Delivery attempt made on my IA/VT. Of course, no ones home to sign for it, so I'll have to try and hunt it down later.

factory sealed borderlands 2 vita bundle is back for $141 at amazon:

the tiv has been bouncing back and forth between $86 and $115 depending on whether or not awd has any in stock, so the dice roll if you want to swap out is up to you.

p.s. mine was 'new' but with an inspected by awd sticker and the 8gb card in retail packaging instead of the little plastic enclosure.

$78.50 currently for a original 3G/Wifi with the box. Tempted but probably going to hold off.

Mine is due tomorrow. Nippon Yasan didn't get it out the door as quickly as I hoped, but Fedex 2-3 day international delivery isn't a joke.

Yeah, took them a while to start shipping. But then it immediately went from being listed in Japan to being in Indy. Crazy turn around from FedEx.

I just checked my package finally made it to California. damn.

Oh and Gator tried the Guvel last night and it was alright. Would not choose again if I had the choice but it wasn't bad either.

Had to mute my mic most of the night too since my friend was sitting next to me.

My wife had her debit card compromised and someone spent a bunch in Cali. When it rains it pours.

I kept telling her to only use credit cards!

Yeah my mom and bro still use debit cards for whatever reason. Even on hotels and stuff, and then freak the fuck out when there's $100 pending charge on their account that locks up their money.

Galak-Z Review:

http://invertedaccess.com/2015/08/13/galak-z-review/

Labored on this one for a while. I really tried to like it. But you lose so much fucking progress when you die late in a season, it's so discouraging. Also the environments are pretty dull, there's basically two very similar type areas that you'll explore. Their layout is randomly generated, but it doesn't make them any less dull. The randomness of each playthrough is also way less compared to games like Spelunky and Rogue Legacy, where each playthrough can be legitimately different in a bunch of different ways. For the most part every mission here is the same.

I think it would have been better as a 5-6 hour adventure with hand crafted levels than as a roguelike.

Yeah, it did look very plain and repetitive. You also never seemed to get very good at it, though--control struggle seemed pretty consistent when I watched you play it. You might consider one of the other IA guys giving it a try to see if they enjoy it more, and if so, have them provide a counterpoint review.

I did finally get a lot better at controls.

Hopefully this one goes on sale soon-ish. Interested in trying it, but its seeming like waiting for a price drop was the best option.

He mentions in his review that he got used to the controls. It's a good thing I watched the stream as I hate controls like those so that pretty much set me off even though I like the rogue-like implementation.

 
Well, I'm happy to announce to everyone that Steve and Janet are expecting!  They've only known each other for about 10 minutes but I guess they like to fuck strangers.  Janet is a such a trooper raising a kid in the wasteland like she is.  Alice, on the other hand, started complaining about her aching feet after just 2 minutes of exploring the wasteland for supplies, but now her fingernails are starting to fall off from the radiation poisoning everyone's picked up from the low water supply. 

Bet you wish you looked a little harder for some supplies now, don't cha bitch???  Now Janet's baby is gonna be a freak!

I am tired of Bank of America sending me a new debit card seemingly every year.

No you assholes, I have told you I only want an ATM card not one of those nightmares!

Eh, board games aren't my thing. Grow Home's main story is only a couple of hours long from what I read in reviews on Steam so I'm going with Zombie Vikings as I liked their last game, Stick It To The Man. Coop play also reminded me of Castle Crashers, which was great.

 
Well shit! I was trying to set a TT goal to be #20 on the PSN OT Leaderboard by the end of the year, but it kept telling me I needed to be tracked by the leaderboard. I couldn't find the 'Track me' button on the leaderboard, and instead my iPhone decided I pressed the 'Remove me' button.

New TT goal: Re-acceptance to the PSN OT Leaderboard.

The newer editions of the Vita Slim bundles have 1 code for Borderlands 2 instead of 2 codes (one for game and 1 for DLC) and the 8 GB cards in retail packaging with a sticker over the barcode (I don't see a lot of stores carrying them anymore so they probably bought back old stock and started putting them in the bundles instead of making more). That's how mine came anyway when I bought it new on Prime day.

Android Police reviewed the iOS version, and said while the game is fun once you get past a certain point your vault just becomes too cluttered and the game grows tedious.

I still look forward to trying it though.

Send Topside a message to be added again.
 
Interesting. You have to manually scope out the map; you go up on a balloon and then look around with binoculars in order to find the points of interest, at which point they get added to your map. It's more realistic, sure, but seems a bit tedious. Depends on how many times you h ave to do it, I suppose.

I thought generally all released at the same time were supposed to be shared and it's a screw up by someone in the chain when it isn't.

Even games released at the same time shouldn't necessarily use a single list unless they're cross-save. But plenty of ports and such get the same list even when the PS4 version or whatever comes out a year later. There's no consistency that I can see.

 
Glad to hear Pancakes, Sage and Therms copies of IA/VT Colorful are showing up. Hope you everybody likes the game.

I agree that FedEx 3 day shipping is no joke. They ship so fast, you'll choose that option for every game imported and well worth the $9.

Hey Chewy did you order your copy?
