So then I take it no one here has seen the recent news concerning next week's update. :rofl: The love/hate relationship continues. But, yeah, good luck with the flawless run. I'm definitely done until the DLC drops. Need to play some other stuff, anyway.

 
Now that the dust has settled from this morning, I'd like to say that you definitely know when you've gone overboard when even Munky starts calling you out. I've only seen the dude annoyed at destiny, but today he was on fire and all riled up. Hopefully he brings that to the raid.
Can you imagine what it would be like if Therm killed me in crucible while my team was up by 5000 points?

 
Based on watching a few minutes of Dovah's stream yesterday I cant imagine how anyone playing that game can pay attention to the chat. Pretty hectic and lots of dudes talking over each other trying to get her attention.
Yeah its an awful streaming game, ive been saying that forever. You have to be in communication with your fire team a ton and theres not big pauses or breaks to interact with the chat. You literally cant even pause the game.
 
Well, now this is interesting: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/12/03/pdps-gamecube-style-controllers-wii-u-dont-require-adapter-work-games/

I might pick up one of those third-party "Gamecube" controllers now. :whistle2:k I love that Samus one.

Definitely want the Samus and Link ones out of this set. I'm currently aiming for the Luigi one though-- I want it to go with the Luigi WiiRemote they released.

 
My Ps1 story...

It was Christmas 96, My dad had a super nintendo that we always played and was passed on to me that I loved.  And out of no where I got a PS1 for Christmas.  I was a big hockey fan/sports fan in general and along with my PS1 I got NHL 97.  I still remember booting it up for the first time and just sitting there completely shocked at what I was seeing!  FULL 3D!

For a sports fan this was the true beginning for good sports games with full 3d environments helping out so much.  My biggest memory for my PS1 that I played to death!

Resident Evil and Twisted Metal are what awed me.

 
Top 10 PS1 games in no particular order because shut up:

1. Final Fantasy VII

2. Valkyrie Profile

3. Chrono Cross

4. Metal Gear Solid (forgot I played this just last year and it really does hold up extremely well)

5. Breath of Fire III

6. Final Fantasy Tactics

7. Spider-Man

8. The Legend of Dragoon

9. Wild Arms 2

10. Vanguard Bandits (oh man, I loved that game)

I would have listed Crash Bandicoot or Spyro, but it's been at least 15 years since I've played either series and I don't remember them very well. :oops:

I loved breath of fire 4. That game goes on my list too!
 
PS4/PS3/Vita anniversary themes are up and free. Here's the PS4 link

Don't have the link for the others, haven't gotten them yet.

What news? The Templar patch? It's not a hard fight if you know what you're doing. We had him down to almost 50% health after one shield break but made a rookie mistake to ruin it.

I never had a PS1 until recently.

I did a console swap a few years after it came out with a neighbor friend I had at the time. I let him borrow my N64 and three or so games and he let me borrow his PS1 with Oddworld, Smackdown 2, and Metal Gear Solid.

I only played Oddworld for a few minutes and didn't find it very interesting. I played Smackdown for a while and was entertained by the campaign mode. What I really remember was playing Metal Gear Solid for hours on end, even passing it twice to get both endings and for the unlimited ammo headband and I think the invisibility suit (may have been something else). At the time, the story was engaging and it was the first time I had played a stealth game.

So if I were to put something in my top three PS 1 games, that would be it. Everything else would have to be either a port or something I played later.
 
Eh. I'm a bit older than some of you. My first system was an NES. My cousin had a Sega Master System, but lived on the other side of the country. After playing the crap out of Alex Kidd in Miracle World on a visit, I wanted one. Saved up my $5 allowance for quite a while, then somehow my dad convinced me NES was better and I bought that instead. I still have no idea how he did it because I don't remember that argument at all. I didn't regret the change, though.

This was Alex Kidd if you're not familiar with it:

SNES was amazing as well. I ended up with around 30-40 games for each system. Didn't really get into Gameboy much but I also had one of those, then later on a Genesis. Bought a PS1 when that came out for FF7, never finished it, and never really got into that system much. The last system I played much before PS3/Vita was my SNES, then I got out of console gaming until Vita came out and then I bought a PS3 last year.

 
Oh shot, planetdestiny is saying that with the next raid, Bungie apparently is adding a way to track what rewards you've already received in an effort to get more varied drops. I was really hoping to get the same sniper rifle every raid for two straight months though.
 
The campaign mode for smackdownc2 was whack. You had to simulate matches for weeks and youd be lucky to get on the card. At least no mercy had storylines for each belt andndifferent paths based on choices/wins/losses

I can't read the update cause my phone won't pull it up. Actually I think they are making you start from scratch when you upgrade an exotic in the new dlc. So it adds a node but you have to start from the beginning. So you lose hours of progress with each weapon you upgrade. People are furious.

When I was younger I traded for a lot of stuff I couldn't buy. I traded a Walkman for a GameGear and then traded that for my PS1. After owning a PS1 I've been hooked on Sony consoles.
 
yea kinda sad but i think i gave my PS1 to my best friend after getting the PS2, kinda regret it because I would have kept it...

PS1 though was what really made me my own gamer

 
Wow, buying new legendary gear from Vanguard or Crucible will require a commendation which you only get by ranking up their reputations. That's fucking stupid.

Um, the templar patch already happened (didn't we talk about this yesterday?). Anyway, I'm talking about the number of changes they're making to exotic weapon upgrades, Xur etc. Basically what Stellar mentioned. I'm not as apoplectic about it as others but the shit is still pretty lame. Especially if you've spent time updgrading exotics. Pravado may have been right, man. 1 step forward, 2 back. Oh and Deej responded with a dumb tweet, deleted it, and apologized.

Too many PS1 games to list, buuuut:

Metal Gear Solid (the GOAT)

Gran Tursimo 2

Street Fighter Alpha 3

Syphon Filter

Driver 2

Crash Bandicoot

Still haven't played FFVII :whistle2:

Haven't played FFVII either.

Last time I tried was right after playing Crisis Core. I couldn't handle the switch to lego people graphics so I didn't make it very far hahaha.

when you guys talk about these things are they actually big deals to the playing of the game or they minor annoyances? it seems like every other week they're making the kind of balance changes you see in mmos once every 3 - 6 months.
 
Speaking of good rap music. Does anyone listen to Doomtree? They've got a new album coming soon. They are part that great Minnesota hip hop sceNe like Atmosphere and Brother Ali?

They're pretty ridiculous changes. Not really for any kind of balance, just to keep you playing longer to get anywhere. I'm vanguard rank 6 or 7, that's since launch. So I'd only be able to buy 6-7 pieces of gear when I've already bought more in that time. This also after they already have a limit on marks you can earn each week to buy these things as well. Which is pretty much the only viable way to get decent gear outside of the raid.

Oh I forgot: Honorable Mention for Parappa the Rapper. Kick! Punch! its all in the mind.
That's one I was surprised nobody posted. I played the fuck out of it.

I also loved Tenchu, and I don't think anyone mentioned that awesome game.

The PC version has a number of mods available to help on the terribly-aged graphics:

Haven't played it myself, but looks to be fairly low requirements to run.

This is a part of why I decided to not play it on PS3. I'm hoping by the time I get a PS4 in a couple of years that they'll have forgotten about Destiny and it'll be static with nice guides so I don't have to deal with this bullshit.

Gonna be so exciting playing all by yourself.

I was confused. I thought someone gave Barrett an Iron Man costume.

I'm not big on MP games for the most part. I don't mind going for online trophies if it's easy, but no way I'm going to bother with Destiny's. I like games I can knock out in a reasonable amount of time and a lot of the online stuff just drags that out unnecessarily.

That looks pretty solid. I don't think the retro bad 3D would bother me so much any more, but it's good to know someone actually bothered to fix it up a bit.

 
fuck yeah.  My plan to get money before turning paperless has worked again.  Chase just asked me to switch for $5.  And its only on the checking account which I couldnt care less about anyway.

 
I used to go to shows all the time, NIN, Tool/APC, SoaD, MSI, gravity kills, Rob Zombie, Lords of Acid, Daft Punk, Slipknot, Manson, Garbage, etc. I havnt really listened to music or gone to any shows (rave/fests not counting, cuz i dont really go for the music). People keep asking me if I heard Reznor's new album/etc, but I havnt kept up. I will def check out MSI's new album you mentioned, I really loved all their albums especially frankenstein girls will seem strangely sexy and alienating our audience. Last good Nin album was probly the fragile that i listened to, but The Downward Spiral is always the best.
I met Marilyn Manson and Twiggy at a Radiohead show of all places. It was on The Bends tour and it was before they blew up. Portrait of an American Family was out. They were pretty cool and got autographs...probably still have em somewhere lol.

The local public college format radio station has major wood for them. Every festival they sponsor has them. I don't know if I've heard any of their music (probably have but didn't know it was them), but I'm annoyed by them just for this reason.
