You listen to the CAGcast? Do they still spend 50% of the time talking about snakey's favorite topic - pooping?

Yeah, I have about a half an hour commute in the morning so it passes the time. I listen to music too but sometimes on the way home I need something a little less loud. As for the poop from time to time still.

Yeah mpaullin said it is short and kinda slow and said he didn't love it. Reviews aren't exactly sparking for it either, but I'll still check it out when it hits the right price.

Heh, you got 100%? Nice of you to speak up when I asked for help with pets and armor. I see how it is.

Which raises another question about trophy requirements. They're adding a ton of new stuff. Which I'm totally happy about (especially if it's on par with PC). But in respect to trophies it's completely unfair. A new set would have been a nice compromise. But this is me assuming they upped the requirements again. Hopefully that's not the case.

Why would I bother buying the PS4 version to do that? I can just do it on PS3 and Vita whenever I want.

And the only trophies I need are stupid luck based ones and/or ones I just need to boost with someone who already has what I need. There's no more fun trophies left.

I got a $5 amazon GC from Bing today. So I'm only another 79 of those away from a free PS4. I already have a PS4 though. It's awesome. If you don't have one you should get one.

Oh and another CAGcast, more PS4 bashing. :bomb: :bomb: :bomb:

other than them being xbox fanboys, the main reason they like the X1 interface better is because they already have the x1 booted up for using the TV features so its the "hassle" of booting up the PS4 to do something whereas the X1 is already on, IE laziness.

 
I think it's a testament to Rogue Legacy's soundtrack when I can instantly recall Ponce de Leon's boss music months later in my head and it still sounds as awesome as it did while I was playing it. :joystick:

They haven't said, but I imagine they'd be screaming it from the rooftops if it was. Terrible move. I'm a huge fan of the game but asking us to buy it 3x (4th for me, as I own it on PC) is dumb. At least offer a discount like Minecraft did.

Edit: actually, vita version was free with PS+. But still...

Oh damn, if the emblem is on the PSN trophy lists then it's for sure a shared list. I was hoping PSN Profiles maybe was wrong. fuck.

PS4 version is not cross-buy, but if you buy the PS4 version at launch they'll give you the Vita version for free if you don't already have it, which I'm sure we all do.

So lame. I'd love an excuse to play through the game again, and new trophies are that perfect excuse. I'll always have the PS3 and Vita versions to play whenever, so for now I'll just move on to other games.

Minecraft did great in this regard. PS3/PS4/Vita all have separate lists. The PS4 and Vita versions obviously have more updates to the core game so they added a bunch of new trophies that encourage checking out these new updates.

Literally polar opposites in the two games when it comes to trophies. Minecraft went above and beyond to get separate lists with newly added fun trophies and Terraria has one boring lazy trophy list for all 3 versions of it's game.

RPG help someone with a game when he gets nothing out of it?

Ha...hahah....hahahahahahahahahaha
 
I wonder how long until nicalis fixes the Isaac no damage achievement bug. I need to get the last one before they make it as hard as it's supposed to be. I thought they seemed easier than they should be

Tyler, if you're going to have a separate winner for novices in the Spelunky Daily Challenge, I might be up for it. :applause:
Click to expand...
Yeah, I think we'll split the points in half (so two winners of this monthly challenge will both get 5 points in the long-running total) since Spelunky is a really unfair game in that it gives a huge advantage to previous players. I hope we have several novices enter.

Status will be determined by your answers to the 2nd question here and how many trophies you've earned in the game already.

Lol, I answered no to the first question and still answered the second as a joke. I'm guessing Geoffrey did the same, but I legitimately don't think RPG understands that second question.
 
It seems like every fuck ing time I do the daily pita special that comes with a free drink (every month or so)  I press the Pibb button on the red coca cola machine, it spurts about an 1/10th of a cups worth and then runs out.

Did the hard raid last night pretty quickly and got atheon done on the third try. It was fun and one of the 30s on my team got a complete set of raid gear, 2 praedyths timepieces, time breaker, and plan c all in one go. So the person who needed nothing got everything lol. On the other hand I got my 4th vision of confluence.
 
[quote name="endergeek123" post="12219349" timestamp="1415385597"]Too busy with Isaac. Sorry. I wouldn't do well anyways, haven't played in forever[/quote]

It's like riding a bike. You never forget. Anyway, if you do bad it won't take you long to play!
 
I bet two "bosses" last night in Issac and made it down to Caves I.

I know the game is a rouglelike but is the really no checkpoint or place to continue at?

You start from Basement 1 every time. In Rebirth you can stop in the middle of a run though. It saves at the beginning of every floor

 
let it be known that my 'bugles' escapade is finally at an end and I did not succeed. fate has different plans it seems.

spoilered for uninteresting and personal journalness
after starting this whole thing in July and going through (I think) somewhere around a dozen interviews plus a trip to california and a handful of bugles hangouts with fancy managers I think I'm actually glad to be done. I'd rather the whole thing ended differently, but I reckon it just wasn't meant to be.

the process is soooo agonizingly long. the thing that's frustrating is that if it were up to the people I interviewed with and the hiring committee I would've been in. however there's an 'executive committee' made up of VPs that review all this stuff before making an offer and apparently for both jobs they gave the thumbs down, primarily because I've only worked in a smaller environment for the past 14 years (500-600 people, only a couple physical locations) and they didn't think I could hang with the enormity of bugles. while I'm sure I could, it's not a totally unreasonable concern.

so, disappointed but at peace. now to figure out what's next.

I think I'll rub the scalps of some hatsune miku vocaloids for trophies to cheer me up. they're always so damn happy.

Condolences TAFKAP, but in a lot of ways you are likely better off. Even with a huge salary bump, the cost of living jump to move to the Bay area versus the plain states would likely be even more of a shock than you expect.

[quote name="Zimm108" post="12219389" timestamp="1415386504"]Can someone give me the Cliff Notes version of what Ghosting is in Spelunky so I know how to not do it for the challenge?[/quote]

If ghost goes over (full size) gems she turns them into much more valuable diamonds.

And "ghosting the vault" means bombing your way into the vault (two treasure chests with a shopkeeper guarding them) and letting the ghost go over the gems before collecting them: big points. But opening the vault and taking the non-ghosted gems is fine and sometimes some of them will already be diamonds.
