fuck these invasion timed levels in Rayman Legends right in the nostril. Especially the second one in the first world.

Just keep doing those daily challenges and eventually those invasion levels won't be a big deal at all. The ones with dark rayman still kinda suck I guess.

I finished the rest of the trophies in rayman origins tonight except those stupid relics. I'll have to use a guide for that junk and even then it'll probably be time consuming. It'll be nice to finally finish it three years after I started it.

Of course I get it right after reading this by less than a second. Still though.
 
Was going to use the $5 kongregate on black flag, but I think I'll use it on wasteland instead. I'm only about 50000 hours deep in RPG backlog. Could use another
 
First part of WL2 is spending a half hour creating 4 characters and trying to figure out what genders and skills and character attributes and everything to go with. 

I also fired up AC: Chronicles China and ran through the first couple of missions. It's okay. I disagree on it being ugly, don't recall who said that a few days back. It looks fine, but not as well-designed as Mark of the Ninja. It also doesn't have a story at all and the gameplay isn't as good as that game. Movement in AC:C feels kinda sluggish to me and the map design so far just doesn't seem near as interesting. It's okay for a few bucks but I don't think it's worth more (as far as I've played.)

 
I don't think I've had nearly as many problems with JC3 as I was expecting. No crashes, load times haven't been too awful, and the only real glitch has been that one trophy. Really enjoying the game so far, haven't played a "blow everything up for no reason" type game in a long time. It might be that I'm just not noticing the load times as much though, as I tend to play while internetting and watching the dog so I have other things to pay attention to. 

 
If anyone sent me a challenge in Just Cause 3 recently, could you send it again? I didn't see anything when I played it for a few minutes earlier this weekend (I suspect this might be the "one trophy" Sage is referring to as the glitchy one).

 
Did anyone still want the FFXIII: Lightning Returns steelbook I picked up from Target two weeks ago? I think Feeding the Abscess said he might want it if his Target didn't have any, but I don't think he ever posted whether he found one.

I totally spaced on posting about not finding one. Shoot me your paypal info in a PM and we can go from there.

No joke, I thought this trailer looked better than the one for X-Men: Apocalypse.

I liked this trailer a little more than I was expecting, but it might have something to do with the Xcom 2 fever I'm beginning to catch. Can't wait for that game to release! I rarely purchase games on Mac/PC but thats a day one if there ever was one.

That being said, I too thought the Xmen trailer was awful. Worse than the new Batman VS Supes one with (sigh) Doomsday.

At least Civil War looks absolutely incredible.

I'll try to send you a couple before I leave for work. If not I'll get them out when I get home tonight.

*if the game lets me anyway

 
So after using my DS4 for a while I think I may have ran into a problem that I think was mentioned here before. My left analog stick has become slick and my thumb keeps sliding off. Any tips to bring some tackiness back to it? I wish I still had the old gorilla gold towel around that I used when I played baseball, that surely would've done the trick.

WL2's text is jut too small to be enjoyable via remote play IMO.

Oddly enough I'm having the reverse experience with RP compared to you guys. 1000 works great for me over direct connection and 2000 is shit.
Click to expand...
FYI, I don't use direct connection. It works great with my 2000 via my wireless access point. You can also connect over the internet, then, but that didn't work so hot when I tried it.

 
Backlog: buy some GelTabz or however they're spelled. They're like $6 for two sets and they're fantastic.

It didn't work well for me on my 2000 either way. My PS4 is on wifi, though, and it and the Vita are on the opposite side of the house from the access point.

Me and jimbo use these, we both really like them

http://www.kontrolfreek.com/

I use these specifally:

http://www.kontrolfreek.com/thumbsticks/futbol-freek.html/

Had them for well over a year, very little if any wear on them and still provide great stickiness. They have other lower profile ones too, cant vouch for those but I really enjoy the ones I have. They are specifically marketed for soccer games, but I use them to play everything and they work great for me on any game.

http://www.kontrolfreek.com/thumbsticks/fps-freek-alpha.html/

These look pretty good, very low profile and the dots should provide really good grip.

They sell them on amazon too fyi

Hmm, I like that the kontrolfreek alpha creates a concave surface, but the geltabz being only $5.99 give them the edge for me. Plus simmias recommended them and he 100% everything so they'll obviously make me better at games. Sold.

I have 2 sets of the cqc and one set of the alpha. On two controllers I put the alphas on the left stick and the cqc on the right. I was occasionally hitting the left stick trying to use the D-pad.

A friend of mine bought the COD green ones are Gamestop after the rubber ripped on one of his DS4. He complained they kept coming off. Got them swapped out and same thing. I guess the amount of missing rubber caused it not to seat well. He waded up a small amount of paper and put that on first. He too likes them.

The rubber does NOT peel or wear. They sell convex (like the DS3 has) and concave options of various heights.

Other than mine being white and looking a little dirty, they have not worn at all I think. Mine have the soccer ball look and it is as distinct looking now as when I bought them.

I think for the money and the quality, kontrol freek is the way to go.

Cant beat backlog logic though about geltabz will make him better since simmias uses those.

$9.99 for the CQC at Gamestop (looks to be a sale price). Ugly green though?

Rant time:

If other states can figure out how to shut down during nasty snow storms, Utah needs to figure this out too. It's not snowing hard right now, but it's been snowing lightly all night and we have about 3 inches accumulated. The streets are frozen and a slippery mess. Plows can take off the top layer of snow but they can't get the slush which gets into the tire treads and makes breaking 100x harder to do. Major roads are backed up for miles. There's going to be hundreds of wrecks and more than a few fatalities, no doubt.

Not sure why we're forced to drive in this. Most places in Utah wait until we're almost at natural disaster blizzard conditions before considering shutting down. It's fucking ridiculous.

How often does Utah have issues with snow? The places I've lived that got it all the time knew exactly what to do. Places that have those issues rarely usually just made a mess of things.

On the alphas? Possibly. They have many different kinds with different designs for the top. Some are convex even.

I have been using the alphas on the left stick of my main two DS4 controllers for almost 2 months now. Never noticed the dots hurting my thumbs nor any indentation or anything. The naked analog sticks aren't exactly without texture either.

In fairness, aren't the places that shut down during snow storms all warm weather places that rarely get snow, like Dallas or Atlanta and places like that?

Sounds like SLC needs to be more pro-active and treat the roads early. I know here at least, they get out ahead of the storm and treat the roads to help with the ice issue, then plows go all the time till roads are cleared. Granted it usually takes about 24 hours after a storm starts for them to get to my street, but I live on a street that doesn't get much traffic so we're not really a priority.

We just have cold rain today, might turn to snow later. I'd prefer it just stay rain. fuck snow.

Same here in NY. I blew though some personal days this year. Not worth wrecking my car if the roads are bad. I have also gotten almost stuck a few times and a couple of 2 hour commutes (normally 40 mins). This is the second year in 9 I used all my PTO time up. The other time I was out on disability for a few weeks.

We have 3-5 terrible commute mornings per season.

I mean, there's no way to just make all the roads magically clear. Even with light snow, it takes like 20 minutes after a plow goes over a street before its covered again. Salt Lake has a pretty good system in place but it's impossible to just make all the roads clear by 8am for the morning commutes.

Yeah they get started early. They're as proactive as possible. Like I said, while it's snowing and since it's like 25 outside, it's impossible to clear off the streets and keep them clean and dry throughout the entire valley. Like Jimbo said commute times more than double and there's tons of wrecks. Places just need to have protocols in place to keep their employees informed of when they're closing for snow and when they'll open back up.

To me it's not worth the risks involved to travel when it's so bad outside.

What is your colleges policy? Around here they seem to close or delay most openings if the weather is bad.

Our company pretty much NEVER closes and and occasionally will close early. But you are allowed to use own discretion. Luckily my manager is very reasonable when it comes to this. Never get any flack for taking a Personal day. I also will do a few things from home if she needs me to. Other managers might not be a 'fair' though.

 
I love snow. But right now I'm wearing a t-shirt. They say we're going to get a lot of snow this winter due to el nino or one of those things, but right now it feels like all we'll get is rain around here. Where I live they give us time off/days off for snow. So, no I don't say fuck snow, but I do say fuck work.

The college never fucking closes. It's ridiculous.

Being a call center, I can't have people use personal days. People are still going to call (and actually at higher volumes due to the weather) and I need people here to answer those calls. I can't shut down the phones unless the school shuts down. Perhaps because we're so front-facing customer support that my view is skewed. Most people's jobs can be put aside for the day and picked up at a later date, but we can't just answer all these calls coming in tomorrow.

The St. Paul & Minneapolis school districts rarely call off school. It's kinda ridiculous. Granted we live less than a mile from my kid's school, but I worry about all the other kids that aren't so lucky. Ditto with the colleges. Class is something that can be put off to decongest the roads, but people in charge of such things seem to think we should all be Minnesota tough cause snow is in our blood and yadda yadda yadda.

And business don't do a good job of it either. I'm lucky enough that if we know a big storm is coming, our boss's will tell us to work from home the next day so we all take our lappys home.
