@ Slider:

There's a little icon by your name at the top left of the screen that should light up when you talk and it's registering your voice.

If you have a good mic, I wouldn't worry too much about it picking up background noise with open mic on. I have the game's sound turned up to a moderate level, and my headset never picks it up. Besides, if we're hearing it, Chew is sure to let you know all about it.

I wish every game, we could figure out how to get Chew and Flip on one team and Nic and R2 on the other.

That is guaranteed funny right there...I don't care who you are!

haha, alright. I'll try Open Mic next week.

I just saw this on the playstation blog, not sure how to embed video:

This still won't get me to reinstall home but I thought someone out there might be interested.

I wish they'd surprise us with an update to the game instead, but anything that reminds people about Warhawk is probably a good thing.

Home... ...supposedly, it's making money though.

It looked cool, but I doubt I'll ever try it.

Chew...Borderlands. Can do tonight. Want to start a bit earlier? Maybe 6:00/6:30

I'm probably not going to be home before 5, so let's say 6:30.

Sold! My character is ready to spawn at the "magic box", so I'll host.

Sorry. Had to bail when the wife called with some car trouble. I'm just not meant to play Borderlands anymore...

No worries. I hope everything is OK.

Everything's okay. Snow. Ice. More snow. Something wrong with the axle maybe. I dunno. She got home and couldn't get it back in the driveway. I took it for a ride around the block and concluded that yes something definitely wasn't right.

Or maybe you just took off to play Peggle:

I don't even know what Peggle is. Make it some Q-Bert 2.0 and you've got yourself an accusation.

I'm about ready to look up a walkthru for Old Haven, chess.

Way too much walking around in circles.

I'm hoping it will be one of those things we come back to later and it just makes sense...meanwhile...plenty of fetch quests.

For the record, Old Haven is a legitimate bitch. Which mission are you working on?

Looking for switches to turn off something or other...smoke signals?

IGN has a map guide for that. I'm going to have that loaded up on the iPhone next time.

Don't look on the map for the smoke signals. You have to find the plumes in the sky and head towards the smoke.

We were entirely relying on the navigation diamond. (and I didn't know we were looking for smoke signals)

Tonight or tomorrow morning, chess?

And since flip joined for a whole 15 minutes, maybe we'll let him have a vote too.

Or maybe rather than a vote, we'll just let him have input and we'll say "duly noted".

I'm thinking Sat morning.

And I'm calling shenanigans on not knowing what Peggle is...that stuff is fun.

Seriously though, how funny is that video?

"I'm planning to expand the market by making a game that doesn't f'ing suck"
"You want Peggle. Go F' yourself."

Sounds good.


Peggle is my "I only feel like playing for 20 minutes" game.
