bwahahahaha!!

Surely you jest.

They are prettier. They are not better.

Most of the highest rated games are on the DS platform. They are not the best looking. They are often the best.

Define 'better' and the time period we're talking about here.

REVENGE!

Joey Crawford is David Sterns good, through and through.

He's the guy Stern calls when he needs a series stretched or a star taken care of.

Kinda like the "assassin" the house will call in when you're winning big at a table in any casino in the U.S. You are rolling along, winning money and all of a sudden some 40 year old Asian lady with eyes of ice subs in to deal and in 1 hour you are in the back washing dishes.

Joey Crawford is head referee for tonight's games.......it's def. going to a game 7, David Stern has spoken.

I can't screen cap, sorry.

BUT HOLY SHIT, that's pretty funny. This Genova is truly being roundly mocked by all of civilization.

Brain drain, hahahahaha

The public has nothing to worry about there. Their collective intellect wouldn't fill a thimble, lol.

So, they don't want the rules that they passed to be applied to them. Roll Eyes

Amazing how the Dems who supported the 'Affordability' act don't have shit to say now.

There is an astounding lack of intellect on display.

They couldn't even think far enough ahead and take a critical look on how it would effect them.

We are talk about Congress, here, home of the most self-centered and self-serving people around.

If they are jumping ship....we must truly be fucked.

Obama: "This Is The Most Transparent Administration In History"

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2013/02/14/obama_this_is_the_most_transparent_administration_in_history.html

Is this the same administration that supplies certain department heads with 3rd party, secure emails so they can completely avoid having to honor FOIA requests?

That administration?

It has been a long-held belief in Mexico that the US and Mexican govts. play favorites with the Sinaloa Cartel. Not really surprising given the fact that Los Zetas are completely insane and much more violent.

They've really got themselves to blame as the Sinaloans prefer to solve their problems through bribes/influence while the Z just kills you and everyone you know/work with and then replaces the power vacuum created with their own people.

True, and wasn't this already quasi-confirmed, a while ago?

The Sinoloa Cartel is the "better" cartel when compared to the Zetas so our govt. acts on their behalf.

Call me crazy, but I don't think it's working, especially when our govt. refused to follow the rule of law and secure the border.

I was just thinking of the Meddle album today, especially "Fearless". Great tune.

Saw them live in '94.

That's close to the top of my top Pink Floyd albums. It's just fucking great.....except for Seamus, I know it's a joke song but it's the only weak point.

17 yrs as a pro and still going stong.

He's toast, this was the only game in the playoffs that he showed up for. He was a great player, but at 35 he is out of gas.

He also played like shit during the regular season, as well but he was injured for most of the season and only played in 60 games.

I just hope he has enough left in him for one last solid performance. Play well, get the ring and call it a day.

WHY is any of that data being recorded in the first place then?

From what I've read it's the basic usage stuff, some of it you can opt out of completely, kind of like your web browser or any other app you might download.

And to be honest, I'm probably going back to Sony for this next generation, it's just that some of the paranoid hyperbole about this thing is a bit over the top.

So I one were to shower, brush teeth, wash at the gym. Then eat at churches and places for homeless (would be mostly tuna and fast digesting carbs and soups), and say bum change to buy a few mcdonalds burgers or something like that, houw good of a physique could be built? Lots of walking everywhere would be the cardio. Free food means more money for gear. They even got places now u go into and shoot up (safe needles or something like that), so there's an easy spot to pin.

Ask Johny Falcon, all was going right in his world until he had his wings clipped.

everyone who thinks JAY CUTLER WILL BACK OUT OF THE OLYMPIA LAST MINUTE should totally get on the record now.

Write it down. Post now. You'll owe jay an apology when he arrives with an all-time best package.

The only "all time best package" Jay will be arriving with is the one package he delivers to the Mirage Hotel, floor 7 by the ice machine.

I'm sure we will be arming these "Rebel Fighters" in no time!

At the presentation XBOX seemed to be heavily marketed for it's TV functions and gives the industry a tool to know what you are watching and how you react to it, since the camera even measures pulse they can tell how different commercials effects you and they can sell that information to commercial interests. Microsoft is all about greed and control.

Microsoft has actually released the privacy disclosure for the Kinect....

You would be surprised at how little it transmits back to HQ and how shallow the data is i.e. your pulse,facial expressions etc. isn't sent back.

I can see this happening.

It's been floated before.

I think we're gonna find alot of Iraqi WMD's thats been rumored for years.

There were also the whispers of WMD convoys fleeing over the border to Syria during the run up to the war....

What could possibly go wrong!?

We are doing this on the behalf of Saudi Arabia, what other reason is there beside destabilization and distracting the American public?

If Syria does down and Assad is deposed....you will have:

-A failed state on the border of Israel and Lebanon and Turkey and Iraq.
-That failed state will be filled with thousands upon thousands of Al-Qaeda aligned Islamic radical groups/mercenaries looking to "branch out."
-Those groups will now be armed to the teeth, trained, organized and have access to further weapon stores, including MANPAD's) from the now defeated Syrian military. Oh, throw in chemical weapons as well.
-Hezbollah will now withdraw back into Lebanon and await a new civil war.
-Israel will again be under siege.

Maybe that's the plan, to bleed Hezbollah dry and distract them from Israel and make Syria a magnet for radical to go and get killed? How is that going to work?

Obama and Congress batting .000 in the World Series of Fucking Up the Middle East. Or batting 1.000, depending on how you view it.

Low wage? We got Congresspeople making well over 150K crying they might not be able to afford it.

Somehow, we told ya so...just doesn't say it enough!

The overwhelming majority of the jobs that have been/are being created since Obama entered office have low wage, no benefit jobs

This is going to be awesome to watch.

Rubio decided last year to become mcCain II. He's been VERY good at it lol...

Best is very relative to be honest.

For me, I like the PS4... But I'm looking at cost, what I use it for, what I want my console to do/have etc.

I look at the whole picture.

If you're talking raw power... Then it's so damn close you can't tell the difference... The PS4 is "slightly" more powerful, but that doesn't always mean anything. The Xbox is basically a Virtual Box running a windows 8 kernel and a proprietary OS that will allow for a second App to run in a window while playing a game. The Windows OS allows for Devs to easily work on a PC... do their thing and then port it to the Xbox One with very little issue. It really allows Devs to focus on some things that they otherwise couldn't because of taking the time to get the port working. It really does save on Dev costs as well... You don't have to buy a bunch of Xbox Durango Dev kits.

These time wastes can all factor into the game look and feel. Part of why "exclusives" are usually so good is because they only have to focus on the single platform... There's not time wasted on porting and multiplatform development.

I feel the PS4 is the way to go personally, but that's just me.

It's running a VM, does this mean that if MS keeps the x86 architecture going forward we can have backwards compatibility for new consoles in the future?

Has this thing hit the street yet?

Quote from: TommyBoy on June 11, 2013, 11:00:58 AM

Sony won. There will be very few developers stupid enough, or had enough $$ slung at them by MS to make their next games XBONE exclusives. All Sony has to do now is stick to their promise and not go anti-consumer like MS and they win. You are correct, people will go to the system their buddy is playing on. Hence why the PS4 will win. You buy a XBONE you are a tard for no ability of foresight whatsoever.

Bad thoughts.

Quote from: Archer77 on June 11, 2013, 06:17:24 AM

What won't? Used game restrictions. How does it work?

Each game must be installed on the HD and is then linked to the owners Xbox Live account via the entering of a passcode included with the game.

To sell your used game (I'm assuming from what I've read)

-Deactivate game from your account.
-Take physical media to an official used game retailer.
-They assign a new passcode
-They sell game.

MS did mention that there will be a Xbox Live marketplace where you can just sell games and skip the retailer but they haven't given many details.
