  1. @Strider Hiryu PR3 Ships incoming and two are Iron Blood!
     

    Oof, I guess I'll have to throw what little I have in the dorm to be able to farm XP on later levels. 😭

      Yea, I saw them on Twitter. Suffice to say I'm going to be putting way more hours into AL now

      OMG they even laxed the XP grind. Now its just Vanguard or Main fleet requirements instead of specific ship types.

  2. Playing through MW2's campaign again, I forgot how many batshit crazy watershed moments there were. XD  Like MW1 was way more grounded in reality. Both are great but MW2's campaign is like an 80's action movie at times. My heart still raced stealthing through the snow and hijacking the snow mobiles near the start. running through the favela tops, escaping the gulag. Its pretty fun experiencing it all again 10 years later with slightly better visuals. I'm glad it's this month's free game.

      Meh, I never really liked the campaign to MW2 so I didn't bother downloading it (plus lets get something more meaty Sony, the last few freebies were rather meh). I'll agree it's batshit crazy and there are a few standout moments but MW1's campaign was so much better for me. It's most likely because my favorite mission in any CoD campaign is All Ghillied Up. Such a wonderfully crafted mission (and fucking difficult as all hell on Veteran).

      MW1 was def the best, but MW2 was just fun, and MW3 was kinda brutal. I hated MW3 with a passion for the MP, but I'd still replay the campaign. 

  3. Cellular service has become more shit the more advance the technology has become. I went through Hurricane Ivan and Katrina.. both Cat 4-5 storms with extreme wind damage and didn't have any loss of service the entire time, even with the power off for a week. Sally rolls through almost 2 decades later as a cat 2 hurricane and cellular service is unreliable for many people in my area. I wish SMS could work off WIFI like calls can, because having to rely on some shit tower that might be too far off or isn't operational is irritating.

      I hate SMS never using wifi. I downloaded google messages app and use it as my sms program because it's supposed to work over wifi when cell service isn't available. It should technically work but it's completely unreliable imo. I had wifi calling on all the time under the advanced calling setting but it would never make the call over wifi because I always had 1 crap 3g bar of connection that it would default to. And there is no way to force the phone to use wifi for calling and texting by default. So wherever I was home I'd have the wifi calling turned on and I'd have to turn my phone onto airplane mode to force the phone to disconnect from cell service so wifi calling and texting would work. I was able to make calls and get text in airplane mode but after a week of doing that I had people tell me they called and it would sometimes go straight to voicemail or I'd get a text a day late or not at all. Eventually I got that femtocell from Verizon to give me full bars of service inside my house over my internet. I have seen tho that it has dropped coverage once when verizon had a service outage. I guess when their service goes completely down it's not just a cell tower issue because my femtocell directly connects to Verizon servers over the internet.

      Google messages stating it'll work over wifi:

      You can try downloading it, turn on wifi calling and then switch to airplane mode and see if it works? But airplane mode sucks and might silent alarms, etc.

      I just realized that pic says google fi help. Ehh. I don't think that makes a difference because I remember getting texts over my phone in airplane mode. Maybe some android OS updates has made it more reliable than when I used it like that.

  4. I marathoned Breaking Bad over the last 2 weeks. I really enjoyed it. But it had one of my least favorite cliches.... and that's when there are two characters, and they're never in sync with each other. One is always on the up while the other fucks it up. Walter and Jesse just couldn't keep it together at the same time the whole series. Saul Goodman was such a good character I marathoned what Netflix had of Better Call Saul after that. Kinda slow at times, and not what I was expecting.. but still a good watch as well.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Breaking bad was really good, some of the best acting I've seen in a series. But I never was interested in Better Call Saul so I skipped on that show.

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      He would def have to be one of your favorite characters for you to be into the show. It was nothing like I thought it was going to be. I was expecting it to be about more of his illegal antics outside of Walter and Jesse, but its more a prequel of how he became Saul Goodman. He still has a sense of morality and feels bad when he does shady stuff. Its more about a reject getting his way though the world than a crime drama.

  5. While wholly unoriginal. The "final" season of Attack on Titan is brutally dark and amazing. The Titan's origins are explained... but we fall back on racism and xenophobia... Code Geass/Aldnoah.Zero style and every other anime that use it as a crutch. They literally are pulling and blending aspects of WWII German and Japanese culture. But it works. I've heard the final season won't cover to the end of the manga, which I suspected since there is way to much left.... but I also heard there will be a sequel series. I stopped reading the manga when I reached the end of where it was at the time... which is still probably after this anime ends. Is it the best ever? Nah... but for me its highly entertaining.... the anime pacing, seasonal wise was handled poorly due to the no use of fillers, but at the same time not waiting for the manga to get to a certain point. I've said it before, but season 2 shouldn't exist. It should have been parts of season 1 and 3. If you binge it now, it won't make a difference though since you didn't have to wait. Regardless, this series has some of the best high tension action sequences around... and the damn near best monologue I've ever seen on a show of any medium. I'll be interested to see where they call it for the end.

    I rank this the best fucking dub performance of all time... I don't even like this character, but this scene made me respect him and the voice actor that fucking nailed it... which leads to the best action sequence by the best character of this series not contained in this clip.

      Well I never saw all of season 2 yet. Sounds like it gets alot better. I need to get caught up on it.

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Season 2 was awful because it was like something taken out of context. Season 3 is amazing and often forget it's split into two since there was a long break in the middle of it. Part 2's sequence of eps is where the pacing takes off and it hasn't stopped yet.

  6. My PC came with a free month of Game Pass Ultimate. I decided to check out what I can play for free and found out how garbage the Xbox App for PC is. I downloaded Halo Infinite. The game wouldn't load. It would show the spartan insignia and then I'd just get a black screen. I never got to the title screen. Upon investigating this, its apparently a common issue. I tried all the "fixes" and uninstalled and re-installed the game twice. It never worked. So then I try to play The Ascent with a friend. The game worked fine solo, but we couldn't connection to each other. Again, I look it up and its once again.... a common issue. This time with no fix. We gave up and bought it on steam where it works without any issues. Needless to say, I'm cancelling Game Pass.

      I'm not impressed with game pass for PC, but with the Ultimate, try the cloud gaming feature and see if you can play any xbox console exclusives on your PC. There might be something worth playing on that during the free month. But yeah, the pc game pass sucks.. try and access the free EA Access games, lol. You have to install the EA Access app, login to it with your game pass and access the EA games through that because they can't bother to have a single app to launch the games. -_-

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I think its only worth it if you play alot of sports games or you have an Xbox console and a decent PC and alot of free time to play $15 worth of games a month.

  7. vB can go beat rocks together like cavemen. ipb 4-life!

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      IPB is a huge improvement over vb. :nod:

  8. Beyoncé's halftime show was pretty sexy, but Michael Jackson's 1993 performance is still the best IMO.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I missed it. I was watching old episodes of Star Trek TNG. lmao. ^_^;

  9. Finished business on Tatooine, off to Manaan... but not before Walking Dead. :P

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Everything must stop for Walking Dead. :nod:

  10. PS4 announced, showed games, the controller, but no console? wtf? Fail

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I noticed that too. They didn't show the actual console at all. wtf. I watched most of the meeting, it was so slow I stopped watching and jumped on borderlands for a while. :P

  11. Is it Sunday yet? I need a fast forward to Walking Dead season Finale.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I wish it was Sunday. That episode is going to be epic. :D

  12. Got Bio Shock 1 & 2 plus Spec Ops: The Line from Gamefly for $9.99. they have some pretty good bundles, some steam related.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Damn! Thats a good deal.

  13. Going to see Pacific Rim tonight!

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Lucky! I hope its good. :D

  14. Watching xxxHolic and really enjoying despite the first 2 eps being meh. I love how EVERY anime uses the same stock cicada/cricket/bird chirp background noise.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I hate that background noise. XD

  15. 10 episodes into Welcome to the NHK I find this series to be hysterical. Immature humor FTW.

    1. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Freaking awesome show, loved every minute of it. Eppy suggested it a few years back and I'm glad I took his advice. Tis a very fun ride.

  16. Almost bought TMNT on steam, but then I saw on the forums that the multiplayer is busted.. glad I checked. I'll wait for a patch.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I figure I'll wait until the thanksgiving / christmas sale. I'm sure it'll be patched by then and on sale for a few bucks off.

  17. Logged into Origin for the BF4 beta and was given Battlefield 1942 for free in celebration of BF4.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I just checked Origin and I forgot I already had Battlefield 1942. lol. They gave it away sometime earlier this year as a 10 year celebration or something.

  18. Comic-Con Confirmed Eugine, Rosita, and Abraham for this season of TWD... I feel a good amount of "significant deaths" occurring to thin out relevant characters.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      This season looks like it will be interesting.

  19. I just noticed Netflix has Godzilla movies now! O_O

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      oh shit.. I'll be watching a marathon this weekend. :D

  20. Got my PX4 Ear Force Turtle Beach headset... Good God Battlefield 4 is INTENSE. You can hear the bullets zip by you when they miss... DICE is ran by some serious audiophiles...

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Awesome. The audio in BF3 was amazing. I'm glad BF4 doesn't disappoint. oh... If you can get into a conquest match, the vehicle sounds would probably be life like. O_O

  21. Air Superiority is a snore. Everyone is either 2-0, 0-2, or 1-1... The 3 times I tried to play it, it was all stealth jets on the same map.. lame.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I didn't like Air Superiority on BF3 at all. But on PS3 there were crazy jet experts. I'd end up going 1/9 half the time. It wasn't enjoyable either.

  22. I had an epic chopper RPG kill and share option recorded something completely different. The match was longer than 15 minutes, and every time I hit share in the middle of a round it never records the last 15 minutes.. just some random shit.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I had that happen too. I think my problem was that I was backing out of the share menu too fast after I pressed the button. I wish I could set the button to take a video and not load the share menu but it doesn't have that option. Double tap to start recording for 15 mins, press and hold for screenshot and hit to save previous 15 and load menu.. damn load menu screen gets me killed. -_-

  23. Downloaded the complete Macho Man collection mods for L4D2 XD!!!!

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I'll do that! Those look hilarious! XD

  24. Pledged $30 to Kung Fury's Kickstarter for the Blu-Ray. XD

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I'm tempted to do the same, but I'll probably wait until it comes out since they already made their goal. :P

  25. Just watched The Collection... Meh... The Collector was better... The Collection just seemed to be an unwarranted sequel.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I've never seen either of them. I'll check them out. At first I thought you were talking about The Bone Collector. Denzel Washington had a good role in that movie.
