I just got yelled at on the local buy/sell Facebook page by this woman because I asked her if she ran a puppy mill. She's got litters from like five different breeds for sale.

 
Aw yeah, ~3,000 XB1s sold in Japan over the first week: http://www.destructoid.com/xbox-one-sells-just-3-000-in-japan-following-launch-281267.phtml

I really really hate it when an Executive Director uses the wrong form of ensure/insure.  Several people use insure every time it should be ensure.  fuck

I guess thats why you guys hate it when I use YOUR wrong too? 

 
The more I see you guys post about Destiny the more I am glad I didnt get roped into the game. Seems like a lot of research and work to play it.
I assure you there's nothing complex about it or its systems. It's just jargon like you'd find with any other game. You shoot aliens and level up. Get better gear. Repeat. Of course there's ways to do this more efficiently and that's what's being discussed. Now stuff like the Souls series?? That's what really fucks my mind and ain't nobody got time...

I think I missed something. You were talking about Destiny, then you switched to some GOTY. Which game are you saying is GOTY?
that's_the_joke.jpg
 
A place called Brandsmart is selling Destiny for $30. I've never heard of it and it's only in south Florida and parts of Georgia. People are successfully price matching at other stores, though. Might be easier if you live in-state. GOTY for half off is one heck of a deal!

I was able to PM to BB last night for this in MD and there are no brandsmart locations in MD. It shows up in the BB system as a store they PM.

 
I wonder if the PSP sold more in the same time period. I would almost bet that it did.
Nah, PSP is finally dead in Japan. They've finally moved on to Vita.

The manager did not want to do it at first and i said check your system. He checked and said it was there. I would go as soon as you can since it is a YMMV thing.
Thanks. I'll try to coordinate things so I can do other stuff in the area and not potentially waste a trip.

 
Oh man, Hyrule Warriors is releasing I today and had a release day embargo? That really sucks, I guess the game is pretty shitty. Whenever there's a release day embargo it means that the developers totally lied to the consumer and made a completely shitty game. But despite that, I'll still get it and put 100 hours into it because it has one thing I like.

Edit: My point still stands.

Pretty decent reviews so far for Fairy Fencer F, though not from any sites I usually read. I have checked out ZTGD a few times.

Edit: Apparently it's around 20 hours long, Pete.

Would be nice to drop a code or two in the thread.
A code for what? I posted my twitch stream in the thread. The code changes everytime there's a new game, and whenever there's a new room code, I post it in the twitch chat so people can try to get in. I'm not coming back to the thread every 15 minutes and posting a room code that is useless to anyone not watching the stream.

Uh...no, it releases next Friday (9/26). http://www.amazon.com/Hyrule-Warriors-Wii-U/dp/B00KWEHBAG/

Also, "aero ease day. Embargo"? :rofl:

Wow Prof. You are really on top of this thing!

Go Vita Go! Sell! Sell! Sell!

 
My backlog has no time for "decent", thank you very much. :nottalking:

Maybe for $15-$20 in a few months, I'll pick it up.
For what it's worth, it currently has a higher average review score on Gamerankings than the jrpg you're currently playing. Not enough reviews yet to pay attention to that number though.

Fairy Fencer F looked decent to me before its release based on the gameplay videos I watched. I love the Tales series, and most of the complaints regarding ToX2 have to do with how they reused environments from the first one and the fact that the main character is a bit over-powered.

Yeah by no means am I saying a higher average review score means a better game, just pointing out the scores. I guess I should have said "good" reviews; I consider 7 to 7.5 to be good, and both of the mentioned games fall in that range.

Personally, I'd give ToX2 a 9 so far. The first I would rate 8.5.

 
Cording to the google, there's no way to make a twitch stream private. So I guess if we keep playing Fibbage, we have to deal with random cheaters.
What about PMing only peeps you want the room code? Is that a thing?

(I have no idea how this works)

Only thing I could think of would be to stop broadcasting when the code is about to be displayed and start it back up once everyone has the code. In theory you could have everyone in a party chat to get the code. Definitely a pain in the ass, but it would work.

 
I don't mind playing with randoms, I just hate the cheating. I even tried to ban one dude who was obviously cheating and he was still getting in, so I guess banning them just prevents them from chatting?

Yeah banning them just prevents them from chatting. And then they can just create a new twitch account and be back on in 30 seconds anyway.

 
I need to dig in to these jrpgs I have, but I'm conflicted on which one to start. Will ToS seem worse if I play it after ToX?
Maybe? Some claim that ToS has one of the best storylines in the series, but its graphics are obviously less-detailed than ToX's. I still plan on playing ToSC myself at some point.

 
Go Vita Go! Sell! Sell! Sell!
Yeah, Vita is doing ok in Japan, it's over 3million sold. Obviously a far cry from the 20mil that PSP did but at least Vita is starting to make waves. Video game consoles are down across the board anyway because of mobile gaming, I don't think the 3DS is on pace to hit 20 mil, though if the New 3DS is popular that might push it over the edge.

Yeah I toyed with the idea of selling some of them, but I figure good jrpgs are just going to get harder to come by. Can't hurt to have a handful on the shelf that I haven't played yet to scratch that itch in the future.

Hopefully once people get their hands on the Vita they will tell their friends that the 3DS is a piece of shit in comparison and all the good software is long gone at this point.

 
Here's my Floyd lyrics infused review of Run Like Hell Vita. Decent runner game with lots to do. Not a bad value for the current $4.50, but with the sales Draw Slasher always has (same dev/pub), I would anticipate a $2/3 range will hit in a month or two. Pretty quick and easy 100% too.

Anyway, here it is.
