So, this lady just walks in the dealership and sits down with another SA.

She addresses the whole dealership out loud and says, "So.. where the Auburn fans at ? Are they any Auburn fans up in here?".

I say, "Yeah, why ?".

She says (still in a yelling voice), "I just want to make sure you saw that *** whupping we put on Michigan and to remind you about your loss to Clemson. You guys suck and will never be as good as Alabama".

That right there, is the type of ignorance I hate, that you find in A LOT of Alabama fans.

My response was, "I don't have anything to say, because I like my job too damn much"... and she didn't say anything else.

I've noticed this kind of thing start to arise from Michigan State fans recently. I'm not even a U of M fan, but it just pisses me off to no end. I went to the dining area on EMU's campus on Saturday night and the Michigan-Alabama game was on the TV. All these State fans were being obnoxious and talking about how bad Michigan was, how MSU was the best team in the country, how U of M was an embarrassment for losing to Bama, etc. So of course being the smart*** I am, I decided to walk up and try to convince them there was flaw in their logic.

After about 15 minutes of trying to convince them that the defending national champs are a much larger challenge than a Boise team which lost a bunch of NFL talent over the last couple seasons, I gave up. As I walked away, one of them yelled at me that "U of M was an embarrassment to the Big 10." I responded with the words "49-7...2010 Capital One Bowl...look it up and try to tell me about embarrassment." Safe to say I won that argument.

All you Amazon Prime people: Amazon added a lot of instant titles today including Thor, Captain America, Rango, and some television shows such as Parks and Rec and Heroes.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Speaking of that Toys R Us deal, I haven't bought a game since The Show 11, and I want NCAAF 13 this year. Was thinking of waiting for a BB or Target B2G1 deal, but that's still $120 and I'm not a person with that kinda scratch.

Problem is, I'm a 99% sports gamer and I don't know if I'll even play any of those other games listed. The only PS3 game I own that isn't a sports game is GTA4 and I'm only like 3% done with it.

So I'm looking for a little advice. Between Sleeping Dogs, Darksiders 2, CoD:MW3, Prototype 2, Mass Effect 3, and Battlefield 3, which game would be best for a guy that never plays online, likes a decent story line without having to use my brain too much, with somewhat simple controls?

I've never played any other iteration of those games except for a CoD game for PS2 that I didn't really play more than a couple days. Also, I only have PS3 so exclude any of those listed above that are 360 exclusive because I have no idea if any of them are.

Or should I just wait for a B2G1 deal, where I would likely get NCAA 13, Madden 13, and NHL 13? I wish I could put a poll on this post lol

The Mass Effect games are some of the best games I've ever played and I highly recommend them out of all the titles you listed. Darksiders 2 isn't one I've played, but I did play the first one...and it was a thinking game lol so that eliminates that one. CoD: MW3 is more of an online game but the story is halfway interesting.

Battlefield 3 is a solid game, but again its replay value is highly dependent on online play. I've honestly never played Prototype or Sleeping Dogs so there's definitely a better source to ask about those.

Re: Off Topic 2012

What's the Mass Effect series all about anyway? Do you get to kill a bunch of aliens and stuff? I'm kinda leaning in that direction, I think I'll youtube up some gameplay footage and see if it looks appealing.

Mass Effect series is the greatest series in a while of all of gaming. Not since the Metal Gear Solid days of the 90s was I so engrossed in a story line of a series.

Well worth owning. And the DLC for the entire series is just awesome.

If you're going to get Mass Effect 3 without getting 1 and 2, I really don't see the point.

Mass Effect has the deepest storylines of any video game I have come across and I don't really know how they can be one upped. I know in games like Red Dead you learn to love characters, but in Mass Effect you feel like you KNOW the characters. Just getting 3 would mean you'd miss out on over half the experience.

Get all three. I promise you will be blown away.

Well that blows, I definitely don't want to buy all 3, especially since the only reason I'm looking at ME3 in the first place is the toys r us deal. Bleh, I'm probably better suited waiting for a b2g1 deal to re-up my sports titles which are still all in the '11 collection, minus CH2k8.

Mass Effect 1, 2 & 3 are $20 a piece. Well worth the $60 to get all 3.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I want a phone but I can't figure out which one. Ugh. Currently debating between an iPhone. HTC One S or Samsung Galaxy (S II HD LTE or III).

Wait until next Wednesday and get the iPhone 5.

You mentioned that your last game purchase was The Show. If you're playing on PS3, just know that Mass Effect 1 isn't available on PS3. Only 2 and 3

Yeah I'm just gonna pass on the deal, I'm thinking maybe I'll just do ebay and get a used NCAA instead, or go to the gamestop about a mile down the road but I hate going there because they ask me all these questions I don't know the answer to, like "do you have a game card?", "what's your phone number?" How am I supposed to know that stuff, get off me!
