No, I didn't beat the co-op missions or charlies, but everything else is done.

Apart from Briggs which is online only I beat everything apart from the last Charlie mission. Which I will do eventually. Maybe sometime in the new year we should attempt the Briggs missions together? I've been replaying the campaign, it's so much easier when you have all the gadgets.

Yeah any time man. Well, any time we're online.

After buying and trying the battery I'm not sure they didn't make the right decision in the first place. It's an expensive battery and adding that cost to the base sku would just push the price up. And whilst I do appreciate the longer battery life it certainly unbalances the weight of the controller, it's a heavy battery and makes the controller pretty heavy compared to the stock battery. I think the best thing is to have the charge stand plugged in and just put the controller on it whenever its not in use. That seemed to fix pretty much all battery recharge woes I had, waiting for it to go read then plugging it back in etc again and again.

Also to mitigate the cost of this new battery I sold the regular one for $15, so it's partly paid for itself.

Sorry, GG. I wouldn't know how to react either. That's a very sad situation for sure.

Thanks bud.

I'm playing Bioshock Infinite on PS3 with the PS4's Dual Shock 4. The DS4 is sooo much better with FPS than the DS3. The triggers are much easier to press, and the analog sticks much more precise. Sony, please make the DS4  fully work with all PS3 games. Pretty please? I swear I won't buy an Xbox One if you do.

I hope to try the PS4's Dual Shock 4 my brother said that his girlfriend purchased one for him for Christmas.

So how does it work with BI? A special update? Not system wide?

The DS4 works out of the box with most PS3 games. All you have to do is plug the DS4's USB cable into your PS3, and start playing. Unfortunately, there are some unsupported features like wireless, vibration, Sixaxis, and the PS button, which do not work at all.

Here's a compatibility list I found on Google: http://www.destructoid.com/here-s-a-list-of-ps3-games-that-work-with-dualshock-4-264263.phtml

Sorry to hear that sad news, GG.  My sister miscarried as well.  Just make sure to be comforting and there for them if they need anything.  My sister acted fine, but was really depressed about the situation.

That's how my brother is, don't think he'll ever open up about it but I guess we'll know for sure tomorrow after the scan. Anyway didn't mean to bring the mood down here. Everyone ready for Christmas?

I have two nephews who are obsessed with Disney Princess' because of their mother, even to the extent of wearing the costume dresses. The younger has only picked up on it because of the elder. It's a little troublesome when they want to wear them outside the house...

Sorry to hear that GG. What a shitty time for it to happen too. My thoughts go out to him.
