PSN Off-Topic - Happy Thanksgiving Chumps and Chumpettes!

Well, got $25.90 for my TLOU PS3 towards the PS4 preorder.  Will go back tomorrow or Wednesday to cancel that.  I wanted a disc copy of the PS3 version for the collection but $25.90 was too much to pass up since I'm sure I can buy a new copy for sub $10 later this year.

Also added my name to the fantasy football and LBP spreadsheets so that should be good to go.

And for a laugh....had to go to GS anyway tonight to return the 360 I bought from yesterday's failed BB fiasco.  All was fine until they got to the free game that I had picked up with the system...AC Revelations.  Guy goes to open it up and no disc.  Turns out the idiot forgot to give me the disc yesterday but it took almost 30 minutes to verify that I hadn't stolen the damn thing.  For some perspective this is the only GS in my area and I'm a fairly regular customer with a few hundred bucks trade credit, so it's pretty ridiculous that I would try to scam the store for an $8 game.  

And to top it all off, while I was there some soccer mom came in and got suckered into buying a $100 used Wii  :wall:  :wall:  :wall:

 
[quote name="Thermopyle" post="11963843" timestamp="1406595039"]So when selling regular games in a standard game case, how do you guys handle shipping? Best packaging/shipping option is basically what I'm looking for, and how you price that part of it.[/quote]
If you're selling on eBay, I just use their suggested shipping and print the labels through them. Very hassle free. I do drop the weight of the package from their suggested 7 oz down to 6 though.

As far as packaging, bubble mailers are dirt cheap on Amazon. On mobile or I'd link you to the ones I buy.
 
If you want a backgammon game that would be acceptable on a phone, but would be 99 cents, grab Backgammon Blitz. Also the online option is just giving me an error.

[quote name="Cleaner7" post="11963869" timestamp="1406595709"]I started a new later schedule a week ago so now I get off a couple hours later and have to work an hour overtime tonight too so I feel your pain. Got an hour and a half to go...[/quote]

I'd probably rather work later if I could go in later. I work 6:30-5 Monday-Wednesday and 6:30-4 Thursday & Friday. I've been working this schedule over a year now and still can't get used to it.
 
I'm thinking about doing a PSN friend purge. I have people on there who I have absolutely no idea who they are. To facilitate that it would be awesome if the OP had a PSN username/CAG Username list. Wiki? That way I don't purge people I don't mean to.
 
[quote name="Vigilante" post="11963894" timestamp="1406596152"]Wow. I work 8:30-4pm Monday-Friday until late August, when it'll change to 8-5pm. :shock:[/quote]

I try not to complain because I'm paid by the hour, but it gets to be a bit much at times. I had to call my Mom on the way home today just to have someone to talk to and keep me awake. :/

I like films with ambiguous endings that are open to interpretation. Most people hate them since they want a happy ending. The last film I really enjoyed like that was Take Shelter with Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain. That had a really great ending.

Take Shelter is really fantastic! Tyler - take that off your list!

IT'S SO GOOD. I remember watching that and Drive two nights in succession. What an awesome experience. :drool:

I really liked Take Shelter until the end. I don't mind ambiguous endings but I hate that it spends the entire movie grounded then takes a big ass leap suddenly. Unless I've misinterpreted something, lol. Overall great movie with great acting, though.

@Tyler/@Guardian_Owl - Yeahhhhh, I forgot to mention I don't live far from Scientology's spiritual headquarters (not joking), lol, so that definitely elevated my interest in The Master. But I'm generally interested in this sort of stuff anyway. Religion. Cults. It's why I keep coming back to this thread.

I decided to pass. I have enough Lego games to hold me over for a while.

I have none right now. However in that other thread you mentioned there is a decent chance we will get Vita Lego Batman 2 on PS+. I think I am going to pass on Lego Marvel. I did just grab Infamous 2. So I got 3 games out of the sale.

[quote name="ctrlcthenctrlv" post="11963949" timestamp="1406597275"]Hey Crunchewy, how do you feel about the Rogue Legacy bubble on your Vita?[/quote]

I feel like it should show a count down. And not be a bubble but a rectangle.
 
I can't believe how repetitive Saints Row IV is. You would think by reusing the same city, clothes, faces, cars and all other things of that sort, they would be able to add some variety to this game.

I had no idea The Master had anything to do with Scientology. That's odd...

 
[quote name="snakeybro" post="11963960" timestamp="1406597440"]Saints Row 4 is shit, 3 is a classic[/quote]

While I wouldn't go to this extreme, I did enjoy 3 much more than 4.

It's not the story of Scientology, but that's clearly the inspiration. Rips on it.

Geez...I just switched from 8:30-5 M-F to 8-4 (hooray new position with a 3% raise!) and even that's tough, haha.

Yeah I was working 8-5 M-W and 8-4 Thurs and Fri, but I had a second job that was from 5pm to around 11pm thurs thru sat, sometimes later. I had to quit the second job when the schedule changed at my main job.

You're basing your opinion on snakey's opinion? Good luck in life!

I don't know if my opinion is any better, and though I haven't played the DLC, if it's even on par with the standalone game, it's lame. Unfortunately because my install gets to 14% on the 3rd download for the patch and gets corrupted every single time, I will never be able to play the DLC.

 
So does the preload of Rogue Legacy on all the platforms mean that shit is playable at midnight? And if so, is it time zone independent like rpg?

These fancy preloads are so fancy.

Sucks on the DLC, I'd try to fix that. Is it worth $5 for the National Treasure (all dlc) edition?

When I started here I worked 6am to 3pm. That was way too early in the cold winter months so I switched to 7am to 4pm which was fine. Now I'm 9:30am to 6:30pm. It keeps getting later and later.

He rocks. Did anyone watch that film based on a true story where he was a hitman? The Iceman? I think that's the name. I'm not sure if it's still on Netflix.
