I really hope the Wii U turns things around and starts selling good. Would be nice to see that system get some damned third party support. But that's what's dogged every nintendo system since the N64 isnt it?

Get a real online system and graphics on par with the other two and they'll start getting more third-party support.

I love the Big N, but their online is a huge turn-off. To play Mario Kart 7 with a buddy, you can't even join a lobby together right away and then search, you need to have one person start a random worldwide search, and when they join a game, the other person can finally join in. But sometimes one person has to watch a whole race first, and hope that you don't get disconnected, which happens a lot. Then there's no voice chat, so we need to use Skype to communicate when one of us gets connected, which isn't immediately obvious because I don't believe it even says everyone's user names during the race. Oh, and make sure you have their friend code first. </rant>

Gotta get those legendary weapons and a decent shield and even then it can get pretty darn difficult.

I had a good shield, but I don't think I had many legendaries, if any. I don't think I had any of those gold keys or whatever to open the rare chests.

Was it the Bee Shield? Cause that's the best shield in the game IMO. Farm Gettle for the Lyuda, King Mong for the Baddaboom, and Hunter Hellqvist for the Bee Shield. All are essentials IMO. You'd have to get the shift code of the week from Gearbox's twitter in order to get one of those keys and even opening that rare chest doesn't give you legendaries. It's all purple weapons.

Ah, okay. It's been too long so I don't remember which shield or specific weapons I had.

Hm, from the title that would seem to suggest the next threat is extragalactic invasion. Gonna have to build me a new machine to play this one on.

No one pumped about E3? Thought Microsoft had a great conference. The little I've seen of the new UI looks great, backwards compatibility coming, free EA Access this week (meaning you can download and play NHL 15, Titanfall, NFS, Fifa and others and play for free all week), few new interesting looking IPs, customizable controller..

The new Halo multiplayer mode sounds like it could be awesome. 12 v 12 v AI. Kind of like a mix of big team battle and firefight. That could be epic if they pull it off. Good stuff today.

Sony's conference is now, but I'm no Sony guy.

I decided to watch Sony's conference for no particular reason. And then I saw a trailer starting with an Io Interactive logo.

"No ****ing way" I thought. "Is this Hitman?"

47 appears in the trailer

"IT'S HITMAN!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I honestly had no idea they were gonna reveal Hitman at E3 this year. I'm probably the biggest Hitman fan any of you have ever seen. #hype

This E3 has been a major let-down so far.

Too much of what's been talked about was already known, or at least strongly rumored. The few legit new ideas are way too far out for me to get excited about.

The new controller peaks my interest since it will be a cheaper option than Scuf Gaming. But Scuf has patents on anything paddle or trigger stop related on controllers. Not savvy at all when it comes to licensing and patents. Perhaps someone can chime in on that.

I fully disagree. Fallout 4. The wait is almost over. The release date is known. Just over 3000 hours to go. Bethesda killed It.

One of my favorite series for sure. Everything about the first game blew my mind. The story, the art direction, the vibe.. So good.

Yup, absolutely amazing game. Probably rank it #2 on my all-time list behind Super Mario 64.

I really enjoyed the original Bioshock, but Bioshock Infinite didn't hold my attention for some reason.

Dood... a FFVII remake :yo:

I kinda gave up on it ever being remade like 10 years ago (or whenever that PS3 Demo was shown), but now that it's actually happening... I'll have to find myself the time to play it.

In NHL 15, the powerplays SLIGHTLY downgrade the save percentage of the team that's down. Got 5 and a game with Coyle, was up 2-0 against the ducks in the 2nd with 15 to play. 5 shots, 5 goals in 5 minutes. I mean actually what the ****.

Yeah, NHL games seem to have rubber band AI. I'll get up 5-0 and then all of the sudden the computer will get 4 goals on 6 shots.

Got bored and started a GM Mode in NHL 15 (free to play this week from EA Access). Traded Brodin + 1st for RNH, then simmed the whole season. Nino puts up 28+45 and we lose the tiebreaker to the Rangers for the Presidents trophy. Then simmed the playoffs and lost in the 1st round to the Canucks after a 3-1 series lead.

So the answer is clearly no, RNH will not help us advance further in the playoffs. :propeller
