The River was freaking awesome!!!

I would wait and see how the new Haswell chips turn out. This is supposed to be the generation where Intels integrated graphics are on par or better than the mid tier dedicated chipsets.

Have 2 of them, love em!

Not true in the least. The shotgun is one of the most difficult weapons to become proficient with for HD.

This doesn't include the ESRAM. Supposedly that brings it up to 170ish when the ESRAM is used, its only 32mb but they say the DME's allow it function much faster and more efficiently.

I currently use my 360 as a media hub in my living room. I dont play games like i used to, and maybe buy 5-6 new games a year along with a few used games and games that go on sale online or through XBL. After the wife and kids go to bed, i may sit up and game for a few hours, or just randomly...

I'm still expecting it to come in slightly under the PS4 in terms of raw power. Which is fine. I'm more interested in what these boxes offer me in terms of a complete experience. Higher resolution and more effects aren't enough for me anymore, if that's all I cared about I would just keep my...

Quick books does it all. Pay your accountant to set it up for you and show you the ropes then you can run everything from there. Also look into an intro to quick books class at your local community college.

I'm pretty damn excited to see what MS has come up with. XBL back in 2005 was a gamechanger for the console scene. As someone who doesn't get too excited about exclusives (ms or Sony), I'm really interested in what these next gen boxes offer on top of the games.

Lowes/Home Depot sells something called Damprid (or something close) is assorted sizes. Its a bucket of stuff that soaks up moisture in the air. Left 2 in the basement of the restaurant last winter and they worked great.

Yup! Honestly, its not a bad product for what it is. There is something to be said for the simplicity of it. And now when you want to upgrade you can just retire it to the bedroom and use all your new found smarts on a traditional setup! And honestly, synthetic surround sound isn't horrible...

I'm not sure it will be replaced by something else. They know exactly how much they are raking in on free to play titles these days, it just makes sense to let everyone in and have a much larger pool for all the micro transactions.

Wireless and "bad ass theater like experience" never go together. The only time wireless is an acceptable solution is when your room layout leaves no other choice. For a dedicated theater room get a nice receiver and a quality set of speakers and a dedicated HT sub. try to find a local place...

Not a big deal to me this time around. Next generation switch may be different with the amount of digital stuff.

Grats!!! Now go watch some movies and play some games! Good audio makes everything so much better!

I've read good things about the pioneers as well, especially for the price. What sub are you looking at?

Thanks for the heads up on those backlights. Ordering today!

I would also suggest going all out on the sub. Look at the Internet direct/boutique companies that specialize in HT subs. A good sub that digs deep really changes the movie/game experience. A lot of the sounds you can't even hear, but feel in your chest. Good times!!! I have a 10" SVS that's...

Did you get speakers yet Sean? What is your budget? Strongly suggest going with the best 2.1 setup you can afford at first, then filling in the rest. Good speakers will last you a lifetime, unlike the electronics.

Newer Ski/Wakeboard boats ride pretty well for their size. They are designed to put more hull/weight in the water to create a better wake for launching. I don't know much about the hull design of older ski boats, but older boats in general ride well due to them being heavier. I checked out that...

I live on one of the top 10 boating lakes in the country and have been on and around boats all of my life. They are expensive!! Boat = bust out another thousand. How big is the lake you will be boating on? 18" is pretty small, depending on the size of the lake you could really take a...

Agree. It sucks. But with the huge budgets and teams sizes along with ever increasing pressure from the consumers to increase visuals/gameplay we cant really expect anything less. With budgets the size of summer blockbusters and a fraction of the fanbase, revenue streams and financing...

Does anyone know if you can watch the show tonight without cable/satellite? I have roku/ps3/xbox with amazon prime, Netflix and hulu plus subs. Thanks!

No Tuco, every single corporation and person with more than 5 zero's in their bank account personally hates you and the only reason they are in business is to personally take a huge steamy shit on your consumer rights. smh...

Yup, with everyone on the x86 I really can't see anyone staying platform agnostic unless the patching/cert costs play a factor.

I honestly didn't know that. But admittedly I don't much care for the japan centric type games. Nothing wrong with them, just not my thing. Would it be fair to say western developed 3rd parties are all but gone?

I think the days of console exclusives are long gone, at least as far 3rd parties go. So that just leaves the 1st party output, of which Sony has a larger and more diverse portfolio. MS has fewer 1st party studios, but some would argue the IP's they own hold more weight. At that point it comes...

I was born in '76... I cant throw my money at them fast enough....

http://www.vgleaks.com/microsoft-xbox-roadmap-2013/ So yeah... Pretty much every negative rumor tossed around the past 3 months are confirmed to be complete bullshit. Seems they came from people commenting on functionality of dev kits, which was kinda what I assumed. Was just a matter of the...

I agree. I don't see a way to market a 500 dollar "Living Room Entertainment Device That Also Plays Games" in the age of $99.99 Roku/Apple TV's and Ipads/Tablets. I still think we are missing something huge with all the rumors going around. Because right now, if we go strictly on rumors it...

I just really hope there is some sort of offline functionality. I'm all for online integration and everything, but if is just a brick if its not connected then I sure wont be buying one. I really can't see this happening, but you never know... I'll get the ranch dressing out if I have to eat up...

I absolutely understand what you are saying. But I'm sure this shit has been planned out to the dime for 5 or more years now, I doubt any amount of outrage is going to change anything. This is going to be a very interesting generation. I honestly think the type of gaming we have been doing this...

Yeah I can't really figure out the chat system at all on the 360

And if it's completely one sided and offers no benefits then I don't see it selling worth a damn. Could be cool, could suck ass. I will at least wait to see what they say.

I really don't see how I was defending anything, but ok. Seems no one wants to wait and see what it might offer.

While I think his way of handling it was completely wrong, I do not agree with all the vile and outrage directed at him. Too many people on the Internet just want to pile on the hate and rage at whatever target they don't agree with. It is getting out of hand. If the online functionality of...

Picked this up yesterday on a total impulse buy...and having way more fun than I probably should be. Anyone else playing on 360?

Yeah, it's going to be all about the games for me as well. While Sony does have more first party stuff I personally didn't care for much of it. 3rd part was better on both consoles IMO.

I remember reading that his position was not very high up the chain. Mid level management at the best. I still don't get people saying they won't buy the thing and it hasn't even been announced yet. I am very curious to see what they come up with.

And this is exactly why I think the rumor about the required connection is bullshit. I just don't see a way they can monetize the benefits enough to outweigh the negatives.
