So I went out and bought a super slim ps3 to replace my dead ps3 and I like the look and size of it a lot but I hate how cheap the disc loader feels.

 

 

Also I must say the my team mode in nba 2k13 might be the coolest game mode in a sports video game ever.

Where did you go to get yours? And what kind of deal did you get? I'm still debating whether to pick up a new one or just wait. The cheapest I can find is 269.99 with uncharted 3...a game i already have.

 

 

Picked up Far Cry 3 for the PC this weekend. I've played about an hour the last two nights and so far so good. It's basically Assassins Creed meets Just Cause 2.

I got it from best buy for the price you listed with uncharted 3. Haven't played it yet so I was ok with that bundle.

Video games continue to be the root of all evil.

 

I was playing Borderlands last night and running people over with the Catch-A-Ride, blowing people apart with rocket launchers, sniping heads off, and setting people on fire with incendiary weapons.

 

Yet, for whatever reason, I don't have any impulse to kill anybody or even hurt anybody. In fact, I never once became upset.

 

Now, Madden or NBA 2K? A little booze in me, and the controller starts flying around the room. Even broke one.

LOL so true. Sports games cause way more anger than violent games.

Seriously, free and clear for a super fast break dunk? HOLD THE f*** ON THERE, THAT'S SOME RANDOM SCRUB BEHIND YOU COMING IN FOR AN IMPOSSIBLE BLOCK!

 

Oh, you can't hit a 10 foot, wide open jumper? HERE'S KEVIN DURANT HITTING A TURN AROUND, FADE AWAY 22 FOOTER WITH A HAND IN HIS FACE! AND ONE!

 

Oh, you're 95 OVR running back can't get more than 2 yards on a toss without getting gobbled up by a 5'8 180 CB? HERE'S A SHORT, SLOW RUNNING BACK BREAKING TACKLES LIKE HE'S EMMITT SMITH AND IN FOR A TOUCHDOWN!

 

Oh, almost got that interception? Must have been just a second early, right? WATCH ME INTERCEPT A PASS THAT IS 8 FEET OVER MY HEAD!

 

I am seriously getting upset just writing these out

You forgot that the interception was likely one-handed while looking the other way.

I always enjoyed when i was blowing out the computer on my franchise mode and all the sudden it decided it had enough. Pick 6, Pick 6, sack, sack, and all the sudden a 35 point blowout is a score and onside kick from becoming a game. And they have the ball.

Oh, and did I mention that WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PLAY YOU ARE RUNNING EVERY SINGLE TIME.

 

Weak I-Form, Twin WR, Counter Weak? KNEW IT

Strong I-Form, Normal, Tight End post? PSSSHH, ALREADY IN COVER 3

Shotgun, Trip WR, HB Screen to the right? BLITZ, LB SPY, COVER 2, AND BROKE THROUGH THE BLOCKS. WHAT NOW BIOTCH?

Or, if you're playing online - they are throwing a slant pass and no matter the coverage you select or the player you control, it will be completed for 5-20 yards.

It makes sense, and it's probably something I'll do in the next 5 years, but it's just sports games, which is even stuipder. Sports games are fun but there's no magic or happy ending, except maybe in my player modes when you retire, I have never gotten far enough...it gets boring after you max out allt he stats and you can just go crazy over all the fools.

 

At least games like Skyrim and Borderlands and Fallout and whatever else have such large worlds that there is always something to do and someplace new to discover. GTA to a lesser extent too.

BTW, I also request that we start taxing paintball (violent game with guns), require an additional fee any time you want to watch football (violent sport), and increase the tax on Nerf guns.

 

But football is too American to tax.

That move is why I stopped playing football video games. The no look turnaround pick was the worst thing.

Only games I've played over the past few years have been the Assassins Creed series, Uncharted series and FIFA

Eerily similar to my library.

 

I've started getting into cheaper, shorter downloadable games like Journey and Unfinished Swan. Really hard to rage at those type of games. They keep it simple and look amazing.
