So Lords of Shadow 2's Revelations DLC--yay or nay? I know it has trophies, but I'm curious about its overall quality.
im going to buy it, reviews looked good enough to me. lords of shadow 2 came from g amefly the other day. there single game shipping has got WAY faster (probably due to the refunds they had to issue a couple months back during a sale when tons of people didnt get their games) and the last 3 single games ive got from them all had tracking numbers on them, even though they didnt actually send me the tracking number for them.

Most of what non AC fans liked about AC4 was the ship battles. Which aren't in either new AC game anyway. They semi fixed the running up walls crap but not completely. I can't see me playing either game. And yeah the tailing missions SUCKED.

I didn't even notice that Tyler changed his avatar. I was thinking Pete was really active in posting today, but he wasn't funny at all. Now it all makes sense.

And fuck you Pharm for the sentence in your sig.

I was hoping GF might be decent for rentals, but it just isn't going to work out for me. They're super slow for Nashville. I scheduled my first rental on a Sunday and it arrived Saturday, then when I sent that back two weeks ago Monday morning it was the past Monday before I got the 2nd game.

I'm not sure if this is the usual experience for people through them, but even at only 1 game a month 25% of my rental fee is being wasted. :(

why would you even use gamfly for renting, that is horrible decision. with the gaming deals you find on this site, you can easily buy games for low price, and trade it back in to gs/ bb for the same price you bought it for. thus, basically equal to a free rental

 
finished up Shadow of Mordor.  Now to decide if I want to go for the plat before trading it in...I need the following trohpies:

-Burning Vengeance

-No Power in Numbers

-Stinking Rebels

-The White Rider

Contrary to popular opinion on this site, time does have a value. Drive to GS/BB and deal with their CSRs, or mail and receive games at home? Easy call for me.

And has there ever been a more majestic trophy card? 100 games, 100%, OKAMI image.

Are there games you won't play because 100% is no longer possible?

I've been using it for Vita games, and a lot of those don't have much in the way of physical sales. Demon Gaze for example starts at $26.50 used and I don't believe I've seen it lower than that at all. Mind Zero starts at $30 and is the same (though it's coming to PC so I'll play that there.) If the turnaround time had been a couple of days then it could have been worth it to rent such from GF (especially with the discounted gift cards) versus the hassle of reselling on eBay. And no, there's no way I'd get anywhere close to what I paid by trading in to GS/BB. That only works at BB and only if you are a GCU member and flip the game quickly.

 
Important announcement:  Since Tyler incepted me the other day, I took it upon myself to find, buy, and eat a happy hippo this afternoon.  It was good but tiny.

 
Bah,wrong thread, as you said. One time I got to wave five, but then the bogeys pounded the shit out of me until I died, all because one of those fuck ing rolling things was still alive.

Tyler: did you beat this level?

http://www.twitch.tv/mrninjasquirrel/c/5241553
No, but I've never actually played the game with a controller, so I've never tried to beat it either because it looks tough as balls. If the game does actually come out while I'm still alive I'll go for it. How long did it take you?

 
Oddworld update:

Not only did I get the under 3 hours achievement, but I also did it while on hard mode. So I just got a bunch of trophies and completely avoided having to do a third playthrough. Because I'm a boss at Oddworld.

Then there's the time I played through Munchs Oddesey 5 times, and still didn't get the last trophy to pop.
 
Amazing Day

Sounds like Munky knows what's up.  Went to World Market and scored some Happy Hippos.  They are indeed delicious and smaller than I expected as well.

While there, I was also able to grab the Ninja Turtles:

Later, at Dollar Tree, I made the best find of the day!

They are called Klik Candy Dispensers, some type of ripoff of Pez.  No idea why any one though the PS Move themed ones were a good idea, but I think they're awesome!

Life is great when you're an idiot and have expendable income.

 
This week was a nail biter for me in fantasy.
I went into today thinking I had a nice margin of safety with being projected 20 points over Equistina. Now I'm 30 points down. Still have 3 players to go and she had one, but I'm pretty sure it's over already. :(

Still a chance Seahawks and the kicker go off.
