And it started on a Tuesday for God knows what reason. Administration be cray
Is that an abbreviation for "Vita Japanese Hentai"?

That wouldn't be bad either, like you mentioned you guys wouldn't have to talk solely about Vita based games. With the limited amount of games you'd probably run out of things to talk quickly. The prime focus could still be Vita related, though.

I kind of hate the "no games" meme though even if some ironic uses are amusing.

Just an idea, not sure if it would work, the podcast could be called "Vita means ..." with a different word related to the discussed topics inserted every episode.

IIRC it's 19.99 for it and the marvel dlc.
I Wanna Be The Guy
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
I vote for this.

Finished Chapter 5 of Neptunia. Haven't really had any problems with difficulty spikes since chapter 2, so pretty happy about that. Not a fan of multiple bossfights without saving, but so far it hasn't caused me to lose any progress. The humor is still good, and best girl is finally back, so I'm enjoying it a lot right now.
I find even the ironic use pretty annoying.

Chapter 5 means you're past any awkward difficulty IIRC. I think the game only pulls the multiple boss fights thing two or three times?, but yes it's incredibly annoying. Especially when the first one feels hard, then it turns out the second one is actually way harder and there's no return or save before it.
And I would find "no games" okay if there weren't so many people who either mean it seriously (or use it in such a way I can't tell if they're serious or not because of the aforementioned people.)
I check my subs at least as often as the front page. I just sub to anything interesting. @NeoGAFNewThread is what I use for breaking news

Shizuka, NormalFish since we are all EST what time would you like to have some discuss more details about the podcast. I got a raid in Destiny at 8PM but anytime before that I am golden!

It was free when I searched for it just now. I am downloading it to give it a shot.
Store is updating with plus games and still no mention of the "15 for 15" sale. I really hope we get it today and don't have to wait until next week.
BTW, I have a question I am in US but want to buy an item on the UK store that is only 10 pounds. How/what is my best way of doing this? I don't want to have to buy a 25 pound card if possible but I don't see 10 pound ones. Thank you very much

So my PS Plus membership expires tomorrow.
If I let it expire, do I lose all my free games I've accrued or will they still be there once I renew (wanted to wait on a potential deal)?

Nope. Your games are all yours when you resub

Thy'll still be there when you renew.
When your plus runs out, the plus games you bought can't be playable unless you buy them.
if you renew your sub you'll get access to play them again just fine.
You don't lose them; they stay 'unactivated' on your account until PS+ reactivates. Once you resubscribe to Plus, they become activated again

Awesome. May just wait for a deal then before renewing.
Got the new games that are on plus (everything but Ducktails; the rest of the Plus games I don't own) .
Played a bit of Duke and it is quite fun so far. I did play Doom 1 and 2 in the past, but I never played any of the Duke games before, so I really like how the game controls. 60FPS gameplay with free-aiming; really great on the Vita's OLED screen . And the game having so much content (the original game plus its four expansions I think) makes it a great game to land on plus .
Playing the Swapper now and I really like the game; it runs well on Vita, it has a very ominous atmosphere and I really like the clone mechanic. Defiantly play more of this.
The Woah Dave game I didn't download yet but it seems so simple :l; honestly looks like a lot like Super Create Force... But, its 'free', so it should be quite fun in the long run.
Can't play Infamous due to not owning a PS4 but I'm looking forward to playing Prototype 2. The first one looked like a ton of fun, so being able to play its sequel should be quite enjoyable . Who doesn't love destroying everything in video games XD!
This month is great for PS+ in my book.

I'm free the rest of the day. Let me know.
Wait... Shizuka is back? Valkyria is back?!? nampad is also back?!?!
Welcome back, guys
:/.
I have a feeling that Konami(the developers) were lazy to make some 3D animations(and/or use some 3D animations from the Tag Force games). And these eye glances with voice-overs..... I guess this will be Japan only
like Tag Force 6 ;_;.
If you don't go full Digital, buy a lot of PSP/PS1 classics and/or have PS+ games, then maybe not ;p
My 64GB card is almost full(only have 700-800MB? free space :/). Bought too much digital PSP/PS1 games in the past :/
Sounds... a good idea
. Or maybe this: VitaGAF podcast: "Vita means *today's topic?*" ;P.YianGaruga

My white 1000 gets --

played tons

and...
not a single scratch. I don't know what some of you guys do to them.
Sounds like your expectations were too high. there is flawed freerunning and the combat is Assassin's Creed. However, the combat does improve some -- its sounds like you're early on with low level enemy captains... you'll eventually get captains that are immune to almost anything that require actual tactics to kill.
For example:
It's especially good when there are multiple high level captains around.
The game does a lot of original things, and does them very well. It's hard to innovate in game design, and the nemesis system is a brilliant innovation. It deserves some GOTY love, even if it isn't mine.

For example:
A captain that is immune to all damage unless in full retreat, but only scared of one thing. So you need to carefully pick off his followers, get him scared, and hunt him down before he escapes.

Fun fact: Vita memory cards may be stupidly expensive, but Sony-branded Memory Stick Pro Duos (ie. for PSP) of equivalent size are still even more insanely expensive.
Does anyone have performance issues with generic MSPDs in a PSP? I want to upgrade my PSP's 16GB card and I know that generic cards are super cheap, but I'm worried about overall quality.

I have 2 scratches on the front, if you aren't looking for them you'll miss them. The thing is these all happened when I went home, so I'm just going to blame my cat. It seems like something he'd do.

Guess I'll pass then. Swapper's an amazing game though. Fantastic horror-style atmosphere, cool claymation look that doesn't really look TOO claymation either (it's a sort of real but not that just adds to the atmosphere), good puzzles too, a couple had me stumped. Not too long either, everyone should give it a shot. Plays great with a controller, that's how I played it on PC.

I got a microSD to PSP adapter and have had no issues. Think mine is 32GB, but I see no reason why there would be issues with something bigger.
