  1. Leaked PlayStation 5 design looks out of this world in renders

    Actually, the GameCube controller was comfy AF and pioneered the analog stick layout that Nintendo and Microsoft still use to this day. Switch Pro controller feels nice, but stick durability is meh. I still feel like the Xbox One controller takes the cake this generation, though I wish it had...
  2. The Official Xbox One Thread

    Guess I have the worst luck ever. I bought my Xbox One on Monday, the same day they rolled out a faulty OS update that bricked the Blu-Ray drives. Had to exchange the console four times before anyone figured out what the issue was. Finally have the fifth console up and running normally. I...
  3. The Official Xbox One Thread

    Is anyone else having issues with the August 2014 system update? My Xbox One now fails to read game discs, but continues to read Blu-Rays and DVDs just fine. http://blog.gadgethelpline.com/xbox-update-affecting-disc-drives-0x80820002/
  4. article says "xbox one has no hope, will lose this generation to ps4"

    I follow similar logic. I would have paid $100 for Skyrim given all of the enjoyment I've gotten out of it. Similarly, I played Modern Warfare 2 + 3 for days upon days with my friends, so I didn't mind ultimately shelling out for the DLC packs because I feel like I got my money's worth when I...
  5. The "I Hate Gamestop" Thread

    Good article on Polygon today about the "Cold War" between digital, retailers, and hardware makers.
  6. The "I Hate Gamestop" Thread

    I should have clarified "99% of the people I know" i.e., 22-30 year old demographic. Still, my point is the following: the average consumer doesn't really give a $h!# about having the highest resolution, highest fidelity AV experience.
  7. The "I Hate Gamestop" Thread

    Again, you're assuming most people buy Blu-Rays. They don't. Most people stream Netflix/Hulu/AmazonPrime on their big 65" LED TV via their console and I'd be surprised if they even have any external speakers. My friends all call me a snob because I won't play split-screen, have external...
  8. The "I Hate Gamestop" Thread

    Online Pass, anyone? The DRM on consoles is there; it's simply more sophisticated. Now it's tied to your gamer tag vs your actual hardware. Digital vs physical. Digital will win.
  9. article says "xbox one has no hope, will lose this generation to ps4"

    You're so far off base it's not even funny. 360 had three PowerPC cores. PS3 has one Cell (basically PowerPC+) core plus the eight or so SPU (that no one wanted to program for). PS3 also had severe memory bottlenecks, and a weaker GPU, and lacked the 360's eDRAM. So which one is "cut...
  10. Most underrated and most overrated developers

    Over-Rated: Pretty much all of them, but Crytek, DICE, and whatever Ubi studios do Assassin's Creed Under-Rated: Criterion, CD Projekt Red Deserve their acclaim: Naughty Dog, 4A Developers I Miss: Westwood Studios, LucasArts circa TIE Fighter
  11. How long do lower backs take to heal?

    OP, I've injured myself similarly twice. It took about two full months (8 weeks) until the pain subsided and mobility allowed me to begin lifting again. Even then, I stayed between 95#-135# for weeks, focusing on technique with full deads, rack pulls, and Romanians. The second time it...
  12. Officially joined Crossfit gym... owwww....

    Of course not. But now you're cherry picking specific examples. CF athlete would probably kill the soccer player at rowing, but a collegiate rower would of course make the CF athlete look like his bitch. It's all varying degrees of a spectrum. CF's purpose was to put itself right in the...
  13. Officially joined Crossfit gym... owwww....

    It is all a matter of what you're training for. This is my biggest pet peeve with CF, and I am a CF-L1: Different goals require different training protocols. If your goal is to look like a bodybuilder, then CF is not your best protocol. Period. But if you are a firefighter who has to...
  14. Officially joined Crossfit gym... owwww....

    99% of CrossFitters will kip before using bands for volume. It's just the nature of their beast. To them, the kip is an acceptable variation on the pull up. CrossFit is a touchy subject for a lot of people. It shouldn't be, but it is due to a variety of reasons: 1) Poor programming and...
  15. Officially joined Crossfit gym... owwww....

    No the bands are there for people who can't do pull ups. They assist in loading your weight.
  16. Crytek hints at Crysis 1 style Exp. for Crysis 3

    Crytek = dead to me. I was one of the few people who actually enjoyed Crysis 2, and Richard Morgan's story. Crysis 3 is a cash-grab joke with a five-hour campaign that completely fails to follow its predecessor's story in any way that makes sense. And since the competitive multiplayer is...
  17. Call of Duty: Ghosts

    I agree you can't judge it off 15 seconds of footage, but you also can't go off the writer either. Crysis 2 - Written by Richard Morgan (Altered Carbon) = ridiculous plot fiasco (cool ideas with the transhuman Nanosuit tho) Modern Warfare 3 - Written by Paul Haggis (Casino Royale, Million...
  18. Battlefield 4 to run @ 720p on PS4/NeXbox.

    Huh? You think DICE is magically going to find some new secret way to double the frame rate on consoles? BF3 barely held 30-fps. There's no way BF4 is going to hit 60.
  19. LucasArts is dead--sent to the farm by Star Wars' new stepparent

    TIE Fighter remains one of my favorite games. Ever. Really pissed at Disney on this one.
  20. Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast & Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy GPL'ed!

    RIP, LucasArts. So much for getting a modern sequel to TIE Fighter...
  21. Anyone else who just can't give up manual transmissions?

    This +1. Even with traffic, I STILL prefer my manual transmission. Sure, I still kinda suck at launching quickly without spinning the tires, but it's just so much damn fun to do a quick shift from 3rd to 4th on a sunny drive. Roads here in the USA do kind of suck the fun out of it (God, I...
  22. '08 Acura TSX: Supercharge?

    Man, some of you guys didn't read the original post do you? I am not looking to buy a TSX, or a TL. I already own the vehicle, it is paid off, and I was thinking about getting under the hood and tinkering for the FUN of it, not because I am trying to drag race 335i's or want to destroy my...
  23. '08 Acura TSX: Supercharge?

    I don't really care about 0-60 times or any kind of graded performance metric. I was simply thinking it would be a fun "project" or hobby to tinker with. I enjoy the car as is; I just wish it had a bit more mid-range power for passing and general "seat of your pants" feeling. Would only...
  24. '08 Acura TSX: Supercharge?

    I have a 2008 Acura TSX with 42K miles on the clock and zero money owed (paid off last year). It's been through 3 minor fender benders (rear bumper replaced, front headlight backed into, left driver's door backed into and repainted), so the resale value is naturally shot. The car has been...
  25. Tomb Raider (2013)

    Yeah, how a WWII sub-machine gun suddenly transforms into an AK was kind of irritating me. Regarding the pistols, however, she actually gets new one mid-way through from Roth, and his are decidedly more like her original 1911s in the first game.
  26. Tomb Raider (2013)

    Patch came onto Steam this morning. 95MB, so decent chunk of changes. I'm torn with this game. It's gorgeous, I'm enjoying the story, and the game as a whole is great. It's just fun to play and a really good adventure. On the same hand, it's a piss-poor "Tomb Raider" game. It has...
  27. Tomb Raider (2013)

    Yeah, I think you're on your own there. I don't mind the odd QTE here and there (like pressing X to have Lara grab the ledge if she's slipping) but this, "Uh oh! Someone grabbed you! Now wiggle your controller around really fast to escape," stuff is just irritating. Either give me a cutscene...
  28. What is your Mount Rushmore of PC games?

    TIE Fighter. Wing Commander. Command & Conquer. Half-Life. Deus Ex. Quake 2 over a LAN. CS Beta 5.2
  29. Tomb Raider (2013)

    I'm enjoying it, but as someone who considers Lara Croft to be his first girlfriend (sank WEEKS into the original two games on the first PlayStation), I can't help but say it doesn't feel like Tomb Raider. The game looks gorgeous, runs smoothly (minus the random lock-ups), the voice acting is...
  30. Music Back up: FLAC to MP3?

    Any particular reason?
  31. Music Back up: FLAC to MP3?

    Okay, thanks to KentState, we can call this one solved. For paranoid/anal enough to go through the extra steps, this is the best way to do it. I created two sub-folders in My Music, one called FLAC, one called LAME. I rip all the CDs using EAC (taking advantage of all of it's extra features)...
  32. Music Back up: FLAC to MP3?

    I was using Apple's lossless codec, but my problem is iTunes as ripper. I have a fair number of CDs with some decent wear and tear on them sadly, and EAC does an infinitely better job of error-correction, verifying data, and ensuring the WAVs are actually encoded properly and not filled with...
  33. Music Back up: FLAC to MP3?

    So, after spending way too much time in iTunes, I'm in the process of backing up all of my CDs (some 350+ albums of electronic dance, ambient, movie scores, and rock) to my media laptop using Exact Audio Copy and FLAC. Problem: I have an iPhone and 80GB iPod. Solution: FLAC to LAME...
  34. Halo 4 - November 6th

    Clearly you've never gone wild with a Warthog, brotha. That map is home to some of my favorite Halo 3 memories.
  35. Halo 4 - November 6th

    HEADSHOT :cool:
  36. Few observations after a long break from gaming

    Two cents: Getting into PC gaming is easier than ever. I came back in only two years ago after playing almost exclusively on my Xbox 360, and now I am to the point that I will probably skip the next Xbox (really depends on Halo 4 and what 343i brings to the table this fall). With assets...
  37. BFBC2 vs BF3?

    Go back and play Doom or Doom 2. Tell me how many "FOLLOW THIS GUY" or "GO THIS WAY" icons there are in the game. In old-school FPS games, the exploration was half of the experience. Now, the entire experience is jerking off big explosions, motion blur, lens flare and first-person...
  38. New SSD and partitions on old HDD

    NVM. Resolved it.
  39. New SSD and partitions on old HDD

    Right. Done. But it's still showing up in disk management as being a single HDD with two partitions. I tried reformatting and it's still two volumes. I just want it back to a single volume. Thoughts?
  40. New SSD and partitions on old HDD

    So I recently took the plunge on the Corsair GT 480GB SSD. I pulled my old HDD out, installed the SSD, enabled AHCI, installed a fresh version of Win7 on the SSD. Not problems there thus far. However, my OLD 7200rpm HDD is still partitioned into (D: System) and (E: HDD). I reformatted the...
