PSNOT 2.0 - I kind of want to subscribe to IndieBox.

[PancakesAreLove]

I have the furthest to go since I started later, but I dont think those guys are all that far past me. I still have 80 missions left (20, 29, and 31 for Very Hard, Overkill, and Deathwish respectively) to go out of 148 and a ton of the other trophies for doing things in particular missions as well.

Mission SS Link

Damn that is a lot more missions, sweet. Do we actually have to keep track of all our missions completed?

Also is Deathwish actually difficult? I remember when you are a high enough level solo Overkill is fairly easy.

You don't have to, it is kept track of in game, but it takes a bit of time to step through and see which ones you need. You can see at the mission start page if you have completed that mission, but I like having the sheet for when I decide to try and play a few games with randoms if nobody else is available.

Deathwish is pretty damn tough on the missions that are already more tough to begin with. I am not looking forward to trying to get through some of those to be honest.

So with GW3 and RocketLeague coming out today, anyone going to hit up helldivers again?

Looks like they got a new expansion update with new trophies.  I'm guessing this only concerns mild

I'll probably try it out but jesus way too much shit out all of the sudden. I now have on deck:

- batman ak new story+ (10% done)

- skullgirls 2nd encore

- geometry wars 3 vita

- rocket league

- new helldivers content

- new blazblue game

- freshly patched ultra street fighter 4

They'll probably release tembo the badass elephant today to insure that my head explodes.

 

[Thermopyle]

First I've heard of this. Nice. Other than Michael Sam this is the only somewhat high-profile gay athlete I'm aware of. Granted I'm not that aware of sports, but still.

Pancakes, not sure if your Gamefly sub already ran out or not, but they have a keep price for it for $33.  Compared to the $50 it costs in retail stores, that is not a bad price.  It would be a slower but cheaper way to get it if you still have a sub and want to buy instead of rent.

 

[handsomepete]

man the new dlc gear looks sweet though - an anti-tank mech and a motorcycle with a side car?  barbed wire fences?  awesome.

Ehh I might just rent it. I have the sub for another month and BB would be cheaper if I wanted to buy since I get 20% off and I got like $30 in GC.

If they release Tembo today nothing else matters. Cause he is badass.

Wait can I use my $5 rewards coupon on a "keep" item?

 

[GamingGator]

Wait can I use my $5 rewards coupon on a "keep" item?

Yes you can. They sent me an email and it would only be like $25 (10% discount and $5 reward cert) out of pocket for me. If there were more things I was interested in renting right now, I would probably buy it.

That's the one that always gets me. affect and effect is a close runner up.

But yeah, if tembo drops today that's the only thing I'll be playing for a while.

 

[crunchewy]

Guacamelee is harder on Vita than PS4. The PS4 "Super Turbo Championship Edition" seems to be "easy mode" because it has that meter that fills up as you do combos and then can unleash while it runs down and do more damage than normal. Unless I somehow missed unlocking that in Vita version? Turns out I had stopped at Jaguar Javier way back when in the Vita version. I tried to beat him a few times without having that feature and wasn't successful.

 

[wrencrest]

That's the one that always gets me. affect and effect is a close runner up.

Ensure and insure is the only thing I can remember so it actually does bother me (not really). Cause if I can remember it I would think everyone should! I am terrible with English.

Oh man that Subway dude's house got raided this morning in a child porn investigation.

 

[handsomepete]

it's nice that the new trophies in helldivers are just for defeating the new bosses which is all I would want to do anyways.

looks like skullgirls 2nd encore might have separate trophy lists for ps4 and vita which is pretty cool, but that might change later when the vita release actually drops.  the game is still terrific - big band is a bad ass.  I've already had my first run in with someone that could string together 50 hit combos and make me look like a wiener.

Zimm, I stole this from a beer forum in case you wanted some interesting new places to go. The guy who wrote these works for Surly. These were after someone suggested Town Hall, Steel Toe, Blue Door, and Indeed.

All sound good. Surly on Wednesday might be the best choice since Thursday starts to get busier.

Fair State is making good beer.

Best wings in town and it isn't close.

Some other good places to consider. If you guys can figure out where you want to go, I can try and arrange it to hit as many as possible in the days you're around.

Republic - Right across the street from Town Hall. Usually has a good tap list.

I keep forgetting Town Hall Tap and Town Hall Lanes are new to you guys. I haven't even been to the Lanes.

Bakes can speak to Muddy Waters

Burgers at Red Cow might be better than Blue Door. There, I said it. They also have 40 usually awesome taps. You won't get Blucys or the cheap ass happy hour here, but you've also been to Blue Door...

Dangerous Man's beers are consistently good.

 

[QuarterRoy00]

First I've heard of this. Nice. Other than Michael Sam this is the only somewhat high-profile gay athlete I'm aware of. Granted I'm not that aware of sports, but still.

Does the WNBA count? Lots of openly gay athletes talk about their spouses from that league and no one bats an eye. Also Jason Collins in the NBA, but he was old didn't play much when he came out, but he had the highest selling jersey for awhile when we finally caught on with a team after.

Good looking out. Definitely gonna check some of those out.

I went to the Indeed tap room last week (where I had my hibiscus infused beer) and enjoyed my time there. Had a couple of the Town Hall Lanes selections too. Good stuff.

I want to try to make it to all the local tap rooms now that I've met some people that enjoy trying new beers as much as I've started to.

I go from being super excited about no mans sky to thinking it looks absolutely terrible and boring as shit, to super excited again. I've never had such mixed emotions on a game before.

Oh man that Subway dude's house got raided this morning in a child porn investigation.

I've been trying to figure out where exactly since I found out. Pretty sure he lives close to my office, but none of the reporters have tweeted with their location settings on. Its rainy as here too, can't be fun for the cops.

I wonder if the changes they made gave the game more longevity. The PC version of this has been around for a while and is generally regarded as not having any reason to replay, from what I understand.

Yeah, zionsville is pretty big and there's a couple different areas where a house like his could have been.

Okay, that makes sense. He's definitely within a 15 min drive from my office. Weird. I didn't even know dude was from around here.

Recently I've been looking into obtaining another degree. Mostly because my job pays a significant amount for me to take classes, and I feel like I'm just flushing money down the toilet if I'm not taking advantage. I was originally looking at an MBA, but I'm not so sure on it. Then I stumbled upon a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership.

Has anyone ever heard of this field or degree? It seems to focus more on leadership theory and practices over the business stuff of an MBA.

Never heard of it. Sounds like a degree to teach you how to sucker people into buying self help books. Or even better. How to write corporate bullshit books like "who moved my cheese" that you can sell to every big company in the world as a way for them to develop leadership across their global footprint.

I'm currently getting paid as well to get my masters, getting a masters in finance with a specialization in organizational leadership. I'm doing it online and honestly if I were paying out of pocket I wouldn't do it. But the fact that I am getting paid to made it a no brainer to continue. Problem as been the professors, they don't really do anything except make random posts in discussions and grade things, in which I have received a perfect score for almost every assignment. I don't feel justified to be getting the perfect scores, so I think they are just doing a pass or fail, so I have no idea if what I am learning is right or not.

I did take it in my own hands to begin shadowing our accounting department, sit downs with our controller, and a sit down with my CFO to get hands on stuff now that I have a general idea. All of it is somewhat easy and a lot of plugging numbers in to formula that you can learn from hands on. So hopefully it helps, if not I get a free paper that says I have my masters.

Also be careful with how they pay for school. If it is categorized as tuition reimbursement it isn't completely free. after you receive around $5000 in a calendar year, they star taking taxes out and don't cover the difference, so you have to either get loans or cover out of pocket.

I'm really frigging tired today. Yesterday sucked balls. Work wasn't too bad, but then I sat in 2 hours worth of traffic on my way home (should take about 25 mins). Then I had to do some work from home. I went to sleep too friggin late, woke up late, sat in more traffic this morning and now I'm back at work.

Super Impossible Road coming to PS4:

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/07/07/introducing-super-impossible-road-a-new-kind-of-racing-game-for-ps4

Looks like a rainbow road kinda racer. You can't slow down or jump or anything like that, just have to stay on the track. You can leave it and try to take shortcuts (the track loops through space) but if you jump the track for more than 5 seconds you respawn.

Not sure who the audience is for this. I hated the Rainbow Road levels of SMK and also disliked the similar racing tracks in Wipeout 2048. I guess some people like that stuff.
