Posted on r/comicbooks: Question about the ending of Daredevil: End of Days (spoilers)
So in the last book it’s revealed what Mapone is referring to. But I don’t see the connection to Bullseye and what made him kill himself? Or did I miss it somewhere?
-
I have Superman 2 playing in the background. It’s a bit annoying that Faora-ul wasn’t named Ursa in Man of Steel
-
Ugh, sleep cycle’s out of whack
-
Quick Man of Steel review: it’s a very good action movie. Better than TDK? No.
-
2014? Probably 2015 at the earliest. I only got the PS3 3 years into it’s lifespan I think
-
They’re also from two franchises only!
-
Will I need reddit gold to play multiplayer?
-
There is no reason not to do this. I started getting the games as soon as the Vita IGC started, although it was almost half a year later that I got a Vita.
-
Mick, are you an XBox or Playstation kind of guy?
During your time as a pro wrestler, how did you explain to your kids what you were doing and how you were getting hurt? Did it give you any trouble raising them that they might try some of the dangerous stuff you do?
Who do you think is the best superstar in the WWE right now?
-
Frankly, I dont consider any of the existing or past consoles to have pretty designs.
-
The console features weren’t very exciting so if they had something new there that might have helped. Although TBH the hardware spec bump is pretty significant already, I don’t mind this so much.
More exclusives would have been nice, although I have to say Second Son is looking pretty sweet. I don’t actually care for the XBox “exclusives” myself, but the longer list of titles on that side makes it easier for XBox fans to talk themselves out of switching.
And Vita owners everywhere will say: more Vita support, more Vita games, Vita/memory card price drops. The Vita is a clear differentiator over MS (and even Nintendo - the Vita and the 3ds dont actually occupy the exact same market niche in terms of games) so more PS4 x Vita features would have been great too.
Right now, they clearly won over MS, but that’s only because MS made so many blunders along the way. If all of the above had been provided, xb1 might have been buried so hard whoever manages to pull it out of that hole would be named king of england.

@GaslampGames you know what would be great? Dungeons of Dredmor on the PS Vita!

I went home early so I could sleep. Just woke up!

Posted on r/truegaming: Why hasn’t Nintendo come out yet with a Mario game that includes a level editor?
I was playing LBP and I was thinking it would be pretty sweet to have a level editor and community-created levels for a Mario game. It would legitimize all those romhacks that create fun or impossible stages, etc. Why hasn’t Nintendo done something like this?

Sony just won E3 over Microsoft, hands down
-
For the PS3, it is allowed to have the same account activated on up to two machines. If they follow the same scheme for PS4, then you could have a single PS+ sub with the account on both machines.
-
This is untrue, at least for the PS3. Any account on the PS3 can run any content download by other accounts on the same machine. Source: I have 2 brothers and we each have a couple of accounts, only I have PS+ and they can run the downloads fine.
-
It’s PS3 exclusive.
-
Lawl, them’s fighting words!

I think Spike TV announced earlier that they would be Microsoft exclusive for E3 (I hear “they paid us some monies”)
Also, there’s /r/Games, /r/ps3 subs that you can join for the sony news.
-
There doesn’t seem to be anything too interesting in the iOS7 announcement?
-
Sleepiness starting to catch up. Time for a short jog
-
Went ahead and preordered Duels 2014 on Steam. duh, it’s not like I’m going to skip it.
-
XBox One debuting at $500, a terrible price point. PS4 coming in at $400 or less would blow them away
I could get another couple hours of sleep…or I could just stay up and watch more e3 stuff
So apparently Plants vs Zombies is a third person shooter now #E3
Bah, the stream quality is terrible #E3
Looks like Morrigan’s back in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Won’t be out til late 2014 though. #E3

I have both (well technically, I have access to both…the 3DS is my brother’s and he doesn’t use it.) I’ve had access to the 3DS longer, the Vita is only a couple of months old.
I use the Vita a lot more because reasons:
-
The screen is very very nice, especially compared to the 3DS screens. My eyes hurt a bit after a while of using the 3DS (even with 3D off). The Vita games also look a lot better compared to 3DS ones.
-
Playstation Plus. Nuff’ said.
-
No online account for the 3DS means I’m not going to make digital purchases off the eShop, which limits my available library. I’m worried about losing or breaking the system and losing access to all my purchases.
-
I just find that I like more games on the Vita. I like Mario and Zelda on the 3DS (the new Legend of Zelda will probably be the next game I play on 3DS), but aside from that most of the library is meh for me. I played Tales of the Abyss and Paper Mario Sticker Star on the 3ds but both got boring for me quickly. I might try out Fire Emblem, and if there’s a new Advance Wars I’d jump on that. On the Vita, I’ve been playing P4G, Disgaea 3, Gravity Rush and I want to go through SFxT and Blazblue:CS, then there’s Uncharted, Final Fantasy Tactics and I heard Zero Escape was good, and I want to try Guacamelee, and one of these days I’m going to give in to impulse buying urges and get Xenogears off the store, oh and if LBP vita went on sale I’d get that, etc.
-
Achievements/Trophies. I realize a lot of people don’t care for them and don’t “get” people who like them and that’s fine, more power to you. But I do like them, though I’m not like a platinum hunter or anything like that.

There is no guarantee that blocking used games will increase profits. It’s even possible for it to decrease profits since consumers will have less money to spend due to being unable to sell their used games.

Reply to 'Marvel Unlimited' on /r/comicbooks:
I’ve been subbed for a month or so, it’s been fine so far, although you get the occasional random word balloons missing for some reason. There’s also a few seconds load time when opening a comic.

This coming week: E3, Man of Steel, The Last of Us, new PS+ games, Game of Thrones S3E10, WWDC, more NBA Finals, kind of a slow week.
-
Is there anyway to know what games are upcoming in the U.S. store?
Only for the coming month, since they announce all of the month’s free games on the first week.
And if I buy a U.S. subscription, and I later buy a Europe one when the U.S. expires, can I still acces my games I bought with the U.S. account?
Nope.
Is it possible to buy a code in stores in the EU and use it on the U.S. store?
The code you buy would have to specifically be for the US store; ask the clerk at the store you’re buying at to give you a US code/card.
-
I don’t see why not, it’s just a normal web browser.

Self-control isn’t easy for everybody.

Reply to 'angry words' on /r/comics:

-
- As large as you can, especially if you’re getting PS+. I’d recommend 160 at the minimum. For PS1 classics, I think FF9 is 1.5 gigs, that should be typical. For PS3 games, they range in size from 5-20gb (I think Uncharted
3, which will be free on PS+ after Jun 11 will be more than 20gb)
-
I would just get the latest model unless BC is really, really important, the only BC models are the really old ones, the first generation so they’re likely to have more hardware problems. There are some PS2 games available on PSN.
-
There’s usually 10 PS3 games and some number of PSP/Vita games available in the instant game collection at any one time. Around 4-5 of them cycle in and out every month. You can check this link for the current list for the NA store: https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/free-games/cid=STORE-MSF77008-PSPLUSFREEGAMES
-
New PS+ free games are added weekly for North America, but announcements are made before the first Tuesday of the month. Not sure how it works for Europe.
-
I have no idea

Reply to 'Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what do you think of it?' on /r/Games:
I started up Persona 4: Golden on the Vita. It’s mildly addictive, because I keep wanting to maximize what I do everyday. If you haven’t played it, it’s a weird cross of dungeon crawling with Pokemon-like battles (elemental weaknesses, etc) and Life/Dating Sim (for the noncombat parts); the relationships you build in the noncombat parts improve the Personas (pokemon) you can use in the dungeons, the noncombat stats unlock quests that require you to farm in the dungeons, etc. I think I’ve played some 20-30 hours since starting it around Tuesday or Wednesday.
-
Wala naman. It’s just that (as Dan Brown knows), Filipinos are too effing sensitive.
-
You can make an NA account from anywhere, but if you plan to use credit card payments for the store, it will only accept cards with a US address. I’m from SE Asia and I have an NA account, I use prepaid PSN cards for buying stuff.
Edit: and yes, if you have both the NA account and your main account on the same PS3, your main account can play downloads from the NA account.
