Why was coming home with a game, putting it in the machine, and start playing a minute later so wrong??? I hate this install bs. Big downside to next gen. Because optical discs are VERY slow compared to hard drives. The prettier the graphics, the more complex the AI, the larger the game's data foot...

The Ducks were down by two goals. Kind of different.

The Dreamcast was clearly the better console. Just the way Sega ran it, it had no chance. People forget it's the first console w/ online play. Remember NFL 2K1, even on dial up, that game played pretty smooth online. Better console compared to what? The N64 and PS1? Sure. The Dreamcast was released...

Supposedly in the books, the scene was not played out as a rape. But the director of this episode claimed that by the end it is consensual. Seems like it was just a poorly scripted/shot scene. GRRM's take on how it was portrayed in the book: "I think the “butterfly effect” that I have spoken of so ...

Here is a crazy question. Both systems will live through the generation and both will be supported for years to come ..Why does it mater to you how many each company sells? Seriously? Why does it matter to you? Mostly because I don't your assumption holds for the XB1 automatically. I don't care who...

Rumor has it these NBC guys will be the announcers for next gen NHL 15.

Nooooooooo!

WTF is happening. Now that you point it out. That got out of hand fast didnt it? Thats Habs Bruins for ya? From my perspective that wasn't habs/bruins, that was you acting like an obnoxious brat in a school yard argument. I don't know the history between you two but can we keep the hockey discussio...

Seriously. Where did all this hate come from?

There is a difference between trading a late first round pick for a guy who can solidify your playoff spot and possibly make you a true contender vs surrendering a potential high 1st round pick in a desperate attempt to jump start a team at the bottom of the standings. Many criticized the deal origi...

Isles fans just witnessed Garth Snow surpassing Mike Milbury as the worst GM in their history and probably League history. Nice deal for the Habs. I do not understand how this guy still has a job. The Islanders have been terrible for so many years now. They surprised some people last year but I thi...

OK, I understand Hemsky is no longer the player who never came close to fulfilling his potential. But dumping him for a third-round and fifth-round pick, and picking up the tab for half of his remaining salary? Kevin Lowe proves yet again he's the most idiotic front-office man in hockey. He must ha...

It's not a big deal to run the wire, was just being a bit lazy about it.

Seriously? 5Ghz only? BOOOOO! How about XB1? Does that support 5Ghz?

As good as Titanfall Beta was for me, I am not sure if a free digital copy of the game will be enough to catch up with the sales number that Sony has put up so far and can only get better now that the PS4 is open to Japan. But it's a nice attempt to get more people into their living room. Still, un...

Well, since no one else has done it yet a might as well get the ball rolling.

Harold Ramis, dead at 69. One of the all-time great comedic writer/directors. While I find Cadyshack to be horribly overrated I would list Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters as two of the best comedies ever.

You could look into text based sports sims or simple turned based strategy games that don't have taxing graphics. 11" is small. What resolution is it. I imagine a lot of game's interfaces were designed for at least 13" screen although it all depends on the resolution. EDIT: Install Steam and look th...

When did customizing a PC become such a PITA? :evil: I haven't the time or inclination to build my own, but the retailers won't let you customize for $hit! All I want is a box with a reasonable processor, a small SSD and a nice 2TB HDD. Not picky in the least about the 3D card or anything else. The...

This loss is particularly sad. PSH was one of the best actors of the last 20 years (roughly). Really sad that he had relapsed into drug use even after being clean for 23 years. He will be missed.

I bought a 360 within the first year of release and it never failed me other than having to get the DVD drive replaced after at least 3 or so years. I had it until about a year ago when I sold it. I suppose I was pretty lucky. Lol. It was perfect except when it stopped working. I see. It's perfectl...

Eventually Sony got around to fixing the problems with new models. So to say MS only puts out faulty hardware, well that's not true because so does Sony. Eventually they get around to addressing it with new revisions of the hardware, It's all part of being an early adopter. There's a big difference...

Also my understanding is that the PC market is small potatoes when compared to the console market, which in large part accounts for the puslishers' willingness to see early and deep price drops for digital distribution. I could be wrong, though. I don't want to rehash this argument again but accord...

Just did my first Xbox Fitness session. I did P90x's Plyometrics (which I was pretty familiar with). The kinect def works a lot better for workouts this go around. I'm also impressed with the volume of free workouts available (with gold membership). Great stuff. The kinect's ability to read your he...

Any of you, like Sudz, who are considering not hooking up the Kinect sould take a look at the Polygon livestream vid about the UI. They're pretty clear that the UI is a disaster if you're using just the controller. Worth a look before cutting that cord, I think. http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/20/51...

Live streaming delayed until 2014 on the Xbone. GOOD. that s*** is worthless. I have to say that the streaming stuff does little for me as well (all systems), but I think maybe that's a generational thing. My kids watch minecraft videos all the time. But folks like to show off, I guess. I can hones...

Here's one comparison video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1htWT9eWJ_k If the PS4 has an edge it's so slight to be unnoticeable unless actually comparing them side by side in a video like that. The colors looked a little off in the xbox images but that seems like an issue with TV calibration not c...

X1 may be great at playing games but you don't think if they devoted the costs they're allocating to Kinect 2 that they couldn't have produced a better spec'd machine, possibly at a lower price? No, and I LIKE the fact that the x1 is going to utilize the Kinect. I like that more games with take adv...
