TL;DR - Kid had a stroke when he was 14 and lost the use of his right arm. IGN wrote an interest piece about how he relearned to do everything Lefty, including gaming.

what about knubb? seriously WTF

 

[KNUBB]

He is an attention whore.

Finally won a national championship at Western Kentucky in my NCAA 12 dynasty. Took me 6 years. Then I got back into some inFamous and played a couple missions. Going to have to get back on that one. inFamous 2 is on sale at Best Buy for $45, so I may go pick that up tomorrow with my $10 RZ coupon.

 

[Swarley]

Picked up inFamous 2 today from Best Buy. Traded in Black Ops, b/c I'll never be touching that game again, and they said if I reserved a game I could get $12 more in store credit. I already have quite a few reserved, so I just went ahead and reserved Goldeneye Reloaded to get the extra trade in credit.

Hit a very nice stride in attempting to get through Demon's Souls again (for the first time). Knocked out 4 bosses tonight, The Dragon God (easy), the Maneaters (fucking hard until I realized the middle area that you could roll in without flying off of the ledge), the Penetrator (god bless Biorr) and finally the Old Monk (whomever was summoned to control his phantom gave me a hell of a run...and all that finished it was a couple spammed Firestorms). I can see the appeal of the game now. The sense of accomplishment is unlike anything I've played in a game in a long time. It is PUNISHING though, and I'm glad I had a friend to give me some pointers about what not to do (like don't use up your Demon's souls just because you're desperate for more souls).

I have the Blue Dragon in 1-4, the False King in 1-4, the Archdemon in 4-3 whose name I can't remember, and then all of level 5, which I have been avoiding like the plague.

Trekking through the Valley of Defilement (level 5) can be a real pain in the ass (I found the bosses to be relatively easy though). Just make sure you have the Poison and Plague resistance rings and/or a lot of lotuses for both.

I played my first game of Madden on 360 yesterday and it was like night and day in comparison to the PS3 version.

That headset 360 only?

that really sucks...

but yea, 360's will do that....

I actually feel like its a kind of rite of passage to have your 360 die on you, it's happened to almost all of us...to some more than once...

...maybe it can come with achievement points or a notice next to your gamer profile, like 5 years on Live and 2 360 deaths

:smug2:

No it works with both. I just played Black Ops with bones and jeez the headset is awesome you can hear fucking everything. I could never go back to a standard one.

How much was it?

 

[Leftwich]

70 but well worth the investment. They had another turtle beach headset just for the 360 that i was looking at but seeing as i don't have a headset for the ps3 i might as well kill 2 birds with one stone.
