buttery taste and it doesn't have any creepy ingredients. For leavening, Ener-G does make a vegan egg replacement but I think tastes like chalk (plus, it's a little too processed for me). I usually sub in ground flaxseed, silken tofu, or even soy yogurt to replace the eggs. Bananas are good egg replacements in the right recipe, too. Check this page out for some good egg-free baking tips.

This is the cookie recipe I made tonight.
This is the coffee cake recipe I made tonight.
This is the muffin recipe I made tonight.
This is the frosting I made for the muffins.
 
[quote name='mguiddy']Was it because someone reported the name?[/QUOTE]

Yes. but the only way i know of to report someone is to dig around the support section of the website. so this douche musta really been a whiny bastard with a cause.

My trophies are still stored locally so if those sync to my account then ill be happy. if not, then ill probably create a new account similar to my XBL account..note the capital I's. I would have done that in the first place but I had to speak the name to the phone rep, so couldnt have gotten away with it.
I kinda like the sound of BuddhaBomber, but Stranded may not appreciate that XD

Earth Balance is really good. Didn't even realize it was vegan until now.
 
[quote name='metaly']Randy, here's the loadout I was suggesting:

Primary: MP5K akimbo
Secondary: .44 Magnum akimbo
Perks: Marathon, Stopping Power, Steady Aim

Then sprint around everywhere shooting like a maniac![/QUOTE]

Done. It's pretty cool like this! How much do I have to play to be able to use these settings online?

Does MW2 have bots? I could have fun with this if there was actually someone to shoot at.
 
Allah, I'm not sure if I understand why you're so upset. You deliberately chose a username that you knew could be potentially offensive to a certain subset of the gaming populace. What did you think the outcome was going to be?

You should setup "ChristBomber" as your new PSN name so we can see how quickly someone from a non-marginalized religion shuts you down.

I totally second this. It'll also be a lot funnier when we complain about that sniping ability of yours. "Damn Christ, it's like he's some sort of god of sniping or something..."

i expected their system to be such as M$ as allow me to change it without losing all my info and not punishing me for their own fault of not censoring it. but like i said. dont care THAT much. if i dont get trophies back, expect new friend invites with a rehashed allah name

Interesting!

Thanks for sharing, I am definitely going to research some of those alternative ingredients just to experiment with over the next few months and see what I can come up with.

The MP5K you get as soon as you unlock custom classes at level 4. Then you need to get 10 kills with it to unlock rapid fire, then 30 kills with rapid fire equipped to unlock akimbo. The Magnum you get at level 26 and it takes forever to unlock akimbo for pistols, but I figure that's less important since it's your secondary. I believe you get all of the perks at level 4.

I wish there were bots but once you mute everyone online it's sort of the same experience. Except some of the bots are really, really good, and sometimes they are douchey.

Wtf guys, I waited for 20 minutes and no one showed up tonight.....

Edit: I guess I'll get into the spirit of the season as well.

Hope you're all having a great Christmas, and remember kids, smoking is cool. :cool:

Were you not around monday when we said this Thursday was canceled? After all the playing over the weekend and the general holidayness of today, people needed a longer break than usual.

I don't know if people were planning on playing Monday, but I'll be around I'm sure, so send me an invite if y'all are playing.
 
It's okay flik... You don't need to pretend... No one will think less of you because your mind isn't what it used to be.

How is Conduit online? Anyone know?
 
Is the Conduit MP more fun than MW2? I have to admit I do like that there seem to be lots of bright colors and laser guns, two things games this generation are sorely lacking.

Also do you prefer the wiimote controls to dual analogs?
 
[quote name='bornrunnin31']He should buy Excitebots then![/QUOTE]
I was thinking that. Excitebots is $13 (or something like that) at gamefly now with... free shipping? We should play Excitebike sometime too.
 
[quote name='mguiddy']Are you just trying to get some use out of your Wii?[/QUOTE]

Mostly, yeah. I liked the single player campaign in the game, too, and I was thinking it'd be fun to play with others.

No, I definitely prefer a traditional controller to the Wii's. I've played more of The Conduit that I have of MW2 at this point and yeah, I'm partial to it. I'm sure the depth of MW2's total experience far exceeds The Conduit's, though.

[quote name='bornrunnin31']He should buy Excitebots then![/QUOTE]

Metaly had recommended that in the past. Maybe I'll grab it. It's really just a racing game, isn't it? Does it have online multiplayer?

[quote name='mguiddy']I was thinking that. Excitebots is $13 (or something like that) at gamefly now with... free shipping? We should play Excitebike sometime too.[/QUOTE]

Definitely. I have it, just need some folks to play it with.
 
[quote name='Dasflikko']Yes, we should play many wii games sometime (hopefully this hypothetical sometime is never)[/QUOTE]
Shouldn't you be waiting for people to show up for some game or something?

[quote name='bmachine']

[/QUOTE]
Yeah, from what I've seen, it's basically a racing game with a trick scoring system.
It has 6 player online play.


[quote name='bornrunnin31']You mean, we . . . we can exchange friend codes!?!?! I feel so special.[/QUOTE]
How does that work? Do we each have to add each other, or can one person just add someone else and the other person accept that way...
Either way, I'll add some people next time I turn on my Wii and re add mine to my profile... I had it but it got removed when CAG upgraded a year and a half (or longer) ago and I don't think I played my Wii since (until a few weeks ago that is).
 
I'd be up for some MW2 or something. Anyone get anything fun for Christmas?

Also Excitebots! Let's make it happen. The Excitebots thread is filled with people who claim they want to race but disappear when race night draws near... we can do better than that.
 
Excitebots is sold out at Gamefly, unfortunately. Any other places have it on clearance?

I could do MW2 tonight. Around 9:30 EST or so?
 
[quote name='metaly']Anyone get anything fun for Christmas?[/QUOTE]

Do you mean videogames? My brother got DJ Hero for me. Haven't hooked it up yet, though.

The only other game-related gift I received was the BT chatpad for the PS3 from my parents.
 
[quote name='bmachine']Do you mean videogames?[/QUOTE]

Yeah. Sorry, I had a lapse back to the days when someone would get a cool new game for Christmas and we'd all go over to their house to play it. R.I.P. splitscreen multiplayer.

I'll be on at 9:30 for MW2 definitely.
 
[quote name='mguiddy']Shouldn't you be waiting for people to show up for some game or something?
[/QUOTE]

Hey what can I say, as much as I'd love to actually get some use out of my wii, I've had nothing but miserable experiences with it. I just got tired of the whole never getting enough people to coordinate the silly friend code nonsense to actually get consistent games going! :cool:
 
[quote name='kube00']yea i could do mw2 later...[/QUOTE]
ya was fun. were gonna beat that freakin mission at some point...let me know when you wanna play again
 
Good games tonight, guys. It's a lot of fun having a squad that actually communicates. I think we held our own pretty well against the unwashed MW2 masses.

Too bad we don't really have a big enough group to do private team games. I do love me some 4-5 person hardcore deathmatch, but I don't know if everyone would be up to it. I think the game really excels when you play things slowly.
 
ya i had fun. itll be a while until i stop whining about my rank. totally disheartening to have to earn everything again :\ and when i get frustrated i start playing worse and worse :p
 
[quote name='metaly']I think the game really excels when you play things slowly.[/QUOTE]

I think that's my frustration with it. I want to play it like UT3 and it's really more like SOCOM.

[quote name='Dasflikko']Have your friend codes at the ready! It's game night! See you there and please don't make me wait 3 hours. :grouphug:[/QUOTE]

I'll be there! Here's my friend code:
3.141 5926 5358 9793 2384 6264 3383 2795 0288
