I know Crackdown 3 is pre-alpha but looks like butt. I think Crackdown (The Original) was a lighting in a bottle moment, not sure they can recreate the magic.

There is a year one emblem you can get for doing a bunch of different things, beating all 3 raids on hard (well the top level in the new deal, not really a raid) winning a bunch of mp matches, etc. I just need to beat skolas which is the hardest level on the new arena stuff.

Bullshit thing is anyone can get it, not just people playing since day one, just have to have it completed by the end of august I think.

I had done everything already when they announced minus a few golden chests and beating prison of elders on hard (aka skolas)

Yeah ok. Not going to screw around with the Raids again for some emblem. I think I am only level 31 anyway as well. Good luck finishing up the requirements though.

 
Is all the MS talk done yet daddy?

Has anybody seen Spirited Away? It's kind of bizarre, and very good. Watched it with our kids last night. I was half expecting them to think it was too weird, but they liked it.

You guys ever go through periods of time where nothing sounds good when you're looking for something to do? Literally every game, movie, show, book... it doesn't matter what it is, nothing interests me in the slightest. It usually hits me for about a week every so often and it drives me crazy... a lot of times I use it as an opportunity to get chores done that I've been putting off, because if nothing is going to be fun then why not?

This happens to me on occasion. Usually it is lined up with a new release I know I'm getting. So say it's Friday night and I've just beaten a game and there's a big new release coming Tuesday that I'll be getting, I'll just lament on what to play and end up playing nothing all weekend.

 
So I enjoyed the highlights I saw from the MS conference. Scalebound is different than what I thought but I think it could still be good. Quantum Break looks like it could be cool. I wasn't impressed with the Crackdown stuff but I think it's a 2017 game. I still giggle at that "cloud based processing" stuff though. Maybe they'll prove me wrong but I doubt it.

But overall I thought it was good. To me MS is killing Sony on big time exclusives. Not something I would have thought I'd ever say 3 years ago.

 
One of my kids bought Cobalt a while back and doesn't seem to play it much. It's no Minecraft. I haven't tried it, though.

Heading to Freebirds for lunch.  Buy an entree today, get a free burrito this weekend.  Something to do with tax free weekend here in Texas.

I've seen a handful of Ghibli's movies, but not that one. Castle in the Sky and Princess Mononoke were both good. Grave of the Fireflies was depressing as shit. Ponyo was dreadfully dull. I don't really remember Porco Rosso. Other than Spirited Away, does anybody like any of the other Ghibli movies?

The wife wants to watch Howl's Moving Castle. I'm curious about Tales from Earthsea but don't know which of the others are worth checking out.

the main thing I took away from crackdown is the claim of a '100% destructible environment'. I'll admit I'm curious if you can really raze the entire playable game area to make a flat, rubble-filled wasteland. I never played the other games so I don't know if that's like a thing for them or what, but it's a fun claim if they can actually make good.

scalebound is definitely different than what I thought and the dialog was pretty awful (and not in a fun devil may cry/bayonetta way) but I want it to turn out awesome because platinum so I'll still follow it.

adding the battletoad to killer instinct was a winner for me, that game keeps getting better and better. I look forward to one day buying it for my laptop and never being able to actually run it.

 
Damn work made me miss the MS conference. I'm definitely going to have to look up the videos for Quantum Break, Crackdown, and Scalebound. 

What game should I boot up first on Rare Replay tonight? I'm leaning Conker. I only played that one for a bit back on N64. I'm sure it has aged terribly. Banjo Kazooie is amazing, but I've played that on 360 not all that long ago.

I liked Howl's Moving Castle, but I also really enjoyed the book for it. I don't think I've seen any of the other Ghibli movies though.

I thought Grave of the Fireflies was really good, but it is definitely a one-timer. Actually I didn't realize it was the director of that movie that did Spirited Away. #Didn'tDoMyHomework

My understanding is that at least the Y axis is permanently inverted in Conker. Possibly the X axis as well. So you may run into issues there.

What jkam said: Most likely.

did they take away the 'pay me now' option? I was going to swap out my vita but I don't have enough credit to purchase the whole thing without trading mine in.

I never used that option so I honestly couldn't tell you. Vig?

Even if that option was still available for trade-ins (it looks like it really is gone), NEVER PICK IT--practically every single CAG who has chosen that option in the past has been screwed over in one way or another and it's easier/safer/better to just wait for the credit. Sorry, Mild.

Here's the Dark Souls 3 trailer again, from Bandai Namco this time, not rips from the stream.

Strangely it has a link in the video to preorder but there is no preorder up currently.

I did that pay me now thing once and it went OK, but I was nervous until it did work out OK, so I wasn't planning to ever use it again. No loss.

 
I love when idiots on the Internet say stupid shit. One person said M$ is getting future Dark Souls games exclusive since Sony has Bloodborne.
 
I'll come back when the microsoft talk is over. Just in time for the exciting "what games should I get from the PSN sale?" chat.

 
Yeah I used the pay me now thing a couple times too without problems but always dissuaded other people from using it. It doesn't matter anyhow since I don't have an 8gb card to trade with my old bundle and someone predictably swiped the dinger. It was solid though - $118 tiv for the bl2 bundle and the dinger was $140. I have a janky left stick so that would've been a good swap for me. If only I'd had trillions in gs credit to convert!

Quantum Break and Tomb Raider looked great, all the others meh. If this is all MS has to offer I'll be 100% fine sticking with just a PS4 this gen.

We were all set for Taco Tuesday tonight, until I informed the wife I would be working late. For some reason, she has a strange aversion to cooking what we had planned for dinner if I'm not going to be home at or before normal dinner time. That was an arguement I realized I couldn't win a long time ago. Oh well, Taco Wednesday it is.

Not the same director, same studio (studio ghibli).

Spirited Away is super good.  I actually saw that in the theaters way back when it came out in America.  I'm glad it's finally out on blu-ray.  I've been collecting the Studio Ghibli blus as they've come out and have maybe 15 of them along with that Lupin The Third movie that Miyazaki directed.
