PSNOT 3.0 - Let's Talk About University of Kentucky, Baby!

How's your transmission doing?

I'd lean towards it being alternator or transmission if only because your problem sounds similar to the one I had 2 years ago when it was like -20 for two weeks here. I can't remember which one died on me after warming up, driving fine for a while, making weird noises, and then barely making it to a parking spot afterwards though.
No idea how transmission is doing. Or how to tell.

Zimm: This one is a bit of a reach, but have you tried checking the air in your tires? Also be sure to double-check your wiper fluid levels.
Front drivers tire is a bit low due to the cold (and seems to slowly leak a bit over a few weeks time), but others are fine. And wiper fluid levels are fine. All fluids should be fine since I just got an oil change a little over a month ago.

 
Yeah, that would explain it.
Since I had the prime savings already they just reduced the price of the item in my order by $8 to make it work, so if you don't have any prime savings on your order it should be really easy for them to correct yours. Game + Watch for $22 before tax.

Get a bottle of that isoheat stuff to put in the gas tank. It should help take care of anything that may have frozen up in the tank/fuel lines in case that's part of the problem. It's super cheap, under $2 and is a necessity in the WI winters.
 
Hadn't realized that gravity rush remastered never went up on best buy. Gonna cancel/reorder for the 20% off then. Any other games that are amazon only of note right now?

 
have any of you guys actually played psychonauts? I got it during a steam sale way back and tried it and thought it was pretty unfun but I definitely may not have given it a fair shake. it has a lot of community love it seems but that doesn't always mean a game is good.
I tried psychonauts not too long after it came out. I also hated it. Boring and shitty camera if I remember right. I played an hour and sold it back or traded it in or something.
Psychonauts is easily in my top 5 games of all time. It does start out a little on the slow\bland side but after a little while you basically enter a rabbit hole and the game takes off from there. Think about when you were a kid and the crazy imagination you had and wrap it up into a game. It isn't without issues (sometimes camera) and the last level is a piece of bloody dogshit but if there is 1 single game I could say you should really give a serious shot it's Psychonauts. It's a fuck ing masterpiece.

Amazon lists GRR as exclusive to them, so Best Buy likely won't be getting it.

Gonna get that in the car while I'm at work to try and see. Hopefully that's all it is.

Thanks for all the car advice y'all. Didn't mean to bog down the thread. I really appreciate it.

Looks like they have a version that is also injector cleaner. I would definitely see if that helped out with the problems.

 
I picked up the Uncharted 4 Special Edition with the 20% off at Amazon for prime members last night. I hope this sticks around since I have a lot of Amazon credit and none at BB. Thanks again overpriced XBOX360 trade in. No $$$ out of pocket :)

Looks like most of the Lego Dimensions level packs are included in that 20% Amazon deal, including the Ghostbusters one that comes out next week, making them $22.49 each.  For some reason the default price on the Portal one is $42, even though you can get the 20% off price by going into the other ways to buy thing.  And the Midway Arcade one isn't part of it for some reason.  That one comes out in March.

 
This is nice, I guess, if you or someone you know is an old-school Pokemon fan:

Thoughts on BL Handsome Collection? Looks like it had framerate issues at launch, did those get resolved? I've still got a $50 GC for Walmart that I got for Christmas, considering grabbing that with it since they've got it used for $25.

Plat looks like a pain on BL2, though, with the need to level 2 of the characters up to 30/25 or so. They're not even the characters I'd want to play. :wall:
Me and jimbob can help with it, I still have it installed, its really a great buy and deal.

You dont have to level the sniper guy, zero, that high. just need level 5 and you can do a glitch in coop using a ride to make it pop, thats what I did.

The gunzerker is the only one you have to level into the 20s to get their trophy, the gunzerker is actually pretty fun to use too.

 
I'd also be willing to help out with BL2 Therm. I've got it installed and never bothered finishing up the plat. I've also got to get to playing the presequel one of these days. Fun game.

Me too, need to go back to pre sequel since jimbob ran off and left me on it. I tried to do bl2 and it back to back and that was a mistake, was burned out by the time I got to the pre sequel.

The only other trophy that is dumb on BL2 is the michael one, random guy who spawns in new haven (or whatever the main area is called), i only got it cause jimbob found him and invited me to his game so I could get it too.

The challenge trophy on bl2 is pretty grindy at the end too if you dont pay attention to the stuff on it before you get to the end of the game, grinding shotgun kills and rocket kills mainly, not that bad though, there is a good area in this cave spot that has a lot of little creatures that spawn that you can one kill shotgun kill, just have to keep reloading the area and running through it a bunch of times.

Jimbob has some necklace thing as well for the tiny tina DLC, he can give it to you to wear and it'll pop a trophy thats a pain to get otherwise I think.

Ok so for real, in dante inferno, there is an enemy that has a tentacle come out of its vagina.

Creepy as fuck.

Oh and medusa with the mouth nipples on her boobies was nasty too.

 
Im actually suprised that the graphics are not terrible on it, they hold up fairly well honestly to me.

The CGI cut scenes aint bad either. 

It really is a poor mans gow, there have been some really annoying platforming things so far, mainly one to get to a collectible that took me like 15 mins prolly to get right finally, but overall its not been too bad so far.

Yeah, I had to take a break after I finished the main story on BL2. I was working on most of the trophies while playing it so I kind of hit a wall by the time I ended up finishing it. I got stuck on the 5th round on one of the circle of slaughter arenas solo and didn't want to bother anymore.

I got the michael trophy pretty easy, he was just hanging around the main circle in sanctuary one of the first times you unlock it.

You got lucky then, some times he wont show up hardly.

I can help on that trophy, its the one for beating any circle right? Cant remember if there is more than 1 tied to those.

Was it the one where you're swinging on the vine thingy? That one sucked ass.

 
Car is a 2004 Chevy Aveo with about 125K or so on it. It started up just fine (besides the regular cold weather moaning) and like I said earlier, drove just fine until just before the end of my trip, so everything should have warmed up by then.

I can't remember when I last bought a battery, but I wouldn't think it was that since its started up fine? Doesn't the alternator provide the power after the car starts and the battery is only for starting?

Full disclosure: I know next to nothing about cars besides how to kinda sorta change my front brakes and add required liquids in their designated receptacles.
Yes, the battery just starts the car up. The alternator is one of the things that keeps it going. I wouldn't say it's the alternator because if it was normally power from the car would have gone right when it does. The fact that you have to keep giving the car has made me think it's something with the fuel line.

No seriously....serious business.

Pst.org says that was patched in 1.03, IIRC. No idea if that mention is specific to the PS3 or PS4 version, though. A lot of those guides are written for the original system then copy/pasted to other platforms.

One with the gears, gotta double jump to this one gear which is pretty hard to get right, then you gotta do this weird jump around a spot and manage to grip the edge of the platform.

fucking awful.

jimbob is going to break a controller on that part.

nah, i've got the circle one. i think it counts for the all side missions trophy too, unless i'm mistaken

 
Costume Quest 1&2 were great. Finished both. 

EDIT: I could see the repetitive nature of it for sure, but I like the story and the games are pretty short overall.

Darn it, I caved and preordered Gravity Rush Remastered. If it really is exclusive to Amazon, they likely (hopefully) won't discount it for quite some time. At least there was No-Rush Shipping for another $1 credit towards PSN spacebucks later on.

Well maybe we're thinking about the same one. It's been a while but all I can remember is it was near impossible to get the jump timing right.
