Mister Jack

I'm inclined to agree with this. A ton of the xbone purchases during the season were by parents or grandparents who wanted to get the kids a nice gift and went with the less expensive option. Everyone I talked to who bought it for themselves did it specifically because of the bundle deal, and this was a lot of people. I realize this is just anecdotal but I imagine this was the case in more than just my area.

I just beat Far Cry 4. It's a pretty solid addition to the franchise and it is improved over the already very good Far Cry 3. However, the improvements are minor, so I feel like the series is in danger of becoming stagnant if it rushes out another sequel too soon. They should take a few years off to think of a way to really make it feel new again. I also have some major gripes about the story. Despite all those complaints, I still enjoyed the game quite a bit. I'm just a little tired of the Far Cry writers trying to be deep, because they suck at it.

Have you added the words to your dictionary? I have no problem with this using SwiftKey. Yup. Still does it.

Ah. Well it's still a good idea at any rate.

I know, but even the third-party ones do it. At least, all the ones I've tried.

Don't most RPGs keep multiple autosaves now? I know that when my Dragon Age save got corrupted, I was able to download a cloud autosave from thirty minutes earlier.

Hey smartphone manufacturers, I'm an adult and sometimes I use adult language in my messages. I'm not an ornithologist. I'm not talking about ducks all the time. It's understandable the first few times but my phone should know by now that I am not a duck enthusiast. Quit censoring me, ya fucks.

Don't tell him. He hasn't read the thirteenth amendment.

Also got 100 dollars in gift cards and 300 in cash.

A big part of me wants to say Binding of Isaac: Rebirth simply for all the crazy moments it's given me and the sheer amount of replayability it's offered. I know some would say that a remake shouldn't be a contender, but honestly this new version is so improved that comparing it to the original is like apples and oranges. They didn't just add content or smooth it over, they completely rebuilt the game from the ground up.

So I got on my PS4 today and it was making me do all the first-time setup stuff again that I had already done the day before after changing hard drives. I thought to myself "Oh god, all my data is gone" but everything I downloaded last night was still there, even the stuff it was set to download while it was in rest mode. What's up with that?

I rented it on my PS4 using the youtube app. Well, actually I had to rent it using my PC on youtube and then I watched it on my HDTV using the youtube PS4 app.

You folks have a nice Christmas? Get some cool stuff? By all means, brag about it here.

Okay, I really like the whole "start playing a game before it finishes downloading" feature that's become a thing in the last year or so, but there needs to be some consistency here. While reinstalling all my PS4 games onto my hard drive, the download list in the main menu will say it's finished, except it's not finished. It's just "here's a certain amount we dictate the game will be playable at." The problem is, I can't tell just how much of the game is playable from that. Injustice has the story mode installed once the bar is full, which is fine, but Plants vs. Zombies has nothing but a glorified tutorial when the game hits 60%. What I'd like to see is the download bars marked with segments or something so you can see at which percentage the game will be playable and still know how much you have to go. If the download page came with information listing which parts of the game are accessible at which points in the download, that would be even better.

Some cross-save games have separate trophy lists, but when you share the save between platforms it unlocks the trophy an additional time.

It's been a while but I don't think Strider has that option.

Is the sound kind of fucked up with Strider? It never sounded quite right to me, even after reinstalls. The sound effects are too low and the music is too high. I dunno if it's just me.

I don't even remember what that is.

Sometimes when I'm trying to post multiple pictures I'll get an error saying I'm not allowed to use "this extension" on this forum. Exactly what file extension does this place not support?

So I got around to seeing The Interview too. I was planning to see it in a local independent theater with a friend, but the show was completely sold out so we ended up going back to my place and renting it on youtube instead (Why only youtube? Why not PSN? Blech.) Anyway, I'm of the same opinion as Wally. It's not as funny as Pineapple Express or This is the End but I wasn't bored or anything. It'll sound weird to say this for a comedy but I was more invested in the story than the jokes. I wanted to see if the writers had the balls to actually go through with killing Kim Jong Un. It was alright, but I still hope it becomes a huge success, not just for the sake of sticking it to Kim but because this whole digital distribution thing was something I thought would take decades to become a legit practice for major film releases. I want this movie to make a ton of money so Sony and then other studios will finally go "hey, maybe this same day digital release thing isn't such a bad idea after all."

AMERICA WILL NEVER FALL TO COMMUNIST INVASION

This is exactly why online only games that aren't MMOs should never be a thing. No, Destiny is not an MMO, no matter how much Bungie wishes it was.

I see. I guess I was just lucky then. I'd be surprised if Sony doesn't extend the sale a few days once psn is back to normal. I mean they are obviously aware of what's happening. Ending the sale while psn is down would just mean the hackers win. Plus, EVERYONE would be super pissed at them.
