What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[MrPopo]

Smile: It's obvious that during his interview with Nolan Bushnell for his book that Dave drifted off, then when he realized he didn't hear the last name of someone Bushnell referenced he tried to cover it up by mashing his hands on the keyboard to come up with a fake name. He thought no one would notice, but I did.

hahaha! What name do you mean? Now I am all paranoid...

It's a Russian looking last name with more letters than an Indian last name. I know it's fake because:

1. No way Bushnell could have pronounced it
2. No way you could have transcribed it

I was going through what is left of my game collection today. I thought my Mega Man box felt heavy for always having the cart out ready to play, so I opened it, only to find a Mega Man cart inside. I guess I have had two carts for who knows how long.

[Fragems]

: Was excited to get a cheap copy of Splinter Cell Double Agent Limited Collector's Edition off Amazon Warehouse the other day, but sadly it was a mislabeled standard edition so it's going back . Was also excited since Titanfall(Xbox One) was supposed to be coming in tonight but it looks like it will be delayed by a day.

What's in the collector's edition? I'd be upset if that happened to me.

I used to own the collector's edition of that game. It comes with a neat cover and a bonus DVD with some footage. I forget what the footage was of, I think it may have been promo videos.

Yeah it wasn't super fancy or anything just had a slip cover and a bonus disc. They had it listed used like new for $5.50 shipped so I jumped on it. Plus the return shipping is free(to me at least) so no biggie. Already had the game on steam, but I thought the limited edition would be a nice addition to my 360 library at that price.

: Titanfall looks like it's in UPS limbo. Hopefully it comes Monday since it is in Ashland, KY now which is usually the last stop before they deliver up my way. So far it's been to Virginia, Pennsylvania, briefly stopped in Ohio, then to Connecticut, then back to Pennsylvania, back to Ohio, and finally it has found it's way to Kentucky from which it will be delivered to Ohio . So much for 2-day shipping.

Went to see Weird Al yesterday, that was a lot of fun.

I am jealous. I missed him when he was in Charlotte a few months ago, and I have read that he puts on a great show.

He puts on an amazing show. It's nonstop fun from start to finish, and you owe it to yourself to go see him.

So true. I seen him at the end of June and it was an absolute blast.

Looks like finding a church might be a bit of a doozy up here. Apparently, there isn't a whole lot of people up here (well, at least my age) who go to traditional service rather than modern or Ekklesia service. I guess I have to choose which I find more important, or need more. Do I go with the service style I prefer, or do I try and connect with people my age?

I have the PS2 version of Chaos Theory, almost bought the Xbox version as well for possibly a small improvement bump up in graphics. The bonus DVD plays on a regular DVD player and has video "interviews" of the soldier sitting in an office using programed game footage. Neat stuff with a nice tin case.

Double Agent actually has MORE in game features on the older consoles!

Xbox Advantages
A longer more, robust single-player game (over 360). The best example of this is actually the first mission. It consists of about three areas on 360 that should only take experience players about 15-20 minutes to beat. However, the current generation titles kick off with a full fledged mission with multiple objectives.

Interactive tutorials in the first level. As I stated above, the first mission is long and guides players through almost all of Sam's abilities. Players are presented with optional tutorial movies at certain points in the level so if you are already an experienced spy you can skip right past this.

Online and off-line cooperative mode that includes 15 missions online. While the PS2, GameCube, and Wii versions do include a split-screen co-op mode the Xbox is the only console that supports online co-op. This means cooperative mode in full screen! This game also has the most cooperative content in the series with a storyline that parallels the single-player mode.

PS2 Advantages
Content wise these versions are based on the Xbox build so they have the same advantages over the 360 skew.

Two exclusive multiplayer game modes including Disk Hunt and Survival. Both these modes are versions of deathmatch. Disk Hunt causes players to drop discs when they die that can be collected by the opposing team. Survival puts a one minute time limit on everyone being killed or all players will respawn.

I woke up this morning to find that, for some reason, my PS4 turned on in the middle of the night. And a super great feature of the PS4 is HDMI-CEC so it decided to wake the TV up to stay up with it. My plasma TV.

So there was a still image sitting on the screen for an unknown amount of hours. Thankfully the TV is rather battle-hardened (it's from 2008) so removing the burn in didn't take very long.

But for some reason, while the scrolling was running ... the TV just decided to turn off.

Oh yeah, the future of smart devices is looking SUPER prosperous. I can small the overheating, self damaging garbage already.
