Destiny


Big Fresh

Recommended Posts

Looking at the Destiny board, it also looks like JohnnyVinyl, fightingokra and Gonzo will be on the PS4.

 

I apologize in advance, but who are Vinyl and Okra on here?

 

Johnny Vinyl is Big Fresh.  Not sure who FightingOkra is but I am certain he's a regular dude here.  He's also a member of the GTA:Online crew.

Nope - Only Oct 3. That is when the next Smash Brothers game comes out and he already said he would be obsessed with that.

 

And then Sunset Overdrive comes out end of Oct.

So - yup - three weeks

Wait I'm apart of what? The only GTA I have played is IV. Though I would like to play V at some point on PS4. But yes I am FightingOkra, picked my username from the former Delta State mascot.

EDIT Unofficial mascot....from the Delta State Wiki

 

Delta State has two mascots (one official, one unofficial). Since its inception, Delta State's sports teams have officially been known as the Statesmen because of the role State Rep. Walter Sillers, Jr. played in the location of the school in Cleveland. Sillers was speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives for 20 years. The female teams are called the Lady Statesmen.

However, since the late 1980s, the student body has embraced a mascot that depicts a piece of okra (a vegetable) wearing boxing gloves and brandishing a fierce expression.[10] The "Fighting Okra" grew out of humor among students about the improbability that anyone would find a "Statesman" particularly frightening. In the mid-1990s, a student vote was taken, resulting in the university taking on "The Fighting Okra" as an unofficial mascot. The "Fighting Okra" was featured in the "Okraphobia" episode of the Food Network show Good Eats.[11]

The popularity of "The Fighting Okra" grew so much that many myths started on how the mascot came to be, the most popular of these stating there was a stubborn okra plant at first base on the baseball field that grew back every time it was cut. The true origin of the fighting okra mascot was a discussion between basketball and baseball players in the "Court of Governors" dormitory. Basketball player Houston Williamson was lamenting the fact that "Fighting Statesmen" was not particularly frightening to their opponents. All present agreed that an alternate mascot would have to be mean and green. After a lively discussion and many suggestions, baseball pitcher Bob Black suggested that okra was green, fuzzy and tough. The DSU baseball team began using the chant "Okra! Okra! Okra! Okra!" at DSU basketball games.

The "Fighting Okra" mascot is an illustration of a generational divide in comic sensibilities. Many older alumni find the Okra embarrassing and inappropriate, while younger alums find that it appeals to their sense of irony and their taste for absurd humor.

I am still going through a GTA5 playthrough so I cannot archive any of that stuff.

 

I also cannot bring myself to archive any ME reladed files  I may just have to invest in a refurb 320GB HDD from GameStop.

For anyone that played that beta here, don't know if this was a problem, but my biggest problem while playing the beta was the server crashes.  I hope they have fixed this for launch considering all the hype and pre-orders.

 

No server colony in history will be able to withstand the bombardment of data that the Destiny servers willl get tonght.   I wouldn't even bother trying to play until Wednesda but I know the temptation will be strong.  

 

The game box will sit there on your coffee table... taunting you...

So yeah.  I have convinced myself that if I am awake around midnight, I may zip over to the 24 hour Wal Mart and get a copy.

 

Most likely I will be looking at the backs of my eyelids by 10PM.

Sucker...

 

I wasn't considering it until I remembered the codes I redeemed this morning.

 

Curiousity is working overtime right now.

 

I have a whole six-pack of Pepsi at the house.  If I drink all of them starting at 8PM, the sugar rush and unbearable pressure on my bladder would totally keep me awake until at least four in the morning.

Well the only reason I am not racing out to get it (especially after my wife acted surprised I wasn't buying it right away) is because I literally won't have the funds until the 15th.

 

So yeah - this weekend might be the big "PLAY EVERYTHING ELSE FOR THE LAST TIME!!!"
