    Well the major league team is basically sub AAA level plus Darvish and Beltre, not really worth watching most nights.

    Yeah it's definitely reminiscent of EQ - it even is a 15 year old MMO at the time of the story just like EQ is. The novel writer probably played EQ back in the day.

    Mavs re-sign Devin Harris for 3 years-9 million, great deal when you look at what guys like Shaun Livingston got.

    I liked Skyward Sword, only thing that bugged me was the constant tutorials and discovery text. Probably hinges on if you like motion control. As for other must have Wii games - Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Xenoblade Chronicles, Metroid Prime Trilogy, The Last Story.

    From the Nintendo financial meeting going on right now, Mario Kart 8 has sold ~2 million copies to consumers in less than a month. Can't wait to see the hardware numbers.

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    It was hard to watch good soccer during the year until recently, all the games were either stashed on Fox Soccer channel or GolTV. Now NBC has the Premier League and they really went all out this year - good production values and the big games were playing on Saturday/Sunday mornings on their...

    Harris/Ellis/Melo/Dirk/Chandler - how you like that starting 5? Mavs reacquiring Chandler is a power play to get Melo, they were tight in New York.

    NBA 2014 Off-Season Thread

    I don't think people hate Shaq for team hopping. People hate LeBron not for leaving Cleveland, but HOW he left Cleveland. Also that pre-championship Pep Rally in Miami where they declared they would win 8 championships rubbed people the wrong way.

    They offered him $20mil for 1 year. They wanted capspace to pursue Dwight and CP3. Then both of them fucked up and whined and got traded before they could become free agents. Also add to the above deal Dalembert. So if they re-sign Devin Harris to play PG for $3mil, and Dirk re-signs for...

    I'll take Kobe, Dirk, and Duncan's legacy over Shaq or any other team hopper chasing rings any day. Winning a championship for the team that drafted you and staying there your whole career has a sort of romantic quality about it.

    Yeah but Wade could sabotage the Heat's cap situation and LeBron knows it, Wade is not worth anywhere close to max money now and probably shouldn't even be the starter. If LeBron wants to keep winning titles either 1) Heat have to re-tool their roster which requires Wade and Bosh taking way less...

    3rd parties deserve at least half of the blame for the poor 3rd party sales on Wii U. Except for Ubisoft (Rayman, ZombiiU) and Deus Ex HR (Wii U is best version), they have all done really shoddy jobs on their ports. If you use zero effort on porting over to another system and it has terrible...

    They aren't really the same game though outside of the characters - they are different enough mechanics wise to keep it fresh. Plus they space out their release to one per console instead of one every year like some of the other AAA franchises.

    Last 3DS Zelda was a sequel to A Link to the Past. Wii U Zelda is going to be open world ala Skyrim, not really the same game.

    I assume they say it won't register for the Digital Deluxe is because eventually their refurb's won't be new stock sent back from retailers, and will be actual repaired Wii U's that had broken. Those units probably won't have the paperwork to register it for those promotions like new units.

    The Nintendo Refurbs are basically new - only thing you don't get is the GamePad charger stand. The Mario Kart 8 Bundle is a great value also but good luck finding one.

    I can get it to go through drywall walls, don't really have anything else to test with though. It doesn't work off the router because Nintendo won't make an online required console.

    Look's like it's not Bluetooth: I can use my Gamepad in my bedroom about 40 feet away, just have to make sure the Wii U isn't near your other consoles or your wireless router. The walls in my apartment don't seem to be a barrier but I'm sure there are some materials that will cause it to lose...

    Wii U

    You can make lobbies for your friends to join in MK8. Outside of no voice chat during races (which is more of a philosophical choice than technical), Mario Kart 8 multiplayer online is pretty great - no lag at all. Nintendo tends to favor single player or Local Co-Op for their games in the past...

    Wii U

    Yeah, Nintendo can't and doesn't want to compete in the hardware market with Sony and MS. They are a toy company who just does one thing, they MUST sell their consoles and handhelds as close to a profit per device as possible - they have no other parts of their company to keep them from going...

    Yeah, it did after games started coming out, it's first year was kind of barren on that front. Nintendo is hoping for a similar results with the Wii U - cursory evidence (Wii U Bundles being sold out/very scarce and Nintendo Refurb units being backordered) shows that Mario Kart 8 has moved a lot...

    He seems pretty good with match ups and calling up plays, unless you think it's Pat Riley with an ear piece pulling the strings. I know he has LeBron but so did Mike Brown. There are very few active coaches with rings, so he has to have done something right.

    There aren't any good coaches available for OKC to hire. Let's be honest, there are maybe 5 coaches in the league who actually add to a teams winning chances (as in, out strategizing/gameplanning) - then a bunch of coaches that don't move the needle either way and are probably interchangeable...
