    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Currently fighting with Microsoft chat customer service, because back in 2012 my wife got me 4000 microsoft points, and I never used them. Then they converted points to dollars, but my balance is still $0.00. Never bought anything. I want them to tell me what I spent it on, or what happened to...

    Not that it was anything great, but just this morning I claimed September's game. Good timing!

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    So I've had Xbox Gold for a long time. Does it work the same as Ps4 for the Gold games that I can "tag" them to my account even though I don't have an Xbox right now? I just "bought" Tomb Raider, and so it looks to be. Just double checking. Thanks!

    Rock Band 4

    This game snuck up on me. I knew Fall release, but hadn't been paying attention. Of course it drops when I don't have a job and can't afford it, but I do have quite a few Ps4 games I don't play and I'm gonna see about trade in value. It'll be sad to lose all the songs I've purchased on Xbox...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Just started playing and I'm level 4. Do I need to be looking in every nook and cranny for things or does this game not do that? Or there hidden loot chests at all? Appreciate it!

    Actually wired but with static IP. Not sure if that makes a difference. I'll just not do any ports for now. Thanks!

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Have you guys had to forward any ports on your router for Destiny? I already gave my Ps4 a static IP, and have NAT Type 2, so am I good? I suppose forwarding them won't hurt anything.

    I have much better luck with the finger print scanner on my Note 5 after redoing my finger prints and moving my finger around a bit. Unlike the iPhone that gives you a picture of your print and tells you where you need to put your finger Samsung doesn't do that. Anyone have any experience...

    Got my first call back today for a job that uses my new CCNA cert. Pretty excited to be breaking into the networking field, and starting my new "career path". Hopefully the job isn't terrible, but it's basically network troubleshooting for a telecom company. Here's hoping they are not like...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I just played for the first time. Holy hell this game is dope as shit! Went with Titan for first play through. Saw in the mail I have a thing that can make me instant level 25. Is this for players who don't want to grind the story again? I was almost tempted just to get a boost in the game...

    Kids nap times, and my free time finally matched up. Gonna load this up for the first time right now. Guess it'll be a while before I hit raids, or have to do any co-op content, but add me if not already added. PSN name in sig.

    The RPG Thread

    So my childhood was messed up because I never played any of the final Fantasy games. With a lot being on Android now which would people recommend. I understand this question might have a lot of bias in the answers but which should I play first?

    Lol. 2 sisters I'm living with and wife are all gluten free. Went to a gluten free food convention today down in Portland. I agree that some of the breads are pretty damn good and eating gluten free isn't about always having gluten replacements every meal. Steak, potato, and a veggie is a...

    Anyone here have experience with the Amazon Fire for kids tablet? My main question is if it has a way to lock the screen no matter what app you are in? My son is 2.5 and loves to click home buttons or other things and then gets upset because his show or letters game has stopped. Thanks for...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Have had both the fries and the sandwich. Pretty legit for fast food imo. This is the second time they've come out with it so it must have done well. Suggestion on the fries. Don't get them if you have to drive home first. They get soggy and suck. Recommend to eat in restaurant or in parking lot.

    Hearthstone

    Good suggestions. I forgot about the arena ranking websites so I've blown my gold load on losing a bunch of arenas. Gotta build back up and will also get Naxx to help out. I don't mind at all being ranked in the low teens. I just get frustrated at the game like most people here have said. For...

    Spent a few days now with my Note 5, and I love it. Been a few things I didn't like in apps, and sure enough there was a setting to change it. Not used to that coming from iOS. Albeit it has gotten better. Only in one position, which happens to be in bed and trying to text, have I felt the phone...

    Tried out a basic warlock deck to try and get the daily done and getting stomped in casual mode. Any suggestions for a brand new player, with not very many cards at all that hasn't played since beta, how to start getting cards, so I can make the decks, to start winning? lol

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Picked up the legendary edition at Costco today for $50 so that was nice. Thought it was appropriate to get a picture of my 2 year old holding the game considering he had pre-ordered the game a year ago just by mashing controller buttons. (had to get a refund) Gonna go out and Google a...

    Just got back into the game as well. Add me if you want. And wow. What a reality check. Just came back over the weekend and did some arena. Went 4 wins with a priest deck. That was cool. Tonight I go 0-3 with a paladin and shaman deck. I need to go read up on new arena card pick suggestions...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    About to pick up the legendary edition and just wanted to make sure of something. How much PvP is necessary? I don't usually like PvP so wanted to avoid it basically. I'm pretty sure it can be completely avoided but wanted to make sure. Thanks.

    Made some new friends that all play destiny and they were rocking the latest dlc. Looked pretty fun, even if I did embarrass myself and say hey what's this halo 5? Lol What's the cost of entry to get into Destiny now? It still bugs me that they are raping people on the dlc content and prices...

    Heads up to Verizon iPhone users... So there's an Apple promo that you get $300 credit when you trade in your iPhone 5s (I assume amount changes depending on iPhone you are trading in), intended towards pre-ordering the iPhone 6s. Well, the lovely Verizon call center people with nothing...

    New Progression Server confirmed

    Burned out quick at lunch but friend of mine and I want to come back. Caught up on the last 2 months of posts. Damn, there's been some shit. Right before I left I had bought some Kronos cheap, so I think I at least played that one well.

    So new Verizon plans are gonna save me $80 a month just on the line access fees. Then I was told they are offering $300 trade in on iPhone 5s when upgrading to Note 5, and so for $16.50 a month or so I can get the Note 5. It's a good day for cell phones! I'll be giving up my unlimited data...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Clearly Steam came out at the wrong time in my life, when I started to have a family, and no time to game anymore. Or we can just blame it on MMOs.. Over the last 3 years, you've spent 466.2 hours playing this selection, which includes 84 items, is valued at $1467.77, and requires 618.7 GB

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    Pretty sure wind for the Barb King. Also, like everyone, got the magic knight, and slotted her with the 4 despair runes. The extra stuns have really helped my team. Just working my way through the scenarios now, after farming Giants B2-3 for a little while to get those runes.

    Bump! Just started this up recently, and I'm going strong. Just level 11 at the moment, and I bought the starter packs for $35 total. Figured it was a good deal and was already putting a lot of time into the game. Got 4* Barb King, and was told that he can carry me for a long time. Going to...

    This happened to my Droid Bionic's stock battery, so it's not just aftermarket. And people void their warranties for any number of reasons, but sell a $50-$100 battery that doubles your iPhone battery life, one of it's biggest problems, and I'm sure plenty would do it in a heart beat. I know...

    Ended up just replacing it at this mall kiosk. $90, was done by the time I got back from the food court, and has a 6 month warranty on the repair.
