Extortion

I've been paralyzed by fear and indecision stemming from my game collection for the past year and a half.

Here's how you deal with it :

You don't.

You wind up going back to whatever the last comforting game you beat was and slack off in that. I now have 80 hours in Saints Row The Third (a game that can be beaten in 10 hours). Eventually you get frustrated at your growing backlog, close your eyes and point at something, anything, and resign yourself to beating it. You learn to love again. You tell yourself, "Why didn't I play this earlier? Video games are awesome." You beat it. You feel like you accomplished something by making a small dent in your backlog.

But then you wind up playing more Saints Row.

Video Games.

This. I get indecision paralysis whenever I look at the 200+ steam games I have and then eventually just say to myself "maybe I'll just start up another Borderlands guy instead" and then hate myself for it. It also doesn't help that whenever a friend wants to go to EB to get something I usually tag along with no intention of buying anything and then as I walk around looking at the shelves, I see something like Infamous 2 or Resistance 3 for $20 and think "wow, I'm practically losing money by NOT buying this" and thus the backlog grows ever larger.

I still have a sealed copy of the original Dead Space that I tell myself I will play one day. This is the shame I live with.

Was no one else a little disappointed that Tyrael becomes the angel of wisdom and not, say, Deckard Cain? I mean, hasn't the guy done enough over the last 3 games to have earned it? Tyrael's cool and all, I just think Cain would have been better suited for the role.

Great! Now I just have to decide how to spend these last remaining hours of free time before it all disappears for the next year or so...

Does anyone know if Blizz is allowing people to download the game a day or so early so digital owners can start playing right at midnight PST? I believe they did something similar to this with Starcraft 2 where you could download and install it on Monday but if you loaded it up before Tuesday you would just get an error message saying Battle.net isn't available to sctivate your copy.

Yeah just found that out as well. Hopefully this maintenance will fix the other error code that I was getting yesterday whenever I tried to purchase anything off the PSN store.

Having the same problem. I'm getting a different error code tho (NW-8942-3) Might be cuz I already have a PSN account.

Having the same problem myself. After purchasing 2 things in relative quick succession, now whenever I try to buy anything I get the connection lost error. All other web-based functions work fine and hard resetting did not fix it.

just got 330 mil on rush. I'm surprised this game isn't more popular. It's a fantastic game.

Will a player's card disappear from my collection when their career games reaches 0? I'm trying to collect all the players of my favorite NHL team and I'd like you use them too but don't wanna risk losing the card from my collection.

Yea it's true that what I'm asking for is essentially the throwbacks but I think they should make them a regular feature and flesh it out a bit. Maybe once every 2 weeks from a random staff member and frankly, I get a little sick of always seeing just the beginning of every game. I understand why they do it for new releases but if it's gonna be in a throwback QL, the first 20 min probably isn't the best way to communicate why they think its so great.
