Well, I got my dental mirror, and I don't see any damage to my teeth at all. There is some tarter build-up, so I'm going to get a checkup and cleaning soon. Weird shit. Thanks for putting my mind at ease, Robio. I was afraid to eat anything this morning, as I didn't want it to break more.

Good to hear. Like I said, it happened to me and I fucking panicked. And when the dentist finally told me he didn't see any chipped teeth, I kind of felt like a schmuck.

You know, I'm getting a little frustrated with the Last of Us. Do you realize that more after 6 months it's barely dropped in price? God of War Ascension is like $20 now. Tomb Raider is under $30. Can this game please get to under $40 please?

It's been sitting on the 30 euro mark for a while now on English/European online retailers - which is about 2/3 of full price. I think it will go down to 18-20 very shortly

TLOU has been holding its price pretty well; almost as well as a Nintendo franchise. Tomb Raider was on sale for $20 on PSN not to long ago, even cheaper for Plus subscribers.

Yeah I was sure after the next gen launches and the holidays that there would be lots of people selling off their copies. Still not quite the case. "Please sir, have mercy on a hobo gamer."

PS3 was a total disaster for the 1st 2 years. It really wasn't until around the time Sony pulled their heads out of their asses and released the PS3slim and came out with a whole new attitude, marketing plan and logo more in line with PS1 and PS2 that the PS3 finally came into its own. For most of the generation I think the Xbox 360 was by far the better console....UNTIL the last few years when MS started moving in a more casual/entertainment direction at the same time Sony was doing their own said direction change. That's when the PS3 arguably became the better console.

But yeah, those 1st 2 years were BAD. The only thing that saved it was Sony's reputation and their generations of complete dominance.

People forget about this stuff too easily. 3DS had about a year of negativity too and still barely has any decent 3rd party support outside a smattering of offerings. It's successful because of Nintendo. Even if Nintendo turn Wii U around the well has been pissed in and no one will take any 3rd party support seriously, unless it's exclusive. All Nintendo can do now is commission about 5 exclusives from partners per year and hope it's enough to maintain a fanbase for a few years. You don't even see publishers making smaller more innovative games like Wii got, I guess those are for smartphones now.

And they decided that either prior to the system launching - with no intention of ever releasing a game for it in the first place - or deciding it was dead after 3 months of sales. How short sighted is that in a decades old industry who knows generations come in 5 year life cycles? Sales excuses are BS when only a couple of companies even gave it a fair roll of the dice. Support was not there even before poor results started coming in. Games take years to make, not months so if there were any titles planned they should have appeared in the first year or so of the systems life and we would know about them. And then some companies like EA self sabotaged U game sales with stuff like the Mass Effect trilogy or missing modes or DLC. Not to mention using old 360 engines and late ports of already released games.

And did no one in these board meetings note the possibility of increased sales as the userbase grew over time? It's complete bullshit when the entire industry completely bails on one of the big three, especially when their previous console was a record breaker. And remember, a Wii U version of a multiplatform game costs $1 million. Thats chump change to these companies.

Well their previous console was a record breaker but mostly terrible for 3rd parties. Nintendo continues to do stuff their own way, ignoring the industry standards and they expect 3rd parties to go completely out of their way to make games for them with worse specs and basically no good online setup so they can sell like 40k copies. No one is going to do that.

Well, I have been using the Upad charge cradle for a couple weeks now. Whenever I'm done playing or just need a 10 minute break, I put it back on the cradle. So far, I haven't had any issues with the 3-hr battery anymore.

Heh, I thought Bowser's Castle was the Final Boss. I was just about to say that it was the shittiest final boss battle Nintendo has ever done, but then Bowser stole all of the fairies again, and opened up a new world. LOL

Good to see you back Leo, hope you've been well.

Hope everybody had a great weekend.  Mine just flew by.  Didn't get to play any videogames.  Even while on the bog I always reached for the kindle instead of the 3DS Sad

I've always used the craddle.  It stores the Upad nicely, while also charging it.  It's an essential part of the console in my opinion, and keeping the Upad charged without it would be such a fuss.
