Trying to get my parents to get the Gamestop bundle so I get this free with my Slim.

Probably not happen though as there's more chance of them getting a PS3 at Best Buy/Walmart than having to drive around the few smaller Gamestops in the area. I doubt they're getting up at 8am Friday anyway, they arrive the Thursday night.

Would rather they just get a Slim with some free content on Black Friday than get nothing at all :p (as in a vanilla PS3 at $299) I have no idea how crazy you Americans go on Black Friday, well I do a bit, but I dunno if I should expect Slims selling out everywhere just due to the hype surrounding Black Friday and Americans willingness to throw money about for this day.

I'll probably try get Best Buy bundle, LBP GOTY edition would be nice for the DLC, and I obviously don't have Ratchet. Wallmart Bundle isn't much use, I have inFamous/Batman and I've seen The Dark Knight. Some resale value I guess, but I'd rather just get some new games I don't have.

Just so you guys know, my TV shows this playing @ 1080p.

Only 3 more trophies for double-plat.

After having beaten both, I agree w/ DM that GoW2 is the better overall game, combat is better, set pieces and scope are flat-out amazing, but GoW has the better story due to the background on Kratos and the "twist" at the end of GoW2 is hinted at during GoW, so it wasn't that much of a twist.

Also noticed something, there seems to be some influences especially on platforming puzzles, on Uncharted. Which is interesting to me, because most everything else (betrayal story, combat and platforming mechanics, box puzzles) that seems to be influenced by Soul Reaver, which was written and directed by the director of Uncharted.

Finished GoW, now only need the speed run for Platinum :D Damn challenge of the Gods ****ed me off, specially the last 3. Tip for anyone playing CotG. L1+X works great in Challenge #10.

@ soniq: Did you finish the speed run in the first one? How long it took you?

Started the speedrun last night, I'm about 45 minutes in, and about to save the Oracle. I'm a bit slow at it, from other speedruns I've read about, people have finished the game in under 3 hours. I'm using the Tycoonius costume, gives you 2x damage and 4x experience, so I'm rediculously overpowered, making battles shorter/faster/easier.

I only need that, and Challenge of the Titans for double plat.

For the Eye Sore trophy (cyclops eyes), play the first Challenge of the Titans, save, exit to challege selection, then replay it. You can't get all 20 during playthrough.

Most of the Challenge of the Gods wasn't terrible, it's just that you can't save and exit. I kept having to pause and take breaks during #10.

Cool, using Tycoonius. Easy to max the blades. I was around that time when I was saving the Oracle too.

This is so overpowered it's funny. I got the army of Hades, and had enough orbs left over from maxing everything else, that I maxed that out immediately, and still had 7,777 orbs left over, and I haven't even been to the Muse Keys room yet.

Oh, and I'm at 2:49:45, too.

I finished it at 3:10. I died a few times because I thought I was invincible lol. Got all Gorgon Eyes but not the Feathers, I missed 3 but I wasn't looking for all. I rarely used magic.

Now to play God of War 2. :)

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      This piece of ###### is probably one of the most hated apps that ever existed.
    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.

      It's so stupid that you have to "enroll" in these extended updates.
