Technically you could make money in any shortage.

That's what a shortage is. When demand exceeds supply which can lead to higher prices.

The real question is how big a shortage will there actually be. I know someone who camped at a Walmart for a couple days with friends in order to grab some PS3's to sell. There were so many being sold online though that he was barely able to break even when he did sell them. He probably could have made some decent money if he had bought the Wii instead.

Buying one with the intention of selling is a huge risk. Your best bet is to buy one with the intention of keeping it. Then if demand massively outpaces supply and the prices go high then sell it if you want.

Anyone who wanted to make money with the Wii-U last year was severely disappointed I'm sure.

You own 471 games worth: $5,521.99 USD

It says if I bought the games on sale it would have cost me around $1509.

Well the survivors are significantly smarter then in the first game. You really don't have to babysit them much. Usually the worst you'll have to do is wait at the exit to an area while the survivor catches up. Though I always forget and exit the area then have to reenter to allow the survivor to catch up which can be annoying.

It still plays a lot like the first though.

It's free though. Just try it.

I think it looks good. I also don't expect anyone any of the Giant Bombers to give it the time of day. I suspect that Jeff will begrudgingly play it then talk about how mediocre he thinks it is.

Maybe Alex will play it.

I don't really get the Sleeping Dogs comparison though.

Don't care. I'll play it. The game is supposed to be outlandishly violent.

I was the opposite. I couldn't wait to see what the guys did. The one they did in memorial of him was very cathartic and very helpful. It was tough getting past the first 30 seconds though.

Anyways, the podcasts are still solid. They don't quite have the same energy, but they are as meandering as they've been all year which would have bugged me if there were actually many games to talk about.

Well this is the last weekend where I'm going to have much free time to play Payday 2 so I'm looking to play as much as I can this weekend.

I'll be starting at 1 am eastern on Friday and Saturday nights and playing till whenever. On Sunday I'm free all day long so I'll be able to play anywhere from (noon till 3 am eastern)

I'm particularly looking to do some of the multiday heists as well as trying to stealth some of the single day heists. People with Mics are preferred.

If anyone is interested then send me Steam fried request

I'll also be on tonight for the next couple hours

I don't give a shit who or what I'm killing. It's just a game and if I don't kill them then they'll kill me. It would be different if I was supposed to kill some unarmed civilian, but no, I'm killing an enemy combatant.

Saying, "Oh, I don't feel right about killing women enemy soldiers" is essentially saying women shouldn't be soldiers and that's what is sexist.

Looks ugly as hell to me. I like the idea, but they went overboard on the black redaction lines.

I'm not willing to write off a franchise just because of a bad entry. Though if a new one comes out and gets lambasted for the same reasons as the bad entry then I'll skip it till they fix it. Here are some titles that make me wary of the series though.

Dead Space 3: I actually haven't even played it yet. Just everything I saw leading up to it's release and then playing the demo made me not want to play it at all. Maybe some day. Maybe my low expectations will actually make me like it more.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Endless and terrible cutscenes and dialogue. I'll definitely read reviews carefully for MGS5.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012): This is by no means a bad game, but I really did not like how the multiplayer works. I felt like I spent all my time waiting. I'm much happier just picking an event and going right to it. I don't need to drive over to it then wait 5 minutes while eveyone else tries to drive over to it. I'd much rather they return to the Hot Pursuit series.
