2010 FIFA World Cup: South Africa (PS3) - Why do I have to fight my own team during the game? Thanks for terrible AI/Controls in this one EA.

So I was wandering around the Plaza on Nintendo Land today and one of the random Miis in the place had "keep it on channel 3" over his head. Bickman2k was in my Plaza!!!!

[techwizard]

that's awesome. i haven't paid too close attention to the Miis in my plaza, i should watch out for the people on my friend's list. by the way i've noticed something weird about mine, maybe you'll know what's going on as it sounds like you've been playing more than me. whenever i get new prizes from the plinko game, i walk around opening them and realise that a lot of ones i'm opening are the same as ones i've already opened before. what i can't figure out is if the prizes are truly random so sometimes you just get the same thing you already had, or if it's a glitch that is making me have to re-open prizes for no reason. i know there's the button you can open/close all of them instantly, but it's not that...most are still open when i run into this. and i prefer to manually open them all, it makes it easier to know which ones are new right away instead of opening them with the switch and then just coming across them later.

I've never opened the same one twice and I'm at 178/200 trophies right now. You already mentioned the button that re-boxes them and that's the only thing I could think of that's happening. Sorry I can't be any more help with that.

On a side note I just beat Nintendo Land!! Got the Gold Star in every attraction followed by a credit roll and end screen! Now to clean up the rest of the stamps (60/80), trophies (178/200), and Platinum Trophies (2/6)

Think I may get Farcry 3, only wonder is if my PC can handle it. Anyone played it on a rig as opposed to a console?

I'm running through Link to the Past again.  I'm at Moldorm in the Death Mountain Palace....the damn jerk keeps knocking me off the ledge on the last hit!  He shoulda been dead 15 hits ago.  If this happened when I was 10 I woulda thrown the game against the wall.

Just some Resident Evil VS during a little free time here or there.

Farcry 3: Finished the game. Once again really liked the game and recommend it.

Family Guy - Return to the Multiverse: This game is bad. Imagine Gex 3 for the N64 with Family Guy characters.

NBA 2K13: Just picked it up from the library. Loved last years version hope this one is just as good.

@Izret101: EA doesn't have a basketball offering.

[Izret101]

Fair enough.
I was pissed that i picked up 2k12 and then less than a month later servers went offline without warning.
Even if i had opened it up and started it the day i bought it i wouldn't have had enough time to finish the online tournament. Or would have barely had enough time.

@Izret101: That's a dick move on 2K. They should give you a refund for not being able to play all of the game.
