Random Thread of Gaming Randomness

I just wanted to post that my girlfriend's 3 brothers came over and we were playing FIFA. We decided to do a double elim tourney with everybody. Her youngest brother who is 10 beat all of us. It was pretty embarrassing because we were all trying lol. Now do I suck that bad or are kids getting that good at video games?

They're getting that good. They have a lot more time on their hands than we do. A big chunk of the super-awesome Call of Duty players are kids/teens.

Word to the wise.... 5 shots of marshmallow and whipped cream vodka don't mix well with about 10 beer. I tried to jump over a fire pit, lol. The jump went great! .... but the landing.... not so great.

Yeah, the sudden stop is what gets people.

Nice upgrades on your rig. I got a couple things for my consoles...

This is for the PS3, been eyeing it for a while but it was $70... got it on sale for $20 at Best Buy...


Also got some Tritton true 5.1 gaming headphones. 3 speakers and a subwoofer in each ear. Just wish they were wireless. They work on consoles and PC, I dig 'em.

I knocked some of the dust off of my Skyrim (PS3) last night. I'm still waiting for Dawnguard to be released for PS3/PC.

That.... that's a mouse! I didn't know they existed. It's my one complaint with consoles - the mouse is so much better for control.

I agree. It's no PC replacement, but its definitely a nice accessory to have. I started out a PC gamer, and have always had trouble being accurate with thumbsticks. Especially when I have to do it quickly.

Ended up cashing in my Reward Zone points at Best Buy and getting my first 3D TV. I got it pretty cheap thanks to the RZ points. I was actually looking for a monitor to replace my old CRT, ended up in the game section and got this.

Your post actually got me looking for a release date for PS3, the whole vampire thing in Dawnguard had me interested.

But...

As such, we’ll have to wait for further confirmation from the developer to find out when (or even if) it will be made available to the PlayStation crowd. Pete Hines, the VP of PR and marketing at Bethesda explained the situation on Twitter, saying, “We have not announced Dawnguard for any other platform, nor given a timeline for any such news. If we have news, I promise I’d tell you.”

I have a 360 too, but it's just a shelf-filler. PS3 all the way.

I looked again yesterday for a DG(PS3) release date, but still couldn't find anything. There's a lot of things with it that has me interested. Vampire & Werewolf zodiacs, new equipment, etc.

Son of a mother, I bought the Fallout New Vegas ultimate edition on Steam for $22 last night... woke up this morning and it's on sale for $10.
