I'm holding out for bluetooth headset support for the PS4 so I can go wireless with both the PS4 and Vita.

fucking Sony. Money grubbing bastards.

I should have used a more general "a cloud" instead of "the cloud" since there isn't a Nintendo one. Just comparing it to PS+ save upload capability.

You are going to be holding out for a really long time then. The PS4 only supports bluetooth for controllers. Supposedly only allows 4 bluetooth devices at any one time. Unless that is just a firmware limitation, you can not get there from here.

I'll buy you a whole Dr Pepper when you're here because I treat my ladies real nice.

And ask cleaner for food recommendations, not the guy who used to live 15 minutes outside the city.

Actually, fuck you, you're already down to half a Dr Pepper with some backwash in it, jerk.

Is half a DP just as good as a whole one?

 
I never turn my PS4 off during the day, but today I had a huge chunk of work to do and knew I wouldn't be doing anything on it, so I shut it off. Now I go to sign back in and I can't connect to PSN because of the stupid fucking maintenance that I forgot about. I'm packing this shit up and trading it in for an Xbone.

At least I did all my Iron Banner bounties and won five games today. Three days in a row for getting all six bounties done. You can win 0 games, and just do all the bounties every day with full buffs and get to rank 4 and get those sweet 32 gauntlets. Then that's 21 fewer radiant shards you need to get to level 32.

I need a translator.

 
The mobile version of CAG lets you like posts, but doesn't show likes. I guess I'll use it, though because Tapatalk seems to keep working worse with CAG.

Yeah, you can upload save data for most titles via the data app on the 3DS. I used it when I upgraded from a launch 3DS to an XL. Worked perfectly, besides being time consuming tapping upload and download for all the games (though there's really no way around that.) I think it worked for both cart games and eShop games.

That only works for downloaded games, though.

You can also transfer from a physical game save to a digital game but there doesn't appear to be a way to use that as a backup.

Tyler, when you get out here, you should take a drive to around me. There's a place down the road, a little local sub shop called Subway that makes delicious sandwiches. The best part is that no matter what kind of meat you get, it all tastes like turkey!

Oh yeah, you're right. Just checked the support page and it doesn't work on carts. Turns out it just backs it up to your SD card instead of the cloud anyway. So turns out the only cloud is their Latiku guarded money cloud. Makes sense.

I heard there is a local place called Godfather's pizza nearby there too. Sounds like a good lunch and dinner combo for him.

I'm not gonna have access to a vehicle I don't think. But I may go out of pocket to rent a car for a day just to check out this "Subway" place. Sounds amazing.

Actually I may actually stay in Boston for a few days after the conference and possibly get a car then. So I'm all in to finally check out this mythical "Subway"!

Gator, the best local pizza place is clearly Little Caesars. They have a great pretzel pizza that is to die for.

Bioshock Infinite was actually the 2nd highest nominated game in that category, behind Velocity 2X.  I was surprised to see it won by several votes, and V2X was just in the middle of the pack with everything else.

This one we're running now ended up being my least favorite category.  We'll see how it plays out.

Why do you consider that lazy?

Because it seems like they just went for quantity over quality and went for as many trophies as possible. Pix the Cat has a nearly perfect trophy list in terms of that quantity/quality balance with at least one of each type.

Then again, this might be another instance where the complex nature of trophy logic comes into play and there's more to it than that.

I guess I don't know what kind of scale your using to compare one trophy set with the other. This game has more trophies (so technically shouldn't that be less lazy?) but besides that I don't see the differences between the two, I'm sure they have the same amount of trophy points.

Maybe you just don't like bronze or prefer games that go with abbreviated trophy lists that have less bronze and more silvers and golds.

As always tyler is right. Games like octodad and contrast did a good job with their all bronze trophy lists. If it's a fun list I don't care what color the trophies are.

Yeah, maybe. I know they have the same amount of trophy points, though.

 
Zimm - titan attacks worst ps+ goty? i thought we were brothers, but idk. how can you hate space invaders/clones? how can that many people here have nominated it, and metrico didn't make it? am i in the weekly deals thread right now?

Don't be jealous! I did my research before going. There's this sweet pizza place called Pizza Hut that sells these calzones there. I just know he'll love them!

(Eff you Gator for ruining my joke!)

Well, half of a double is a whole. You tell me.
 
also, anyone that doesn't like pinball is a communist. Anyone up for a side tourney? We could pick one pinball arcade table and one zen table and do cumulative or weighted score to make it as obscenely complicated as possible. I have an ultra street fighter 4 voucher that no one would want that I could throw in as a prize.

Edit - crunchewy gets an immediate -100m handicap to his total score no matter what tables we play. I'll take one too.

What the fuck is wrong with Metrico?

I don't know. It was short. Not really original. Just kinda bleh. At least Proteus tried something different with its "explore this weird place over multiple seasons thing, even if it did get a little boring too. Only other one on the list I played was Spelunky, which I don't love, but it's better than Titan.

 
Well I have 35 minutes to burn at the doctor's office so time to pull out the Vita.

Apparently my ultrasound results were "abnormal" so we'll see whatever that means. I've played phone tag with the ultrasound lady for over a month so I never got details beyond her vague ass message. Dumb ovaries.

Edit: I missed the easy "You felt me up and I never got a phone call" joke.

Also, obviously I'm not pregnant.

I like PSN games that have all bronze trophies because I like that sweet "popping" sound.  The more (and faster) the better.

Although I do then tend to miss Gold and Silver.  Cause I like other colors besides "brown".  #racist

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME TRYING TO POST THIS DUMBASS COMMENT.  fuck YOU CAG!

I've played 3-4 Mario Karts. The first ones (SNES) had the best battle mode IMO. The other ones I tried just didn't measure up. Though that could easily be due to nostalgia.

SASRT is by far the best kart game I've played. Blew all the MK's I've played out of the water.

Better than Diddy Kong Racing? C'mon son.

Choices? You mean I get to choose between 4 different 3DS models, 3 of which are now outdated and might not be able to play a game I want in the future?

It's maddening that "journalists" just regurgitate all the BS that is fed to them by company/political/whatever reps. Probably only a handful of actual journalists left in the world.

There was a CAGcast a long time ago where Wombat was actually talking about the same thing. The need for real active journalists who would get behind some of the weird ass stuff that goes on in the gaming industry. I guess hard hitting journalism isn't needed for a hobby but I wish someone would really get into Nintendo's grill (and other companies) and ask the questions everyone wants to know the answers to. I guess they would just offer up PR drivel anyway though.

Pretty sure you guys are putting more thought into the trophy lists than the developers.

I was watching last week's episode of The Middle last night, and Kirstie Alley was on there. Her character on there won the fucking million dollars on Wheel. What's funny is that show is based on a town literally 25 minutes down the road from me. Bitches.

Supernatural's pilot opens in the city I was born in, that could have been my crib Yellow Eyes visited that fateful night, it was even the right year.

Good luck. My wife went through something similar recently. I am sure you will get good results like she did.

That was basically what the Giant Bomb crew said a month back or so. They said any hard hitting questions would always receive no answers and essentially a wastebof time. So they eventually knew what was worth asking to receive responses.

But come on...you would think someone would have the balls to push just a little bit.

People might be afraid to lose all the free Nintendo swag and press passes, so they settle for their vanilla answers. But like you said, they're never going to answer anything hard hitting or controversial unless they've had too much to drink.

i'll let this one slide, cause you're my boy. i'll give you spelunky too, even though i played maybe 10 rounds outside of the trophy competition.

I agree, I guess it goes back to that fine line of getting early coverage, reviews, advertising, etc. etc. that plaques most of these people. It would have to be a group of people that didn't give a crap and where it didn't affect their livelihood. It seems to me though that if everyone just did it all the time the pressure would change things over time. Push push push push....
