Seems like my PS3 controller has finally died after 9 years. Should I pick one up at GameStop or somewhere else. I'm looking for a genuine one


I wouldn't trust a pre owned ps3 controller from GameStop. You aware the DS4 works on ps3?

I am a physician. If they told you that then that is nonsense. There are criteria for hospital admittance. Predominantly based on breathing and how well you are oxygenating you’re blood. Other things can play a factor as well but no hospital is basing admissions solely on fever. 

You should find a different hospital if that’s what they told you. 
 

I work in dialysis and the nephrologists that I work described how numerous COVID patients developed kidney failure as a side effect.  I would recommend getting a work up from your PCP asap.  Just like scottsman mentioned, you might have some signs and symptoms of vascular disease developing.

Could it be a custom made controller from the Xbox design lab? That’s the only thing I can think of. Someone ordered a custom designed one right from Xbox and one day just traded it in


I was thinking the same thing. They probably just selected the ocean one just to get it in the system

trchavez,

 

I'm really sorry to hear about this.  I hope that you, your family, coworkers, and bosses make it through these times.  I'm glad that no one was at work when this happened.

 

It's really unfortunate that people are taking a serious cause and trying to profit from it by stealing, vandalizing, and hurting others.

Wow. That's a long time Zantra. At least you've managed to not be hospitalized. Take care and get well soon

The Switch game Moto GT Rush is currently free if you already own the following games:

 

Ludomania

Klondike Solitaire

Flowlines VS

Food Truck Tycoon

Sushi Time!

Street Basketball

Burger Chef Tycoon

2048 Battles

Classic Games Collection Vol. 1

Freecell Solitaire Deluxe

Pizza Bar Tycoon

Cooking Tycoons - 3 in 1 Bundle

Spider Solitaire

 

I've heard good things about this game, but it's 2.3 GB in size, so I say claim it and then delete it if you hate it. 

 

Edit: After I posted this, I saw that Freecell Solitaire Deluxe is also free for me as well.

 

And then the Switch game Adrenaline Rush - Miami Drive is currently free if you already own the following games.

 

Real Drift Racing

Headball Soccer Deluxe

Bubble Cats Rescue

Deadly Fighter 2

Pet Shop Snacks

Go! Fish Go!

Perseverance

Just Glide

 

Again, I haven't played it before.  But claim, delete, and then complain.

I found out that I own Moto GT Rush.  Looked in this forum to see if it was ever mentioned since I just bought the Baltoro games, and then found this post.  Freecell isn't listed as free for me though

So both games have the same publisher, Baltoro Games.
Usually for things like this, you get games for free if you own other games from the same publisher.
Here's a list of their Switch games: http://www.baltoroga...mes-page-1.html
Of these, I only owned Street Basketball and Freecell Solitaire Deluxe, and Trancelation showed up as free for me, but not Blood Breed.
Perhaps owning any Baltoro game is enough to get Trancelation for free.

This appears to be correct.  I just bought Sushi Time now and got Trancelation for free.   Thanks

Cheapest up to date was when Target misprint ed their paper ad saying 1 year sub for $15. It was YMMV in getting them to honor in store. They meant to display the 3 month card in the ad.

Back on topic, anyone having trouble checking out with their credit card? I've been trying since last night and it doesn't work. Maybe it's my card because I couldn't even add it on PayPal too

My number one game was listed as Persona 4 Golden at 96 hours. I'm not even near the end if the game yet. Really thought I'd have a different game listed there. Next games are Saints Row 3 at 89 hours and Remember Me at 70 hours. Makes my list seem like I was in a time warp. Even my Switch list was really low. I think I spent the majority of the time on BFV and Modern Warfare on PC

Team,
Whats the deal with Brickseek showing N/A for the price but availability shows IN STOCK?

its gone everywhere except these 2 stores but a bit of a hike so curious before I head out there?


It means that it will be in stock but the price is out of the system. The reps will have to jump through some hoops to find the price. And it may not be at the price you were hoping for, so beware.

Sigh, I really want to pre-order Persona 5 R Phantom Thieves Edition from Best Buy before my GCU runs out in March. But I’ve already sunk 170hrs into the original game and my wife and I are expecting our first kiddo the end of February. Responsible adult me says don’t do it, but gamer me who has FOMO says throw it in the backlog! Help me CAG fathers, can one game and change diapers without pissing off the wife!?

Please don’t take my goofy post the wrong way, I’m extremely excited to be a dad. Not to mention I can pass my backlog to my son so he can not play everything too.


Echo, as a father of two kids and a dog, I'd say pass on this. You've spent a lot of time on the first game. Once the baby comes, you'll find game time to be cut. And to be pessimistic, you and your wife will soon be bickering about who needs to do what. So playing a game will add fuel to that fire. Not sure about your finances, but babies are a drain. You'll go through formula, diapers, clothes, wipes, and everything else like water so save that deluxe edition money for your future costs. Maybe save money in the future for Golden/Royal/Monarchy edition of Persona 6. Good luck with the baby. Trust me, tell your wife to hold the baby in for as long as possible. You're going to miss this free time you have now.

To be honest, having a baby is a miraculous thing. But at times it's hard to enjoy those moments when you're fatigued and stressed. My kids are in elementary school now and I have forgotten their infant years which is a blessing and sad. But it's almost like trauma that you repressed. Hope this helps
