I'm debating whether or not to stop boosting online achievements. Looking through all my games Ive found that I've spent a ridiculous amount of time boosting mp achievements. At least when I earn achievements in single player I feel like Ive accomplished something but when I pop an achievement in multiplayer after a boosting session, its nice to hear that achievement pop but just doesn't feel like I accomplished anything.

NCAA & EA no longer partners. EA says they are working on a college football game for next-Gen consoles it just won't be affiliated with the NCAA.... I'm not really sure what this will mean in the long run but I'm personally hoping 2k gives it another shot. I'm personally not a fan of EA or the NCAA so its kinda like Hitler and Satan are breaking up.

I used to try and be a completionist aw well but I think achievements have actually ruined gaming for me. I used to just play for fun and the only games I was ever a completionist on were rpgs where I absolutely had to do every quest, find every item, kill everything, etc. Now I've found myself playing just to hear the achievement pop. Just like playing all the kids games I never would have played if there wasn't an achievement system in place. I'd much rather be a completionist in single player games but not multiplayer where I have to rely on other people to be there to nab an achievement. I'll still play some multiplayer for fun and if an achievement pops, it pops but I think I'm done with the boosting and setting up sessions to manipulate the game in a way its not meant to be played. Rather just play because I want to, not to raise my completion percentage or gamerscore.

Uverse claimed they could get me 18Mbps at all times, in reality they couldn't get over 15 for download and .9 for upload. I'm paying 5 dollars more (for 6 months anyway) for Comcast and I get about 45 TV channels which I'll never use. Every time I've checked the speeds now I'm in this range:

if you're taking saint's row seriously, you're gonna have a bad time.
Not taking it serious, I just think that it will be a SR3 DLC being passed off as a full retail release & I'm not to sure I'm willing to spend $60 for the game plus an extra $20 - $30 worth of DLC that I'm sure thell be releasing.....SR3 had no replayability & I think 4 will be the same
then don't buy it and miss out on a hilariously fun game.

SR3 had two outcomes for chapters 1 and 3. Two endings and tons of DLC. How is that no replayability? For a non multiplayer oriented game or RPG that is well above average.
