There is no Platinum for Sonic 2 on PSN.

Anyways, I decided to finally play Excitebots. That is a really weird but fun game.

I plan all of my purchases based on what IGN tells me to buy.

No problemo. :cool:

Yeah it is. The game is a lot of fun, and funny as well.

Garcia: "So I shoot the goat head to make light?"
Johnson: "Of course. Everyone knows that goats are a source of light in the underworld."
Garcia: "Right... Just let me know if I have to fuck a horse to open a door."

WHAT? But I've been playing it all the time! I guess only truly epic games like Sonic 2006 get platinum trophies, Sonic 2 has to settle for gold.

Yeah, the presentation and delivery also help make the game hilarious as well. They manage to make the game funny in a so-bad-it's-good/anti-joke kind of way a lot of the time.

It's true, he's been playing it religiously for the past few days trying to get every trophy. I just didn't have the heart to tell him there wasn't a platinum for it.

Sounded like a good joke to me

I didn't mean that joke in particular. I meant there are also plenty of intentionally bad jokes as well.

But Sonic 2006 doesn't have trophies :cry:

Please be good. Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.
 
Didn't do much gaming the last two days, but lots of DLing.

DL'd:

A bunch of stuff on the 3DS
played catch-up football with Rock Band tracks
DL'd League Bowling on the PSP

I'll get to them eventually.

All on a 1.5M connection!
 
Ugh, I feel like absolute shit today. I don't know what traspired between me going to bed and about thirty minutes ago, but fuck, I just can't stop puking.

I think that after I get done with my school shit for the day I'm going to finally start playing Dead Space 2. Can't believe that I got it like three months ago and just let it rot in my backlog.

Sorry about that, friend-o. ;)

And get to playing DS2, you monster.
 
I've got some free time on my hands today. I think I'm gonna try Infamous and play some more LA Noire.
Maybe I'll read some more game of thrones too. My physical copies of the books are supposed to arrive soon anyway, so I'll wait on that.
I may also actually start watching the wire! Woo for being fucking lazy with my days off!
 
I started working on copying all my PC files between external hard drives last night, still going to take another night just to copy that stuff, maybe I'll have the PS3 hard drive transfer done by the end of the week though.

[quote name='corrosivefrost']Hmmm, not loving all the bullshit they added to Horde Mode in Gears 3. :([/QUOTE]
I feel the same. I saw it this morning and was just disappointed. I don't like the buying stuff during the game thing, hopefully they implemented it in a way that it doesn't slow down the game too much. I do like the ideas of the boss wave and buying your life back, though.
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']Bought Raiden Fighters Aces for 14 bones the other day. Best $14 I spent in awhile.[/QUOTE]

Game is tight, good deal. Day I got my copy, I popped it in, 360 froze, reset, froze, RRoD. Never even saw the title screen. :cool:


I just woke up. Yep.

Start it already.

It takes sometime, but not much. Make sure when you are replacing your PS3 HDD to keep it off the carpet and be EXTRA careful when unscrewing the blue screw, it will strip very easily.
 
What the hell is going on? EA sent me two boxes today, both containing a copy of Bulletstorm with different order numbers. I only ordered one, and they've only charged me for one so far. Can't wait to try and sort this out (assuming that they do charge me, which seems likely given that they think two separate orders were placed).

Uraizen told me that when he did a full backup of all his PS3 files that took a long time, which was more what I'm concerned about, I don't think unscrewing a drive bay and switching out the drive will take that long, haha.

Give me the other one when they don't charge you for it :cool:

It was taking me about 4 hours or so to do the full backup, I think, with less than 100gb. Now, god only knows..
 
Never bother with the second game. Played the first one on a crappy PC, but other than that, it felt like a game you play later on just for the experience.

The data backup does take a good amount of time, but not no longer than a day.
 
I can't wait to play Fear 3, I just got a text from GameFly saying it was on the way. :D

I loved Fear 2, hopefully this one is just as fucked up.

Edit: Dude, I fuckin' hate people that can't get time zones right. I have a phone conference with some people and they told me they'd be calling at 12:30 central, well what they actually meant was they'd be calling at 1:30 Mountain, which is 2:30 central. I've been waiting by my goddamn phone for almost 2 hours now.

I played that game a ton the summer it came out. Lots of fun.

[quote name='whoknows']F3AR is fun. I'm surprised.

And by surprised I mean very surprised.[/QUOTE]

That's good to hear. I was hesitant about it due to the developer change, but I've been hearing pretty decent things about it. I really enjoyed FEAR 2, so I'll pick up 3 when it gets a bit cheaper.
 
The Vita is looking to ship around 1/4/2012 according to Amazon. If that's true, what a punch in the dick and nuts. It's supposed to be my Christmas gift! :lol:

Same here.

I'm disappointed by that, but at least that means it'll come during my vacation so I'll have a lot of hands on time with it.

[quote name='panzerfaust']I would ask for something I could be entertained with, instead of launch hardware.[/QUOTE]
It's my gift to myself, I'm sure I'll understand it's the thought that counts.
 
[quote name='panzerfaust']I would ask for something I could be entertained with, instead of launch hardware.[/QUOTE]

I'm a-ok with Super Stardust: Delta, Uncharted: Golden Abyss and the assorted PSP games I've never had the chance to play (particularly Crisis Core, UGnG, and I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten about since I don't currently track PSP games due to a lack of owning one). If anything other than that shows up at launch that interests me, I'll have even more to occupy me (BBCS2?).

I know it's not for everybody, but I'm sure I'll have a blast with it. ^_^
 
yeah, I'm pretty excited for Vita too. Playing Uncharted anywhere I want sold me for sure.

The only thing that pisses me off is the idea of rebuying my PSP library just to take advantage of the twin sticks.

Resistance, Syphon Filter...all good games that could be made so much better with the other analog control...

Argh.
