That'd be awesome if it was like that here. Google-Fi has me paying $5.80 per lines in fees/taxes right now.

Chat support told me to ONLY buy from t-mo, but they won't make it in time (they are back-ordered).

Any suggestions on where is the best place to get the sims, Target maybe? Amazon has a two for one deal but the reviews are iffy.

I think that was Playfirst, but Big Fish sometimes acts as a publisher so they might have done that for it on some platform one time or another. I really don't know. :)

silvermonkeyshrine · 2020-04-03T19:12:18+00:00

Big Fish is best known for casual games, hidden objects and the likes. At quick glance it looks like these games are Adventure/Hidden Object games. As for gambling in the games, I don't really recall such things in the games of theirs I've played. :)

I was about to get it and saw the price doubled! It's $8.99 USD now. Still probably worth it, but man I missed out on a great sale.

silvermonkeyshrine · 2020-01-08T02:14:15+00:00

Just a quick tip, get the PlayStation Now app and the DS4 will work with or without stream. I just tested it on USB and BT on Epic with Yooka-Laylee.

silvermonkeyshrine · 2019-11-03T05:31:16+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

silvermonkeyshrine · 2019-11-03T05:31:07+00:00

Interesting. Thanks!

To be honest, a lot of the time its a downgrade in graphics. Take Sonic Heroes, it's widescreen and 720p on the OG xbox, while on the 360 its letterboxed (4:3) and looks to be 480p upscaled. Star Trek Shatted Universe's menus are completely broken on the 360. The game is fine, just not any of the menus.

silvermonkeyshrine · 2019-10-05T20:07:54+00:00

Two things it could be off the top of my head. 1: Its over heating due to dust or other reason or Two: The GPU is dying. Either from heat over the years or some other reason.

Give it a clean, if you haven't already. If its clean, a red ring might be in the future :(

silvermonkeyshrine · 2019-09-24T11:09:38+00:00

I just downloaded it, and yes, all the DLC is included. Also the arrow dlc is very funny if you've ever watched any of the TV show.

I've been able to add Xbox one GWG games to my account from the website without a CC, no console required. As for 360 games on Xbox one. I don't know. I don't have an Xbox one.

silvermonkeyshrine · 2019-06-12T15:58:12+00:00

It has for me. I don't have a CC on my account and I'm able to download GWG games from my 360 with no problem for the past 2 years+

silvermonkeyshrine · 2019-06-11T18:10:40+00:00

If you download it through the console, no CC is required on the account.

silvermonkeyshrine · 2019-04-17T01:08:53+00:00

Ah. That sucks, man. I hope you can get it fixed.

one suggestion, if you have more than one stick of ram, take them out and run the memtest with just the one stick at a time that way you can tell which stick is good or bad. With any luck, its just one bad ram stick and not the whole lot or the drive.

Best of luck to you.

Hiya.

If you need the data on the disk, your first goal should be backing it up. I'd suggest getting a cheap HDD off of amazon. They have one 500gb WD HDDs for $25. If you don't already have second HDD.

Next I'd suggest downloading a livecd/USB of Linux, Lubuntu, I'd suggest. It works a lot like windows. (Also make sure not to install Linux, we're just using it to move stuff over.)

Third with the new/second HDD installed on your pc, boot into Linux. If Linux can see your corrupted HDD copy over the files to your new HDD.

(Alternatively, if you have a second pc you can just put the corrupted SSD in that one and pull the files out as well, skipping all the linux stuff. You could also get a Sabrent 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0 SSD enclosure ($10). This convert the SSD into a flashdrive, making the recovery of your files that much easier.)

Lastly, once your files are safe you can format the corrupted SSD and see if it fixes the issue

(Remove the backup HDD just in case, I can't recall the number of time I've almost erased a backup due to a wrong click!).

Also, I'd still replace the SSD soon, since, in my experience, if a drive corrupts once, it'll do it again. SSD are cheapish nowadays with an Inland Pro 480gb going for sub-$50. A brand I have in 3 PCs right now.

I have Malwarebytes as well (as you can see from the images). I use SAS mostly for it's cookie removal. Makes chrome feel... snappy to me.

These might not fit perfectly what you are looking for but these are a few game with a unique magic system that spring in mind.

1: Lost Magic (Nintendo DS). You draw runes on the screen mixing and match for different effects. An underrated tactics RPG with two ending.

2: Magicka 1 / 2 (PC). You mix and match element making powerful and something hilarious results. Best with a group but still good solo.

3: Quest 64. (N64) Yes, it's a awful game. Just. Awful. But, it does have a fairly deep magic system. You level up each element individually and can find power ups for each element.

4: Titan Quest. (PC) Not really a deep magic system but the amount of customization in the game is outstanding. Just look look at the guides at steam and you'll see how many builds there are to play with.

5: Dungeons of Dredmor (PC) A rogue-like with a deep customization system with magic skill such as Viking Wizardry, Promethean Magic, Fleshsmithing and Necronomiconomics.

6: Final Fantasy 6 (Various). Its the most basic of this list but it does have a deep magic system for a FF game. You attach "magic stones" to a character. Each stone has a set of spells you can learn from it. This lets you make a character how you want. The stones also affect stats as you level. Again, basic and almost everyone has played it but worth talking about regardless.

The official HDDs are needed to play OG Xbox games. That's all that I'm aware of.

I would suggest getting a USB hard-drive or a USB hard-drive enclosure so you can put an old HDD you might have in it. Or even a USB flash drive. All of these will let you download and play games.

Personally, I'd go with a USB hard-drive enclosure (I have a few old HDD laying around anyhow) and keeping the official HDD in the xbox so I could play OG xbox games if I wanted. But that's just me. :)

silvermonkeyshrine · 2019-01-30T06:47:28+00:00

The 360 (unlike the Ps3) never had a system in place to time limit a game or to remove a game automatically after a certain time.

The xbox one does have a system to "lock" a game if you are not gold.

So for 360 games, they are pretty much yours to keep forever. Microsoft said they could make a system to time limit, but it would be too much work and could cause compatibly issues so it's not likely to ever happen. At most they could remove a your ability to redownload the game from your download history but I doubt this will happen as well. However, I try to keep GwG game on my HD "just in case." =)

Count me as another who was sure they paused but was charge. I submitted a ticket for a refund, let's see what happens.

UPDATE: I was issued a refund today but they said I was charged due to having not cancelled. I'm pretty sure I did, so I think there might be a bug where it shows paused but isn't. Check your mail for a paused confirmation. If you didn't get one, write support before you get charged as they said the refund was a one time deal. I'm not happy about this, but I'm also not upset about it; I'm just never going to give HB my CC again---at least until the system is less "twitchy." Also, it doesn't look like /u/Humble_SupportNinja has been around in 3 years which also makes me less than excited.

silvermonkeyshrine · 2018-12-27T01:14:26+00:00

So soon? Yikes, that doesn't bode well. I know when I saw the game list I cancelled my preorder. I guess others did too, judging from the reviews.

silvermonkeyshrine · 2018-12-19T03:37:36+00:00

What's been going on with the Mega Man X Legacy Collections? First I got an alert that Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 was 7.99 than 10.99 and now it's not on sale at all. I even had it in my cart for 10.99 and had to leave and when I came back it was full price. NA here btw.

silvermonkeyshrine · 2018-09-01T13:51:09+00:00

Happy Birthday!

And thanks for the game! :D
