My Wii = Netflix box. I played the games I was interested in (Mariokart, NSMB, HoD:Overkill, etc) and since then, it sits in the bedroom since we don't have a cable box upstairs.

Same here, although I do have a few games for it in my backlog. I prefer to use the wii for netflix as I don't have to be disturbed by friends while watching movies. Plus I figure it prolongs the life of my 360 that way. In theory at least.

In other news, after using the Virgin Mobile Marbl for ~4 years, I got myself an Optimus V. The charger on my phone finally died after being on the fritz for close to a year and since it's not easy to find one offline, I said fuck it and decided to finally upgrade all this time. Hit to the wallet though, but should be worth it in the long run.
 
The doctor put me on a gluten-free diet a few weeks ago. Then yesterday they did biopsies to try and figure out what's going on with my organs being all fucked up. Not feeling so great today. The laproscopy itself wasn't bad, but when they do the biopsies, they just grab a chunk of tissue and rip it off. So yeah, it hurts and stuff.
 
Could anyone that lives near a Target do me a HUGE favor and check to see if it has Vanquish on clearance for $7.48? Either system would be good. If you find it I would love you forever. :)

Can't remember if you live near York or not, but did you check down there? I was down at the BB myself, but never saw where Target was.
 
I live close to Lebanon but the nearest Target to me is in Harrisburg which is like a 45 minute drive.

Skyrim looks incredible. That game is gonna eat up at least a month of my life.

[quote name='Temporaryscars']What's cool about the Vita? I only saw a pic of it.[/QUOTE]


Good graphics, decent price, nice line up of games announced (Uncharted!), cross platform play, cloud saves, trophies, dual analog sticks, consumes less power than my 360.
 
I guess by now if we haven't seen a new Half Life or Grand Theft Auto that one won't be shown, which sucks.

Vita looks fucking awesome, but I got to wait for a killer game to come out before I bite. I think Kojima will have something good for it next year.
 
Picked up Rock Band 3 since it's so cheap now. I just need to find the keyboard for cheap.

I went to get True Grit on Blu and was tempted to get a bunch of the older bond films since they were all on sell. Hopefully I will hit it big at the casino tomorrow in Cincinnati before the Reds game and I can splurge big time.

Also, why the fuck isn't On Her Majesty's Secret Service on Blu with the rest of the Bond films?
 
I didnt see the nintendo conference, but the Wii U looks like it will effectively turn your TV into a DS. It also looks like it's going to be really expensive with that tablet. As Rock said earlier, the battery life on it is going to be questionable until the specs come out.

Too bad the 3DS did not have Phoenix wright vs professor Layton released. Vita will my $250 probably on day one. I'll get a 3DS down the road when the next series of pokemon comes out.

Are you serious? What have you been eating? Almost every commercially produced food contains "modified food starch".

Is he working on the Vita port of MGS4?

MGM's deal with Sony should mean that more Bond movies come out soon. I need the rest of the Connery movies, The Living Daylights, and Goldeneye to come out to be satisfied.
 
[quote name='zewone']Is he working on the Vita port of MGS4?[/QUOTE]


I don't think so. I remember hearing that MGS4 was just a tech demo. Next year is the 25th anniversary of Metal Gear and Kojima supposedly has something big planned.

I think I'm going to bite on skyrim close to day one... it's looking a lot more fun than oblivion and I liked oblivion. :lol:
 
Been playing around with my new phone for a while now and I like it. Swype keyboard is neat, a lot easier than typing everything since there's no pullout keyboard.

Anybody have suggestions for good android apps though? Also, being virgin mobile, can I get custom backgrounds / ringtones, or can I only do that through the virgin mobile store?
 
I ignored Prey because I just assumed it was a budget title but I won't be doing that with Prey 2. That game is absolutely gorgeous. It looks like being inside the world of Blade Runner.

If you can plug your phone into your computer, via USB, you should -- in theory -- be able to put your own MP3s/ringtones/whatever on there.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']Mak, Red Faction will be 40.00 at Kmart next week.[/QUOTE]

That old game? Man, you can get that for like $5 now. We used to play that all the time!
 
Yes sir, Frosty

Picked up RF at BestBuy tonight. Figured I could bring in my receipt and PM it next week.

The one that came out today, Temp.

And I miss that multiplayer :( sooo much fun.
 
Holy shit, Nintendo has the most insane fanboys ever. I am a dumbass because I wonder if we'll be allowed to bring game saves (a lot won't transfer) to the Wii U, since it's backwards compatible.

What's the point of playing your old games, if you can't bring your save?

That guy is seriously a nut.

I think Nintendo confirmed SD card and USB device support in addition to external flash. Odds are, they'll let you pop out your Wii SD card with saves and copy them to internal memory if you desire.

Im not sure if anything has changed -- but for the longest time a lot of game saves couldn't even be transferred to an SD card. If that changes, or has changed, then it'll be no problem. This isn't even a "huge deal" but I could so see them doing this part half ass, and have people defend it.

It seemed like a lot of game saves that had nintendo WFC data, couldn't be moved. /shrug

When I was tinkering with Chika's wii, once upon a time, I had moved everything I could to the SD card. I can't tell you if it was everything, and the games we had played weren't extensive (SPM, MK, HotD).

Hmm very tempting but THQ games drop like rocks so I think I'll wait a little longer on that. Thanks for letting me know though.

[quote name='corrosivefrost']Good. Now make Infamous 2 $40 at Best Buy.[/QUOTE]


Yeah now this would be good. I don't think we'll see a price drop for a few months unfortunately.

[quote name='zewone']Awesome. Time to go stir the hive.[/QUOTE]


That person that took the bait is either criminally insane or is a kid and doesn't realize how real life works. He says in a previous post that he thinks Nintendo went casual this generation to lure Microsoft into going casual and now that Microsoft fell for it Nintendo is gonna switch to hardcore gamers. Billion dollar corporations with investors don't do anything to 'trick' other companies.
 
Morning, OTT.

I'll check when I make my weekly Target runs today.

If you see one of those copies of InFamous 2 for $30 in the clearance rack, do it up and I'll buy it for a fair price. :)

lollllllllllllllllllll[/QUOTE]

It's not too shocking. The system won't be out for at least a year. I doubt 3rd party devs have had a chance to do anything much with it yet. I suppose they announced it this early because they saw the writing on the wall - the Wii hemorrhaging fast. They didn't announce anything for the Wii at all other then Zelda.

[quote name='Rocko']The PSP 2 is $250? Consider my mind absolutely blown.[/QUOTE]

It's better then expected for sure, but it's still a lot for a gaming-dedicated handheld. I can't say I'm too interested in it or the 3DS, though I keep my fingers crossed that the 3DS will continue to flounder and soon see a big price cut. I was hoping that would be announced at E3, but I suppose that was silly. I'll need a big price cut on the Vita too before I can partake. So I guess I'll be waiting a while.

Will do.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Ohh yea I'd love to get in on that Infamous 2 thing as well if you can find it 83.[/QUOTE]

I asked first!! But I'd be willing to sell it to you when I finished it up. :p


[quote name='Rocko']I mean, the vita for 250 blows the 3rd out of the water. Must try not to regret purchase...[/QUOTE]

I never had a PSP and as a PS3 owner, this seems AWESOME.
I've not been this excited about anything in gaming in a long time.
