Kupowered: The PSN Summer Sale is On!

The PSN Summer Sale is On!

So, in the PS Store Blog Post today, the previously announced Playstation Summer Sale went live, and it's pretty wonderful. I already went ahead and picked my purchases (at least, the ones I was sure about, I still have a bit in the ol' coffers) earlier which was just a wonderful feeling, since I'm still in my Free Month of Playstation Plus. That was a good thing, Sony. A real good thing. Unless you activated yours right away, then you might be feeling a bit of a sting now. Regardless, discounts is discounts and they're on games that people might actually want to buy.

The Full List goes as such:

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX – Full Game (now $6.99, original price $9.99, PlayStation Plus price $4.89)
PixelJunk Shooter 2 – Full Game (now $6.99, original price $9.99, PlayStation Plus price $4.89)
Hard Corps: Uprising Full Game (now $10.49, original price $14.99, PlayStation Plus price $7.34)
Hard Corps: Character: Harley (now $1.75, original price $2.49, PlayStation Plus price $1.23)
Hard Corps: Character: Leviathan (now $1.75, original price $2.49, PlayStation Plus price $1.23)
Hard Corps: Character: Sayuri (now $1.75, original price $2.49, PlayStation Plus price $1.23)
Chime Super Deluxe (now $6.99, original price $9.99, PlayStation Plus price $4.89)
Scott Pilgrim Full Game (now $6.99, original price $9.99, PlayStation Plus price $4.89)
Scott Pilgrim – Knives Chau Add-On (now $1.49, original price $1.99, PlayStation Plus price $1.04)
Risk Factions (now $6.99, original price $9.99, PlayStation Plus price $4.89)
Dead Space Extraction (now $10.49, original price $14.99, PlayStation Plus price $7.34)
Tales from Space: About a Blob (now $10.49, original price $14.99, PlayStation Plus price $7.34)
Back to the Future: The Game – Full Series (now $13.99, original price $19.99, PlayStation Plus price $9.79)
Shank (now $6.99, original price $9.99, PlayStation Plus price $4.89)
Swarm (now $9.99, original price $14.99, PlayStation Plus price $6.99)

I myself picked up Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game (Had always been waiting for it to hit a sale), PixelJunk Shooter 2 (Which, I'm glad I hadn't bought it before like I planned), and Shank (admittedly completely on the repeated positive mentions from Chance....and the fact that I completely spaced last month when it was on sale for the same price. Or around that.) So, that was $14.67 for all three. (No tax, for some reason. I'm not complaining, of course.) Considering said titles would have set me back $29.97 any other time, I actually saved more than I spent! (Difference of $15.30.) I love doing savings math, can you tell?

Of course, it's one thing to buy these games, but entirely another to actually download them to play. Considering the only one I had pre-downloaded was Scott Pilgrim (had the demo for months), and Shank is....2 Gigs, and my internet is shit from a butt, this might be a problem. Not to mention that I also bought the Burnout Paradise bundle in last week's update which is 3.5 gigs.....

Well, worse comes to worst, I can always take my PS3 somewhere with better internet, I suppose. But then again, I already have a metric ton of disk-based games I haven't even touched yet......Blargh! Not enough time in the day!

What's all this, then?

This is going to be many things, but first and foremost, it is, quite simply and unsurprisingly, a place for me to write. Sometimes about video games, sometimes about movies, and other times, just to write out mini-stories and the like. As an outlet for me, it will likely reflect how I am; at times it will be entertaining, and other times it will be informative. I just hope that every time it's interesting at the very least.

The current goal is a post every other day to settle myself in; eventually, I will seek to post every day, if just to raise an inquiry that I've found I've tripped over most of that day, or to retell an amusing, or perhaps less so, tale from the day. I find that I can be long-winded at times, so perhaps this will be less of a concern than I imagine!

While it would make sense to change this to grow as "Kupowered" does, I hope to keep this just as it is and, sometime down the road, re-read it with a slight chuckle and mumble to myself, "I did it." So take this as a mission statement, if you will, and we will see how it works out!

Handy Post-Types Guide!

A Look Back: In lieu of reviews (which I might do in the future), these posts will be fond recollections of older games from my past, telling you why I believe them to be good and why you might be interested in playing them.
Giant Robot On: I like Giant Robots. Who doesn't? These posts will always be talking about something with Giant Robots in it, be it video games or anime or movies.
Less-Short Story: On occasion, inspiration will hit me and I'll want to write a short story or, as the name implies, expand on a story from my old Ficly. That will be these posts.
LittleBigThings: In these posts, I will be discussing (read: gushing about) things in the LittleBigPlanet series of games, from the game itself, to user-created levels, to my own adventures in Craftworld.
Music!: Fairly self-Explanatory. In these posts, I will talk (gush) about music I like, and possibly music that I don't care for.
Popcorn On: These posts will revolve around movies that I've seen that are just great in one way or another. The aim is to give you enough to interest you into seeing it without giving too much so that you feel you know what's going to happen.
Quick Note: These will usually be, as can be expected, short posts to keep in touch with the blog and it's readers if I'm not prepared for a full post or if I'm updating on a past post.
Ragequit: Completely opposite of A Look Back, these posts will be about the few games I've had to quit playing because they just weren't fun. (Or that I might have finished, but still hated.)

There will likely be more types of posts added in the future that will be explained here.
