I played the Daily Challenge on PS4 last night and I saw some graphical glitches. Sometimes spelunky guy was invisible until I moved slightly. I then played a few rounds of regular play and didn't see it again. Did anyone else run into that? Also, I did awful, but it was worth it, seeing Tyler's ghost… killed by a skeleton. I watched Tyler's replay afterward (I hope you can't watch DC replays until after you've played it, but I didn't think to check that ahead of time) and it was kind of hilarious - I could imagine where he probably was ranting at the game. I guess I should have watched that stream….

Also, I was playing with the controller that has a sticky right bumper. I should really mark this one somehow so I don't accidentally use it. I'd sometimes end up running when I didn't mean to.

I only played for a few minutes last night. And yes, I was bitching like crazy. I got shot by an arrow that came out of nowhere, it was bullshit.

I didn't really remember what I was doing, I didn't really have a goal for the game. Looking over my trophies, looks like I may want to try and beat the game regularly, which is basically the only thing I have the ability to do. I may go back and try and figure out what to do. I still need to read up about strategies to beat the game. I'm always to lazy to do that (because I don't care that much about the game) so when I turn it on I just wander aimlessly which is really stupid and a waste of time for me.

Also, map sprint to R2, works way better than R1.

No baseball until Friday sucks. I think this Orioles vs. KC series is going to be close. KC's speed is going to give the Orioles a challenge. I have tickets for game 7, so I both want it to go 7 games and want the Orioles to sweep in 4. Conflicted.

Ugh, the Giants won. And apparently the Cardinals closed out the Dodgers too. Could there be two more boring, blah teams in the NLCS. What sucks is one of the HAVE to move on to the World Series now.

Go AL!

 
I'm use to using the bumper and am not sure why R2 would better since it's analog. Well, it would certainly be better in the case of that one controller with the terrible right bumper that sticks. I need to trade it in and buy a white or blue one, with the hope the bumpers are actually better.

I had the same issue with the Red Sox last year. I had tickets to ALCS game 7 but obviously didn't want it to be that close.
 
Driveclub PS+ version has been delayed since their servers can't even handle the 15 people who actually bought the full version of the game.  They don't want the PS+ freebie leaches using up their precious server space at this point.

https://www.facebook.com/driveclubofficial/posts/707176122700084

Driveclub PS+ has been an unmitigated disaster from start to finish.  I don't give a shit about racing games, I don't like complainers, and I do like Sony.  But I think people have every right to complain about what a disaster the Driveclub PS+ promise is.

 
I agree about Driveclub.  The worst part to me is that they delayed the game a fuck ing year (pretty sure it was supposed to be a PS4 launch title) and still have these issues.

Oh and on top of that I am reading that the game has very little customization and doesnt even have all the car brands yet because they want to put out DLC.  So what the hell were they doing all this time?  Sucking at making a game I think.

I'm not great at it, but like Pac-Man, you do want to hit the direction you want to go early. I don't see any delay, it's just fast paced. You can press in the direction you want to turn before you get there and you'll make the turn when you get to the corner. What I mean is you don't even have to hold it down. Press and release, then when you get to the corner you'll turn.

Good point. It's been a long time since I played Pac-Man, so I forgot that Pix does the same thing.

I forgot to add that the Vita version's loading times, while not atrocious (e.g., Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time), are noticeably long and can be annoying.

 
I didn't want the Dodgers to advance because Puig gets on my nerves. But I hate the Cards, so let's just hope they're eliminated here against the Giants. Everyone already knows as a Braves fan I hate the Gnats and am a big Tim Hudson fan, so the Giants winning there pleased me.

I'll be happy with any of the teams left winning the championship aside from the Cards.

I must be doing shit wrong. I ran that shit perfect and boosted every time I could on the starter arcade, and I still couldn't break the 1 million points because I ran out of time.

Just pull for what I will be pulling for when Notre Dame plays FSU (or when Miami plays FSU for that matter).... a meteor to hit the stadium.

Are you going for the in-game challenge for that? None of the trophies require you to do that well on the starter board.

 
I guess there goes my chances of playing drive club tonight, or this week. Disappointed, but it's not like there's nothing to play right now anyway. Liked some of those comments though. So many shit talkers. No, you're not going to cancel ps plus cause you didn't get the extended drive club demo, be real. I doubt these guys are as serious about real life things as they are about their Facebook/blog comments.


Just curious, why does everyone hate the cardinals so much? I don't really like baseball, but the cards are the "home" team around here.
 
I was playing on the starter board at first too.  Then I realized something wasnt right due to the time issue.  Then I played the regular arcade board and sucked so bad I stopped to play SoM.  I am getting close to finishing it.

 
Article in the Baltimore Sun about fans disgruntled about the ticket sales on Tuesday. Like many, it seems, I put a down payment on a 13-game plan for next year under the impression it would also allow me to get tickets for this Saturday's game (game 2), which proved a bust:

http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-orioles-ticket-crunch-20141007,0,717532.story

I was thinking about getting this plan anyway - always wanted to have (some) season tickets, but I wouldn't have put a downpayment on it now except for the promise of getting tickets to game 2. The game sold out before I got through the queue. They need to rethink how this works for next time.

 
If anyone is interested in signing up for the QA testing mentioned the other day, here is the link: 
 
https://www.vmc.com/games/Pages/Multiplayer-Gamers-for-AAA-Titles.aspx
 
Schedules vary but so far (for me) it's been on weekends and evenings. There's an NDA so I can't give recent examples of games, but it's AAA stuff. Last week's game is one of fall's biggest releases that I know some of you are buying. Ubisoft & EA primarily use them for QA. The Walking Dead Season 2 is another example.  Pay also varies since it's based on your location's minimum wage. Compensation is sent through paypal.

You should quit watching baseball because of this issue. Its the only sane thing to do.

I'm an Astros fan so the Cardinals have always been the biggest rival for them (back when the Astros were good anyway, and in the NL). Plus they've been successful enough, like I said it's cool when new teams enter the fray. Also, their jerseys are terrible.

Nah. I'm over it. It did piss me off at the time, though. Had I understood how it worked, maybe I could have gotten tickets to game 1 if I'd tried again right at noon. Or at least game 6 instead of 7. Lesson learned. If they make it to the World Series I'll know better and jump back on at noon on the dot.

Oh yeah because whether or not a random number generator decides to give me a drop means I suck at the game. Because destiny prioritizes rewards for people who do better than others.

You really are a fucking retard sometimes.

I've completed one Raid so far and yesterday reached Atheon on the second attempt. Had a friend get the same two weapons in back to back raids, only ascendant energies. I got two pieces of Raid gear and a bunch of ascendant shards. Do you actually like the system Stotch? I just think out of the six, I was the only happy with what I got. It was mutiny, with everybody only getting energies.

I might put in some more SoM time myself later today depending on how my Pix the Cat playing goes (currently about half-done with the Nostalgia levels, Flower Bonus-ing each along the way). I'm starting to see board layouts and zig-zag movement patterns everywhere, and the Nostalgia music is hard to get out of my head. :whee:

You are not internet complaining correctly.

It's not really their fault, but a big part of my hate for them is from the infamous infield fly game a couple years back against the Braves. Every time I see them, it's the first thing that comes to my mind.

 
Alas we have no cats because one of our kids is both allergic to them and has asthma. Bad combo. I grew up with cats. My wife did not. So I guess she is to blame for the allergy nonsense!

Both my wife and daughter are allergic and have asthma so we dont have any animals. Thank god. I would not want to have to take care of them and a dog or cat. Plus the shedding from most dogs and cats is gross.

lol Infield Fly rule in the middle of the outfield. That's great officiating.

Now I'm watching random infield fly rule videos. This Mike Lowell one is cool, though he didn't get away with it.

Instead we have a leopard gecko. I love the little guy, but he mostly just sits around. SUPER lazy. Livin' the life, I guess. He's cute, though, and it's always fun to watch him hunt crickets. I use the term "hunt" loosely. For the most part he just stands there and when they walk buy he lunges at them.

here are my cat experiences:

#1 - girlfriend's cat. old frail cat that had bowel control problems and leaked poop all over the house in a semi constant trail. had to give her insulin shots. first animal I ever had to put down.

#2 - same girlfriend's new kitten after the first one was put to sleep. tiny little ravaging thing that ripped everything in the house to shreds. otherwise pretty cute. she took this one with her when she left and it proceeded to rip up her new apartment, presumably to rubble. fortunately she left this one with me:

#3 - same girlfriend's cat she left at her dad's house that he dropped off at our house at some point because fuck this cat. it was an 'outdoor' cat. filthy, stank, once watched him swallow a mouse whole and alive which was kinda of unnerving. liked to climb on me in my sleep. evil face. for some reason one of my neighbors would clean his ears with qtips and leave the qtips on my front porch (I later found out this was to make me feel bad for not taking better care of my cat's ears).
 
I had a minor allergy to them.  The rest of my family has it much worse so we never had them growing up or now either.  After the past few years of hanging out at my friend's house on Friday night, I think I have gotten over mine.  At least at their house it does not bother me anymore.  None of the other friend's I hang out with at their place have them, so I am not really sure if it is that I have just gotten used to their cats or something.

I actually really like Pujols, one of my favorite players. Guy is a machine. Plus the way he took Puig to school earlier this year was hilarious.
Click to expand...
I've always found Pooholes to be a pompous dick. I know he's better than most players, but you don't have to be a dick about it. His batting stance combined with his asshole sneer make him look like he's taking a solid gold shit. And he's a hypocrite. There was something from the 2011 season (that i can't recall) where he bitched about something the Brewers did that he had either done before or did it later.

In conclusion, fuck that guy.

Isn't "superhero hides super stuff from loved ones except for maybe one best friend" what the whole superhero world is mostly built on? That and fancy powers. But the hiding bit has been around forever. Smallville didn't invent it.
Click to expand...
I didn't say Smallville invented it, just that it ruined Smallville. Yes, it's a standard in comics. It's always a bad thing.

 
Oh yeah, I need to look at that promo at Walmart.

Do they limit it to 2 games at a time? IIRC there was a limit of two of a specific game/platform, but I'm wondering if going in with a handful of games would work. That'd be better than trade two games, get a copy of a third game, return the third game, repeat, repeat, repeat.

Lol, forgot you're a Brewers fan. The hatred makes more sense.

Also, as much as I hate the Cards, I should still add that they definitely earned their spot in the NLCS. Beating Kershaw twice in a 5 game series seems impossible, but they did it.
