GameFly User Tips and Hints! #1 Milking The Cow!
Posted in :P Lost Planet on July 5th, 2008 by lost
Well it has come to this!
I’m not Gamespot or something, I don’t get the free games and my staff hasn’t yet arrived!
But one very cool thing about Gamers is that they aren’t afraid to be adventurous. They know all too well how boring life can really be. So do keep playing! I’m all for the fat slobby nerdy outsider who plays video games all day, does grass and just hates everything! What are laughs for! That is funny, and a very cool life in my view. Although your sure to feel bad about yourself because some ‘newscaster’ isn’t finding you a part of his/her society. I can assure you, that you’re on the right track!
I’ve been a member of Gamefly now for about six months or so. So far I’m fairly happy with Gamefly, I was renting the games at Hollywood Video, but at about $8.00 for five or six days the expense was something that was too high in my estimation, which is why I went over to Gamefly.
I’m finding that I might have to ‘take my time’ more on the games from Gamefly. The sad fact is that most game releases aren’t good enough for me. I don’t care much at all for Mario and the other types of games that maybe many of you cherish. So I can’t actually rent Lego anything, or Sonic and his happy pals anytime soon!
I’m an adult for goodness sake!

Lost Planet doesn’t like Mario!
I like The Killer games though, the ones that are deep and penetrating. I’m glad about all the killing in games. Why not kill everything, like it really is. At least game creators are conforming more to reality than even the movies. And yeah right, little 15 year old Bobby over in Bum fuck Egypt is going to blow my head off because he played Haze on a bad day.
These scientists and their weird theories about the human anatomy really shouldn’t be read too closely. Don’t forget not to believe everything you’ve read.
Battlefield Bad Company
So therefore I have Bad Company now, and before this I had to wait for some time to receive it! I’d just finished The Bourne Conspiracy (The Bourne Conspiracy: Reviewed by
Lost Planet) and was hoping to get the Old Snake on board, Metal Gear Solid, of course. But if you are a Gamefly Regular you will begin to realize the you may have to ‘be ready’ for a release, simply because the Demand outweighs the Inventory. So by the time I got The Bourne Conspiracy mailed to Gamefly Distribution I was unfortunately too late to get MGS because it was at the low mark, which means that many had rented it!

Metal Gear Solid - One Hard Snake to Get!
Luckily at the time I realized that I wouldn’t have to wait too long for Battlefield Bad Company to come out, and I also had The Hulk in there! In fact I did remove the Hulk from my Game Q, I do keep a close eye on how the games are received and I don’t like getting a game that can’t hold my attention!

But then I kept looking for MG to come to me but after about a week of nothing I realized sadly that Metal Gear 4 wasn’t going to be sent out to me anytime soon, so finally the big day of Battlefield Bad Company came out and I was watching very closely to see if Gamefly was going to Screw Me! Was there gonna be trouble, is what I mean. I’m big on service! But right then and there Gamefly sent me Battlefield Bad Company which made me pretty well pleased!
So now I’m playing BBC and I’m, for the first time letting whole days go by, even planning on doing so, before I continue with the game. In fact I purposely let about two or three days go by before playing it again. I decided that I may have to “Milk It” or what I’m calling “Milking The Cow” with Gamefly.
The reason being that If I rush through BBC and get it in the mail back to Gamefly I may not get MG4 right away… it still has a Very Low Availability. The new games available are Hellboy which is apparently not that good and Overlord Raising Hell, which I have the Demo of so I will check it out there to see if it’s worth renting. The other games available are Top Spin 3, a Tennis Ball Game!, Wall-E, about some cartoon robot, Nascar 09, Car Game, and Dragon Ball Z, rise of the Pussy or something! So these are games that I can’t be bothered with!

12 Plus 2 = 14 that’s about how old you’ll need to be to be into Dragon Ball!
So anyway, I only have two possible solutions in the Gamefly Game Q… Metal Gear, which I will play of course, and Raising Hell which I’m not sure I’m gonna play yet. Raising Hell is on low availability so if I hurry up and finish Battlefield I may have to wait even for that! So I’m pretty happy with having Battlefield and thinking that maybe I should play more of the Multiplayer stuff which I usually avoid actually. By keeping Battlefield at least I have something in hand and that does make me feel good, since I won’t be getting Metal Gear for awhile… I think it was about 12 hours that it was available before going back to Very Low Availability.

Hell? Is it good enough for me?
July is looking like a real terrible month for games! I see 4 games coming, Beijing Olympics, It’s on TV!, Civilization, Sid, I wasn’t impressed by the Demo, NCAA Football 09, I don’t like Madden either, and Soul Caliber IV, which has potential but doesn’t come out until the 29th! Like I said terrible!

Madden Football Game - Not Interested!
So “Milking The Cow” is a good strategy to those of us who can’t play everything! Some of you like to check these things out, and that is cool. But if your like me you may not be all that thrilled by the selection. Amazingly September seems to be a banner month for Video Games. September! Also known as the Boring Month! You’d think by now that we’d have 1000’s of choices in the summer time when kids aren’t in school anymore. Are game creators stupid or something? Paramount knows when to put their big movies out! Why can’t Electronic Arts do the same. A July without a blockbuster Game…

Saved by Vader! Star Wars in September!
I guess so!
