That sucks it starts up when HoW comes out tho! I got the morning shift that day so I'll be trying it out in the evening. Hopefully you'll get a chance to jump in PoE with me.

Agents of shield has their season finale tonight. next Tuesday should be good for me to get on in the early evening.

Well it seems I won't be able to join you in PoE fun until the weekend. I'll be training starting Mon up until Fri. Boo, ohwell. Don't have to much fun without me.

The new strike is crazy... the boss fight is longer than the whole damn run through x_X

Aw yeah, Cryptarch gave me The Chance off a blue engram. Got me a new hand cannon!

Awesome.

I just watched the trailer for it. Nice. It has that telltale game feel to it. Do you get to actively rewind time or is only during certain moments?

You can do it whenever you want as far as I could tell but honestly the only time you'll really use it is if you fuck up during an event or if you decide to do one of the major choice things differently (these events will tell you there will be consequences for your actions). Honestly an interesting tool but not all that useful yet. Ep 2 releases next week so we'll see if it has more use then.

RIP ;_;

RIP. I'll miss him. ;_;

Get better soon! And get some robitussin!

I've seen usb wifi dongles for sale on amazon before. I thought about getting one for an old laptop to upgrade it to wireless n but I never got around to trying that out.

I use a USB wifi for my pc and it works great. It only sticks out half an inch, so it would be ideal for a laptop. Mine is made by d-link

Hmmm, I'll take a look at some tonight.

Because it's such a great show and I feel everybody should watch it. Based on that reaction you just got done watching 2 of my favorite episodes, such a great look into Valmet's character.

I'm impressed they are allowed to name off Magpul and Sig Sauer talking about their new gear. That didn't come cheap by any means.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries cameo FTW.

Picked up the entire series of Clannad (both seasons) plus the movie, Yuyushiki, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, and I just placed my order for Dirty Pair Flash (the only Dirty Pair series I don't own). I think it's a good haul but I just wish I could of afforded seasons 2 and 3, the OVA, and the movie of Shakugan no Shana. Just didn't have enough money atm

Nice, I always liked Dirty Pair. I haven't watched the other series tho. Damn Gurren Lagann and FMA Brotherhood on blu ray are still expensive as hell. x_x

Heh, which is why I'm glad I picked up Brotherhood two years ago during the Christmas sale. Still expensive but much cheaper then normal.

Stuff*

The only advantages you can get from monetary purchases in gw2 is more inventory/bank space, unlimited use mining/harvest tools, and xp/craft boosters. Everything else is just for vanity purposes.

While a lot of it can make life easier, it isn't so burdensome without it that your pushed to the brink to buy them. I've spent money on some of it because I enjoy the game enough to support a developer that keeps bringing free content via the living world story.

Cool. Are they all remastered on bluray?

Doesn't say in the press release but I'm assuming that they will. If not I'm perfectly happy with DVD quality, I just want my Gundam shows

I hear that. About 1/4 to 1/2 of everyone I know right now is either sick or has a sick relative right now. There's some strong viruses going around. Get better soon.

Dude that fucking sucks. That shit shouldn't fly. They fucked up so they shouldn't get it until everyone who else got theirs. This is one of the reason I don't pre-order in stores, shit like this always happens.

Yeah, The cashier I spoke to said she was going to call the DM to hunt another one down, but if I dont get a call before I get off work tomorrow, I'm going up there and tell them what I think of them and get my money back. They'll never get another dime out of me either way.

Gamestop has screwed my pre order bonuses plenty of times years ago. I've only bought watch dogs and destiny from them in the past 10 years, but after hearing how they screwed you I think I'll switch back to online only orders now.

Lmao! Maybe it's the same Sledge that was a boss from borderlands 1. After he died he must have gone to hell.

It's more on the puzzle end, trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B without being seen by enemies or getting hit by enemy fire or obstacles (some pretty fun driving sections). No real action as if you're seen by an enemy they instantly kill you (not to say there is none, end of chapter one has a rather interesting fight to take out a zeppelin). This game is more driven by the story it's telling which completely has me invested, though they don't talk much I lo...

...ve the characters.

Sounds good. I'll have to check some gameplay videos of it.

Beyond earth!? Is it a civilization game that's focused on scifi? I'll have to check the trailer after work.

Yea, it's Civilization in space. I never played it but the guy from Firaxis that GameSpot interviewed said its a lot like Sid Meier's Alpha Centari. Basically we get sent into space to colonize an alien planet. Plays a lot like Civ 5 from what I've seen but you get to fight Alien creatures and other human colonists (apparently there's 8 factions you get to choose from and you get to set up how your colony is seeded (what tech you bring, what people, etc.).

That sounds really good to me.

It's also awesome how you can tell it to download a game from the PS store while you're at work.

As much as I'm loving this game. The complete lack of facial expressions is killing me. Aiden and his Sister look emotionless while talking. It doesn't ruin the game for me, but I find it awkward, because the story is pretty good so far.

Using the in game engine rather than CGI cut scenes makes the game flow a lot better as well.

The Airburst is such a cheap gun but I love it so much (especially on Metro and Locker). I can't wait till I unlock the SKS, shouldn't take long as long as I stay away from the 24/7 Metro server I found on Wed.

I think I missed the last double XP weekend, but save your XP boosts for those weekends because the XP stacks and you'll get that sks quick.

RPG > all

lmao.

Don't worry Strider.. just look forward to June.. at least it never snows in June. x_x

Pfft, in ND it still snows in July (sadly this has happened before). Our weather patterns out here are fucking weird. Damn global warming

Snow in July!? I'd have moved out of that state immediately. lol.

I'm looking forward to Mercenary Kings. I thought about buying it when it came to Steam but never did (no money at the time). Will definitely be picking it up when it comes up. Sadly fantasy and old school has been taking a back seat lately in the game market. Give it a year and I'm sure more games that appeal to you will come out, its just Shooters and what not sell consoles so that's why they're generally the only titles to come out at launch.

Thanks Strider, if I don't see anything in a year I curse you'll get a pimple on your forehead. Yeah, Sledge lets pick em up next time!

I'm glad Mercenary Kings will be free.

Yeah, Pchan! I'll have to find some of my old SNES games to play on it.

I hear ya there, give me the old school RPG where my choices made an impact on the world and story. Sadly there really hasn't been a good MMO to come out in awhile. I love FFXIV: ARR but in all honesty it's just like all the others before it (but, like TOR, it has an actual story to follow which is quite interesting. Plus it's fun to play even if it gets extremely repetitive). Sadly though I haven't run into an actual good RPG in awhile (nothing along the lines of Star Ocean I...

...I, that game is still freaking amazing (still need to beat it though x.x)).

I'm thinking FF6 was the best rpg I ever played. Halfway through the game the world is thrown into war and chaos because our character's failed. That was a good RPG.

Good I didn't hear about any of their sales *hides wallet from self*

Steal prices were the full Berserk manga for 50% off. Reissued too, so all those expensive first press out of stock manga is back for half the original price.

Thats some crazy freezing temps you're having to deal with. It must suck. x_x

Sucks the big one. Finally starting to warm up (if you can -13 degrees warm). By next week we're supposed to be back in the 30's

Hang in there. x_x

I saw that the Gurren Lagaan team made this. Hows the fight scenes?

Yeah the show is bananas

Fight scenes are quite awesome and over the top, plus Ryuuko fights in a scantily clad suit so a win-win. As Eppy said it is bananas.

I remember when I installed Windows 3.1 on my DOS computer.. Windows used so many system resources i thought it was a pointless graphical operating system that had no future. months later I found out I could use an image for a background, my mind was blown.

800x600 resolution FTW!

I had to upgrade my monitor to get that resolution. My original computer had an 5 1/4 floppy drive and a 10 or 20mb hard drive. When those 1.4 mb disks came out.. it was huge.
