while I have no idea what 'seed changed to 0' means it sounds turrible. do you at least have a ps+ save to roll back to?

Nope, I just started playing it yesterday. I had not setup cloud backup on it yet (why doesnt it just work like PS3?). Everything is gone. Even if it had done a backup last night, I had played a lot this morning. In fact, a majority of it had been today.

The seed is what determines the initial world you were given. Then it saves the mods on top of that seed value.

I always forget to set that up when I start a new game. it's still better than the initial method where the cloud backup settings were so painfully obscure (I think it was a checklist in that content manager app or something?).

anyhoo, sorry to hear that minecraft screwed you. tyler is somehow responsible I'm sure.
 
I just finished getting the platinum in Duck Dynasty and according to PSNProfiles I am the second person to do so.  Decently easy Plat with only a few tricky trophies.

The Packers were beating down the Panthers so bad that FOX actually switched to the Seahawks game.

I am liking this for the beatdown, but not for lame ass Fox switching the game. Pisses me off because they actually chose it for local TV here in Orlando, so I can't watch it on DirecTV with Sunday Ticket either due to blackout restrictions.

Figures the one time I pick the Pack to lose all year, they break out the Kick Ass.

Sorry (not sorry) Matt.

You picked them to lose here?! I guess I can't be too mad, you can't argue with the results. I am going to need you to pick them to lose every week from now on though.

cool, hopefully that means sony is finally done implementing trophies for all the other ps1/ps2 games that are available.
 
[quote name="tylerh1701" post="12170208" timestamp="1413705247"]Holy shit, there is? Do you know where the mexican guy shows up?[/quote]

I think there is one per world but I don't recall which one I got him in. At least I could have sworn I got one per world. ???
 
psnation is chattering about a rumored giant 3rd party exclusive for ps4. for some reason they're positing that it's a red dead follow up from rockstar.

evil within spoilers (ch 9):
running around trying to find hiding spots from ravik is pretty awesome in that 'oh shit this is kinda tense' way, and once again proximity bombs make it more of a hassle than it needs to be. good job out of them for not backing away from a painful game mechanic I guess, it certainly adds to the tension.

also, am I understanding right - so far in the game plotwise the theory is that we're in his brain?
 
Got an exchange for my mute-switch busted iPhone (knocked it off the roof of my car into concrete), but the days of one free exchange for any reason are over. It was going to be $299 to replace it so I asked if I could buy AppleCare and get a free replacement that way. The guy looked at me and said he can't do that at this point, but if I purchase it from a sales person and they don't spot the broken switch and sell it to me, then i could "beat the system" that way. I said I'd try it and he said, good luck. I did and it worked. Nice tech support! I got a case this time....

If they used score or K/D ratio for drops than I'd never be able to get all the good gear. I hope they never make this happen with a update.

I'm in the same boat. I end up getting a lot more assists than kills because it seems like i unload a full clip then I get hit with two shots and I'm down.

This is exactly how I feel. I know the more time I put in on the game I'll get better. I'm not great at FPS but Destiny is fun playing with members of the PSNOT clan.
 
I thought I was going to get the Jak 2 plat, but even with the orb glitch the orbs are tedious as fuck. What a huge disappointment the game turned out to be after the first. Ah well.

 
Oh shit. My team took off. Not sitting on a guaranteed win or anything, but things look way better now than they did earlier even with one guy not giving me a single point up to the half.

I only have the orb trophy and the metal head gem trophy left for the plat, but I can't make myself go back and get them. I popped it back in with the intention of getting it one time, but after about 20 minutes just said screw it. Kept bumping into guards and getting shot at.

What was changed in the league rules, Pipp?

Oh I just took that week off that I added so the championship isn't week 17, and added a +2 for points in the playoffs for the home team for a small reward for those who end with the best regular season records.

Metal Head you should be super close on if you beat the game. There's some area in the trophy guide that's recommended as it just keeps spawning stuff that will get you that.

For the orbs there is a glitch you can do. Basically just before falling/punching into the orb, hit start and restart the mission. The falling/punching animation finishes anyway and the game registers the extra orb collection but lets you get the same orb over and over again. With each orb mission counting for only 3 orbs, though, you'd have to do it a ton. I finished the game with 60 orbs, so I'd have to do it 70 times just to get the plat. Not worth it IMO. It's not a fun enough game to spend more time in.

Yea hopefully you take out the last undefeated team. I wouldn't watch tonights game though because his points will be adding up fast.

You get one character randomly per area, which is to say, one (randomly chosen from the locked ones) character in the mines, one in the jungle, one in the ice caves, and finally one in the temple. There's also a character in each of the secret areas, such as the black market.

EDIT: To clarify, Lime, Yellow, Cyan, and Purple are all unlocked in the regular areas. Once you unlock one in one area, you won't find another there. If you find Yellow in the mines, you will NEVER find another coffin in the mines again unless playing co-op, and only if at least one player is dead to serve as a respawn point. Special characters like the cyclops show up in the secret areas. (I don't think that's a major spoiler, the black market's pretty easy to get to in Spelunky terms.)

so hopefully the $40 for evil within holds for a week. I still have 5 chapters left and apparently at least one is wicked long. I'm not so deluded to think that I'll have time to do any of the additional run through trophies, but I would like to at least finish my no upgrades survival playthrough and maybe head back for the missed chapter specific trophies just to have that part of the list nice and tidy.

it's a bummer you didn't like it tyler, it really has redeemed itself at this point in my mind. not sure why they felt the need to fuck up those first few chapters. everything from chapter 4 or 5 on has been real decent and the story has gotten adequately ridiculous. there's even puzzles that make re4's look sophisticated like:
...putting needles in surgical head models to unlock a door in a house.

I expect nothing short of absurd and awesome for the final boss fight, whatever it is.

I got through 4 and 5 and still didn't like it. 4 was a lot of trial and error basically figuring out you couldn't kill half the enemies in that chapter and you just have to run from them. 5 is finally some good action, but I just didn't like it. Camera is kinda wanky, melee sucks, enemies take too many bullets, etc. It just wasn't clicking for me at all.

Got my $44 for it though, so that's nice. Maybe it will go on sale in a couple weeks and I can get another $8 from it.

Collecting the orbs is the only trophy I have left. I knew about the glitch when I played the game and I like my trophies and all, but seriously.... fuck this game.

 
Thanks for mentioning the price match guys.  I was going to BB anyway for the trade-in, so I just mentioned it.  I had the smartest BB employee ever, got my trade in done in just a minute or two and got me $8.50 back on the price match.  Very awesome.

So $51.28 (including tax) for the game, $10 Gift Card, $44 trade in, and now another $8.50.  GCU + BB are awesome.

Well fuck, I don't remember where I found the other ones.

Wait until chapter 10. Some tense fights in that one, too. Thankfully traps seem to be more and more infrequent as you go. I'm at the start of chapter 12 (which is nuts, btw) and it just keeps getting better. Your guess is as good as mine as far as the story. Inside the one dudes brain sounds about right. I keep waiting for some sort of twist with the protagonist being in the asylum all along since they keep bringing up his past in the diary/paper clippings.

One tip I just figured out is that aiming is a lot easier if you keep snapping to the different targets rather than continuing to aim and moving to the next guy. Perhaps this is something really obvious that I only just figured out, but I'll pass it along anyway.

Finally, chapter 11 isn't really that long. I think snakey just sucks. 10 was way longer asi recall, buti didn't time anything.
 
Good news for most of you guys, but I think I'm done with Spelunky.  Don't really feel like doing a $500K run (kinda burnt out, plus ghosting is really boring), no idea where to find Lime, and not dying to try Speedlunky either.  Maybe I'll come back to it at some point in the future.  But doubtful.  I got way further than I ever imagined though.

Now's the time to do it. $500K isn't that hard and Speedlunky isn't too bad either because you're trying again pretty quick.
 
From one difficulty extreme to the other.
