  1. Well.. I dunno. That kind of reminds me of a scene in the wolfenstein the new order. Slight spoiler.. I found some nuke launch codes and Blazkowicz decides to carve the numbers into his forearm and then rip that chunk of skin off and puts it in his pocket. And on the stand right next to the nuke codes was a notepad and pencil. I guess the cat serves as much purpose as that notepad?
  2. https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/days-of-play/cid=STORE-MSF77008-DAYSOFPLAY17LP Uncharted 4 is $20. I just bought it. I might have to put Mass Effect on the back burner.
  3. I haven't played a Quake game since the original. Its probably a big deal in the new game since BJ Blazkowicz's signature style is dual wielding almost every gun he can get his hands on. Dual assault rifles with grenade launcher attachments or dual tactical shotguns is quite fun to mow down enemies with.
  4. I'm hyped for this game. I'm surprised BJ Blazkowicz survived the first game considering how it ended. The cat headed monkey makes sense because of Nazis. lol. These Wolfenstein games take place in an alternative time line where Nazis won World War 2. Since the Nazis took control of the planet, they have continued genetic experimentation, human and animal testing, robotics, space exploration, etc. They also enslaved a large chunk of the world's population. Since Nazi's don't have to pay for slave labor, health insurance, etc. all that money gets funneled into new scientific advancements. They had a moon base in Wolfenstein the New Order.. AI robotic sentry dogs that were shown in this trailer, laser weapons, tripod walkers that were the equivilant of metal gears.. all kinds of crazy stuff. The plot was actually really good. I still haven't played the prequel yet, but I'm really looking forward to this sequel.
  5. I like the idea of having traditional classes. In battlefront 1 everyone was running with a sniper rifle anyway until it got nerfed. They'll do the same with battlefront 2. Once to many ppl use a rifle it'll get nerfed into the ground like the martini. I'm glad the dlc won't get milked for another season pass. Blizzard's Overwatch finally made EA realize a fps game can be hugely profitable by not double charging it's players for maps and not seperating the player base ensures the longevity of the game.
  6. Alot of comments are saying it's a sci-fi attack on titan game because a "giant wall" keeps the enemies at bay. I look forward to seeing some gameplay but with it being bioware I'll take it with a grain of salt. Remember that 4k Mass Effect Andromeda trailer that got everyone hyped? And then on release those facial animations... these companies never deliver what they hype.
  7. My brother had a similar issue with a game and ended up calling sony customer support. They had him log into his psn account via a PC web browser, refreshed his list on there and set the game to download through the browser, which in turn auto started the download on his ps4. It worked for him. Turned out there was some issue with the psn store thru the ps4 that wouldn't actually trigger the download even though it says it did. If that doesn't work, I'd call sony tech support. Also make sure your system is up to date. Usually the ps4 will block access to the psn store, friend's list, etc until you have the most recent firmware, but I had, on one occasion, noticed my ps4 didn't update and didn't prompt me to update. I had weird EA errors connecting to battlefield 1. I thought EA servers were screwed up but they weren't so I checked to see if I had a failed BF1 update in my download list and it turned out my ps4 downloaded a system update but never installed it while still giving me access to everything else like it was all up to date. After I ran the update everything ran fine.
  8. Thats odd. Maybe deleting the entire game and re-downloading all of it is the only way to fix it.. but then again, doing that you'd loose all your progress. Is it like the tell tale games where you can play ep 5 standalone and the game auto picks your previous choices? That would suck to not carry over progress tho.
  9. World versus World in Guild Wars 2 is fun again. I've played a little over an hour a night for the last 2 nights and I haven't had that much fun in WvW since I was power leveling my second character almost 3 years ago. I think I'll upload a video later tomorrow. The zerg rushes are real. XD I saved a couple videos but the one I really wanted didn't save for some reason. We had a full on battle of 3 armies, so epic. XD

      You must have gotten on after I quit out last night. I was about to give up playing any WvW but then I saw Cloud Fly logged on, so I camped at a waypoint with him and waited about 15 mins for a zerg to form. Best hour of WvW I've ever had. :D I took a couple videos and I'll check them later and upload. Epic battles. Because there was no queue on any of the borderlands at the time, we kept swapping between each of the borderlands annihilating enemy zergs thanks to the scouts we had in place. XD

      Resistance works great on warrior in pvp when I need to pop it. It makes you immune to condi damage but does not cleanse the condi from you. You can always tell when resistance is on because its represented as three glowing orbs all tethered together circling around you. Its another reason why healing signet is so strong on warrior. The constant HP regen is amazing, but then if you get condi bombed, you pop healing signet for the heal and the resistance, then use endure pain to negate physical damage while healing signet comes off cool down to resume regen healing. I don't know what skills or traits rev has for resistance but a rev can share that resistance with an entire group which can make them extremely useful in wvw.

      I don't know how in the hell Cloud Fly survives as much as he does in WvW. Hes running bersker with healing signet, hammer and sword/(torch i think?). Sword is condi for warrior and hammer is all CC. I need to find out what his build is. If hes running with berserker stats then he must be using the defense trait line for the traited endure pain and extra healing regen traits. That guy is impressive as all hell in WvW.

      He must have a good network of scouts on discord because he always knows where to go to stop the enemies from taking the keeps and where the enemy siege is when we take something. The Borderland hoping was great. After we crushed them on FABL, they came back again and we destroyed them and then chased the rest across the map killing more to teach them a lesson. XD we were even killing them in the water. I'm glad you got to experience his commanding. That food he drops helps too with the 20% less damage from condi and when stunned.

      That food was useful and it surprised me how beneficial it was. My video card capture software does not like wvw. One of my videos saved with no audio. One didn't finish encoding and is unwatchable and all my videos since the windows 10 creators update has been full of endless stutter issues. 😒 the stuttering might be because of wvw causing to much strain on my cpu tho. Either that or its a strain on my hard drive read/ write. I'll have to take a couple videos of pvp to see if it's just a wvw issue for me.

  10. Hmm.. After I play this game I will re-visit this topic with fresh eyes. lol. Any idea why Ep 5 doesn't work on your PS4? Did you try deleting it and re-downloading just that ep?
  11. Life Is Strange looks good. Killing Floor 2 looks like an endless horde mode game tho.
  12. The cost for the rights to produce the anime in the US must be ridiculous for the prices to be as high as they are. I'd rather pay $7 for a one month subscription to Funi and marathon a crap load of series and then cancel my subscription. It still makes no sense to me tho. In comparison the actors in the Big Bang Theory all make at least $1 million per episode and thats just the actors, doesn't even count the cost of the production, music rights, etc.. and yet I can buy seasons 1-9 bluray boxset for $50. But that will only get me 2 seasons of Yu Yu Hakusho which cost way way way less to make and easily recovered its production costs over the last 20 years since its release.
  13. LMAO! I just mentioned the spider-man reboots in the AoT topic. I'm burned out on alot of the Origin story movies too. Like if Superman gets rebooted again 5+ years from now I'll never watch it. Some characters shouldn't need origin stories anymore at this point. If they want to make a new X-Men movie at this point with a new Wolverine, they should just do it. Start the movie with them all fighting the sentinels within the first 5 minutes. People will see the new guy bust out his metal claws and everyone will know its Wolverine. Done. Get on with the plot. Instead, Fox will cast a new Wolverine and probably redo the entire origin story again because for some damn reason they think the entire fan base are idiots and can't realize who it is and what motivates them. Meanwhile at Marvel, the re-casted Bruce Banner/Hulk and didn't give a damn anymore about the previous Hulk movie. Well done Marvel. Guardians of the Galaxy did a better origin story with their characters than they did with Dr Strange. In GoG, they were all full power from start and the origin story was basically how they became a team together because of how their paths crossed through the major plot line.
  14. Animators in Japan get paid horrible.. makes sense why so many anime look horrible now and then get re-animated scenes for the blu ray releases. It didn't make sense to me until now. They must be churning out crappy animation for pennies on the dollar to meet broadcast deadlines and then to encourage people to buy the blurays they actually give everyone the animation that should have came out initially. (wow.. wtf.. I guess we can embed reddit links here since that last upgrade I did. That surprised me. ) Another example: http://www.dorkly.com/post/81237/anime-tv-blu-ray Back to AoT.. I've only read a few chapters of the manga since the original season aired. From what I saw there is still hardly that much material to even turn into a second season at this point. I haven't watched any of this new season yet, but I am surprised they didn't turn it into a full 24 eps.. but if they did then season 3 wouldn't happen for another 3-4 years at this rate. I don't read nearly as much manga as I used to, but not many mangaka can make enough content in a single chapter that could fill an entire episode in an anime. Then the anime catches up, we get all these filler eps and usually some badly animated episodes (I've always noticed that some seasons, but mostly filler arcs in different series are usually animated poorly). But lately more anime keeps having consistently badly animated episodes. These anime studios should pay their employees more.. and if these studios want to actually make more money, they should charge cheaper prices for the blurays. Seriously.. why the fuck does Yu Yu Hakusho still cost roughly $25 a season on bluray. The series is 25 years old now. I bought all three of the Lord of The Rings movies in a bluray boxset for $15 and LoTR definitely costed far more to make than Yu Yu Hakusho. I bet the studio that made the Attack on Titan series was probably under contract to make a new season to retain the rights to it. Its the same reason why every 3 years or so a new Terminator movie comes out or Fox makes yet another Fantastic Four movie. Fox has to keep making Fantastic Four and Spiderman movies every couple years or the rights revert back to Marvel. Thats why Spider-man has been rebooted so many times now.
  15. This bothered me at first too, but it makes sense not to drag it out. Too many movies spend the first 1 to 1 1/2 hours just setting up characters and then rush through the second half of the movie. I'd rather see more action and adventure than watch an actor try to build up his character for half the movie. Iron Man 3 was such a let down compared to the first 2. About 70% of that movie was Tony Stark having PTSD and not being Iron Man. x_x
  16. The latest chapter of One Piece just finished up Big Mom's origin story (only a couple chapters long).. she is a f*cking monster. O_O

  17. Ohh.. A remaster of Super Metroid would be amazing. I loved that game back in the day.
  18. Gameshow network.. The dealership I always go to end up having NBC on all the time. There was always a remote sitting there on a bench with some magazines so someone could change the channel, but nobody would touch it. Probably in fear that someone would be offended that we changed the channel the other people were watching. But one day I was the only one there. I grabbed that remote and found out it had no batteries in it. It was all a setup just to crush my hopes that I had any control there. Did you get the new Blaster Master yet? That should run great on battery life too.
  19. I finished reading The Hobbit for the first time. Great book but I definitely liked the movies more. It's amazing how they took 40 pages at the end of the book about the battle of the five armies and turned it into an entire 2 1/2 hour movie. Lol. Gandalf didn't seem as powerful as he was in the movies but close enough. But the dwarves in the book were nothing like in the movies. The dwarves hardly fought at all in the book until the very end. They often relied on Gandalf or Bikbo to save them in every situation. Wtf. But the biggest difference I  the book compared to the movies was that Bilbo told them all about the ring. Lol. It wasn't even a secret. They were shocked at first but then he used it constantly.. he even had it on for a solid 2 weeks while the dwarves were imprisoned buy the elves. O_O

      I bet if I'd have read the book years ago before seeing the recent movies I'd have liked the book more because it would have been established for me. I got the entire hobbit/LoTR book collection during an amazon sale a year ago. I've just recently started reading them all. I'm on book one of LoTR now.

      Good luck with that, out of all the LOTR books Fellowship is an extremely boring read (even though it has one of my favorite characters in it). It has it's high points but it drags on for what feels like forever (Moria is about the only high point of the whole book).

      Honestly if I'd of seen the movies first I'd probably be looking at it the same way as you. I power read the LOTR books a month before the first movie came out and then read The Hobbit about a month after said movie came out (that was back when I was reading a new book like ever other week (I miss those days when I had the free time to read, now books just pile up and I never seem to get around to reading them)).

      I hear that about free time. Most of my reading takes place in the bathroom. XD Or when the power is out or I'm stuck in some waiting room and I remembered to bring my book. I used to read on every one of my lunch breaks but I haven't done that in over a year, so it takes me quite a bit longer to read a book now. Took me about a month to read the Hobbit.
