Like Doug or maybe Kayden (Kaiden?)

Caiden. Nice try, though!

Payday 2 looks fun, and I might be able to get a copy for Caiden, but we'll likely only have a couple of sessions before Bob and BD get back, as next Thursday is Thanksgiving.

If you like it, maybe we can get K&B to pick up copies as well.

Or, it could be a good option for when Bob goes out with his friend on Thursdays.

It turns out that Caiden already has Payday 2. He's willing to hop in, although he'd have to stop a little earlier than we usually do (6AM wake-up time on Mondays.)

Sounds good. I'll see if I can get Doug to join us.

Last minute schedule change - Caiden may not be back in town until 7:30 or later, and that time is very fluid.

Holiday schedules with kids are fun.

No worries. It'll give us old men a chance to acclimate to the control scheme.

Hopefully Blackhawk has a better video of this showing the shenanigans from a better angle but for now, Payday 2 needs to rethink their looking up/down animations.



The following clip is a bit long but it's all about my adventures into the "Land You Aren't Supposed To Get Into" and my attempts to free myself from that purgatory.

I didn't grab video, but I did grab these:

Touching tips.

Bwiip!!

You're lucky he turned 16 last month.

BD, this is the infuser I have. Link

GTAV Casino Heist DLC available today. Update is 4G.

With the addition of a "Master Control Terminal" in the Arcade (you have to buy an arcade as a front for the heist planning) you can now access, control, and even restock ALL of your businesses from one location.

Finally.

Took 'em long enough. How much for the arcade?

Depends on which one you buy (also, you can get a free one but it's way up north in Paleto Bay) but figure around 2.3 Million and then another 1.7 M for the Master Control Terminal. So, 4 Million roughly.

How to get the free one:

Twitch Prime members who linked accounts to their Rockstar Games Social Club account by December 8th (I do believe they extended this since this announcement wasn't even made until the 10th) will get free access to a new Arcade property to serve as the otherwise legitimate front for your prep and planning in The Diamond Casino Heist. Pixel Pete’s Arcade – formerly a legendary hole-in-the-wall located in Paleto Bay – will be yours to claim from Maze Bank Foreclosures free of charge. Any Twitch Prime members in good standing who do buy this specific property at full price will be given a 100% rebate within 72 hours after purchasing it.

I'll have to check my balance.

BL3 and Siege have updates today, too.

I have some holiday family hoopla that got rescheduled from Friday to Thursday, so I'll be late. I have no idea how late as of yet.

Hey, we have a future game opportunity here. Right now if you go to the Epic store, you'll get a $10 coupon for any game $14.99 or more. Right now The Division 2 is on sale for $14.99, meaning it would cost $5. The Gold Edition (normally $99) is on sale for $19.99, so it would cost $10 with the coupon, and comes with the first year pass.

Oh, and buying it gets you another $10 coupon.

So I picked up The Division 2.

Now, do I save my second coupon for Cyberpunk 2077 or do I finally pick up Rebel Galaxy: Outlaw?

Well, it is infinite coupons for the duration of the sale...

Free today only if you log in to GTA V they are giving away a remote control mini-tank.



Log on to Warstock to pick one up.

Bob is not going out tonight, so we'll both be gaming.

Duane, I went to your YouTube channel. That cutscene video is hilarious.
I'm looking forward to seeing it posted.

Mine are coming soon, just waiting for the uploads to finish.

Yeah, that video was big enough that I just started the upload and went to bed. This morning has been busy enough with kids, breakfast, arguing with kids, workout, etc. that it's still sitting there like I left it last night waiting for me to get off my ass.

Here's a few of mine from last night.

Maybe video games do make one more prone to violence


A compilation of moments while dressed as Santa.
By the way, in the clip where my car explodes, you can definitely see that it was a mine in the road that caused it.
I know we skipped across a couple of servers since you last used the minelayer but it had to have been one of yours since it didn't kill me.


A rather boring video this one but it shows what I was experiencing when I was "stuck" in the money grabbing animation start...


I believe I've got one more video loading so I'll post that one once it's completed.

I'm stealing the link for this from Blackhawk's YouTube page...

Wherein I invade the cutscene for the Casino Heist setup mission

Sorry, sorry. I still haven't made it to my gaming computer yet today. Today has been the post-Christmas home recovery.

No worries. I just wanted to get it up there so I can send the link to some friends.

Here's that other video that didn't upload properly earlier...

It's still broken.

So, Brian posted my cutscene. He (and the others) went inside my arcade a split second before I did, and loaded into the space where the cutscene was taking place. They couldn't see me or any of the NPCs, but I could see them. Hilarity ensued.

This one was my view of the shot Brian posted earlier. It was much more terrifying from the turret!

Seriously, are you guys wearing tap shoes or something?



The Adventurs of Ghost Gun and Poltergeist Pistol!!

Ok, Tight Tops finally loaded. I didn't know you'd picked that up. You could almost see the look on that guy's face when we popped around the corner.

This is where we stopped tonight.

Guess we should have played another 5 minutes or so.

Just knocking the rust off a bit.

Yeah, we were pretty rusty....

Them thar vidyers is set to 'private'.

Cheesy frickin' rice YouTube, is there anything you can't fuck up and make needlessly complicated?

Should be fixed now

Some highlights from last night....
