Got a Wii U for Chanukah. Super Mario Land 3D and Nintendo Land are both awesome. The PS4 and Xbone may have better graphics and performance, but the Wii U beats them handily in terms of sheer creativity and fun.

Absolutely! Got a Wii U basic on launch day and just upgraded to that same bundle, with the intention of upgrading... plus reboxing the basic set, and giving it to friends that don't have a lot of money to buy gifts for their 6 year old son.

I'm not a hardcore gamer.... but I've always been loyal to Nintendo. They've always been about creativity and fun. Enjoy!

I want a Wii U just for Mario Maker.

Wewt! Just got my import of Biohazard (A.K.A. Resident Evil) Remake HD for the PS3. Now THIS is a treatment this game deserved all along! Absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to sink some hours into it this weekend!

Seems like Notch is Livin' la Vida Loca:

In case you needed a material transaction to illustrate just how much money Markus Persson, aka Notch, has having sold Mojang (and Minecraft) to Microsoft, take a look at this: the dude just paid $70 million (and maybe beat out Beyonce & Jay-Z) to buy the most expensive house in Beverly Hills.

That will ceartinly cause some itch in the minecraft community.

Love his twitter post!

I mean, why not? Microsoft's never going to get their money back on the game, he probably feels like he got away with murder on that one. Let him spend what he wants

Recieved a 3DS today, and I will be going to Gamestop tomorrow to pick up Smash 4 and one of the Pokemon R/S remakes. Between these two, I should be occupied for a long time.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #641 on:** December 25, 2014, 10:43:28 AM »

I'm pretty fuckin jelly. I've wanted a 3DS for a long time and have passed up two opportunities to get the XL for $150 in the last month (the first time, it even came with New Super Mario Bros. 2 preloaded on it) but I'm forcing myself to hold out for the new model when it's released in America in 2018.

TioJorge · « **Reply #642 on:** December 25, 2014, 11:42:53 AM »

Man, I hope we get it soon. I have an XL but I'm still gonna get the NXL because FUCKING XENOBLADE. Plus the new 3D is gonna look amazing on a lot of games, especially Mario, Zelda (MAJORAAAAAAAAAAAAA) and my precious Persona. Gonna be nice to have that 3D even when I'm twitching and shit. Cause cocaine. You know. Cool kids and all that. Wut?

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #643 on:** December 25, 2014, 02:29:29 PM »

So apparently both PSN and Xbox live are down and some stupid hacker group called Lizard squad are taking responsibility. Just a big facepalm but this is pretty hilarious to view though:

They did that a few weeks ago too. I was watching Netflix this morning when it went down. I figured it was the influx of new owners all trying to register/login at the same time. It really pisses me off because while it sucks that I can't use PSN, which I pay $50 a year for, I also can't use the other services I pay for like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. Total bullshit. I shouldn't need to be logged into the PSN to use those services.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #646 on:** December 25, 2014, 09:39:58 PM »

This shit pisses me the fuck off. Why do these people act like complete asshats and waste their skills in hacking on fucking over everyone else?
Can't even log in to my profile, fucking cunts.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #647 on:** December 26, 2014, 10:55:24 AM »

And BF4 servers (EA) are down again! The same for Xbox live and PSN?

TioJorge · « **Reply #648 on:** December 26, 2014, 11:04:29 AM »

Damn, that sucks... Yeah, people are cunts. Especially hackers.

So despite the fact that I'll probably never finish Shadow of Mordor, god is it fun to lay waste to an army of orcs with a bunch of their own comrades, garradors, and graugs and then after the last one falls he just casually slides his sword back into its sheath like, 'all in a days work!'. Bwaha!

Dark Castle · « **Reply #649 on:** December 26, 2014, 11:18:55 AM »

Xbox Live is working fine for me *knocks on wood*. Let my brother watch a movie on Netflix and I'm downloading Sunset Overdrive.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #650 on:** December 26, 2014, 11:29:11 AM »

Yea it seems to be isolated to EA or origin this time. Have some free time during the holidays and of course you can't play because of shit like this....

Dark Castle · « **Reply #651 on:** December 26, 2014, 11:31:01 AM »

Yeah, that really sucks

I was so mad last night not being able to really play anything. Really glad they got it back up though, todays daily deal on the Xbox Marketplace is Sunset Overdrive 50% off which I was going to buy full price as my next game but now I get a little bit of extra Christmas radularness

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #652 on:** December 26, 2014, 11:39:05 AM »

There's some insane DDosing from China towards the US:

Every minute or so you get huge lag and insane amount of attacks from what appears to be China.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #653 on:** December 26, 2014, 11:41:54 AM »

It takes a special sort of cunt to pull this kind of shit. Can't imagine how many parents felt like shit because they couldn't get anything to work and don't know what's happening as their kid's gift is seemingly ruined.

Ugh, I was really looking forward to playing BF4 today

Hey guys, I'm looking for some set of gaming headphones with microphones. They're for my brother, who plays lot of FPS online. Do you have any ideas on a good pair?

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #657 on:** December 26, 2014, 03:30:23 PM »

I can only recommend headsets I used so for me Sennheiser PC 360 Game have worked great so far. The sound is clear and full and they're comfortable to wear. This specific model may be old so try find a newer one. They're pretty expensive though but worth it imo.

Edit: Yay battlelog is up!

Dark Castle · « **Reply #658 on:** December 26, 2014, 08:16:37 PM »

Xbox Live core services are going haywire again. Explains why Sunset Overdrive took like 3 hours to install today and why I can't even get xbox video to work. Was going to watch The Interview with my dad and brother, but now we're just waiting for the DDoS attacks to stop. Could rent it again elsewhere, but I already spent $6 and don't intend on spending more.

Nick · « **Reply #659 on:** December 26, 2014, 08:27:52 PM »

I tend to focus on 1 or 2 games at a time, but hot damn, some of my friends/clan mates really need to relax and find other games for the time being. Hackers blow, outage sucks, but I swear they are hardcore addicted to Destiny and AW multi. I'm enjoying my continued revisit to Skyrim, and, as the last several months, the occasional Beyond Earth.

God forbid people want to play the games they got for Christmas right?
It took like 3 hours to install Sunset Overdrive because of these dilweeds, and now it's impossible to play it.

Nick · « **Reply #661 on:** December 26, 2014, 08:54:01 PM »

Like I said, I understand it's frustrating, but you need to play other games or do something else until it's fixed. Endlessly complaining about it and keeping yourself focused on it is only going to make it worse. I really want to play Destiny, I can't, and so I'm playing other stuff for now.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #662 on:** December 26, 2014, 08:55:43 PM »

I am doing other things, but it ruined the night for my dad, brother and I. We chose to do some Xbox One'ing instead of doing a fire pit which we're doing tomorrow now, and shit hit the fan. Now my brother's in bed, my dad's about to go to bed, and I'm left with probably going to bed myself and doing jackshit. All because a group of fucks want some attention before their sad, pathetic lives end without a bang.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #663 on:** December 27, 2014, 08:30:15 AM »

Kotowboy · « **Reply #664 on:** December 27, 2014, 09:16:32 AM »

While I wait for PSN to be up and running - I can write music, go for walks etc. The Crew will still be waiting for me when all is well.
