I preordered The Division when Best Buy was offering $15 in certs, so I'll probably be up for any PSNOT co-op shenanigans.

Both The Division and Battleborn were added months ago.

And they are the only ones currently getting certs, which is what I was pointing out.

Again, aint paid any attention to division and no idea what battleborn is other than some gearbox game that aint borderlands.

You're not allowed to look for other career opportunities? That sounds like a shitty place to work.

Na, I dont want my people to think I am leaving because something is up with the dept and then they get cold feet and start looking for another job too. As long as I am here I dont want any of my people to leave. Especially this girl as she could step into my role and would be a big raise for her. But as a manager I cant tell her that either. Again, management blows.

Not really. There are a lot of US players ahead of me. I do not know why their region is not set.

Sorry to disappoint you I guess....

Just saying, #1 in USA should be higher than 28th youd think.

#merica

I know that 4, 12, 13, and 16 are all in the US.

5 is in Bahrain. 7 is German. 8 is Polish. 9 is Canadian. The rest above me, I do not know for sure where they are from but I think a couple more are in the US.

Sorry, yea didnt realize its screwed up some since people dont have area set right, but for as much as you play and trophies you get, thought youd be higher is what I was saying, wasnt a dig at you in any way.

I didnt take it as one. I was just pointing out that I am definitely not the top American.

I'm playing that version of Hot Shots on Vita, you doing well from playing past versions of the games or did you find something that explains the mechanics pretty well? I can't believe there isn't any type of tutorial that explains how you do advanced things like ball spin.

They just haven't updated the list in a while. How long does that usually take, Vig?

jkam you playing Superchargers with your kids or nah? I don't like it. Too much focus on the vehicles and the lack of an arena mode or something similar to the doom challenges really sucks.
Click to expand...
No I haven't really this time around with Superchargers. I've watched him play it though. Definitely too much emphasis on the vehicles. He seems to like it though.

Sweet, #2 in US (just below Gator) and #34 worldwide.

I know Stotch mocked me but Sony just sent me a 1 day PS+ extension. Worth about 14 cents at full retail.

It is like Christmas in January.

Sony wins again!

Seriously why even bother?
Click to expand...
I haven't redeemed mine yet, but I'd guess that these 1-day PS Plus codes also re-activate auto-renewal. So just be careful with that.

Probably why Sony sent them as codes in the first place. To trick a few people into auto-renewing.

 
I'm also apparently #12 in the USA for Vita games (wtih Vig, Gator, & rpg in the top 5).  Yay bus commute times!

Welp, no Antonio Brown against the Broncos and Roethlisberger's arm is dangling by a thread. It looks like the Broncos are going to skate into the AFC title game.

And the NFL positioned the game as the prime Sunday game this week. I bet they regret that.

That was as close to a "Meteor" game as is possible (Cheering for a meteor to hit the stadium and take out both teams).

The Bengals crippled the Steelers physically then shot themselves in the foot and lost the game. Basically a loss for both teams.

I think they expect you to have played previous iterations. the load screens have all of the tutorial information strangely enough, but here's the skinny:

hit the ball in the hole within par. all environmental stuff affects your play, so specifically you have to pay attention to:

- wind (upper right - the speed and direction really do matter, but also how you hit the ball causes it to be more or less affected by the wind)

- weather (rain only, causes all drives / putts / etc to be underpowered to a random degree)

- elevation (i.e. if the green is 10 feet below your golfer, you have to not aim for the flag on the hit meter but rather just below it. the flag on the meter is ALWAYS relative to your position without environment taken in to consideration)

- lie (the lie of the ball where you're hitting from will often have a slope that you have to counter with the direction you hit and the lie of the course you hit it too matters in terms of slope - the more brutal courses they almost always slope towards sand traps or pits so you have to try to get the ball either slow down or roll to a flat area on drives)

putting is the most susceptible to the slope of the course and rain and it just takes practice to know how far to the left/right to adjust based on the 'speed' of the slope.

spin is important and a little confusing. basically this is it:

- back spin = hold down while hitting (distance and impact) + getting 'good' impact (in the pink with the default meter) = slows the roll of the ball

- super back spin = hold forward while hitting distance, hold back while hitting impact + getting 'perfect' impact (in the white with the default meter) = slows the roll considerably, can cause the ball to actually roll backwards after landing (based on spin skill). if it hits the pin it can cause a special shot ('homing shot') to magically sink the ball in the hole. homing shot randomly misses which is weird.

- forward spin = hold forward while hitting (distance and impact) + 'good' impact = causes the ball to roll farther

- super forward spin = hold back while hitting distance, hold forward while hitting impact + 'perfect' impact = lots of forward roll, can cause a 'rising shot' if it hits the pin

- side spin = hold a direction left or right to hook the ball left or right + 'good' impact

- super side spin = hold opposite direction of the way you want to hook while hitting distance, hold direction you want to hook while hitting impact + 'perfect' impact = really wide hook, also can cause a 'spiral shot' if it hits the pin which is hard as shit to hit

I almost always use forward spin on drives unless I need to avoid a hazard and back spins/hooks on every shot to the hole after that depending on the situation.

different golfers have different strengths, just experiment. if you're willing to part with the money, the level 5 big air / pin hole clubs and balls on psn as dlc makes it easier to do what you want starting out.

There's no harm in turning on easy difficulty. There is a pretty massive difficulty uptick in I think challenge set 4 and beyond and getting crowns on each challenge will make you want to throw your vita sometimes but I love this game.

 
Also consider it's not a requirement to put in your territory and definitely not your state when you sign up for TT, so only people who have bothered to change that would show up on the rankings

Most of the first part I know because it's the game with most other golf games, but I was confused why the red flag condition was sometimes so wildly inaccurate. I'm partway into the second cup and there hadn't been anything about spin on any of the loading screens, I guess that all comes later.

Raises hand! I just did it now. But it looks like I still dont show up in Florida. I would be #1 I think. Gator's buddy is #1 right now.

Man we all play a lot of games!  A lot more than I would have thought for some of you.  Surprised someone like Crazy is as high on his state's leaderboard.
