About to hop on some BF3

[Swarley]

$25 iTunes gift card and the sale today has me downloading games to my iPad 2 like crazy. I've already bought Angry Birds Seasons HD, GTA3, NBA Jam, and Command & Conquer Red Alert. Any suggestions from some more experienced mobile gamers out there?

At least it connects. My wife's bluray remote just took a dump one day when we were switching the receiver input while watching movie. It's just completely dead. Switched batteries, tried re-registering, everything. It doesn't make any sense.

On a side note, I just had yet another Wii remote charger take a dump one me. I initially had a Nyko one and one day I realize that one of the remotes is dead and won't hold a charge. I do some research and find out it's because leaving the remotes on the charges can cause that issue. And because I didn't play the Wii much the controllers were constantly sitting on the charger.

So I just bite the bullet and buy a new Energizer charging station. This time after the controllers fully charge I take them off. I've only used the thing a few times and had taken the controllers off the charger and hadn't used them in months. I go to use them the other day and both are dead. No biggie, right? I'll just place them on the charger. Nope. They sit on the charger for five minutes and then the read lights just flash. I google it because the tiny manual that came with the charger is useless and only find a few articles. The one basically says this issue can occur if you don't leave the controllers on the docking station.

Are you fucking kidding me? So, the first charger fucked the batteries up when you left them charging and now this one is the exact opposite?!?

And to top it off now one of my controllers is as dead as that bluray remote. I've tried putting regular batteries in it, re-synching, etc. Nothing. Awesome.

I'm the same way with time gapping play with the Wii. I've used regular batteries in fear of what you've just gone through.

Does anyone have any Steam games/coupons they want to trade?

[JBregz]

Anybody want to squad up on BF3?

PS3.

I think I'm going to pick up a Sony 7.1 headset for my PS3 soon. My regular bluetooth mic seems to be getting more unreliable lately.

This whole event has given me crap so far. I have 9 pieces of coal, a 25% off coupon for Valve and one for Square/Eidos, a 10% off coupon for Ubisoft, and a 50% off coupon for Greed Corp (which is 75% off now anyway).

I definitely recommend getting one. I got the Turtle Beach PX5 headset and it is so much nicer. With all the noise cancellations and audio presets.

Finished up Green Lantern:Rise of the Manhunters and 1000g scored it, it wasnt a bad movie tie-in, pretty enjoyable; but strictly a rental.

Gonna send it in to Gamefly and get Dead Island, STRIKE team takes over..

now Does ANYONE wanna finish off some spec ops in MW3[360]? let me know

I got Serious Sam: The Second Encounter and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath (along with shitty Valve 25% off and Bit.Trip Runner 50% coupons). I don't have either but there are definitely different older games I would rather have if anyone's interested.

I fucked Super Mario 3D Land's shit up. I got all the star coins on ALL of the levels, including the Special Worlds. Some of the Special World levels were a bitch.

I was also able to get my NCAA OD game out of the way with my fifth win in a row to go 9-3.

Plus the STRIKE Team represented. We ran through the RAAM's Shadow DLC and finally polished off that Myrhha bitch to finish off the Insane playthrough. The new STRIKE Team member Big Daddy was the key I think. It only took us two tries.

Pretty successful gaming day me thinks.

JMS u duckin me bro?

thought u were down for spec ops

[BrntO4Life]

Finally beat AC: Brotherhood. The end was WTF-worthy and made me feel sad for the first time since playing ME2.

I still have the DLC sequence to play, though.

I've been thinking about getting Dead Island as well to co-op with you guys. Also thinking about Renegade Ops to find some 4-player co-op action.

Sorry bro....I am lazy. What is probably going to happen is I am going to ask you and then your busy and vice versa.

Trying to finish LA Noire.

Definitley get RO. The only other people here that have it for Xbox I think are JMS and Swarley. And trying to hook up with JMS to play anything is nigh impossible, which brings me to...

Yeah Med. You will quickly learn that trying to co-op a game with JMS is harder than it sounds. When he is free he is usually playing Forza or NCAA.

Yeah NCAA takes up a lot of my nights and Forza takes up my Monday.

Lets play Renegade OPS!!! We basically have to schedule it....sorry I dont have alot of free time.....it is usally late at nite ans some times I pass out on the couch for a little bit with the controller in hand.

I can play anything Friday night!! But we need to schedule it otherwise I will drag my feet.
