  1. Now that the state of Mississippi has opted into the lottery, I can take a 15 min drive across the state line to a little gas station and buy tickets. Its astonishing how my state just refuses to even let us vote on it. People take their money to FL and GA for lotto tickets, and now the state we share out biggest border has it... on top of that most of the population is on the west side of the state anyways making it even easier. XD So dumb. I'm just glad I don't have to drive an hour plus to get tickets anymore. I can now make a weekly trip and try my luck.

      I'd probably hit that $20 ticket every now and then. The scratchoffs seem to be a waste. Like cool you can win $500? Fuck that, I want the $100 million. XD The MS lotto website actually has the prizes left on all the scratch offs and most of the big ones are gone. Seems like an odd choice, I'd assume no one would buy any of them anymore when all the big prizes are dried up.

      The most lax alcohol laws are in New Orleans. There is a bar at every street corner, and you can just walk around the whole city with a open container. I remember the first time visiting as an adult, I stopped at a gas station and they basically had fifths of every mainstream bourbon behind the counter. XD You could fill up and get a bottle in one stop.

      There's only 2 things to do in New Orleans. Eat and Drink. XD Yeah they got a zoo and aquarium... and the WW2 Museum. But the majority of the city is restaurants and bars.

  2. A friend was able to score me a PS5 while I was at work today. I'm pretty pumped!

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Yeah its pretty massive. I had to clear out a space in my entertainment console to put it as it wont go under on beside my TV. I gave it the biggest cove so it wont overheat.. but so far it doesn't seem to get very hot. At first it kinda smelled like burnt plastic the first hour... only when you get really close to it... I guess not burnt plastic but more like when you turn your heater on for the first time. The UI is crips and has zero lag like the PS4 when you try to move around too fast on it. The power saver options are nice as well as the conviencnes of it asking if you want to download all the major streaming apps during set up. Funi is the only thing I use since my SmartTV doesnt have that app, but still nice.

      The controller had to be updated as well, Ill use a different controller tomorrow to see if I need to do it to all 3. At first I thought it was just on the console side but it told me not to unplug it from the PS5.

      The dualsense is very nice. Its got good heft and the dynamic rumble is impressive so far. I haven't had any experiance with haptic feedback yet though.

      The HD space is a joke.... I tell you that right now. I automatically downloaded playroom, with that, some stream apps, my save data. Spider-Man and COD Cold War. My SSD is already half full.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      That hard drive space is the main reason I'm in no rush to get one. I read that the proprietary SSD expandable hard drive space is coming soon though. Did you get all those free PS+ games for owning a PS5 yet? Those should install an play off an external hard drive no problem. Another interesting thing my brother told me about his... he said you can take your PS4 external drive and connect it to the PS5, boot the PS5 and it will auto recognize all the installed games on it and set them up to play. And you can go into the UI and disconnect the external and plug it back into the PS4 and there won't be any issues. He was doing that for a bit until he got another external drive dedicated just for PS4 games to play on the PS5.

      congrats. ^_^ i got my ps5 a couple days ago..FREE. bwhahah..my brother is moving away soon and he says with another child coming, he really doesnt have time anymore. i decided to give him my switch bc his is all messed up. anyway im still playing games on ps4 though. probably have to wait longer for more ps5 games to come out. we’ll see.

  3. Watching season 1 of Walking Dead... I wish Dale would have let Andrea die in the CDC.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      lmfao! We watched that CDC episode the other day to remember what part of the brain needed to be destroyed to kill walkers (brain stem). lol.. yes, Andrea had been a pain in the ass since the CDC episode. XD

    2. Kite

      Kite

      He should have let her die, In a world gone to hell like that, apart of me would want to end it, being incinerated instantly with no pain and no corpse to rise again sounds pretty decent way to go then the alternative

  4. Netflix added Trigun: Badlands Rumble! I just watched it and loved it!

    1. Dubird

      Dubird

      You know, I didn't really care much for the movie. It was very.....generic. I figured out the plot within the first 10 minutes, and that's not a good thing.

    2. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Meh, I had it figured out in 10 minutes as well but I enjoyed it for what it was, another reason to see Vash act like a goofball. I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking with it (though I would go for a redo of the series that follows the actual manga).

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Yeah It made me laugh. I guess I miss me some Trigun. It was nice to see the gang back together.

  5. Watching Dance on the Vampire Bund because it seems to be the only Anime on netflix that I haven't watch that is available in HD.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Gurren Lagann has been gone almost a year now XD. I wanted to watch it but by the time I got around to it, it was gone. Naruto and Inuyasha didn't have the dubs and Naruto was in 4:3 as well. They just removed a good chuck this past month. Corpse Princess is gone :(.

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      They've also have anime where they only have the second season, and took the 1st down when they got it like Spice and Wolf. Um WTF? How can I want to watch that If I haven't seen season one?

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Thats a shame.. If you ever see Gurren Lagann on there again, watch it ASAP before it disappears again. :P That series is beyond epic. :D

  6. Picked up Renegade Ops on Steam. 75% off at $3.75. A little retro fun from SEGA with a cheesy 90s style, overly cliche story to go with it.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I've been seeing that much more frequently. Shank was like that too if I remember correctly. and A.R.E.S. is unplayable without a twin stick controller. I tried to play it with a mouse and keyboard and it was beyond frustrating.

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Shank 1 came out for 360 first I believe. :P

  7. Just finished Issue #2 of The Star Wars, a lot more in common with A New Hope than than issue #1, but there are still glaring differences.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Are they still called lightsabers? I'm surprised they're not light swords.. :P

    2. DeathscytheX

      They haven't referred to them by name yet :P

  8. Just redeemed my Destiny Beta Key! Woo Hoo!

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Good deal. Now if you cancel your pre-order you'll have the beta code and poster.. then go to a different gamestop and pre-order it again and sell those bonuses on ebay. :P

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      LOL. I'd have to use a different identity or something, they want your powerup card or number to store you preorder under... I guess I could go cancel it and then preorder from best buy, and then cancel and preorder at amazon. XD

  10. Watched Ōkami-san & Her Seven Companions... I hate when an anime has a great story, but ends like there is a second season and there is not. Bastard villain, storyline is never fulfilled... gah.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      apparently a second season was conditional on ratings and DVD sales, and it didn't meat expectations... man that sucks. I wish it would have been a 24 episode season that ended the whole story ;_;

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      That sucks. Maybe it'll get an OVA later on to finish the series. I remember when InuYasha got shut down. I was watching the subs. It ended in 2004 and I had to wait until 2009 to see the end of the series when they made one final season.

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Hopefully. I love the narrator of the series, definitely one of the more funny ones. She calls Okami-San's flat chest "fan disservice" XD. Characters break the forth wall at times to acknowledge her comments about them. Good stuff.

  12. Got The Star Wars issue #3. Its interesting how Vader was more like Grand Moff Tarkin originally.

    1. Sledgstone
    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      They just introduced someone called Lord Valromum, so Its like Vader is 4 characters combined, but the only resemblance he has to the original is the cape and a helmet he briefly wears. Otherwise hes Grand Moff Tarkin.

  13. If I listened to Raptr, I'd say Eppy replaces sleep and dreams with League of Legends. :P

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      It's just a little site/widget that keeps track of all your gaming accounts stats and achievements. When someone on your friends list is playing a game it pops up similar to steam.

    2. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Yea, just another app for tracking stats and a gaming community (they also offer some nice rewards for certain games as well). I only joined because it was the only way to track things on my GameSpot account and stuck around. Speaking of which I should probably go befriend Epples on it.

    3. Sledgstone

  14. 3 episodes into Chaos;Head and I still don't know wtf is going on!

    1. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Just like Eppy I never got into it. Dropped it after three eps (more or less because I was confused and the group I was getting it from stalled)

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      The main character has so many "delusions" that its hard to distinguish whats real and whats not. Everyone is not who they seem to be... its like they tried way too hard to be mysterious or set up plot twists that they forgot to throw an actual story into it.

    3. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Heh, not the first time that's happened in anime. Plus it's based off a visual novel that had the same premise (I think, have never played it but have heard weird things about it) so we can just blame the original creators.

  15. The bipod sucks, its too picky where it wants to deploy. I end up having to hold my breath for the shots I want anyways. Want to shoot prone downhill? No bipod for you! Straight Pull FTW.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      "upgrade" how about just upgrade it?

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Definitely sounds like 40x sniping will be challenging. I got a bipod unlocked, I'll have to try it out. The biggest issue I had with bipods on BF3 was that sometimes it wouldn't let me move it in one direction. The bipod is supposed to limit the angles you can shoot with because its stationary on the ground, but sometimes i just wouldn't move at all or it would deploy with part of an object blocking it. I've gotten used to lifting it up and replacing it numerous times to get...

  16. The opener and the story missions on the Destiny Beta were great. It's really got me interested in the overall story. The Sparrow is smoother to operate, and the AI seems even more advanced. I even found a few grinder missions I missed during the Alpha.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Vg247 indicated that they are overpowered enemies and might always be like that no matter what level you are. You're suppose to summon your Sparrow and speed past them because they are guarding shortcuts across the map basically. Interesting.

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      So far that shortcut thing is proving to be false. I spawned my sparrow in that one location we found and met a dead end. It seemed the only outlet in that room. I ended up dying trying to get back out. I went to the cave from the alpha and it wouldn't allow me to spawn my sparrow.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I found a couple of underground areas that were like a shortcut with them in it. But it was more like a regular area and a room of to the side had them in it. So out want really like a shortcut at all. It's more like they are place holders blocking locations.

  17. HOLY SHIT double Tequalt just happend on GW2 tonight. 8 bonus chests! A lot of people left and we pulled off the defeat with little time to spare! EPIC!!!!

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Tequatl only appears every 3-4 hours and you're only going to get rewards once a 24hr period. Someone had a guild event to make him pop out again after we just beat him. People where headed to lions arch to deal with their loot including myself and my friends start yelling at me to come back. XD it was crazy.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Thats awesome. I had no idea a guild could trigger an event like that.

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Neither did I O_O. Someone mentioned it on the map chat before the first go around, but I think most disregarded it's a joke. Must have been a big guild with a lot of influence. Double teq loot in one day is no joke. Lol

  18. Had to step up as commander and organize Tequalt tonight.. wow... glad it all worked out in the end.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I like to be lazy XD, There were no commanders on the map and then people started asking who was in charge and what to do, I run over to north boat defense and no one was there.... I was like wtf.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      haha. That commander status really came in handy then. Maybe somebody streamed it? Next time you take command, tell someone to stream and save the video so you can save your epic moment. :D

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      It would look pretty boring telling people where to be and party up for 45 minutes XD Telling people were to stack on burn phase would be the only interesting part if you could see what was going on. :P

      Heh, you just might but who knows how the Iron Banner event is run loot wise (I have yet to try it). I'll be on at my usual time so it you're on we can do that or Strikes (still need 35 more vanguard marks for my sniper rifle).

  23. I've spent more gold on my Necro than any other character. I bought the most elite white dye for her today. So many complements on her looks XD!

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I still don't get the hoopla over Abyss. Its 3rd tier rare, and I don't care what people say, it is not darker than Midnight Ice. I've previewed it several times, and I just don't see it.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I think it's only darker if you have some top of the line monitor with amazing contrast, but it looks identical to midnight ice to me on the majority of armor pieces I have.

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      But I have a top of the line 24 inch monitor :P. It may look better on metallic surfaces, but on pure cloth is looks like garbage compared to Midnight Ice. It tries to hard to show off the "detail" I guess and ends up looking a little greyish. It doesn't do it for me. Crimson Red does a similar affect that works really well. I guess to each his own.

  24. I have a whole new understanding for Arah path sellers after tonight. 5g is a fair price for the time they put into beating this dungeon. X_x

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      TTS def makes for a confident dungeon run. Even with people dropping, one guy pleaded for a LFG, but the leader was insistent about TTS only. I can see why. An elitist would have raged over having 2 rangers in the party. I love Dungeon night, even if it takes longer than a PUG group for other dungeons, I'm all in for ones I'm familiar with like AC and HotW. Even if it takes longer, it's content I don't regularly do like world bosses, so I enjoy it more.

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I have no probs with speed runs, but when you are a slow ass guardian and you get downed trying to skip a mob it's embarrassing in a pug group with no thief. With TTS you can laugh it off. This really is the best guild to be in for a casual player that wants to experience the hardcore parts of the game.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I agree with that leader about tts only. Even one guy can be in the group and if someone gets a disconnect they can easily get another person in there and kick everyone else.

  25. Good to see Treyarch bringing back co-op to the campaign for Black Ops 3. It adds more replay value to the non-multiplayer part of the game, and makes the harder modes more enjoyable.

      Now that sounds like something I'd enjoy.

      Its great because its going to call for less scripted playthrough. And the mission maps will have to be more wide open.
