Where the fuck are they hiding the Playstation Tech Support number on their goddamn support website?

Found it through Whirlpool anyway but they're closed, guess I shouldn't have played Skyrim for 4 hours.

I'm not really feeling Skyrim. I've found the quest-line payoffs to be mostly anti-climatic and the rewards practically nonexistent. I guess it's alright as a story delivery mechanism, but it just becomes so predictable. "tell me, oh wise one, which cave will I enter in search of treasure-x next?!" But uh, even the story isn't really grabbing me.

Not like you play Bethesda games for the storytelling and writing anyway. It's all about the exploration, atmosphere, and the amount of shit you can do in the game, no matter how redundant some of that shit is, it's so addictive! (for me at least).

1800 365 911. Used to be a very popular number to know when working retail in the ps2 era. I imagine todays retailers are on a first name basis with MS support reps.

I seriously want to get a tuxedo for my cat. Etsy is one scary place. It's like a Cosplay thread with no irony.

I played a huge chunk of UC3 today
from halfway through that awful ship graveyard through to wandering through the desert
. When it's great, it's great. When you need to use a gun, it sucks. Or when you get into a fistfight, that sucks too. And the enemies, they suck too. Other than that, It's clearly Game of the Year by any objective measure
so long as you exclude Portal 2, Bulletstorm, Gears of War 3, Batman AA, Skyrim, Skyward Sword, SR3, Super Mario 3DS, AC:R, Deus Ex:HR, Battlefield 3 and MW3.
. Definitely a game that picks up in the second half. They did to Elena's what Vivendi/Universal did to Crash Bandicoot after ND moved on from the series.

Also- where is the best Bricks and mortar price for a 3DS? I've suggested one as a gift for me for Xmas but my wife wants to pay cash and walk out with one rather than buy online.

any colour other than pink is preferred.

a personal appeal from Jimmy Wales always cracks me up.

Hide your wallet. And seriously consider "losing" your pet spider as mentioned on the previous page.

Can't be that bad, just think about how awesome it will be when you unexpectedly go stay at their house one day!

How long they staying for?

Probably three nights. I am out tomorrow night. They clearly expect to be entertained. Fuck you: I read, write, linger on GAF, cook steak, jack off, play games, work out, nap. None of this is conceivably entertaining to anybody but me, and it is a routine I am pretty much unable to alter*.

*Until I am rescued, redeemed, by a gorgeous lady.

Yeah, if random relatives came and stayed at my place and just went off to do their own thing during the day, I'd be fine with it. The constant entertaining part is the worst.

Oh well, suck it up Sal, random family is still technically family! Have fun!

Also, what markot said lol

Family visiting for a while disrupting your routine is really irritating. I had someone come and visit, I was glad, cause I hadn't seen them for a very long time.

Because of the length of their stay, I didn't wank for a week.

Thats the most accurate review of the game Ive seen. Maybe I shouldnt have stopped watching zero punctuation after all.

When street dates get broken, are the games usually ridiculously priced (well, moreso than usual)?

Zelda anticipation has reached critical level and I can just see myself spend $100+ for the Wiimote bundle...

Cool, Mega.

I think? I found a fascinating bug. If the cursor covers part of the paddle, the game registers it as a hole in the paddle?

Nice and smooth!

Congratulations. I just got a gnarly revise and resubmit letter for an article I'd given someone. I have until February, though.

Well, I wrote it to deliver to friends at a vaguely casual symposium, and was asked to submit it to a journal. I underestimated the extent to which they wanted me to stiffen up the (fairly conversational) paper with "current scholarship" and "more precise definitions".

No worries, really. Cramming papers full of superfluous but impressive references is my goddamn hobby.

There have been dozens of spiders spotted in my house this past week. The most I've ever seen in such a short amount of time...

As an arachnophobic, I am NOT looking forward to summer.
