I've heard Web of Shadows is decent, I picked it up fairly cheap in the last Hastings sale to give it a try and I am just now realizing that it doesn't have trophies. Oh well, that will make it go faster as I won't have to worry about collectibles.

I found a note on my car. It said, in-effect, "How about stopping at the mother fucking stop sign next time? You cut me off. You're a menace!"

The only thing I can think they were talking about was a 4-way stop at work. I pulled up to that and slowed to a crawl and nobody else was moving. To avoid deadlock I then just went. Anyway, it's cool to be called a menace, right?

What kind of nut job finds your car and takes the time out of their shitty existence to write you a note like that?

Whats scary is he followed you from that point to your destination.

Then again, he chose to write you a scathing letter rather than confront you face to face, so probably not much to worry about. He's got your plate though!

I played that puzzle game Minutes tonight. It is pretty mediocre.

How many minutes did it take you to realize that?

BTW, I went back to Walmart last night. The woman I talked to the day before yesterday who said they wouldn't match Amazon was just a dumbass. Last night a little old decrepit woman was there instead and she knew exactly what the policy was, why it was "Shipped and Sold by Amazon" as a requirement, and got me the PM for Handsome Collection. Now I just need to finish up DA:I. Damn it's a long game.

I thought Web of Shadows was trash. Hated that game.

 
I've been doing a little research on sleep patterns and such because I feel like I'm entirely too sleepy and groggy as a 25 year old who gets 6.5-7 hours of sleep per night. I usually stay up late on Fridays and Saturdays to get a little gaming time in, but based on what I've read I think I'm gonna try to go to bed the same time every night and just get that same gaming time, but in the mornings on the weekends instead of late at night and see if that improves things for me. It's a worth a shot I think.

 
Great way to wake up IMO. Might also want to look at your diet for sleepiness. Caffeine, etc.. When I have a carby diet I tend to feel a lot more lethargic and sleepy in general.

yeah, I usually only have a little caffeine in the mornings, maybe a little in the form of a soda at lunch. Problem with changing my diet is I'm trying to put on weight.

 
Metal Slug 3 is still hard even on the easiest setting with 99 lives.  I didnt track my lives at all and I am in the last mission but it doesnt look like I can finish it without using all my lives.  the level keeps going and going and going.  I may just need to restart.  I killed the big brain thing with 3 lives left and it still went on for a while.  Anyone know when the end is going to come?  Ill  look for a video later.

MS3 is only hard on the easiest difficulty if you're not paying attention. I suggest spamming the Save option (you probably noticed, but you only have the one save slot) so you can Load if you're dying too much in a given section.

That said, the final level is definitely the hardest--I lost close to 20 lives on that level alone when I had lost maybe 5-7 lives across the first four levels.

I guess you were spamming save and load a lot otherwise there is no way to only lose 7 lives in the first 4 missions. Yeah I was being lax but it still isnt easy. Especially due to the old school controls. I just need to suck it up and start over it isnt that long and I can abuse save/load this time.

I spammed those to go for the Route Master trophy and I guess I learned the routes in the process.

Just accept the fact that vig is better at games than you.

 
Does GCU work for stuff like season passes?

Asking cause will eventually need the fallout 4 pass and it shows up as in store only on bby website.

I told you.

 
FO4 peeps who platted it: Based on PST.org's trophy guide, it looks like I can play the missions for Brotherhood of Steel through "Blind Betrayal" before I need to worry about turning any other faction hostile. So if I want to play each faction (other than Minutemen) up to their respective point-of-no-return, is this correct?

Institute: Mankind Redefined

Brotherhood of Steel: Blind Betrayal

Railroad: Underground Undercover (up to objective "Continue Working with Father")

GAme has a HUGE prompt telling you you're about to piss one or the other off.

Been a while since I did it, but as long as you make a save before that point and come back to that save later, you're good.

I did the institute first, then the railroad, then brotherhood I think.

actually, just literally follow that guide and save where it says save, hard to mess up following it.

I know, but since the list for BoS doesn't mention a faction turning hostile until after "Blind Betrayal", I wasn't sure if I could first do all of those missions before saving-then-finishing each faction's missions.

go by the guide, do institute first, brotherhood, then go back and do railroad.

Just requires the two saves, one to get you back to brotherhood and another to get back to railroad.

Will take a few hours to do it all fyi.

yeah, I didn't make it in 99 lives my first time but the second time through I had probably a dozen to spare without spamming saves. the end is obscenely long - probably twice as long as the rest of the game put together. ignore vig, he's a robot. nobody but an automaton loses only 20 lives in that last level, especially the first time they play it.

I think the last level sequence is something like:

ground / flying mission on earth (fight big machine gun guy) -> fight dictator or whatever guy with the ground gatling gun -> spaceship pod (vertical) -> big spaceship fight, enter spaceship -> long ass segment to alien boss -> long ass segment to clone factory -> shorter segment escaping from remaining clones (+ flying vertical segment) -> falling tank to final boss

But there's just so many Brotherhood missions compared to the other two...

Fine, I'll do it. Which ending did you like best (without spoilers, obviously)?

nearly all movies except Die Hard?

Nearly all movies made ever are garbage but the 80s has more movies I'd consider classics than probably any other decade. Die Hard is certainly one of those classics and is still the best Christmas movie IMO.

Google's little ticker bar has a great lineup of the obvious ones that I'd agree with almost entirely:

My brother-in-law is getting an MRI today. It was about 5 years ago he had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his brain. Last month he had a seizure and we are all worried the MRI is going to show that the cancer has returned. Thoughts and prayers and such. He's a great guy and doesn't deserve this shit. He's younger than me too. 45. Married with two boys.

consistency is really important if you're having trouble feeling sleepy - going to bed near the same time and getting up at the same time every day (i.e. no sleeping in on the weekends) makes a big difference. if you find that you're still off kilter after fixing that, try shooting for 6 hours of sleep instead of more - some fancy scientists believe that rem sleep cycles run in 3 hour spans so you'll generally feel better rested when you wake up even after sleeping just 3 hours than you would if you had 7 (but of course you'll crash in the middle of the day on 3 hours of sleep). the 3 hour thing isn't timed to the minute so 6.5 shouldn't be that far off, you just don't want to get interrupted by an alarm in the middle of a cycle.

my wife has actually started getting up with me at 5am so she can go to yoga while I sit on my ass and play hot shots golf and she's been feeling a lot less tired than when she slept until 7am or later. we'll see if that sticks though.
