Steam Controller

My Eary Bird steam Controller came in.   I've wanted a controller that gives me the ability to use mouse precision with the convenience of a controller layout for quite a while. And this might actually do that, but there are clearly some stuff to be sorted out with it.   Overall I'm fairly happy with the controller. It probably helps that the thing is massive to accommodate my stupidly spindly fingers.

How to Enjoy Star Wars: Battlefront

1. Don't play the Battlefront Beta   2. Play Battlefront II   Quick question: I'm not sure if it's me or possibly a miscalibrated TV, but on Xbox one, Battlefront is looking extremely jagged and muddy (at the same time somehow), So I'm wondering if anyone else can confirm weather it's the game or something else. I'm pretty sure it's the game because the opening screen is absolutely headache inducing and everything is just really hard to see. But a quck search online didn't result in finding simi

Transformers: Devastation

*Turns difficulty to medium   *Devastator is the first boss.   *Gets hit once and health bar halves   *Dies   *Gets stuck for almost an hour   *Shamefully turns difficulty to easy     You never disappoint, Platinum.

Super Mario Maker

I managed to grab the game earlier this morning. I feel like this game has a huge amount of potential, but I'm still getting used to how everything works.   I also managed to get a hold of Zero Suit Samus and Ganondorf, as well as grabbing a Pit when he went up online.   If anyone else here got the game let me know as I'd be happy to try out some new levels.

Anyone here play Destiny?

I'm trying to get a raid team together to run both the raids on hard and do prison of elders. If you can help I can play on Xbox one or 360.

Ekimu

The mask maker is a neat little figure, and probably my favorite of the 3 protectors I have.   I'll admit, I'm not terribly impressed with skull basher.(is that the right name?) He's not bad, but he exists and that's about it. And he has a kinda cool mask. But I mostly grabbed the set for Ekimu and the mask of creation, which did not disappoint.

Bus Strike

Uuuuuuuugggghhhh.   There are currently 5 bus routes running in my city.   There are usually like 30. Probably more. I could count them if I wanted to. But now 5 of them are running, on a Sunday schedule, by people they had to pull from a differant city. And there is no schedule for sundays until whenever there is again, which predictions say could be a month from now.   This is going to be fun.   It's a good thing nobody uses the bus.   That last part was sarcasm, if you didn't catch on.

DARK PIT

I went to best buy with a freind and managed to get a hold of the Dark Pit Amiibo.   Now I'm just looking for 3   Zero Suit Samus Pit Lucina   This still rather ridiculous.

Wind Waker: CLEAR!

I finally got around to beating Wind Waker on the Wii U.   That last battle was probably my favorite of the series. Or at least of the ones I've beaten. Still my favorite Link.   I also got around to completing Metroid: Fusion about a week ago. The SA-X still terrifies me more then it has any right to. That only took me... Ten years at least. I can't remember when I first got it.

Working at a Call Center: Disconnects

Ugh I don't think I can take this much longer. Here's a little explanation on how a mobile phone number disconnect goes for those of you have not had the unfortunate opportunity to work at a call center for a phone carrier before.   So, to begin with, a customer can't disconnect their phone number on their own, it's one of the few things they need to call us for. We are told to keep our disconnects below 1%, meaning one percent of our calls are supposed to involve a single disconnect. So we have

E3

Platinum is making a Transformers game.   I repeat. Platinum games ala Metal Gear Rising and Wonderful 101 is making a Transformers game.   That's it, everyone else can go home.   Then again, it's published by Activision. And Korra, while not bad, could have clearly used more polish.though I'm guessing that's because Nick killed the Tv show.   Whatever. I'm still excited.

Steam Summer Sale

Ah yes. That wonderful time of year where setting my wallet on fire is more fiscally responsible then going on my computer.   While we're on the subject, Both Bastion and Transistor are currently on sale.   And Bastion is like... REALLY good. So yeah. Just a suggestion.

Another Job Post

I honestly can't say I hate my job. Maybe I haven't had the time to form that sort of opinion of it, maybe it takes too much effort, I don't know.   But I honestly can't say how well I'm doing. I go from getting two 10/10's and not having to worry to getting one 4/4 and being told if it keeps up I might not have a job much longer.   They had me sign a counselling tracker for "assurance of help" statements. At the time I was told it was nothing to worry about and I'm doing fine. Then I'm told I'm

Lucina Amiibo

My friend alerted me that it was being out up on Amazon and I had it in my cart and I thought that was enough. But it apperantly was not, if I had known that I would have had one...   Oh well, maybe I can hope for a restock...

Recomendations for Wii U

So, I recently got one as I mentioned earlier. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.   Currently I have 3 physical disks and a handful of VC games:   Smash 4 Hyrule Warriors The Wonderful 101   A link to the past Zelda 2 Super Metroid Super Mario 3D world Nintendoland   I'm planning on getting:   Windwaker HD MarioKart 8 All the VC Metroids and Zeldas MH3U   So, if it's not up there somewhere and It's a good Wii U game, fire away, I need suggestions.

Finals

Ugh. I hate presentations. I got up there and immediately forgot everything and did so terrible I was ridiculed by the teacher.   I don't think I need to say much more other then the fact that I'm probably not continuing my education for the foreseeable future. That class was everything I hate about school rolled up into a nice, 16 week package.   How can anybody work full time and go to school full time? I had two classes and one of them singlehandedly almost drove completely insane with stress

The Wii U

So yeah. I've got one.   It kinda bugs me that when I went to the store to buy it, instead of asking what I wanted they immediately tried to sell me used. Which would be fine, except it's not a good deal, since the new one came with games and wasn't that much more.   So yeah. It's a nice system. I've heard complaints about the graphics but it all looks really nice. And the controller is pretty cool. When I first heard about the system I thought it was gimmicky, but it reminds me more of the 3DS

Involuntary Overtime

It's 8:57.   I'm almost off, not a long wait time. But I can't possibly Get a bad or long call.   Oh I have never been so wrong.   Never.   So, you know how Verizon used to have unlimited data? Maybe you didn't, but they did at one point.   So anyway, this guy had made a plan change, and went to switch back his unlimited data. Nope. Can't do that.   But the previous rep got his supervisor to submit an IPR to get it back. It worked on two of his lines, but not the third one. And they'd already su

People who call Verizon customer service.

Yes hello, how are you?   Okay, can I get you'r- what do you mean you need to take a call? Okay, I'll just wait here then.   Ma'am? Are you there? Hello?   Okay, can I validate your account now?   Okay, so what is it you where offered?   Look, I get that Verizon called you for the offer, but we aren't a collective conscious, I need to know what you want to help you. Okay, if you don't know then it's going to be pretty hard to get it for you.   Can you at least tell me what you where discussing b

question regarding the Smash 4 CD

Has anyone else tried to put the songs on Google music? My laptop won't even rip them.   And when I try to put the files from my desktop into my Google account, it just doesn't.   The internet seems barren of any info on copyright protection on the CD, and I know that Google music will not upload some music it it was from anothe google account, but I haven't heard of it happening with a CD.

Oot: Clear!

I finally beat it. I was going to try to 100% it, but I think I accidentally overwrote it when starting the master quest. Whoops.   On to Majoras Mask!   Edit: Question: If Ganondorf can use the triforce of courage to change into a gigantic boar, why can't Zelda use the triforce of wisdom to realize she can throw the sword that is literally three feet from her into the ring.

The call center life

What have I gotten myself into.   I mean, the people that work there are cool, and generally speaking taking calls isn't that bad.   But man. There is so much misinformation. Like, no, sir, I can't upgrade you a month early. I don't actually have that power. I'm sorry the person you called lied to you. But I actually cannot do that for you.   No. Ma'am. I don't know why your refund didn't get processed. I Realize they said that, but this is what actually happened. I can fill it out for you right

A serious question

How far up do I have to get in the educational system before the teachers goal is prepare me for life outside of school rather then the next level of school?   Now excuse me while I cram information into my brain so I can take a test and write an essay on memorized information in ink in the span of an hour and then forget about all of it the second I walk out of the classroom. Because that's apparently what going to a university is all about.   Which exactly why I'm at a community college.   Did
