So, I think my PS4 has the disc slot eject issue. Did the power cycle yesterday, everything was fine. Woke up today, and as I'm brushing my teeth, I hear my PS4 turn on and eject the disc. Now that it's happened twice, should I send it in for servicing?

Another reason to go digital!

Oh and to add some more context to my boss wasting money, I have an Alienware Aurora-R4 to mainly work in spreadsheets. Spreadsheets! Oh and a 30 inch monitor.

Buy a cheapo computer and swap the guts, then you could tell all of us how awesome PC gaming is.

Either my skills have severely diminished since college, or the Very Easy difficulty label on the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection is a dirty fucking liar.

Yeah, that game sucks balls. I don't like to trash it when people are thinking about buying it because I'm not good at fighting games so my opinion isn't really a fair one.

But that game does suck huge balls.

 
The idea of Shadow Warrior seems cool but this I feel has always been my problem with 1st person stuff. What's to the stop the dude behind me who's about to impale me? Quick Turn? Do I have Spidey-Sense?

Also if they have the Amazon Visa they get 3% back (vs. 1%) when buying at amazon. So if the prices are identical, you're going to pick amazon to save a little more money.

Sounds like you and Stotch both have the Amazon Visa? I was always hesitant to pick one up because I think it was through Chase, where I already do my banking and I didn't know if I could have multiple cards from them and I didn't want to have it screw up my Chase Freedom rewards.

So is the Visa still through Chase? If so, do you know if it's ok to have multiple cards from Chase? And finally, what's a good Gift Card price to finally jump in and apply for one? I've seen it offer me gift cards as high as $60, has anyone seen higher than that?

Mine is Chase. I have no idea if there's an issue with an individual having multiple Chase cards, but my wife has a different Chase card. I think I got some kind of credit when I got mine, but I don't remember how much it was.

I bought The Walking Dead on PS4 disc because I love the series, has an easy platinum and want to add it to my collection. Also got a cheap copy of The Evil Within from Gamestop for $19, so why not. Rest of my PS4 library is digital. I'm trying the screw solution, but it irks me a bit that I have 16 year old consoles which work flawless and a piece of hardware not a year old is already on the fritz.
 
Screw it. Just grabbed Hatsune Miku. It's unlikely to go on sale cheaper and it's digital-only. I'll probably regret it, but I've been pretty curious for a while.

 
I think I might go to Taco Bell, but I HOPE I can resist the stupid contest and just get what I really want to eat. I have a feeling I'll cave… and then lose again. Effectively that's losing twice with each visit.

I just saw $40 for the first time. I think it may have something to do with the total price of your purchase.

I have an Amazon Visa (for a few years now) and it's with Chase. I think I got $100 when I signed up but it was years ago. It worked out nicely when I was building a gaming PC. I'm guessing Chase wouldn't mind as most banks, credit givers, don't mind you opening multiple accounts. More of a chance for them to get finance charges etc. I play it smart by paying off that shit when it comes in. Screw debt.

The one problem with all these reward cards is I can't get rewards everywhere all the time. At least with Amazon you know when you make a purchase there you get 3x the points which is nice.

Seems possible. Offer was $40 when I added a DS4 to my cart and $60 when I added the El Gato to my cart.

EDIT: Maybe I should use this to buy my El Gato...I need to talk to Ninja about it still a bit. Hopefully he streams today.

Yeah I'd be annoyed to all hell as well. Hope one of those fixes works out for you.

My kids want me to buy an El Gato, but they want the old one since it works with last gen, particularly with the PS3 too. But isn't it possible to get the new one to work with the old consoles? Or no? Also, the only way I'd buy this is if I can cash in on this sealed Wavebird I have in waiting. They do seem to sell for quite a bit, but the packaging on this one is a bit mangled.

 
so I had to 'kick' the blonde couple out. They kept wanting to just stay the night and hang out and didnt even wanna cam much anymore. Im like, iv got 6 kids and shit to do, you can come over and party/cam but you can't just stay here. The chic did not like that much. Iv never had a problem with stage 5 clingers like this before, cept maybe once or twice. It's just like, go home and only come back if we are gonna work. They were like we don't even care about the money, and its like, well that's the only reason you are really here. I hate being the bad guy, but gtfo.

You mean this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Capture-PlayStation-Definition-Recorder/dp/B00840353W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413821582&sr=8-1&keywords=el+gato

That's the one I want. I'm pretty sure it would work with PS4. Most the questions and answers say yes.

I have this chick on Facebook that weighs 155, around 5' 6" or 5' 7". She lifts weights; she isn't manly looking, just toned and looks great. Muscle weighs more than fat.

Tyler's fwb lifts confirmed?

 
Yo Therm,

You do a lot of side missions to level up in Natural Doctorine before doing main missions? I seem really underpowered in the main mission cave I'm in now.

I'd visit each dungeon once as soon as they come up. As long as you do that you should be okay. Which mission are you at? If it's the one where the gorians show up, yeah, you're supposed to be hugely overpowered and do nothing but run. Set yourself up as well as you can to book it as fast as possible--you can't fight there. Even if you kill them (which I did manage after a couple of tries) they just spawn more and you get squashed.

That chick knows where its at.

Tyler's fwb wants to go to Carl's Jr. So not confirmed, just the opposite.

Yeah that is fucking nutty. That dude was really obnoxious anyway, I can't imagine being around him for more than a couple hours.

It's $60 if you go directly to the credit card application. http://smile.amazon.com/Chase-Amazon-com-Rewards-Visa-Card/dp/B007URFTYI/ref=sr_1_1?s=financial&ie=UTF8&qid=1413822672&sr=1-1

The Discover It cards are giving $100 http://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=sv_fp_2?ie=UTF8&bbn=3561432011&rh=n%3A3561432011%2Cp_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A5652912011

By dungeons, I assume you mean the side cave things?

I'm at the one where I have to retrieve
Aslan's axe or something for the Orcs to free the young chick.

I think that's a couple after the one you described. I only get one turn of my dudes in before I'm crushed. Maybe I need to defense more.

I went Saturday and resisted. fuck ers had the boxes too. Usually the food is good. But the didn't put any beef in the Nachos Belle Grande and seemed to cheap out on the beef on the other items.

I should have just skipped them till the promo was over.
