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

1. Buy your ticket in a state that doesn't require you to come forward.

"The best thing a person can do is buy a ticket in one of the six states that don't require you to come forward," Marty King, partner with law firm Gorman & Williams in Maryland, told TODAY. "That means you won't have to go to the press conference with the big oversized check and show your face." Those states are Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota, Ohio and South Carolina. If you live near one of these states, King recommends crossing the border to buy your ticket because the rules apply depending on where you buy it, not where you live.
Oh! In that case I'll definitely take the $1.5 billion!

Lastly, this would be me if I had just a million or so in the bank.  I wouldnt worry about being fired though.  I would do just enough to keep the health insurance and not be hassled. 

God damn I love Office Space.

Definitely the same 1 & 2 slots for me. I've thought about doing a top 10 list myself, but I still haven't gotten around to figuring out what the other 8 games would be lol

 
I still need to get to Axiom Verge, Super Meat Boy and Flame Over.  I havent even bought Flame or Axiom yet.  Waiting for rock bottom prices.

 
Visited my parents for a bit. They were watching my nephew. He immediately grabbed a 360 controller, and put it in my hand. "I gotta show you this game". He puts on left 4 dead 2, and starts teaching me how to play. He was so excited at the thought he could show me a game. I didn't have the heart to tell him I'm already a boss at the game. So I fumbled around for a while letting zombies beat me up, and getting lost in the map. Before I left he told me I need to buy the game, and practice, before I play it with him again. Proud uncle here

Do you like roguelikes? I'm not sure you'll dig Flame Over.
I thought it was a fast paced game about putting out fires? If its fast paced like I think I wont mind restarting over and over. I liked Rogue Legacy (I hope I have the right Rogue/Legacy title) well enough after you taught me what to do.

I hate Spelunky because its slow paced yet you can die quickly and have to trudge through the same shit again and again.

It's a bit faster paced, yeah. It also has permanent upgrades (which Spelunky doesn't have but Rogue Legacy does). To just beat, it's harder than Rogue Legacy but easier than Spelunky.

The runs take longer than both of those games though, by a decent margin. So if you die on like the 14th level (out of 16) you'll have spent probably about an hour getting that far. Compared to dying in the 14th level of Spelunky, you probably won't have played more than 20 mins.

EDIT: But I guess it also means that you live longer than you do in Spelunky, which seems to be your main headache with it. That you die too quickly and have to replay stuff over and over.

I keep meaning to try it out to see how it works on Vita but I haven't gotten around to it. I'd want to know if it works well enough on Vita to get through some PS3 backlog. That would be neato.

No but PS Now isn't geared as much to those that still own PS3, especially those like us who own tons of games on it and have owned PS3s for years.

Like, I own 20 of those 23 games. Those additions mean nothing to me. But if I had never owned a PS3, the PS Now subscription would keep looking better and better.

If you're renting it through Now, then I don't see how it can be a backlog game. You don't have it until you get Now. Then I guess it's a backlog game, but all you have to do is stop paying for Now and, viola, no more backlog!

Yeah so Flame Over is something I could get into. I might not 100% it but I would definitely like it. Its more twitch and permanent upgrades I dig dog. Not to be confused with dig dug.

 
I get that you are just trying to find extra time to play the PS3 games you still want to play but I can't fathom paying for PS now just to play games you already own.
Yeah probably not logical but if it really worked that well I'd be tempted.

You're talking to the guy who owns something like 10 Vitas.
Only 4! I returned the Aqua Blue Gamestop one. I have 2 slims and 2 OLEDS. Launch Black, Sapphire Blue OLED (import), Slim Black, Slim White (import). Yeah it's too many. Just LOVE the Vita. Might purge some though.

Any of you cool kids with Portal 2 on both PS3 and Steam wanna give me a hug tonight?  I'm also looking for volunteers to do the co-op calibration course for the first time with me after I beat all the co-op chambers (which hopefully will be tonight).

I guess I could do the co-op calibration course, but I don't even have a Steam account, let alone Portal 2 on one. Isn't that required for the online co-op?

and this

neither were spectacular, but it was still interesting to see that i could do it. i wanted to do the fight at level 1, but you have to go through a map before you get to them.

 
Damn, my buying habits have changed alot in the past year or so. Almost half of my backlog is made up of digital PS4 games.

Yeah a Steam account with a copy of Portal 2 on it is required to play online on the PS3 version now with all the server goofiness. I bought the lady a copy for $4 during the Winter Steam sale so we could play and it's worked great.

There might be hope, actually--I think I have a few Steam codes for Portal 2 lying around from when I bought PS3 copies to sell/flip somewhere (long enough ago that I don't remember the details). I'll make a Steam account tonight and see if one of the codes still works.
