Yeah, Vita is definitely still pricey. And you guys can probably figure this out for yourself, but you're going to want to go ahead and spring for the 32GB memory card, especially if you plan on downloading stuff from PSN. I second-guessed myself a bit when I bought, thinking of the imminent PS4, but I'm probably not going to get one of those right away so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. No regrets. :tup:

kinda love the added irony that they "sank" this game without explaining why and then brought it back for unspecified reasons with a different name etc. amazing trailer too.

the name change was smart. it's also kind of rumored that nobody expected the firaxis game to be as successful as it was and it threw a wrench in their attempt at being the "modern day xcom." it's a robust enough universe that a good side story could work in theory. provided they don't somehow miss what makes the universe so rad in the first place

An odd thing for me to get excited about, but being that speakers on the Wii remote was the only thing about the Wii remote I liked I'm glade the Dualshock 4 has speakers on it.

Guys, Hotline Miami is $4.99 on GOG this weekend. If you haven't played it yet, you'd best hurry or risk waking up one day to a record collection full of Jimmy Buffett albums.

Just had a windfall. The second half of a payment for a freelance gig I did a while back and forgot about (check was in the mail) and also I thought that I had already received all my checks for teaching this semester, but apparently there was one more.

We just might be back to vita vs 3ds now :|
It's personal preference of course, but I couldn't play any sort of modern type game on a hand held, I could perhaps manage a SNES era type game. So 3DS, no contest. Plus, 3DS can play DS games, making the library quite large. I removed my finger from the buying a PC trigger once again, since I plan on getting a 3DS in the next few months.

Waaaay ahead of you. My savings account is bigger than it has ever been in my life. I've been a good boy for the most part about socking away almost all of my second income with the second job.
:tup:

That a boy.

Yet, I'm getting this feeling, this vibe from your penis that you won't ever really play either hand held device. Survey Says, save that money for the PS4.

I have a good book in my bag and plan on going to my local watering hole right from work to read and have a couple drinks before ordering an early dinner and then going home to waste my life.
I'm going straight home, start drinking hard liquor without eating, and playing a game or two that don't totally entertain me for several hours. Also, do laundry.

Forgive me, friends, for I have sinned. I claim to love Castlevania but have never played more than a few "levels" in of ???? Tonight, I played a bunch of Dragon's Dogma, and it's good, but... but let us now play and start the journey from start to finish.. SOTN. I fear my skills are totally decayed from years of 360 hand holding. Let us pray.

Simon's 4? Simon lived one hundred years to kill Dracula again? God bless him, I guess heaven gave him extra year to live after how horrible his curse was.

So, it's NOT a terrible night to have a curse?
Unless YOU played Simon's Quest at night that is.

I asked the wife when she was about to take off and meet her ham headed Greek friend a question, " Simon, Trevor, or Rictor?" That's all I asked. She first gave me the whole positive mental lectur She's learned from doing TM Meditation and reading The Secret. I said, "That's great, so who is it?" " SIMON! " "Why" she asked? " Oh, well, Simon was in the first Castlevania and..." Wife speeds off in the car.

Yes! Exactly. Newly born Paladin trying to teach an astral plain vampire a lesson in good fountain drinking edicte when all I wanted was to know if she liked Coke or Pepsi better. I give her credit, though. If you could meet the in-laws. DOOM and GLOOM! Luckily they mostly speak Greek.

Wonderful! WONDERFUL! Then you have an idea. Yet, the parents are pretty cool with me. And I have no beef with them. I feel though, sometimes the other Greek relatives can't handle this Entropy Warrior. And I have NO patience for Greek games. Want to piss off your relatives, James? Ask them why after Alexander the Great did the Greeks fold like ass raped puppies to the might of ROME?
