I'm a twad load of jerk, and I know it.

Yes

Seriously?


Been going back and forth on whether or not I should buy certain games for my 360, or wait until I buy a PS3. My lack of new stuff lately has put a near end to my gaming time, which needs to be fixed.

Well, the majority of cross-platform games are better on 360, even if only slightly, though there are exceptions. Could be a title-by-title basis, unless you're trying to ditch the 360 or something.

I try to limit my current games. Switching to try out a new game has been a big factor in me not finishing games in the past.

I will usually have at most 3 games. A console game, a PC game, and a handheld. Sometimes I just have 2 and the console/pc merge.

I was mostly trying to swap over because I have the last fat model 360 and wanted to have a bit less play time on it so I could help reduce RROD chances. I also prefer to keep game series on the same console or console series, so I was figuring that if some of these games got next gen sequels, I'd be set in that way when I do eventually get a PS4.

IDK, I don't use a screen protector. I'm still not sure what all the fuss is over. Is the problem just with the regular sized 3DSes and NOT with the XLs? Because I have an XL, and I don't have any problems. But after reading all this shit about the screens I'm EXTRA careful with mine now, although I don't put a cloth between the screens or anything.

I hope I am not jinxing myself, but I also haven't seen any scratches. I have an early model regular 3DS. There is not a single scratch on either screen. I don't use covers or anything. It's traveled in coat and pants pocket, as well as just loose in a suitcase or backpack.

It's an issue with the early normal sized 3DS...at least that's what Nintendo has lead me to believe. I don't think the 3DS XL has the issues but you really should put something between the screens because if your 3DS XL is no longer under warrenty you'll pay like 80 bucks for the screen replacement.

And you are jinxing yourself dude. Just put a cloth or something soft and not scratchy inbetween. Save yourself the hassle and money.

I wish I had an answer from someone who actually had my issue and used a screen protector...I mean 8 bucks or whatever is great, i'll pay it...if the things do protect my screen. I don't just want to get it, stick it on and figure out down the road that the damn thing isn't protecting my screen as well as I thought. Having to send my 3DS to Nintendo for repair was a pain in the ass.

I mean I picked a horrible time to do it (during the holidays) but the really horrible part was the stupid UPS driver just left the package out for everyone to see...i'm super glad that I got to it before it was stolen (we live on a busy street and have had things get taken before).

So I don't want to go through the hassle again..and yeah someone recommended them to you but...do they keep the system from scratching it's self? The reason it does this is because when you put even a tiny bit of pressure on the top, it presses the top screen to the bottom and starts rubbing on it. Mainly happens for those of us who oh idk use it as a portable device the way it was meant to be used...such as slipping it your pocket. You could always put it in a bag but you'd have to make sure the bag doesn't get pressed against anything. It's a hassle and one of the reasons I leave the 3DS at home...

My original 3DS doesn't have any scratches really, other than from the stylus.

I try to limit the singleplayer games. Multiplayer games are whatever is hot with my group. ie last night we played PSO and Team Fortress Classic, after trying to play Starbound.

I'd like to join for some StarBound!

A bunch of my college buddies get together on Thursday nights to play PC games. We play random games, no real schedule. It really depends on how many people we have. Sadly Starbound's server is so odd right now we were rubberbanding badly to the point of unplayable. So, since we had five people, we played 2v3 TFC, everyone must play random team and random class. That way you never no what is going to happen.

We started on 2fort and I was on the team of two. My teammate was Acks little brother who is a nasty demoman from way back and he handled defense once we found our groove. I would run throuhg lives until I got a scout or medic and then bumrush for the flag and conc jump out the elevator. I only made that jump twice, once with the conc, the other with a rocket grenade jump. The game ended on a tie and we moved to Warpath. Where the game went back and forth and eventually became a 2v2 then a 2v1. Mostly because Ack and his brother were on the same connection and it crapped out. I held them aslong as I could, but the opposing team ended up winning with a well timed conc over the bridge from 3 to 4 and then being to fast for my engy.

Next week it could be Killing Floor, Dungeon Defenders, or even Half Life Deathmatch. We like to keep it interesting.
