    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Yeah I agree. Seems like everyone has some pics of them playing a Kinect game the first few days they get it and then they never use it again. I personally have a few friends and a relative who own the Kinect and none of them use it at all.

    Detroit Real Estate

    Ok, so maybe I'm crazy, but I'm posting this here because I'm quote curious. 3000-6000 SQ. Ft. lots are selling for $1.00 - $200.00 in Detroit (shitty house included, so bulldozing/disposal fees likely a cost later on). Yes, I'm aware it's a bankrupt shit hole, but if it were to turn around in...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    I voted for Obama, and my impression that this is a ploy to distract people from looking at the IRS scandal and other crap. Before the Zimmerman craze every week was just more and more justified bashing of the current administration. Now all you see is crap about rioting and Zimmerman.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Yes I'm aware of that. It was more of a rhetorical question... I just find it amusing that they're so many people in this thread that seem to think Martin was justified in starting a fight with Zimmerman.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Serious post... There have been times I have been walking long distances home and someone behind me seems to make every turn that I make almost as if I'm being followed, but eventually they go another route or I end up at home. What is the definitive distance that is considered following? It...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Watching much CNN? Fuck what is with this he's not guilty shit, but oh he's not innocent either. He's not guilty! News flash, if some dude was following me I'd book it and call the cops on my cell phone. Punching him or getting into any type of physical altercation would be my very last resort.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    This was my thought. I certainly wouldn't approach someone that was following me, and if a confrontation did occur I would likely be like "Ummm, is there a problem? Something I can help with?" I certainly wouldn't start wailing on them unless it was the only option. I mean what do the police...

    Let's hope if he's found guilty that the backlash comes through on those who are guilty of railroading him.

    Welcome to the American justice system. It's nothing but a big chess game for all the overpaid lawyers out there.

    They are much more convenient, and you'd be shocked how many people have no idea about PC specs let alone how to build one. There will always be a place for consoles even if they are just a limited use computer.

    Either he saw the writing on the wall, or Ballmer gave him a courtesy heads up to start looking for a new gig... EDIT Wow. Maybe I'm behind the times, but I didn't realize this guy spent the majority of his career at EA. Not that any developer/publisher is out to help the consumer, but this...

    Microsoft to can Technet Subscriptions

    If I didn't work for a Non-Profit I'd be fucking pissed as I just bought a TechNet Plus subscription. Thankfully through Techsoup (non-profit software site) it only cost $42.00. Still lame though, but whatever. Does anyone know if they killed MSDN as well?

    Quick basics of SQL?

    Best bet is to downloadSQL ExpressandManagement Studio. After you get those setup gohereand download the 2008R2 version of the Adventure Works database. This should be a decent setup for you to test queries, build views, or whatever. Quick tip I have for you is to be careful when updating...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Can't wait to hear all the stories of people shouting "Xbox Off!" at the start of each match to disconnect Kinect users.... Also can't believe they can't include the cheap ass headset with a console price of $500.00. Surely somebody at Microsoft must realize that no matter how fast you are with...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    This was my thought given how little chatter there has been about it. I intend to skip Xbox this generation, but if every game has dedicated servers I definitely wont.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Ok maybe now that you brought this up someone can answer my previous question. If Microsoft is providing Azure for dedicated game servers on Xbox live, then won't every online game have dedicated servers? That to me seems like a huge bonus for Xbox.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Keep seeing rumors of dedicated servers via Azure for all Xbox games after the wired article that came out. Does anyone here have some insight on this? I really don't want to support Microsoft but dedicated servers for all the FPS games would be killer.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Yeah, after seeing the limits of the plan I don't even get why they scraped it. If anything people might share a digital game and then their buddy ends up buying it because he got sucked in after an hour of playing.

    Yeah I'm sure developers just want to make some coin on the secondary market so us poor saps who purchase games new don't have to pay as much... That's definitely why Microsoft put in the DRM "feature".

    Major domino action in effect. Already have friends saying they are ditching Sony for the One now which of course makes being loyal to Sony more difficult since I'd like to play online with my same crew... Was really hoping Sony would crush them, but I guess MS wised up to fast.

    The Last of Us

    Just stayed up late again to finish this bitch off. Awesome game! So many different things I could say, but the biggest thing is the character development. As others have said you actually care about the characters. They did a really good job at capturing all aspects of being human in that type...

    It's amazing how quickly you can lose a fan base. Just weeks ago my friends and I had assumed we'd all be getting the next gen Xbox. At this point none of us are getting it, and we have PS4's on preorder. We likely would've been loyal to the Xbox brand for many years to come had they not pulled...

    Can get two on Walmart.com as well. If you order separately on Newegg it will go through unlike Amazon, but who knows if they will cancel them later.

    This is really crazy to me. I honestly thought Microsoft would stay the course for this gen of consoles and just push Sony out of the market, but instead they gave Sony the perfect way to get back into the market! Just pre-ordered my PS4 from Amazon as well.

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    Cartoon completely reminds me of my high school experience regarding WoW. Got into beta late Junior year and pretty much played all the time. Random people at school would make snide comments like I was a super nerd or some shit, and now I run into them years later and they are all eager to play...

    Yeah, I actually had a pretty verbose explanation of Blizzards decline written up, but said screw it. The point was pretty much made with the D3 example.

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    Right... because its not as if Blizzard could easily create a new type of character akin to selecting "Hardcore" that doesn't have either auction house available.... Nope, not possible! It certainly wouldn't give any indication of how many people liked the auction house vs. disliked it either...

    Holy shit people... At what point can we just say shit happens and move on? Lets pretend there is some sort of Tornado suit that will protect you from any Tornado in the world. Would you guys clamoring for a super bunker go out and drop XXX$ per suit to protect against the very remote chance a...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Right, because coming onto a forum and saying "you should like this because we do" really convinces people to stick with it. If anything I would think the half arrogant blue responses to poorly made design decisions would garner more animosity for Blizzard and drive subscribers away not retain them.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What I find funny about the entire situation is that since Vanilla people have been bitching about stupid shit (just as the example you posted with double gating gear), and yet they continue to defend it when they know damn well they are going to change it at the very next opportunity. It just...

    Office 365 SharePoint isn't free, but definitely has all the features you'd want and more. 2013 has made downloading and uploading files even easier as well with the ability to drag and drop folders to and from document libraries.

    My thoughts exactly. Does a vigil really ease the burden of eleven years of rape, and forced abortions? I can't even imagine living in that environment.

    Uhh wtf.. It's not as if they knew she was a sex slave in a basement for the past decade. My question would be how long did they search, where did they search, what else did they do? You have to move on at some point and if they were posting flyers and crap for say a year or two then at a...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah I completely agree. To be honest even in Vanilla the level of animosity I had towards the Horde was more directed at the opposing elite guild, and their better players when doing Battlegrounds and such. At this point I feel less compelled to care because of cross sever everything. There is...

    Definitely can vouch for the 100M/300FT limitation. If you want to test it feel free to go buy a 1000FT box from Home Depot for Lowers for $75.00 and put an end on both sides then try to get connectivity through it.. wont work.

    SSIS Package Data Flow Task works on Win7 laptop but fails on Server 2008 R2

    That's crazy. I've never had a big issue with an OS service pack. I'm somewhat tepid about Exchange, SharePoint, and stuff like that, but generally if you even wait a few weeks you can see any issues caused by the service packs. At this point though I would think everyone would want SP1 for R2...
