    It would screw the small investors/collectors (but how many of those intend to ever sell theirs, outside of desperation honestly?) - but the shops would take a short term loss for long term increase. You can see how the value of cards drops off drastically when it goes from Standard -> Modern...

    Share play and its usefulness

    Yea, was disappointed to read the patch notes - read to me like they were going to allow more library display changes than just "max at 15"

    Sunset Overdrive - The game that will establish Xbox One as the #1 2nd place console

    Moderately tempting to trade-in my old PS3 that barely sees any use now with double PS4's and a good quantity of stuff coming out towards that. If only BL:tPS wasn't keeping it here I might join the XBox team a little bit.

    The Evil Within - Betheseda/Shinji Mikami

    Working through Akumu again (took a break earlier to get the "no upgrade" trophy knocked out before I went back to it) - just reached Chapter 11 - it's a pretty damn intense difficulty. Basically all downhill now though the Chapter 10 boss fights were really what was worrying me, and with those...

    HENDO Hoverboards and Hoverboard Parks.. coming soon??

    Indeed - without massive changes in the efficiency of what they're working with it's not going to be practical. Based on the costs that are implied, I'd imagine its on the order of 1000x or so greater efficiency to make it sensible - a very long ways off - but this might be a baby step there, a...

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    I've got a feeling that the people that are going to downvote it were likely huge fans of the Fall from Heaven (or whatever the name were) mods that have been blasting every Civ thing since as not being as innovative as that line of mods. (Which were exceptional)

    Smartphones

    Yes and no - if you actually read the reports of people getting a crack fixed for the M8's they're doing COMPLETE REPLACEMENTS rather than just fixing the screen. For a normal "screen replacement" - I'm sure $60 is profitable (even though most places charge more than HTC does) - but they...

    HENDO Hoverboards and Hoverboard Parks.. coming soon??

    The implication if you read the KS is that it can be adjustable for the height (likely with some limits) just that 1 inch was the most controllable/comfortable.

    Soygen: I'm guessing Brad McQuaid is happy to hear you're back to supporting Pantheon.

    Smartphones

    Yep, part of why I didn't mind going all out this time, pretty sure this generation will last me until 2020 or so unless I'm clumsy. HTCs repair service seriously mitigates the risk of clumsiness too. $60 screen repairs that they end up replacing the whole damn phone is crazy good as a...

    The Evil Within - Betheseda/Shinji Mikami

    I'm playing through on Akumu now, Vorph. It's no joke - literally a scratch kills. And I'd mostly agree on the "not survival horror" statement. There's a few parts where resource management is an issue, but unless you're ignoring spending Green Gel or some other handicapping it doesn't seem THAT...

    It's not really a trolling, there's really idiots who say his precise shit. Seen so many of them over the years when my wife mentions her depression issues to random folks. Hell, right now dealing with her freaking out because my dad just got moved to a 24/7 Care Center for his Parkinson's...

    Seems odd if it's having problems without the direct connect Ut vs. Vita Portable Remote Play - the wireless/over the internet versions seemed as close to flawless as you can expect in each case for the Vita Portable.

    The Evil Within - Betheseda/Shinji Mikami

    It's playable, the story is hard to follow, the scares seem slight to me thusfar - but overall it's probably C- territory. Definitely playable, but with so much good stuff coming up, I'd probably wait unless you're DESPERATE for a game to play over Halloween. (or if you hate having extra money...

    Have you tried doing the "Child of Light" test running the PS4 version streaming to it though? (or PS3, but I don't think you can stream from PS3, right? Obviously can use something else to test fidelity if you don't have CoL on PS4, just using that term since you used it for the two previous) I...

    From the bit I've seen, supposed to do it very well (not seen any mention of measurable lag) but at 720p. So as long as the resolution hit is fine by you it should do that well from what I've seen. (see my mentions of smaller TVs above - part of my reasoning)

    Playstation TV - Launching Octover 14th 2014 - Details / Information / Reviews thread

    True - quick and dirty to assume that you might be pushing it with a 50" though, since the proper viewing distance is further. Especially since lower resolution pushes proper viewing distance even higher, no?

    I think the TV size is likely part of the scaling feeling so horrendous to you - I'll be curious to hear some 30-40" reviews of how the scaling is. I can't imagine too many people were thinking of using it to extend their systems onto a huge TV while having their primary systems on small TVs...

    Hearing the wife playing him, definitely the most amusing character dialogue by far. But that's not really a character power thing.

    It's not just "possible" as in super unlikely... it wasn't exactly uncommon to have partial runs in Alpha. Almost every single starter had split runs in the commons, so to be shocked about it happening in other parts of the runs is bizarre. Hell, look at the Arabian Nights runs that were...

    The Evil Within - Betheseda/Shinji Mikami

    The dogs in RE1 never scared me - even when I was like 15 or whatever at the time... terrible person to ask. I've always been so numb to jump scares. But from my perspective of being numb to it, the "quick WTF factor" of the jump scare early on was seemed similar in speed, worse in severity...

    AC4 is probably better, especially value-wise right now, but I'd definitely recommend Sleeping Dogs when it comes down in price. (It might even be worth full for a first player - it'll be my second time through, so I'm not paying full price though)

    The Evil Within - Betheseda/Shinji Mikami

    I'm pretty hard to stun with horror - and thusfar, it's thrown gore at me (immune, high level) and a jump scare starting in one Chapter 3. Good game so far though. I think the comparison to RE4 above is apt. (although it seems like he implies it's a weak title - when it's the best RE by a mile -...
