Replay value: Destiny Vs. MOTN

So, as some of you may know, Destiny was released (about) two weeks ago. One of it's main gameplay features is how much you will be replaying parts of it. A lot. That's not really a problem. The problem is that there is very little reason for me to want to replay it. The only mission that makes me want to replay it is Sword of Crota because of the GIANT. FREAKING. SWORD. The only level that has such a feature. But since the game is designed to have parts of it replayed several times it seems lik

Initial thoughts on Destiny

The gameplay is tight and fantastic. The story... not so much.   The problem seems to be that it was trying to make you the hero, but it couldn't because than the story makes no sense. Not to mention that guardians are made out be ​literally unkillable. Which generates a heck of a lot more issues. And add that to the fact that nothing the story says you do can possibly have any effect on the actual game, even if it should.   But yeah. I'm not dissapointed, but the story was less then I was hopin

I'm sick of this bus system

Because apparently when you hear "Scheduled connections to route 37", what it actually means is sit around for half an hour and watch the 37 bus drive right by the stop so you have to wait another half hour for the next 37 bus to pass by after you've ventured to a bus stop you know actually functions as a bus stop.   And we wonder why everybody drives a freaking car. Don't even get me started on what it feels like to ride a bike on a street that they forgot to put a bike path on half the road fo

New 3DS?

So according to a post on facebook I just saw we're getting a 3DS with dual control sticks and dual shoulder pads. But its still the 3DS. And they thought the 2DS would be confusing.

Get it together Pima

So a solid 4 days before the date of my first class, and the day the semester starts, I am being informed via email that the book I rented from amazon (As a new copy was $50 more then the class and used was a bit lower) is now no longer being used in the class. Rather they are telling me that I need to purchase a digital version of the book as it's cheaper or something.   You can't possibly imagine my excitement.   Edit: It's roughly double the price. Woo.

Mark of the Ninja

If you have me as a friend on Steam you may have noticed I have been logging up time playing this game like nothing else. You also might not have noticed. Either way.   THIS GAME.   As someone who is tremendously bad at stealth games, it gives some nice advantages to the player. Of course if you beat the game you can play it without said advantages and see how quickly it can destroy you.   But anyway. This game has a pretty decent story with a fantastic ending.   But it was an absolute joy to p

Yup. I'm an idiot

So yeah. I busted my 500GB laptop drive.   Oops.   I went to reposition myself and lay on the floor and forgot I injured my knee and freaked myself out and the laptop hit the floor and now I need a new drive...   Well, I have one, but it's a grand total of 120GB. So I guess that's something. But the other one is shot. Luckily most everything was backed up and the few things that weren't (Important pictures) had been backed up by my sister.   Ugh. I hate setting up a new computer.   But this th

Regarding the Gamestop mega stone distribution

So yeah, the one I rode the bus to today didn't have any of the cards, apparently they didn't get shipped or something. I was given the Nintendo Customer Service number to call, but from what I've heard it's pretty flooded at the moment. The lady at the front desk seemed a bit misinformed on how that works, but I can't say that's her fault, and she was nice about the whole thing.   So if someone does happen to have an extra one for the Y version maybe you could get me the code? That would be rea

This Steam thing is becoming a problem

I've just bought three games in the span of less then 24 hours.   All of them on sale.   Pfft. I won't buy a bunch of games I said.   I was wrong.   I wonder how long it will be until I just randomly start buying gift copies of games for people. I see that happening during the next big sale.   This has been one of the best mistakes I've ever made.

I really don't understand my friend...

So, recently, one of my friends decided he was no longer going to play M rated games. Well, that's all fine and dandy except he still plays them. He still has the entire Halo collection, Assassins Creed collection, And a lot of call of duty games. And more often then not I see him playing ghosts whenever he happens to be logged on Xbox. (He's got himself convinced that if he owns all the Halo games that they are going to be worth a ton of money one day.) But he managed to sell off his Bioshock 1

PSA For pokemon players

According to their facebook page there is an event for a pokeball pattern Vivillion. I have yet to grab it but I intend to shortly.   Also we're finally getting some events. What is this, like, the fourth one?

Kid Icarus: Uprising

I've talked about this game before. Not in depth really, though. But I really like this game.   It has some of the most genius minigame design I've ever seen.   You read that right. KI:U has minigames. And I know Most of the time I've encountered these things it's been an infuriating break from the game I intended to still be playing. The one's in the lego games are rather irritating, IMO. I think it's odd that the Lego Harry Potter game for the DS has an unlockable specifically for avoiding the

My first impression of FTL

Logicalcyclops: It's just got these unpredictable difficulty spikes and just let him suffocate and what do you mean the O2 thingy is broken he wasn't even near it and now I've effectively cut off my ability to repair the thing that gives me air with a lack of air and the irony isn't killing me the lack of air is. Logicalcyclops: Actual thing that happened. Logicalcyclops: But at least nothing was on fire. Logicalcyclops: Because there was no fricking air.     This is a description of one of my f

Good job Nickelodeon, you broke it.

Alternative title: "This is why we can't have nice things."   So for those who aren't aware, net weeks episode of Legend of Korra will be the last episode to air on Nick. the rest are through digital streaming.   Something about low ratings or something, but I don't know, maybe, just maybe if they bothered to let people know that something watchable was airing we wouldn't have this issue.   But, you know, if a show doesn't have enough viewers, just put it somewhere else. that'll fix it.

BZP group on Bungie.net

I did the thing.   There's now a BZPower group on Bungie.net   So if you have a Bungie account you can join. I'm not sure how successful this will be, but it's worth a shot, right?   And currently it's closed and hidden, if you want to join you can shoot me a pm and I'll approve you after that. Just to make sure it is in fact BZP people signing up, as anyone else signing up would just defeat the purpose.

Anyone here going to be playing Destiny?

Because I might have two spare beta codes (Xbo 360). I think it said I get three, but I can't confirm that. If anyone wants to claim them go ahead, All my friends have their own already.   There's also a way to set up a group and I was thinking about doing a BZP one if enough people would jump on with me.   And I'll see about opening up a COT topic on this, maybe make it all official if I can.

So apparently there's a The Giver movie coming out

And I don't know how to feel about that. I'm not entirely sure the ideas conveyed in the book can even be put on a screen effectively. What made the book so awesome was that the viewpoint was from someone who had only ever lived in that world, meaning anything and everything that was so alien and wrong with the society in the book was given almost no attention until the character starts seeing things he isn't normally supposed to. The fact that that's being put on a screen severely takes away fr

Let's talk about Bioshock: Infinite

If you haven't played the game and you plan to, You shouldn't read this. It could very well ruin the game for you, I'm going to stay away from major plotpoint but the ending just won't be the same if you know how it hit's you. If you're thinking about playing it, I think you should. It's a good story driven game with some unfortunate oversights.   I originally heard one of my friends raving about this game in my math class during senior year, not too long after it's release. Fast forward to just
