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

Ordered a t-shirt for one of my kids from FanGamer (he paid me for it). Did not pick Expedited shipping. Saw yesterday that they charged me $29+ to ship it and that's when I saw that it was expedited. I sure didn't pick it intentionally and am almost 100% positive and I didn't pick it accidentally. I don't care when the stupid shirt arrives. Fan gamer won't issue a refund of any kind. Says they don't see how it could be picked accidentally. Great.

 
Trying to solace myself by ordering some dumb game from amazon underground and hoping I get the free $5 even though I don't have anything the game will run on. It let me order anyway, so maybe?

 
Have you guys seen those stupid "X number of things you missed during Y event" videos on ESPN.com? They're so fucking stupid, like a whole new level of pointlessly stupid. They must have way too many people on staff to be churning out shit like that.

ESPN apparently hates to have their videos shared across the internet, here's the link to the most recent one altho usually when I post ESPN links they don't work.

Sony is just...so dumb. They added a PS4 Throwback Pack for $24.99:

https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/star-wars-throwback-pack/cid=UP1082-NPUB50359_00-STARWARSTHROWPS4

  • STAR WARS™ Bounty Hunter™
  • STAR WARS™: Racer Revenge
  • STAR WARS™ Starfighter™
The three games together are $14.97 right now. Same with the Prototype bundle not being discounted even though the individual games are...completely opposite to how other sales have bundles go on sale but not the individual games. :wall:
Maybe the discount just hasn't been applied to it yet?
This is priced at $12.49 now. Also bought.

Man, there are going to be so many people pissed off when King's Quest has finished releasing and the Episode 1/Season Pass combo doesn't give a plat. I really don't get why they do that.

 
Taking hydrocodone and drinking a triple rum and coke is the only way to go to your kids song and dance at school when your ex and ex in laws are there.
 
Going to NYC Friday. Tempted to get a ticket to the islanders lightning game Friday night .

$100 for nosebleed. $600 for first row on the ice...tempted.

Yeah, but Islanders fans. I mean, ugh.

Local Best Buy had that Toy Soldiers Hall of Fame game for the PS4 for 9 bucks before GCU on the shelf. Online price is $24 so YMMV if it's not a national in store markdown. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/toy-soldiers-war-chest-hall-of-fame-edition-playstation-4/3747033.p?id=1219598115059&skuId=3747033

We can shoot for tonight, 9PM EDT for anyone that can make it . My mics and everything are all packed to move but basically this is what the game plan would be as I understand it:

- team of 5

- contract owner picks specialists to give bonuses to the capital ship and then the mission starts.

- the map of the ship is at the top of the screen!!! that's the only way to see if a part is being attacked if it's not right in front of you

I think the actual run goes something like this:

Phase 1. you start out in PvE with toughish guardians. the primary goal is to mine as much ore as fast as possible (you have 5 minutes) and build up the ship like a base. so bring speedy ships or raider ships that can hold 2x as much and just grab ore and run away from the guardians.

Phase 2. first PvP round (also 5 minutes long) and most likely round to wipe because your systems/ships are still at a low level, especially if you get dropped in a 10v10 match and everyone wants to bring you down. bring justicars / heavy hitters and stand + defend + heal as much as possible all of the capital ships structures. could switch out to raiders as needed (e.g. warden with the plasma trail) to keep folks back. watch for bulldogs (I think) - the ones with the timer bombs. I was able to nearly solo a low level capital ship with that stupid bomb in 5 minutes, so push the bombs away if you see them no matter what.

Phase 3. back to PvE (5 minutes), speedy mining / leveling. hopefully ship systems are getting up to level 3/4 by now.

Phase 4. second PvP (5 minutes), same strategy w/ heavy hitters etc. ship systems are more capable of taking care of themselves so it's probably ok to venture out a bit to push away aggressive types

Phase 5. last round of PvE (5 minutes), with any luck all ship systems will be repaired and at level 5 by the end of this phase

Phase 6. last round of PvP (5 minutes), hopefully the team is all at level 10/ship systems at level 5 and we get dropped in a 5v5 match that just started where nobody cares

hopefully whoever participates can communicate even if I can't - I could probably use my vita for party chat and annoy my wife with it. I'm definitely happy to use one of my contracts for our test run now that I have a spare. for spending 30 minutes doing this you can get a boatload of awards - I think after every phase you get the usual sorts of rewards/xp (so 6 rounds worth) and if you make it to the end you get elite fancy stuff - paint jobs, portraits, more contracts, etc.
I created an event for this on psn because I can.

 
Nobody here bought Rocketbirds 2, right? Because there's a pretty fun MP mode. I know it has offline and online coop, but I'm not positive on matchmaking. I'll check that out tonight.

Over 365 games in the PlayStation Now subscription service. Definitely starting to look like a better deal, especially for those that didn't do a ton of gaming last generation.
My Blu Ray player came with PlayStation Now. If it works with my PS4 controller, I might sign up for a month every time I get Sony withdrawals.
 
So Fiorina had all of those embarrassing moments in a week for nothing.

I think I want this in a picture frame  :rofl:

I got a $20 PSN code for $17 from the trade thread, so picked up Crypt of the Necrodancer while it's on sale. Probably going to play it on Vita.
