I didn't realize this hits 2/23. Seems like it's pretty short notice from when it was announced but maybe I haven't been paying attention.

Launch ds4 not a single issue, blue ds4, not a single issue.

Again, you people need to take better care of your shit.

Okay but dont be mad that they charge them. Not their fault there are people willing to pay that. It isnt your right to go to a concert or see a show.

Sorry, just being argumentative.
I get it, I don't understand why they don't just charge more though then add fees. It's not even the fees that really bother me as much though. It's the amount of tickets that get hoarded even prior to the public sale. Everyone should have a fair shot at a regular price admission (whatever that actually is).

I never had a DS4 issue either. Someone somewhere mentioned or had a theory it could be how people hold their controllers that would or wouldn't cause the rubber tearing. My sticks are fine...I might also play less PS4 (wish I could play more). Lol.

Ticket price and sale goes to the performer or the production company putting on the show, the fees are the cost of purchasing the ticket from ticketmaster, the fee doesnt have much to do with the ticket cost. The fee is the cost of the convenience of buying the ticket online through ticketmaster.

They add the fees after the fact so the promoters can say a ticket costs X when it really costs Y. Its all a marketing ploy. They know that people will get excited to go and not even pay attention (or just say fuck it) to the fees added to the cost.

Maybe it's just where I live, but entry to just about anything feels really expensive now. If we want to go to a museum or the aquarium or something it's usually $60-$70 for our whole crew (yeah yeah don't have so many kids) which is pretty hard to swallow. But you're right, people pay it anyways and I don't have a right to do anything and yadda yadda yadda. maybe it was just as expensive 10 years ago and I didn't notice when I didn't have a small army to take with me.

Fortunately the nelson art museum has a big free shindig going on Sunday for the Chinese new year where we can go see yoyo tricks and dancing and whatnot.

edit - and I'm sure it costs twice as much everywhere else in the US by the by

Unless you can catch people at smaller venues, you're generally going to overpay for concerts, IMO.  But I just chalk that up to the cost of entertainment.  Best bang for your buck music wise are festivals if you can get to the ones that cater to your music tastes.  

And yeah, fuck ticketmaster (and all of the ticket places with their crazy fees). 

 
My damn indiebox needs to ship already! I wanna play some Nuclear Throne!
It's real good, but man they need to release that patch already. I made it to the throne the other day and died, then the game crashed back to the PS4 menu. Didn't unlock the character I was supposed to get for making it there (it sounds like a good one, too).

It's still not out? Jesus. I remember a few of you complaining that it wasn't out yet at the beginning of the month.

(It is developed by the same company that never even bothered to patch Luftrausers)

Seriously. Why does Ticketmaster get to charge $15 just because they feel like it? Such a scam. I guess there was some class-action type thing related to that a few years ago. My dad, who literally goes to a few dozen shows every year, got an email that he was entitled to 2 or 3 free tickets or something because of it (they still are charging crazy fees, but maybe it's a little less now?).

Congrats on making it o the Nuclear Throne. I haven't even gotten close. I can kill Big Dog sometimes, but I don't get a lot farther then that yet. I'm mostly playing on Vita, though, so that mega-slowdown sometimes is what kills me. I should play more on PS4. Yes.

The Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg is around $20 a person. It's still worth it, though.

I remember one time Subway had a promo for $5 tickets to Cruefest 2, but they were $17+ once Ticketmaster added their fees.

They've submitted it several times. It's gotten rejected at least once. As far as I know they haven't said the most recent submission was rejected, so we are waiting for Sony to approve it.

 
It looks like automatic uploading on PS3 is finally working again. On the notifications screen, there were uploads for games I haven't played in 2 weeks, so I guess it backlogged them rather than just skipping them.

 
The lack of Nuclear Throne patch is annoying. Ended up just putting it on the backburner until the patch releases. Fun game, but the slowdown and accidental exits to the menu were getting annoying.

Thanks. I had a real good load out when I made it. I've played exclusively on PS4 so far. I imagine it would be a lot trickier on Vita. I have noticed since I made it that the game seems much harder. Like they throw waaay more enemies at me than they used to. It's still doable, but I wonder if this is glitch-related too. Like I read once you beat the game and "loop" (to loop you have to
destroy the 4 generators that are there during the nuclear throne fight
) that you start over with a higher difficulty. I'm not sure if I somehow triggered that to happen all the time?

 
Its great because they'll probably be front and center on your PSN Profiles page forever because they're so fucking rare.
As well they should. It took a lot of hard work to get all those trophies!

I really do have some dumb trophies as my "best" (aka rarest or highest TT value). All the Secret Ponchos ones, the grind of the Hardware Rivals plat, the multiple days of rubber banding for 100k kills in Helldivers, the bugfest that was the Zombie Vikings plat...

 
Jak II is kind of a real dick about not having checkpoints in the missions. Even if it saves your progress in the mission, it still makes you start at the beginning if you die.

That was my top complaint about the game. Some missions can be super long too and if you die at the end, you just do it all over again.

I especially loved the ones where you had a time limit to get from point A to point B in a vehicle that if you looked at it funny would blow up. Add in the shitty driving controls and it was frustrating as all hell.

There is a reason when I got the Vita collection that I replayed 1 and 3 but skipped 2. fuck that game!

 
yes I am adding one to the if statement. I had to do that because I am trying to process monetary transactions to a whole dollar and my original data has cents in it. These transactions can't include cents. Also you will see I have both sums multiplied by -1 in order to have the right sign on my transaction. One result is a debit and the other a credit to a clients account. I am having another guy in the office who is much better than I am rewrite it to be more efficient. However what I did got the job done. I never used if statements before and did all that just using Google as a guide and testing and retesting my formulas.
Why not just program it to take the cents portion of every transaction and send it to your bank account? Like Superman 3.
 
I signed up for that Division beta. Why not? Well, I hate having Beta's in my library, but maybe this will be worth it. Hopefully they send out the codes early so we can download ahead of time.

EDIT: and just got an email with the download code. Queued it up and it's downloading....

yep same here. launch ds4 and the rubber on both sticks is tore apart and the r1 button was sticky til i popped it out, cleaned it up and reput it in. they don't make things like they used to. my newer blue and red ds4s are staying well maintained at least for now
Same for me. I bought a new PS4 Last of Us Bundle and a red and a blue controller. I use the red and blue all the time and their buttons all work properly. I did put KontrolFreaks covers on the the analog sticks though. Don't really use the black one much. Sometimes with my Playstation TV.

Yeah I ended up playing hot potato with vehicles. As soon as one got damaged at all I'd hijack a different one. Of course in the timed missions that could sometimes be problematic. Sometimes it just came down to being lucky.

Just make a second account for the sole purpose of downloading demos and betas. Problem solved.

Only reason I'm getting The Division is because of the $15 BB rewards promo. Hopefully the game is decent enough to get me to Uncharted 4.
 
Yeah, it's a pretty good one. I've not been to many, but I'd put it at #2 of those I've seen. #1 would be in Chicago, though that was 20 years ago so my memory may be off.
I wanted to go to the one in Atlanta when I was down there a couple years ago, but we didn't have time. I've heard it's a pretty good one.

 
All this Jak talk makes me want to fire up Jak 1.  That was one of the few games a did everything on back when I had a PS2.  But now tropheeeeez.  I have to many games in mid-form though so I'll try to be patient, but probably will cave.
