Off Topic 2013

Re: Off Topic 2013

I watch and like The Walking Dead but the writing and dialog on there can be cringe worthy at times. Still a very entertaining show.

Speaking of television shows. Anyone have a chance to check The Bridge on FX or Ray Donovan on Showtime? Have both sitting on the DVR and was curious to see what others think about em.

There should not be ASPCA commercials in the middle of Zach and Miri Make a Porno. I took 0% of it seriously lol.

I can't even watch those commercials. Way too depressing.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I still need to see Season 3 of The Walking Dead. Waiting on that DVD/Blu-Ray, even though I probably could just speed through it on the computer.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I've been going through Freaks and Geeks watching one episode every other night or so. I knew the main cast are all stars now, but seeing some of the side characters pop up and be familiar is startling. Seeing Rashida Jones aka Ann Perkins from Parks and Rec being the complete opposite of perky and nice was hilarious.

I need to watch this too.

I thought that was funny too + Ben Stiller and the hot red head, who's name currently escapes me. I dug into IMDB a while back and looked at where most of the cast are now.

I hated that it was only one season. It should be a lesson to major Networks not to jump the gun on ratings and cancellations. Some shows take time to gain popularity (Arrested Development).

Lindsay Weir looked a lot like the girl I've been dating does. I know that may be weird, but it really is startling how similar they look.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Caved in and purchased NCAA 14 last night. First football game for me since Madden 12. Must say I had a blast in the two games I played. Some issues, but overall the game is flat out fun. Which is all I can ask for in a video game.

Even thinking about joining an online dynasty this year. So if anyone in OT is on the 360 and happens to know of an open spot in a quality league let me know.

Gonna start a dynasty with U Mass once rosters are released.

Between NCAA, finally having a PS3 and The Show again, Grand Theft Auto V, Far Cry 3, and my stack of unopened 360 games, I think selling my launch PS4 is the route I'm going to take if there is a market out there. Seems to be the most logical thing to do.

Why do people do this? And I even do it myself and can't explain it. I got about 5-10 games I've put in once to check for updates, but have never sat down and played. Why buy them if we aren't going to touch them forever? They aren't going to disappear off the face of the Earth. They will almost certainly be cheaper unless there is a helluva black Friday deal or after Christmas sale. Amazon's delivery is quick so it's not like we could finish one and have to wait a month to get another one delivered. I don't order twice as much pizza because I figured, "Oh, some day I'll want to eat more pizza, so might as well order it now."

I guess it isn't only games either because I know people that go and buy like a dozen books at once. And a year later, they've read half of them and can't give a reason why they bought them all at once.

For me buy 2 get 1 free deals are the culprit. I wait until newer games hit below $40 and manage to grab 3 of them for around $60 because they're buy 2 get 1 free.

The end result is 1 or 2 of the games end up going unopened and falls deeper down the ol' backlog stack.

Off the top of my head the games I know for a fact are still sealed just waiting to be played are...

Borderlands 2
Rayman Origins
Hitman: Absolution
The Walking Dead
Splinter Cell: Conviction

But you're right. Even though I got them at a good price they would be even cheap if I had just waited. The funny thing is I probably will pick up 4 or 5 more on Black Friday.

I guess I can't help myself.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I've gotten so now that I'll "watch" a handful of movies/games in my Amazon cart and check them a couple times a week to see how the prices are and wait for them to go down to my level of acceptance.

Yea, that's the only thing I can figure. It's like I get stuff anticipating that I'll make time, and it never happens. I mean, I got games from Cyber Monday deals and B2G1 at Best Buy from nearly 3 years ago that I still haven't touched haha. One is explainable, though. I was so burned out after AC and AC2 I just haven't even wanted to touch Brotherhood so it has yet to be played. Similar with the God of War series. Still haven't touched 3. Maybe some day... whenever some day is.
