For the ps2 launch I want to say they were out of stock all over the place and the only way you could get them was through resale and they cost a ton.

I don't remember the system being too hard to get, but I do remember the great memory card famine well.
X360 was insanely popular around here because it was modded so easy that everybody knew how to do it and private pirate trackers were booming with games for X360.
But at the end of gen, PS3 overtook it
Currently, PS4 is the total dominating console here, mostly due to the fact that it is officially supported. meanwhile MS still thinks that we are developing country somewhere in Africa.

course registration doesn't open until november 7 but I'm curious what my life is going to look like next year so I've been searching through the online course catalog.
piecing this all together is a bit like a puzzle. it's annoying that certain classes are only available at certain times..

Course registration seems a lot more fun than it actually is. All these great new things to learn and choose from, but really just a bunch of disappointment and compromise as you realize when you'll have to be awake, which classes will have to wait a semester or two, and which ones you might not get into just because they're already full. Ew. I'm glad to be done with that.
Today I woke up feeling like shit so I stayed home from work in hopes of feeling fine in time for evening festivities. It seems to be working.
Last time I flew on halloween most of the pilots and stewards were in costume. Is that still a thing?

Wii was my favt console of that gen. Everything on 360 and PS3 seemed so samey. So much gruff white guy running through brown stuff. Wii had some real gems. Mario Galaxy, MadWorld, no More Heroes, HotD Overkill, Punchout, Rhythm Heaven Fever, Xenoblade, Last Story, Pandoras Tower, Muramasa, Red Steel 2, Boy and his Blob, Tatsunoko v Capcom, etc.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
PS3 gen was where Japanese style games lost the crown to brown dudebro shooters. I like a lot of brown dudebro shooters, actually (Resident Evil 5 even went there) but it was a really weird generation. Games became mainstream and people who used to make fun of them became their target audience. Wii was similar, but it attracted soccer moms and their kids instead of football players.
Wii was awesome. I even like waggle games. A lot of my fav games are Wii games.

Yeah we had one memory card for years.

I don't want to have to pay for PS+ if it's not going to be my main platform. Shit's expensive yo.
I didn't like the controllers or the low resolution/dated 3D visuals and the games didn't do anything for me. I played Twilight Princess in its better version on Gamecube.
I would agree that Muramasa is really cool and that game in particular was influential on me. I have a Muramasa player (a Vita TV) just for it.

Got a 'Code Comprehension Test' from a potential employer. Problem is, it's in C++ and I've been coding java for the past two years. Time for a refresher!
Most stuff is the same.

Yeah, just gotta brush up on the syntax. Haven't used it in over 3 years.

Oh god. Please let trab see the good in tiny nerd. If he can only show how big his heart is then I'm sure he can win hers.

Well why wouldn't he want to? Half this thread wants to.
Right. I'm just saying it's not her job to feel sorry for a guy she met on tinder, and her accepting his gestures and interacting with him when she isn't interested is only stringing him along.

Okay, yeah. That I completely agree with.
Just ghost the poor guy. His tiny heart might not be able to handle it but that's not really your fault.

I mean if you're not a match, don't try to make it work. Even if you both like each other, if you like each other in significantly different amounts then eventually that's going to run into problems.
Dear Baphomet,
all I really want for Halloween is for Lea to move on from #TinyNerd. If you help her do this and keep #TinyNerd from being too sad about it then I promise to be a good little girl all year long, and not just on Halloween.

shit now I feel like i need to see it
Might not be as effective if you haven't been watching the same characters for 6 seasons... But yeah it was weird.
This show is tonally inconsistent. It's super dark sometimes and really stupid and goofy other times.
I watched the clip to see what all the fuss was about. I checked out on the show years ago so it didn't really carry any weight for me. Still pretty gross though.
We can show the most gruesome violence + gore you can possibly imagine on television.. Just be sure not to say the F word or show a breast.
I know people point that out a lot but.. Seriously

The new charismatic badguy (I'm so tired of charismatic badguys...) executed two main characters with a barbwire wrapped baseball bat, including one who has been the nice guy on the show since season 1, while the rest of the main characters looked on in sobbing despair
All of his strikes to their heads were shown in explicit detail (like they'd be sort of half dead with their heads half caved in after a strike or two and he'd let them linger like that for a while) and the whole thing was very dark... Was torture porn tier stuff and would be worthy of a very hard R were this a movie.

There was a jump scare involving a bat flying through a glen (in eye-popping 3D)

Fake edit: Just looked it up. Meh. More commentary with The Wire series 5 and GoT series 4 spoilers (I think that was the last series I watched anyway):
Oberyn was worse. To be honest though, the whole explicit bloody death for any character for shock value thing has become so played out that I don't really care any more. The death of Omar or Stringer Bell in The Wire are much more impactful. There's no lingering on them as they bleed out or anything, both just get shot midsentence and that's it. They're dead. And while it was shocking that they were dead, it was in situations where it made complete narrative sense.

I think it was something stupid regarding the "lore" of James Bond. He was furiously defending it or some shit, I don't remember.
