When do you sleep?

You got your schmancy pants 8 figure jerb downtown NY
You got a build your own fantasy house project out in the burbs
You're the reigning whiffleball champion of the universe
You got a wife
You got kids (wait I'm not sure about this one)
I imagine you eat, drink, shit and shower like the rest of us (most of us)

Finish 3 games? No problem?

Sorry I didnt specify. 70% done with Diablo 3, 75% done with Tomb Raider, and 50% done with Spec ops. Also this is a goal...I am curious if I actually finish one game. Yeah that might be 10 hours of gameplay...hmm doubtful.

No kids, no pets...working on the kids part though. In fact I think I may get some action tonite.

About 15 minutes away from the final boss in Tomb Raider and the game save is glitched and I can't progress in the story.

oh lord that sucks....I will have to make a extra save tonite.

It happened at Chasm Stronghold. I think it may only be a glitch on PC though.

Normally I don't watch these videos but I just happened to watch this one and its fucking crazy how easy it is for a random person to accidently get suckered in with this shitty fucking game. How is this not against the law or some policy on the istore.

Ive hacked a psp... what are the best psp games?

[Sven Draconian]

I got $10 from PSN, any suggestions on what to get? I'd prefer an action based game I guess, but anything solid will do.

Guacamelee is pretty cool and has a lot of personality. I don't know if I love it enough to recommend it, but it might have a demo that would definitely be worth checking out (have you played Super Metroid or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? It has a lot in common with aspects of those games, except you play a luchadore). It's 14.99 I think. Are you talking smaller games (like PSN only) or full on digital releases? Sony's selection of full digital games is pretty staggering and I'd have to really think on what I'd currently recommend (seeing some stuff that you've played and liked would also help).

lol just trolled the shit out of some guy who works for IGN.

Seriously is MAG being revived after years of me and pad(My hero) playing alone

Guacamelee is awesome. Especially if you like old school games. Figuring out boss patterns, super tough platforming (only optional if you want 100%), so many abilities and collectibles to find. Plus the humor is great and there are so many easter eggs and nods to previous games, most of which are just hidden in the background.

So I'm pretty sure my PS3 finally shit the bed. I didn't touch it at all today and then went to turn it on just now and it turned itself right back off. Whatever. Only sucks that there's a game in it right now, but I'm thinking about taking it to Gamestop tomorrow and seeing if I can trade it in or something (also get another copy of Arkham City since mine is stuck inside the console and I only bought it a few days ago so the return policy is still valid)

But I was looking to maybe pick this bad boy up as well: http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/consoles...-bundle/107665

Gamestop won't take it if it's broken. They actually test the consoles to make sure they work while you're in the store.

i thought they did take broken consoles? (at a much less trade-in price)

guess it depends how "broke" it really is, if its a simple fix or just straight up dead.

[j.hen]

Well I don't want it so I'd just give it to them if it came to that. It'd be nice if they could get my game out of the console for me though. I was going to take it apart but I don't think any toolbox in America has the tools to open that thing. You need some special Japanese tools to bypass some of the screws.

Pretty sure they don't. I was in a GS a few weeks ago and some kid was in there with his mother trying to trade in a 360 I believe. They hooked it up andthe disc tray wouldn't opne and they told them they couldn't give him anything because it didn't work. The mom was pretty pissed. LOL.

So the only thing I'd lose are my saves right? All of my PSN purchases are tied to my PSN account which I can sync to the new system and then download em all over again, correct?

Would suck to lose those saves.... but I had barely started Arkham City and I'm always down to start from scratch on games like the Mass Effect trilogy and Sleeping Dogs.
