Re: Off Topic 2012

What games are you guys looking to buy this Fall? I'm trying to limit myself to 3 games this Fall, but it may not be possible.

NHL 13

That is the entirety of my list.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Any of my fellow OS accountants preparing for CPA soon?

Just ordered my books, I will be in full on study mode starting September.

I need to get back in school. I know I will probably want to do the "bootcamp" prep-course, but I need more credit hours to be licensed (also 2 years more experience which they conveniently didn't tell us at school). I just need to decide if I will go back to JMU and just get my "masters" (1 year program) and that will get me enough credit hours or to just pick up some random business/accounting courses at the local community college for a less expensive route.

Only thing is I won't be able to do classes in the Spring semester.

Surprisingly, NJ doesn't have a job experience requirement and also allows one to sit for the exam with a minimum of 120 credits.

I currently sit at 130. I applied for a school close to my job but didn't get in due to work experience and my GMAT total score was skewed due to doing great on one section and not so on the other.

I decided to go ahead and sit for the exam, (probably first one in Jan) and then if/when I pass, I will decide if I want to pursue a Masters or just go take a few classes. (I already meet all the education requirements minus credits)

One thing is for sure, there is absolutely no way I can go to school in NJ while working in NYC.

One of my coworkers just took his first exam and failed by 2 with a 73. That's disheartening.

I'm planning on just getting Halo 4 and Hitman. NCAA 13 should tide my sports fix up until The Show next spring.

Oh yeah, I can take it. To be licensed is when the extra hours and work experience comes in. Its weird to me that you can sit and pass the test, but still have to wait to be considered licensed.

Ahh, I haven't checked other states' requirements. I know NY does not allow you to sit unless you have 150 credits.

I figured I want to get rid of all things that involve studying and classes ASAP.

I don't have the confidence in myself that I will be able to pick up some books and study 3-4 years from now.

I'm going to try to stay focused on my football online leagues this year for NCAA & Madden. Last year there were too many games that came out that caused me to stray (Batman AC, BF3, Gears of War & NBA 2K), so this year my plan is to try to stay away from those games until at least Black Friday. At that time I'll probably get Halo 4 and NBA 2K, but that should be it for me.

I'm hoping that The Last of Us comes out sometime in the spring, if not, then I don't really know what my next purchase will be. Maybe NCAA 14?

How many google street view cars are there? I saw one today and got all excited like I'd seen a unicorn.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I don't really have anything on my Radar. I have a ton of games I currently need to go through. Drives me nuts to have those sitting there. Plus all the freebies from PS+. I'm set. I still have 3-4 of the free games in my cart on the PSN I need to DL. I guess if there was one I might pick up it'd be Skyrim.

Hitman
AC III
Dark Souls Prepare to Die edition (well its DLC on the consoles around then PC gets it "officially" on the 24th of this month)
NBA 2k13

i actually think that's it this time. Last year so many damn games came out fall/winter I wanted it was absurd.

Of the games which have solid release dates, Madden PS3 and Persona 4 The Golden on Vita. Fence-riding on several other known releases, and there are several that don't have dates (FFX HD for one) that I'm interested in.

I don't think there's a verified number, but I've seen educated guesses that there are about 30 in the U.S.

This or FIFA, and I'll probably wait till BF for deals on them

What if the season doesn't start on time? Will that kill the game for you?

The only for-sure on my list for this fall is Football Manager 13. Basically the only game I play these days.

I still have the first Dragon Age just sitting on my PS3 waiting for a full play-through. I started in on it just to get the hang of how things work, meant to re-start, but just haven't gotten back to it.

I suppose if GTA comes out, I'll have to get that, but I'm not holding my breath.

I've been getting it in with some SNES games too. I also started replying NFS Most Wanted through my PC. I just stream to my TV with an HDMI cord and use a ps3 controller.
