Best Buy changed the Pit amiibo release date to 12/30. The 12/31 was a placeholder, so I guess 12/30 is the real date. I had read it was going to be February. Not perfect, but our oldest will certainly be happier than he would have been on Xmas when he gets the pre-order.

JC2, without question. DO IT

Yeah that's what I'm heavily leaning towards. Started it right at the same time as Burnout Paradise, and that consumed my life. Only finished the first retrieve all the access cards or whatevers mission. Then Deadpool came and I had to get my hack-n-slash on. Don't really want to jump right into another hack-n-slash right away either. Plus I really really want to get to that Lost hatch mission.

After all your LoS updates, I kinda want to start up the first one after I finish Deadpool. But that Just Cause screenshot makes me want to go back to that. What to do what to do.

Both are great. Depends on what you want to play. LoS1 will be less of a time sink, but JC2 is stupid fun.

EDIT: you did just play Deadpool which is probably fairly similar in combat to LoS. So JC2 it is!

The terms of the Prime agreement state you can do it 12 times in a year. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?tag=dealnewscom&nodeId=201117450

Just say this:

"Hello! My order missed the guaranteed delivery date by x days. I saw that Amazon will extend a Prime membership by a month, if a package misses its delivery date. Am I eligible for that extension for this order not arriving on time?"

Holy hell had no idea this was an official policy. I'm going to wait til tomorrow when my delivery has officially missed its target date before I request it. Thanks!

Jesus Christ. I just went to a community college then a state school so it was nice and cheap (My MBA was only about $20K) and I worked 3/4s time and lived at home ($300/month rent) so I never had student loan debt.

And that daycare bill sounds like reason 5,000,001 not to have kids.

EA UFC coming to the EA Access Vault next week.  So glad that Sony decided that I shouldn't have the opportunity to play a month's worth of FIFA 14, Madden 25, Battlefield 4, Peggle 2, NFS: Rivals, PvZ Garden Warfare, and EA UFC for $5.  Thanks for saving me that $5 Sony!!!

Yeah Tyler, please explain this inside joke to me. I must be oblivious since I dont know why you think LoS1 would require more time than JC2. Does LoS1 mean something to you Mormons?
Click to expand...
LoS is long and bloated as fuck.

And not sure why you guys are thinking I'm comparing it to JC2. I intentionally removed that part from your quote. I'm just pointing out that it's funny to see the words "less of a time sink" and "Lords of Shadow" used in the same sentence. Because LoS is a huge fucking time sink.

BBY wasn't open yet so I took it upon myself to call customer service. Big mistake, especially considering that there wasn't anything they could likely do for me in the first place. Ahh... hindsight.

I get a woman with a heavy middle eastern accent. She tells me her name is "Wendy". Whatever.

I tell her everything I've told you guys.

She asks for the order number. SHE can't understand ME and has to have the number read to her 3 times.

I'm put on hold for 10 minutes because it takes that long to look up my order.

She comes back on the line and says "sir, your order is showing it's ready for pick up".

fuck you Wendy.

If I just said that LoS was NOT a time sink then I could see your point. But LESS of a time sink doesnt mean that LoS isnt a long game. For a hack and slash action game its fairly long and could be a time sink if your going for plat. But it is still much less than the 70 hours I put into JC2.

BTW, go fuck yourself Tyler!

Student loans will be the death of me...

Doing a job that has nothing directly to do with my degree and paying tons of money back to the government for nothing...  it's all a scam!

Wait, what? You have student loan debt for nothing? You just asked for a loan to repay without ever receiving any money?

Having to game at the crack of dawn and an address in Kansas. Also known as the Zonk behind door #2.

You know exactly what I mean! Everyone say go to college, it's what every kid should strive for... but honestly everyone should just go to a trade school...

Schools should just have majors based on very specific jobs only and nothing less. Accounting, engineering, teaching, and nursing are the big ones that come to mind

 
Michael Bloomberg did just tell everyone to go to plumbing school instead of college.  "College is just for the elite white kids who want to waste their trust fund on alcohol, coke and hookers."

I am paraphrasing of course.

I wonder how this works for friends and family. I would do this if my friend gets an additional month for free. But it isn't really my account.

I went to private catholic college, wife went to a state school but got a masters, I have more debt than she does.

Good thing she makes twice what I make.

In other words, everyone who watches Bloomberg just said, "I am glad our kids still should go to college!"

Student loans are definitely over $1000 between the two of us. Current daycare is like $245 a week.We want to have another kid, but are trying to figure out if we can swing the extra daycare. The place we are at now said we can get a 10% discount off of a sibling. Bwahahah.

I'd buy a proper remake or port of final fantasy tactics with trophies and without animation slowdown on vita or ps4 for $30-$40. That's the kind of idiot I am. But I'm not touching ffvii with a ten foot pole at any price. So fucking stupid.

How much work would cleaning up FF7 really take? Would anyone really expect them to remake the game to look like FF13? Why couldn't they just keep the same aesthetic and art style of the original while updating those visuals to a standard that's at least reasonably close to today's benchmark?

SE wouldn't have to worry about making characters look hyper realistic for the majority of the game's assets, outside of combat and FMV. They don't need to add voice acting, either.

FF8 would be a bigger pain to remake, really.

Daycare is crazy expensive. 185 a week where we are at now, but want to move to Primrose when a little older since the teaching part will be better there. Its in that 250/week range.

Pitched REALLY hard to the wife to be a stay at home dad. Didnt bite. Said I would just play videogames all day. Well...duh....

I talked to him the other day. Said "he's no longer visiting". Surprising! I asked why but he didn't say so I left it alone. Hopefully he changes his mind, but he's on PSN and Steam (same handle) if you want to hit him up.

Congrats, man. Seriously, that's a huge accomplishment. Maybe use that extra income to buy a PS4 now?!

Like old folks pissing I guess it all depends, ohhh." - Story of my life. :-({|=

 
You guys with these huge childcare costs have checked to see if you have an option for a dependent care flexible spending account through your job I hope.  Just like a medical fsa plan, it would allow you some tax relief for what you are spending on day care costs.  I have no idea if it is wide spread, but I know the places I have worked have always had it as an option.

All over that. You can only claim $5000, which is not even half the years worth of expense. Better than nothing, though.

Would she open to alternatives?

I pitched that it would be better for me to stay home during day and work a part time during the evening once hubby gets home. That it would either be the same as paying someone or cheaper. Mine went for it

Doing that this year. Only issue is cap is like 5k so cant get a tax benefit for the full cost of childcare, but better than nothing.

9620 is what it cost a year for us.

 
I hoped that with Mirror's Edge being free on PSN over the weekend, the TT score would go up from lots of people starting it then losing interest, but it doesn't look like anything's changed. I guess most people already played it or downloaded it without starting it yet.
