@parasitepaladin My friends and I used to backyard wrestle in the 1990s and I created my character, Censor for that. I used a variation of DDP's Diamond Cutter as my finisher and I'd say,"You've just been censored." Corny as heck. So corny I decided I should lose the championship by my own finisher and told my opponent to say, "I just censored Erik." I stopped wrestling after that match cause I got a concussion.

Recently got the Dead Rising Triple Pack for Xbone to replay one of my fave series. I said 'one of' but come at me with your hate if you must. I started with DR2 because it's my fave in the series, again, come on with it! Then I was watching Huber stream the 1st game and he got me feeling all that nostalgia and I've been playing it since. I also pre-ordered Mafia 3 and I'm so excited for October 6th 11:59 PM ET to hit so I can begin my final minute ritual. Hopefully there's no day one patch to keep me from playing even longer. It feels like we've been waiting so much longer than we have.

Digital purchases so I have no pictures.

Other than that I haven't been spending very much $ as I'm saving for Christmas. My birthday is in April so I haven't received any gifts since then.

@CensorErik Just saw on the store that you can buy them all separately but the are 20 quid each! would you say there is enough there to justify the price? otherwise might wait till they are a bit cheaper.

This is a tough call for me to make for someone else. As I said, I'm totally biased so I'd say yes, of course. However, if the idea of re-playing these games right away doesn't excite you then I'd say hold out for a sale. There are always big digital holiday sales. I'm doing that for the Bioshock triple pack. I love the series but I just know I'm not going to have the time to play them with Mafia 3 right around the corner and they'll end up with all my other games I've gotten through sales or for free each month. So maybe wait, but if you can't wait be sure to add me if you're playing on xbone as I'm always up for some chill co-op.

@Spidarro I ended up buying the whole digital triple pack. Downloaded them this morning. Took like 2 hours or so. I decided I'll just deal with the weird controls of the 1st game since I got 3 games for $50. I know if I went and got just DR2 and OTR I'd end up buying DR1 separately eventually and then I''d have spent $60.

@Mbun I agree 100%. Funny, they made so many positive changes as the series progressed, like better controls, way smarter survivors (mostly) and better leveling. Then they shortened the durability of combo weapons. It's very likely they did so in order to balance the system so nothing was op, but that didn't actually work. Each game has 1 or 2 weapons that outclass the rest.

@Spidarro I'm pretty sure it's bundle only as there is no option, currently, in the xbox store to buy them individually. However, the Dead Island remasters were like that in the shop too but when I played co-op several people told me they bought just the first game at Gamestop. So it may be possible to buy physical copies separately.

Very weird several of you played the first game at a friend's house considering it was strictly a single player game that require copius amounts of repetition in order to level up to play through the actual missions.

Anyway I can see how the timer can be an issue for people that get stressed having a time limit. I mean I've never been like that personally but I can definitely see how that'd be a turn-off if you're one of them. I totally disagree that the games get worse with each sequel. If anything the opposite is true. They made the controls better, added combo weapons and smarter survivors and the game area got bigger. They added competetive multi-player and co-op. The story is ridiculous but that's never been the strong suit of the series. It's crazy zombie killing fun! Also the first game, to me, is the weakest in the series in almost every way but it's still got a huge spot in my heart forever.

I will admit DR3 didn't live up to my hype but I did that to myself so I really can't blame anyone else. Besides, except for the arcade dlc for it, I loved every part of DR3 and it's dlc missions.

DR4 is going to be insanely fun for me because I have no expectations of it being some masterpiece of a game with an epic story to rival all other mediums of art. It's a stupid zombie game with crazy combo weapons and co-op to enjoy for it's humor and zaniness. I like fun things even if, and sometimes specifically because, it is mindless entertainment.

I guess nobody else likes Dead Rising games. That's sad but it's also unbelievably cool that they keep making games for just me to play! I'm truly blessed and I don't mind talking to myself about that fact. I'll ttyl Erik, I've got a few things to do...

See that? Even I'm too busy and/or disinterested to talk to me. What a country!

Hey everybody! My name is Erik and I'm jazzed to be here to discuss video games and anything fun under the sun with you! So, who else is looking forward to Dead Rising 4 this December? And which of you, like me, is going to buy the Dead Rising triple pack in September as well?

Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games so if any of you are as excited as I am about it's remaster and pending release on Xbone, please feel free to add me and join me in co-op when the time comes. Gamertag: CensorErikII (that's ii at the end, not LL)

Until then, tell me some of the things you like or dislike about the series. I'll start with a dislike to prove I don't look at the games through fanboy goggles. Some of the controls in the first game are awful. The aiming in particular is enough to ruin an otherwise FANTASTIC! game. Keep in mind I loved that game enough to get ALL 1k in achievements. However, if they haven't added an option to use the control scheme from DR2 to it I'm pretty sure I'll skip it and go straight to collecting Zombrex for Katey in Fortune City.

What about you?

@Alex840 Hey I suggest we wait till Sunday, September 4th to see if we get enough people interested to make the 2nd league. It'd be a better time to draft teams as well since players get hurt, cut, traded, and in some instances, arrested. Tony Romo, for example, just got hurt again the other day.

I'm hopeful we can get another league up and running so I can compete with my fellow Allies, but if that doesn't happen, I suppose I'll just have to get over it by going undefeated in my Facebook league.

I'm super excited to officially be a part of this amazing community!

Though I love all he does for us, Bosman gets bounced in the second playoff game. Book it. :p

@TheOhrenberger ESPN has an option in the LM Tools bar to edit the draft order and when you click it, if you scroll down, there's an option to randomize it right there and then. However, I found that I had to hit it 3 times before it actually mixed up the order in a noticable way. Good luck everybody and draft well! =)

Hey, I know you said your league is filled up, but what about starting a 2nd league for those of us who were late? I just joined the Allies here, on Twitch, and on Patreon, so I obviously didn't see this thread. Also, I started playing fantasy football 3 years ago and have won the championship twice in both leagues I was in. This year I'm only in one league but I'd love the chance to do battle with my fellow Allies. I seem to recall Kyle bragging a while back about how good he was and I always wondered how I'd fare against him. No hard feelings if this is not possible. I'll just have to obsess over a single draft and line-up in a solitary, lonely, and very uneasy feeling league filled with people uninterested in the amazingly talented and enormously inspiring Easy Allies. I guess dreams really do vanish when we open our eyes. sniffle, sniffle

@Whoaness I totally agree. Kyle was the only one of the two that was willing to compromise at all. There was no budging Damiani. In fact, Kyle had to bring up Zelda II and settle on things about that! Not exactly what the show was outlined to be from my perspective. I mean I understand being stubborn about an opinion, I can be extremely stubborn at times, but when someone holding an opposing view is open-inded enough to hear me out I ALWAYSS try to meet them halfway.
