for some reason this popped in to my head this morning, so let me vomit my random thoughts all over this thread.

let's get this day started right!

Sounds like a plan to me. I fucking despise people who don't use turn signals, its a serious pet peeve of mine. I live in a cul-de-sac which is across from the exit of a school, intersecting a fairly busy road. At least twice a week when I am trying to leave to turn left or right, inevitably some jackass will be waiting to exit the school and won't have their turn signal on. I fucking know they're not going straight because as I said before, its a cul-de-sac straight ahead, and I want to know as I attempt to dart out when it is clear on the cross street if we are turning in the same direction so that I know if I have to wait or if they have to wait so that we don't hit each other. Using your turn signals is a benefit to you so other drivers know your intentions and can act accordingly, I don't want to have to try and read your mind. Otherwise you have that annoying game of reverse chicken where neither driver wants to go first for fear the other one is going to pull out at the same time and hit them so you both just sit there and miss the window to enter the cross street.

finally got the godforsaken infamous plat this morning (found a side mission that had 4 conduits next to each other and farmed it for about 10 minutes to get the last 2000 xp I needed). definitely need a healthy break before the next one. still liked it, but the whole playing it again thing kinda soured it for me at the end.

The greatest thing about Infamous 2 is there is a user created mission that auto-collects the blast shards for you.

Or the cops that write tickets for not using blinkers, but don't use them themselves. Same thing with rolling through stop signs.

But seriously, if you refuse to use a blinker, you don't need a license to drive.

I've actually been gaming a ton lately between lunching on my Vita, playing the Vita while watching TV, and playing on PS3 whenever the wife will leave me alone. I'm at a 29-day streak now, which is super unusual for me.

I still play different games at different times and that lengthens the time of play for each individual game, though. Not sure how you guys stay so focused on one at a time and knock them out one after the other. I burn out quickly if I'm not careful.

I tend to focus on one game because I think it maximizes my gaming time. Only worrying about 1 set of controls allows me to typically get better at a game and speeds up the time it would take to finish. This also helps that if I am really into a game, I just want to play it anyway. If I am not a big fan of a game, I want to hurry up and get it done. Win-win

PSNProfiles question: do you have to manually update it? I was expecting that mine would automatically update over night, but it was exactly the same this morning. I went to the website and chose "Update Profile" and then it updated.
Click to expand...
I see others have already responded, but it seems to matter where you are on the boards in terms of updates. It seemed like it used to be every couple of days and now it seems like it is usually right around midnight eastern when it auto updates. Sometimes it seems to randomly skip days on occasion though. Unless you pay for premium membership, you can only update once an hour.

 
I just wait until it updates automatically, it's not worth the effort to login and manually refresh it to get it on the trophy card immediately, it's not like I think any of you are waiting with bated breath to see I got 2 new bronze trophies.

 
Do you guys that have a PS4 shut it down or leave it in standby? I usually turn it off but now I realize I'm not getting the automatic trophy syncing etc. I always left the PS3 in standby because it just does it normally when you shut it off.

You don't have to actually log in to update it. On the main page anyone can update anyone else's just by putting in their PSN ID. Of course, that will start the one hour timer for that user.

I always think you guys want to see bronze trophies, especially story-progression ones.

 
seriously I will burn comcast to the ground...  had to sit on the phone for 2 hours because our first bill was $23 more than I was told it was going to be, after showing proof of it and them saying they were changing it, they called and said they knocked 10 off the bill...  fuck  fuck  fuck  fuck  fuck

I usually focus on one game at a time too for the same reasons. I am playing mutiple now only because they are all simple control wise or dont have much of a story other than Killzone.

I have OCD with the psnprofiles. Since it only takes a second to do I go in every day and manually update my card.

EDIT: as Gator said you dont need to login. So it literally takes a second to do.

You don't have to actually log in. Just type in your user name on the home page and click update. You can update anyone's card that way.

Edit: Missed Gator's post.

So all of you have never even once failed to use the turn signal? Forgot? Distracted by something?
Click to expand...
Thats why I mention the idiots that turn their signals on after they start to turn. they had to think about it and complete the action of turning it on when they are already turning. They clearly dont know the purpose of said blinker.

Standby unless I know I'm not going to play it for days. Everything I've read is that Sony build the console to be in standby mode all the time.

 
There's things that irk me a lot more than blinkers.  Like people pulling out in front of me and not getting up to speed by the time I get to their car and people jumping across multiple lanes of traffic at the last second to make a turn or get off the freeway just because they weren't paying attention.

Also people who slow down to 2 miles per hour to make a right turn, especially off a busy street.  

 
So a bunch of stupid people on my Facebook feed are and then someone posted an article with this pic and I was sure the terrorist was about to pour water on the other dude's head.

Wow, no wonder we're all together in this thread--we hate the same driving things.

...Then again, who wouldn't hate that stuff?

 
As someone who has a job involving a lot of driving, you guys are absolutely correct. fuck shitty drivers.

Also, fuck the random bullshit thunder and lightning that woke my ass up.

 
We all make mistakes from time to time when driving, but some things convince you that those people are mentally challenged.  Like when they pull out in front of you (and no one is behind you so they could have waited two extra seconds) and proceed to drive 5 miles an hour.  Yeah, you could have waited you fuck tard.

Also love those idiots that speed away from a stop or red light burning rubber.  Only to top out 30 MPH or some number well below the speed limit. 

And the fuck ers that speed up because they see you passing them, only to slow down again.  If you want to drive slow, go ahead, but dont get pissy when someone wants to pass you.  fuck tard.

PSN Plus 1 year cards for $40 on ebay via Newegg if anyone is in need.

I can not believe I never noticed that before. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, there's some opportunity for great dickery there.

"Hey, guys, I just completed a ton of trophies! Let me sync with PSN so you can see!"

"Goddammit, who updated my profile before I could sync? fuck you guys!"

finished watch dogs last night, and fell asleep through the credits. one more physical game in my ps4 backlog to go(that i can trade in). 

i absolutely always use my blinker everywhere. working on the parking lot at walmart, it's is so effin annoying when people don't use their blinkers. i'm not psychic, i have no idea if you're turning in front of me, or going straight down the lane.

Or the people who drive 5-8 miles under the speed limit, causing you to miss the light, and they go ahead and drive through the light on pink / red.

I mainly knew due to the trophy competitions. Near a weekly update people would be trying to get the last few trophies in and a competitor would update it within an hour of the counts being done to see where they stood against you. It was a bit frustrating.

I'll admit that I checked competitors scores myself, but I used PSN Trophy Leaders to check since they have unlimited updates.

I remember this idiot I'm friends with on FB posted a video of some chick being beheaded. I watched it thinking it was some type of joke, but it wasn't. I still can't get that image out of my head. It took FB forever to take it down after I reported it.

 
I'm going to update everyone's profiles every hour just so you assholes never have the satisfaction of doing it yourselves.

Maybe I am not very sensitive to all the innocent people there, but I really wish we could just drop a thousand Hiroshima bombs on the middle east. And take all the oil after the fallout subsides. Lets just be real here.

 
On Facebook, I have a bunch of friends who think they're artsy and post naked pictures of themselves for some reason. A lot of super gross chicks with giant hairy beavers and they didn't shave their pits because they're going for the forts wild woman look. fuck that, I report every single one of them. I have yet to see any hot chicks post naked pictures of themselves.

And then when these people get reported they put up long ass posts about art being censored and why can dudes walk around bare cited but woman have to cover up and blah blah blah. And I'm like ok if I posted a picture of me with no shirt on, you'd probably report it so stfu. Get your hairy beaver off my Facebook news feed.
 
Oh and I also hate on Facebook when I'm trying to look at pictures of a hot chick and 90% of their pictures are of their asshole kids. Get out of here with that shit, no one wants to see kids.
