N's hit it on the head (Pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but anyway) I'm spending $2200 to basically future proof it as much as I can, and I do plan on streaming games/try my hand at video editing/etc. Plus, I really want to see what Alan Wake and Just Cause 2 look like on max settings, SOOOO. :P

Y'know, Destiny may have a few (read: a lot) of issues, but I'm still having a lot of fun with the game. It's just fun to play.

They changed the story at the last minute (same time as the head writer left) and it was supposed to be about discovering that the Traveler is actually bad and you have to stop it from reviving. Also the black garden was supposed to be inside of the Traveler.

It isn't as cool now, but just hunting for exotic items is enough to keep me hooked.

^That's what I meant. I didn't know the specifics, but I knew that it was something basically being cobbled together due to the head writer leaving.

Already own a physical copy of Super Metroid, Link To The Past, and I'm not a huge fan of Punch Out, admittedly...even if Lil' Mac is one of my favorite Smash characters.

AUGH! You can't be friends with me Statler. I hate Little Mac. He's the worst character in every way.

Smash Bros Wii U with Link, Kirby, Mario and Samus Amiibos. The dream is real.


Hank Hill
Well, as much as I love it...LittleBigPlanet 3 was /definitely/ rushed for its November release date. So buggy. D:

@Snaker: PS4.
@Sorceror: Nothing game-breaking, but definitely enough to be flat-out annoying. Such as: Almost none of the DLC/LBP1 or LBP2 items are available in LBP3 yet, sometimes loading times can be a bit long (though as a whole, they're WAY better than LBP2's), and a few other things that I shouldn't get into cause spoilers/etc. But, as soon as those're patched, this'll be my favorite PS4 release yet. :o

well doesn't seem too bad but i can see how it can be an annoyance. Any word on a patch soon?

So I'm spending way too much tomorrow. Went to Toys R Us, preordered Smash Bros Wii U (cause free Amiibo), three Amiibos (cause 3 for $30) and I'm going to pick up LEGO Batman 3 with it because there's a B1G1 40% off deal when you buy LEGO Batman 3 for any system. :P

Hank Hill
Ooor it's only for Sony systems. So looks like I'm getting a Wii U or 3DS game...Tomodachi Life seems like a thing I'd buy.

Offbrands the the colors are off. You can get a name brand for less than 200 bucks. Esp refurbished

I may not have heard of westinghouse, but the reviews seem rather positive. 4/5 stars over 290 reviews doesn't sound too bad, so maybe I'll check it out. Was planning on waiting till Cyber Monday or something to buy one

Westinghouse is as old as maybe Sony. US company but their TV's LCD back light is known to break down easy. Vizio is a inexpensive but decent TV. But like I said it's best to go namebrand refurbished. Usually refurbished is someone opened the box but returned it so it's often just brand new

Oh, right, never did mention. The 4 Star playthrough was very successful. Finished in 2 hours 10 minutes with just over 20000 gold, 160 orbs, and no deaths. :)

http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8278s-clevo-p170sma-eta-march-p-6985.html?wconfigure=yes So this is roughly the laptop I'm planning on buying towards the end of this month. Probably going to leave the graphics card as-is, possibly upgrade to 32GBs of RAM. Only problem I can see with the RAM upgrade is that I'd have to use Windows 8.1...not sure how that is for gaming. But past that, I've really got no idea what I should be adding/swapping/removing. The plan was to spend around...

I look at it like this: Yes, it's $2000, but as far as games are concerned, I'm set for practically the next decade as far as being able to run things.

So Over The Garden Wall is one of the best things I've watched in a long time.
