  1. Anyone who plans on getting AC: Revelations (on 360/PS3), wait until Black Friday when it will be $35 at Best Buy!

      What a kick in the ass that as a PC gamer I have to wait until 5 days AFTER black friday just for the privilege of paying $50 for it.

      I don't think that applies to Canada, though :(

      Or, you know, anywhere else in the world that isn't the US.

  2. Serious? Alright, but that one's called "Amazon Appstore for Android" or "Amazon Appstore" if you want to cut off the OS name. Apple's app store is still the one generally referred to as "the app store" because that's its name: The App Store. Kinda the reason why Amazon makes "app" and "store" one word as well. EDIT: Though, I guess to drive the nail further, "Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light" in mobile form is only available on the iOS platform.
  3. I don't know how, but a friend of mine in Japan has already got a copy. On Facebook, his post about the game has given me the biggest urge to penny pincher to make sure when I do (not if) get the game I'm not screwing myself financially.
  4. iOS = "The App Store" Android = "Android Market"
  5. A Facebook friend of mine linked to the same video, but titled it "The Death of Rick Perry's Presidential Campaign." I find it hilarious, but at the same time I become nervous at the prospect a potential President of the United States being the kind of guy to say "Oops."
  6. I had a class today where we attended a on-campus lecture. I didn't have high hopes, but I was surprisingly proved wrong. The topic was "Online Girl Games and Digital Media Literacy." The speaker used Avatar: The Last Airbender and the Nintendo Wii as examples, and guess what; she actually knew what she was talking about! I acutally learned something too.

      That sounds fascinating! You should summarize some of what you learned and put it in the forum for me to read!

       

      Please?

      Possibly. Maybe. Eventually.

       

      Probably a PM.

  7. I hope I don't step on anyone's toes, but after watching Nancy Pelosi on The Daily Show, it reminds me of why I ever so hate politics. Essentially, she went into a full-on gush of "Democrats are better because Republicans are vile, despicable people!" I don't claim to be a part of any party, to make matters clear. As an outsider, all I see is what looks very similar to "fanboyism." Supposedly, back when I was a child, Democrats and Republicans actually, get this, worked together to improve the country. That's got to be fairy tale because for the last decade I'm pretty sure the two parties have been in an everlasting gladiator duel.
  8. *stares at gut* ...I should probably begin exercising again.

      I feel the same. I used to be in great shape, but I started drinking and stopped exercising about the same time. Not a good combo.

      Society puts so much pressure on us men to be pretty. I blame Cosmo. Definitely.

      Ugh... Why is everyone talking about exercise lately? I'm starting to feel guilty for being lazy too.

  9. This was the highlight of my day, and probably one of my best purchases. If you take a gander online, you'll see that the average asking price of this box set in Brand New condition is over $300. Pfft, I really enjoy the Tenchi Muyo OVAs, but not "$300" much. Likewise, "Used" is still a bit pricey. Sometimes it's as low at $70, though the condition is probably around "good." There are times were you can find someone who actually took very good care of their DVDs and $80-$90 doesn't seem that bad when compared to $349.99. Anyway, to the point, I was at my local FYE yesterday and there in the Used Anime aisle was this exact box set. The price: $60! I didn't go for it right away because truthfully I couldn't spring for a $60 DVD purchase. Most of the time "$60+DVD" doesn't equal "justifiable" in my mind. Last time I did that was back in '06 for the FLCL Ultimate Edition DVD box set. I love FLCL, in case you didn't know. However, FYE has a free trial of their "Backstage Pass VIP" program where you get 10% off purchases. The membership is $11.99 /month, so yeah I never bothered with it. However, a free trial also comes with some coupons. The only good one was the "30% off a Used DVD" coupon. So here's the breakdown: $59.99 with 10% discount: $53.99 $53.99 with 30% discount: $37.80 Sales taxes: $2.59 Total: $40.39 Oh, but I also traded in my two volumes of Tenchi Muyo. I mean, I'm getting the box set after all. 40.39 - 4.38 = 36.01 Yes, I got the box set for $36.01! That's a few cents high of 40% off!
  10. Except Cowboy Bebop was a '98 anime, so that negates that! Speaking of... Naruto > Bleach In terms of the manga, cause right now, Naruto is far more exciting than... "whatever" Bleach is planning on doing for the next couple chapters.
  11. I've recently been listening to Skrillex (Sonny Moore) since about a month (or so) ago there was a concert a city over. One of my friends went and took some pictures. Then someone made a Scott Pilgrim vs. Skrillex music video. I guess "Kill Everbody" was used for one of the Uncharted 3 multiplayer videos too. Anyway, I began listening and I'm still a little on the fence. I did get "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" for $4.50, so definitely worth an exploratory listen. I heard Weekends on Pandora and I really like that song, but yeah; what do you guys think of Skrillex?
  12. Tenchi Muyo OVA DVD Box Set, like the one from 2000, is Used and $60 at my local FYE. There still seems to be no word on FUNimation releasing a Blu-ray collection soon (legal disputes in Japan, etc), so I'm thinking of going for it.

      It's a great set of arguably the only good harem show. I have it on LD and DVD.

  13. http://runt-of-the-web.com/the-sad-world-of-the-misunderstood-house-spider I'm still going to crush them, sadly.
  14. Having two Blue-Eyes White Dragons was p cool as a lil' dork. Still have my deck at home, but I long stopped (even before the GX cards). Had a pretty good deck, just little actual experience playing aside from the decent video games. Memories > Bills
  15. When I get Skyward Sword, I will open my windows, turn my television's volume to MAXIMUM and have the main theme play. Forget the haters! If they can blast their mediocre pop-money trash, I can blast Zelda until someone breaks into my apartment and turns down the volume themselves.
  16. Highlight of the Day: Having a group of deer walk in front of me while walking to car. FML Moment: The rear passenger door getting scraped by a concrete corner. FFFUUUUUUUU......

  17. Honestly, I can't play a "normal" military/combat FPS anymore. There has to be something to make it unique/different to separate it. BioShock, Deus Ex, Fallout, Killzone, even Borderlands (it is fun with friends).
  18. It's like when students want to skip sex ed for free time, so they state "my religion" and go on their way... ....except this time kids are going to get hurt with a "just kidding" clause.
  19. This explains deja vu, but as I thought, "deja vu" is when you have no preconceived reason as to why the event is familiar. It's just "familiar." Current top comment talks about the dream aspect, at least, in the idea that it's confused for deja vu. Either way, now I know what those muscle spasms before I sleep are called: Hypnagogic Jerk. Oh, and it's nice to know about the other vu's out there.
  20. Ugh, don't remind me of Sonic Heroes! Seriously, have I told anyone on PXOD (or previous) about how Sonic Heroes is the only game that has resulted in a broken controller through a raging Falcon Punch? Yeah, that's how I lost my WaveBird. (Generations seems to have fixed the grinding, like, by TENFOLD!)
  21. So many of my friends are celebrating "Guy Fawkes Day," but I don't have the heart to tell them who the historical Guy Fawkes was, a.k.a. an English Catholic terrorist.

      It was once a celebration of the king's survival and burning effigies of Fawkes... I wonder when it shifted to a celebration of him? Or if it even has?

      The Internet celebrates him like he was the biggest thing since agriculture.

      Yeah it used to be an anti-catholic thing. Over the centuries that was subdued, so it kinda just became "bonfire night" then someone at 4Chan watch V for Vendetta. Someone yesterday was even saying they thought the "remember remember" part of it was just made-up for the film. :/

  22. I've got things to distract me, but it's getting harder and harder not to expect this to become an instant classic. I'm glad I have my Wii still in my room. The PS3 is out in the living room with the 42" HDTV. It's like having a timeshare, only it's a TV.
  23. Nope, but the CCTV camera servers, if you hack them, will show you all the camera locations for the area. I had a marked map offline in hand, but as I was trying to figure out which one could possibly be the one I had not destroyed, I came across the server. So yep, I didn't use an online source! Well, truthfully, the "realtor" riddle I couldn't figure out. The map sorta goofs when you're inside Zsasz's hideout, so I didn't realize the riddle was inside the glass room. It seriously made it look like it was at some far end of the complex.
