I hate eli, but the patriots were already taken care of before him.

Is PSNProfiles getting a denial of service attack or something? All the trophy cards are borked, at least for me, and their website isn't loading well.

I couldn't get used to run being R1, I guess you could change that but it felt better on the PS3 to me too for some reason. I'm guessing if I played it for awhile I'd be fine with it on the PS4 but like I said I got my fill for now anyway.
I always forget which is which. Is R1 the trigger or the bumper? For me it's set to the bumper and I don't think I changed anything to get that. Maybe I did and I'm forgetting. I wouldn't want it to be trigger. That would be weird. It was the same setup on the PS3 for me.

Did anybody here get Nidhogg? How well does the online work? Also is everyone playing on their boss and going to crush me to the point of making it no fun to play at all? I'm not sure if my kids are going to like it, but they might. If so, then this is kind of moot. I wish there was a trial.

P.S. just like that trophy cards are back. The Russian DoS has been stopped!

It is the bumper, which is what i want too but I think it's just that I haven't played it enough to be comfortable on the DS4.

 
South Park is $20 on Amazon now, think I'll grab it since I have Prime and just got a $5 GC from Bing. Word.
YO! I bought a physical game!!!! $16.39 after tax. Thinking a quick flip is in my future.

There's a lot of years to cover between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. About 80 or so. They went deep into the lore and because of that, it made it interesting. Going a bit deeper, there could be a new ring, but it would be as strong as the owner. Being a Maiar, Sauron is one of the strongest beings on Middle Earth, alongside the Istari. He used Celebrimbor as means to create the rings to bind all the races through the One Ring he later created. I did like the backstory of Celebrimbor and he being the "Bright Lord of Mordor". Perhaps he wages a losing war, but if that justifies a sequel, so be it.
But what about the chimingwas and the subrigors? You cant' forgot the role they played.

 
1. Not normally, but there is actually a bug you can exploit, but it's not even remotely easy. Check out the video on youtube of a guy doing a "solo eggplant run". But basically you need to be stuck with the ball and chain, something you really don't want to be stuck with. But if you have the ball and chain you can break through the statue via a certain technique. I'm forgetting offhand how exactly it worked. Anyway, the only reason you'd ever want to do this is so you can also do this super difficult solo eggplant run. The eggplant is a goofy thing that is supposed to only be useful in coop play.

2. Some of the characters are in the hidden levels. Like how Super Meat Boy was in the worm. You can look it up if you want. Also two are locked behind beating Olmec and beating Yama.
1. That sounds like way too much hassle to even bother.

2. I'm just talking about the random ones. I know how to get the hidden ones. I'm just still missing 2 random ones but I guess the only way to unlock those is to just keep playing and playing and playing...

Takes less than 5 seconds to change.

 
2 Spelunky questions for you pros:

1. In the ice levels, is there a way to kill yourself and respawn in the statue while still retaining what you're holding on to? I bombed myself while holding a shotgun and apparently that made me drop the shotgun.

2. Is there any hints or tips on how to find the characters I'm missing that randomly unlock? I still need 2 of them. Is it just 100% random?
1. There is one way, but it really unreasonable. It turns out that if you have the jetpack and the ball and chain you can actually break the top blocks of the Moai statue and I believe carry something in with you. People use that to do the solo eggplant run.

2. I think since it's the PS version the ones left are for beating Yama and finding one other randomly. Have you been to all the special areas?

R1 = Bumper, R2 = Trigger.

I have my run mapped to R2 (trigger) and I love it. It defaults to R1.

 
Yeah I've listened to their full albums a few times and bought the one that had the bit.trip runner 1 theme song on it. I almost went to see them live when they came to town a couple years ago, but couldn't find anyone to go with.

I love me some chip tunes. I sometimes seek out chip tunes versions of favorite albums. The OK Computer one is damn damn good, along with Muse & Metallica covers.
Not sure if you are into jazz at all, but there is a great chiptune version of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue called Kind of Bloop. Really great if you are into jazz and chiptune stuff

No I'm still missing 4, but I know how to get 2 of them. The other 2 are just randoms.

 
Just remembered I got a reward cert, looks like I'm getting south park on my way home.

It's my Friday, 3 days off! Can't wait to max out that raid gear, and my super sweet helmet!

I don't think they are random. They appear in certain places. But whether or not the level appears can be random. Like the castle which is only found in a "the dead are restless" level, which you don't always get. Even when you get it, I think sometimes the castle level is not there, but I'm not sure about that.

 
I think this pretty much sums it up. I think I'm just not into stealth games. I've never really given the genre a fair shake until I bought these two trilogies, and now that I have I don't think it's for me. I really love Metal Gear Solid though. I think what it boils down to is I don't like games that are "stealth or die". I like to be able to fight out of the situation if I'm discovered. I mean you can do that in Hitman 2, but that totally misses the point, and thus the fun part of the game.

I would encourage you to try a few missions of Blood Money before deciding to skip straight to Absolution or over the rest of the series entirely.

Oh I almost forgot. Derek is an asshole and everyone should treat him as such.
 
Amazing punctuation there.

Also, I need some new letters after my name in email signatures. I'm gonna use those.

"Tyler H., PA, MD, and D.C."

Guarantee nobody would ever question or call me out on what those all mean.
Physicians Assistant, Medical Doctor and Doctor of Chiropracty.

Its thursday doe not friday

 
It's absolutely a valid and sensible way to say what he intended. There's really no clearer way to phrase it as simply.
Lol, what? The clearest way to say you have three days off is to call Thursday your Friday? So what is Friday then? If someone can't understand what you mean when you say you have a three day weekend, that doesn't mean you have to go full retard to dumb it down for them.

The "it's my Friday" part is what I was referring to. No matter what two days you have off, that makes sense to anybody who hears it. The only real alternative is to say "I have X and Y off." Saying that doesn't really imply that you have them off because they are your weekend days, though; you could just have taken the two days off for some reason.

So yes, "it's my Friday" is the clearest way to say "Today is the last day before my weekend." Him having a 3-day weekend makes it an odd choice rather than "I have a 3-day weekend," but I was responding to your statement about the phrase in general.
