I got that Thief game going. It's kinda interesting. I noticed there is 1 button for fighting.

Out of curiosity; what is wrong with anime?
Nothing 'wrong' with it, just not my deal. The closest I ever got was Speedracer, even Initial D couldn't hold my interest.

I think that I never would've noticed it if I hadn't joined the Marines. Some of those guys live and breathe the stuff. Just 'meh' to me. I'm not into fantasy as a genre and anime seems to fall under that umbrella.

I played about an hour or so of Dying Light. It's pretty fun. When it turns dark it actually gets my blood pumping and is really scary.

Tried playing Transistor a bit last night. The art style is whatever... not really digging the gameplay. Oh well, free and all that.

Why is it so tough to find a Wii U Pro controller anywhere?

Mike Tyson's punch out is now a $40 game.

My hobby of collecting NES games is probably coming to an end soon. The game prices are just ridiculous now. I have slightly over 500 individual NES games, and there is probably about 100 I can get for a reasonable price, but the other 150 or so on top of that is crazy. Most range from $100-to a few grand. Woof.

Is MTP more expensive because he's a rapist that lost his franchise and you're seeking an early label variant?

No, I already have that game. (It was the first one I ever got back in 1988 when I got my NES). I just happened to see it and it was a common game. Just amazed it is fetching $40, especially being so common.

Crap I know I have at least a shoebox full of NES games. Off the top of my head I think I have Baseball Stars, Bubble Bobble, Metal Gear, and Metroid.

You could probably get $75-100 for those 4 games alone.

If she wants to, let me know and PM some of the games. I'd be interested.

Don't remember exactly, but I'd say around the same as ALTTP. Maybe a bit extra. Depends on if you decide to get 100 %.

I started using PS Now to stream Mass Effect 2 (a PS3 game) on my PS4.

It works fine, but at some point during playing for the first ~hour my system shut down and would not boot back up. For a week, my system would not start. I'd hit the power button, and it'd auto shut down. I tried to start it in safe mode, but it'd just turn back off. Last weekend, it magically started working again. I started using PS Now again to stream ME2 without any issues. Anyone else experience anything like this?

It could be The Black Knight satellite's fault

I play video games, but don't go to conventions, don't read magazines or am part of any online message board type of thing for game, but this seems pretty far fetched. Obviously it's law and order, but is this even remotely close to how it actually goes down?

So is Destiny really as good as people are saying?
Like I said, I've only played 2 missions, but so far I'm enjoying it. haven't really gotten into the story line just yet.
I've made it to the third planet (Venus). It's a blast, espically if you can round up some friends. I can't wait to level up and try the endgame raids. I read they where really difficult. It sounds awesome and I can't wait to check it out.
Yes, they're insanely difficult. Literally spent the last 4-5 hours doing Vault of Glass with 2 friends and random people we picked up off of Reddit. One of the most frustrating game experiences I've had in a long time.
