I think I was still using Gamefly in 2011 to rent games. It was fun, but I didn't like not having control over what I got next. Eventually I stopped and just looked for sales and cheap stuff. I noticed recently the libraries have games now. I'm considering that.
This was perfect timing for my friend Mark, who's TV was developing a burn mark right up the middle, and was growing. He had his Dell flat screen 38" 1080i TV since 2004. It was $600 back then. The new one was $218 and full HD and a few inches bigger. Turns out though, it has not so great sound, so now he's looking to find speakers for it.
I so wish Ticket to Ride kept on putting out new boards. The actual board game has tons of expansions.
Oh man, I could get really into that. I'm so tempted to make a list of all the figures and go find them. I should take it easy right now though. Too much spending lately, and it's not even Christmas yet! I guess the Swap Force portal of power works on anything up to, but not after, that game?
If I can beat it on Inferno, I'll get all the achievements, but Inferno is going to be tough without a lot of players online. Those AI bots were very helpful for Normal, but on Hard they are not enough. If I can get my friend Mark to beef up his character during the week, I might have a chance. I hope he does his homework.
You can jump in any campaign game in mid progress, but not survival matches. You can only drop in during the setup screen. Every time I did quick match, it didn't find a game and so it created one with me hosting playing with two AI bots. Then, after a while, a rando would show up and stay in for an hour or two. I can't wait to jump in again next weekend.
I thought at first the guy I was playing with dropped out because I had grabbed his weapon drop on a robot he killed, but the game shares weapon drops with all players I found out. Maybe it was something else, 'cause he/her left only after the level ended. I tried to help him/her out as much as possible to keep him/her in the game. There seems to be very few people still playing EDF IA at this point, which is not unsurprising really.
Oh yea, I did that, but I haven't tried it on my iPod Touch yet. Gotta do that.
Those are a lot of games. It reminds me how many I want to go through. Too many.
I remember wanting to pick up Ikaruga for the GameCube, but it was getting more expensive every day back then. Then it came to XBLA and I played the demo and realized it's hard like most shmups. Does look amazing though.
