I use it on my PC. I like my DS4 more overall, but for shooters the Xbone is superior. The sticks feel fantastic and are made in a way which give more precision than other controllers. Shoulder buttons (not triggers, they're more separate but equal) and D-Pad are really inferior to the DS4 though.

I wonder how bad the search term "destiny rpg" and the equivalent has fucked with the NSA or any government monitoring system? There's probably interns and drones freaking the fuck out.

Shit, imagine if they have porn search engines cross-referenced with google: Red Alert! We have enemies going by the codename of "Destiny" looking for "rpgs" with the codename "ass-spanking midgets!"

I bet this post went to high priority somewhere. And all I wanted to know is if I could ass-spank some midgets in Destiny...

[Krubixcube]

Guess who's going to TGS next week?

[pspiddy]

I'm going to guess an asshole whom likes to gloat and should take many pictures and send stateside besties some of that badass swag?

I'm almost as jealous as when San met Uematsu.

[Krubixcube]

Nah, wont be anywhere near as San meeting Uematsu but I figure it'll be a cool experience. I'm probably too poor to buy my own swag let alone other people swag but I will take lots of pictures!

[pspiddy]

You'd better post pics you TGS going bastard! Pretty sure most of us are envious. Except San. San Uematsu'd Uematsu what with his sealed copy and shit. In the midwest on top of that. What a badass.

[SanAndreasX]

Damn, I'd love to go to a TGS, although I'm bummed that Square Enix's big games are going to be no-shows. Hopefully there will be some big PS4 games coming.

[BretBaber]

Get any cosplaying Final Fantasy VII Japanese girls pictures. Who am I kidding, THE FINAL FANTASY VII COSPLAYING MEN TOO!

[Krubixcube]

Honestly I'm probably going to avoid the Square Enix area...WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR ME LATELY, HUH?!

And I will Bret, otherwise Kay might throw a fit

Greetings from Japan, everyone!

I finally got around to buying a PS4 (the Destiny Pack) and although I "CAN" still use my normal PSN account, I can't add funds to it using Japanese PSN codes, etc... so I've created a new username for Japan.



So, please feel free to add me: Lenologa

There's a very high possibility that I will also be going to the Tokyo Game Show this upcoming weekend, as well, so WOOHOO!! I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that they have a lot of awesome stuff. Later, everyone!!

[pspiddy]

Daaaaamn! Jackpot! Grats, dude. All though I hear that bundle is cursed if you own it in Japan. You should probably swap with me just to be safe. I'll even pay shipping because I'm a cool dude.

All stupid shit aside, good luck with your endeavors in Japan

Is Bravely Second going to be at TGS?

Thanks, man! As generous as it would be for you to pay for the cost of shipping MY PS4 to your house, I think I'll pass (for now). Hahahah.

[TripOpt55]

That white PS4 looks so pretty.

Here's a list of the games that'll be at the venue (the third column is in English). It looks like Bravely Second will be there, though!

It's whiter than my white PS3... It's splendid.

Which got shitty in the second half. BUT had enough promise to constitute maybe looking into Bravely Second

[BretBaber]

If I get a 3DS, it's going to be this NES looking one that comes out in October and is exclusive to Gamestop. It's so damn cool looking. The box even looks like an old Nintendo.

[Miraculous Kaydybug]

i wouldnt personally reccomend that since they already announced the new 3DS which will probably be out sometime next year.

[volvocrusher]

Gotta go with Kay on this one. Especially since I think you'd like Xenoblade, which is only going to be available on the New 3DS.

[pspiddy]

That 3DS screams collector. It's something that you'd bust out to show off and not get really heavy play. I'm not knocking it at all. I was seriously considering it when I first saw it. I mean, if you have the income to buy it then go all in because it looks kick ass. That being said, I'm with Greenie and Kay in their assessments.

If you do go the route of a purchase, you'll be the envy of all of us collectors. Fuck it; If you jump on it I may have to also just to keep up with the cool kids. I can't have Bret out-collecting me. Especially since that's a club reserved strictly for me and San. You're not invited!

[BretBaber]

I've never even thought about buying a 3DS until I saw that system. Although the newer one will be better, it won't look as cool as this one. I probably won't buy it or the new one, but man that's a fantastic looking device. It had me so interested, I was looking at how much I could get for my 32 GB iPod touch 5th gen and soon to be never used iPhone 4S. I could get roughly $150 from just those.

[pspiddy]

If you really dig it -which all of us do- treat yourself and get it. Nothing like a special shiny that let's all others know you're cool and have have the swag to prove it. What Greenie said still applies, but who cares about particulars if you're going with shit you like. It's not like I buy a guitar based on which newer model is going to do what.

[BretBaber]

I've been playing the same shitty guitar I got senior year. I'm left handed, and it was the only left handed guitar in there I think it was roughly $130. All in all, I can play lots of Nirvana on it so it does what I want it to do.

[pspiddy]

I often play left-handed to challlenge my thought process. Sort of like Demon's Souls and such.

[Rainjar]

Have any of you stuck with following the gamergate thing? It's been over a month since it started and it's still going, the amount of shit being uncovered is fucking insane.

[pspiddy]

I only know it's a thing because a few of you have mentioned it here and Cracked did an article about it. From what I get, the gist of it is that people who have genitals sometimes make poor decisions. And the internet is an awful, awful place. >.>

[avidacridjam]

Have any of you stuck with following the gamergate thing? It's been over a month since it started and it's still going, the amount of shit being uncovered is fucking insane.

The bickering on both sides isn't gone but it has simmered down in comparison to how white-hot fucking insane it was 3-4 weeks ago.

@pspiddy

Gamergate explained in one simple image:

The latest breakthrough is how loads of the journalists across multiple sites were part of a Google mailing list since 2010 and were discussing how to spin the Zoe Quinn story in order to get sympathy. 4chan, which is where most of this discussion started taking place, went into full censorship mode once the mailing list was leaked, most likely because it turns out the guy who owns the fucking site has a girlfriend that works for Gawker for fuck sake, so loads of people have migrated to 8chan. Also The Escapist, one of the few sites actually allowed for a large discussion of the entire thing, got DDoS'd directly on the Gamergate thread. The guy who started #NotYourShield ended up receiving offensive phone-calls at his work and has now been fired apparently.

Also there was a SJW conference that actually looks like something you'd fucking expect out of 1984:

XOXO Conference:

The SJW plague is real.
