    MLB Hot Stove '13-'14

    Texas hasn't been in the habit of sacrificing their draft picks so who gives a fuck? Choo's contract reflects the nature of free agency and it's something that makes sense under certain circumstances. What doesn't make sense is handing out a bunch of 200 million dollar contracts when you have...

    The Hobbit

    Finally got around to seeing the first movie and it just felt like Lord of the Rings redux. He needs to abandon this shit and make The Frighteners 2.

    The Hunt (Jagten)

    Anyone seen this? I had anticipated the movie for quite a while and just recently came across a blu ray rip. It's a Danish film about a divorced teacher (Mads Mikkelsen) who is terrorized by members of his community after a rumor circulates around town. It's one of the best films I've seen.

    Why would anyone want to work for these bureaucratic idiots? I was hoping Carrie would have grown some balls and quit.

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    Saw it last night and loved it. I hadn't read the books so I wasn't expecting the twist. Jena Malone looked extra delicious in the movie.

    Common movie behaviors that never happen in real life

    It's a necessary device in most films. It really only becomes a problem when it's poorly delivered or a movie just goes overboard with it like Inception did.

    Common movie behaviors that never happen in real life

    Things like exposition are used to clue the audience in. A character reminding another character of important events or people isn't done just for the hell of it. It's done so we as viewers don't get lost. Also, I don't have a problem with exaggerated sounds (punching, etc.) but the Wilhelm...

    Arrow

    I must be the only one who doesn't like Deathstroke's motivations. So he's going to kill innocent people and torture his former friend because his extramarital girlfriend was killed? The anti-hero route would have been a better way to go I think.

    Common movie behaviors that never happen in real life

    I randomly thought about the fact that characters never say "hello" or "bye" on the phone and I started laughing. Also, drivers insist on looking at the passenger the whole time instead of paying attention to the road.

    Xbox 360 Top Games

    Dragon's Dogma was fucking garbage when I played it. Most of my time was spent trekking across the land because the game lacked a viable method of fast travel. I have no clue if they've changed it or not.

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

    It would probably cost around 100 bucks to implement backwards compatibility on each console. When you consider the streaming service's overhead, the difference is likely insignificant.

    Almost Human

    We've already caught glimpses of the story arch. A lot of these sci-fi shows presumably use the procedural formula to familiarize the audience with the universe and to allow viewers to warm up to the characters. X-Files did it, Fringe did it, Continuum did it. It's not unique to Almost Human and...

    If Microsoft deducted 100 bucks from the retail price people would actually buy the console.

    Almost Human

    You can't denounce the show's formula when they've aired only four episodes. Fringe was a procedural show until the second season when it started focusing on the overarching story.

    Homeland

    He was smothered for 35 seconds while suffering severe head trauma so I'm ok with the death under those circumstances. Also, Iran isn't a popular travel destination, but an American woman walking through the streets of Tehran isn't outlandish.

    2013 VGX Awards (Formerly known as the VGAs)

    I never said they were the same. I said the graphical differences are negligible in most cases and that both consoles have something to offer. 20 dollars is a little low but 30 or 40 bucks sounds reasonable. Aren't developers losing out on profit due to the inflated video game prices? Also...

    2013 VGX Awards (Formerly known as the VGAs)

    There's nothing wrong with playing video games just like there isn't anything wrong with going to the movies. And the issue isn't whether or not you can fit video games into your budget. It's whether or not video game prices are exorbitant and I think most people would agree that they are. 20...

    I'm reading that they're implementing a streaming service so maybe most games will become available. Still, backwards compatibility should be a standard feature these days.

    2013 VGX Awards (Formerly known as the VGAs)

    Broken Age was the only game that impressed me. Oh, and game prices are absolutely unreasonable. If I actually bought all the games that piqued my interest, I'd probably spend about five grand annually.

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

    It's fucking horseshit that you can't play most PS3 games on the new console. I understand that the systems use different architecture, but why not make all ps3 games available for download? Naughty Dog's releasing the DLC for The Last of Us on ps4 doesn't make sense under those circumstances.

    Some of the characters in Destiny's trailers look pretty interesting but that gameplay video was pretty unremarkable and that scripted communication was just cringeworthy.

    Witcher 3

    They took over a game called They a few years ago and plan to finish it in the near future. It looked fucking horrible at the time so I'm hoping they scrap it.

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

    I just have to add that I saw Battlefield 4 screenshot comparisons and PC blew the new consoles out of the water. I'm amazed that they couldn't implement something that comes close to high-end PC GPUs. Is it really that hard?

    According to most sources I've read, the graphical differences are almost indistinguishable in most cases. I don't have a dog in this fight. I just think people are being unreasonable. Both consoles will offer something for everyone. Microsoft just needs to lower their price and revise a couple...

    Cano and Jay-Z are morons. They just rejected one of the biggest contracts in MLB history and no longer have any leverage with the Yankees.

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

    Show me all these sources that claim the PS4 is far superior. Your evaluation of these consoles is premature considering they've been out for a whole two weeks. Right now the PS4 has the upper hand because it's cheaper and its release wasn't affected by crappy demonstrations.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Why do people keep saying AC 3 was a disaster? I can understand that sentiment regarding a game like Dead Space 3 which was stripped of all its survival horror elements, but AC 3 improved the series in a lot of ways.

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

    The graphical differences between the two consoles are negligible. The only difference at the moment is Xbox's upscaling issues which can be fixed. Again, it's too early to tell which console is superior and I'm sure Xbox's popularity will rise with the release of some decent exclusives.

    I've been looking at graphical comparisons and it looks like neither console uses anti-aliasing. Is that an option that can be toggled on consoles?

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    I figured that's what it was. I stared at screenshots of various games for several minutes and couldn't see a difference. Also, does the HBAO option not apply to ATI cards? I read that ATI cards use HDAO and setting ambient occlusion to high HBAO didn't alter the performance at all.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    This is probably the best-looking game I've played and it's optimized pretty well. My video card is a couple of years old and the game runs on max settings better than AC 3 did. The only thing I'm curious about is ambient occlusion. I still don't know what that does and I can't spot a difference...

    Cano turned down a 7/168 contract. Whatever he gets will probably become the new worst contract in MLB history.
