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

    Nah they were regular ones. I did make sure to look at that (even flipped it over for any "added content" type sticker in the wrong box).

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

    It looked to be an 8x8 pallet and probably 4 foot high (was about chest high to me at 5'2" [yea, I'm short]) - you can do the math on how many units that is, the "150ish" was just my feel - noteworthy thing was only 1 unit missing from an otherwise full pallet.

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

    Comparing ALMOST EVERY title (every one except Forza I think, right? And that has lots of tricks up it's sleeve that are hardly "true 1080p") to one mode of one title out of around two dozen or whatever the specific numbers on each side are (that's my guess it might be slightly less lopsided...

    PS - Some of the indie stuff isn't 1080p either I believe if you're looking for some "OMG PS4 SUX LOOK AT THIS" stuff. [Doki Doki I'm 99% sure isn't 1080p for example] PSS - Was at Costco this weekend, they had a pallet of XBoxOnes there - one sold out of the entire pallet at $479. (Yep, $20...

    Depends on what you call true 1080p - that definition varies by the person - most stuff does similar dynamic stuff occasionally (with upscaling) during loading and such for a second or two that people gladly call "true 1080p/720p/4k" whatever else. Does seem inaccurate to call it 1080p rather...

    From your own link - it's mixing a subpar frame with a 1080p frame to maintain a better framerate. It's odd but it seems to work, shrug.

    South Park Stick of Truth

    Besides even the "long games" like Skyrim if you're efficient can be done pretty quickly - outside of the trophies that involved grinding (like max level and the dragon that only spawns at max level) for Skyrim I had the main quest and all the primary sidequests and however many you needed of...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    There's quite a bit more to how Storybricks works than that - and if you read some of the talks they're quite aware most mobs will probably need to have their "heal hatred" with a lower modifier to be an enjoyable experience. PS - Since you've got a ponytail are you Smokejumper and you're...

    Hearthstone

    Out of curiosity - played someone named Trumpster in Arena earlier today - that what Trump uses in Arena or an impostor? 8-1 right now with this Arena, of course Trumpster was the only loss, heh.

    Thief (2014)

    Indeed Z - It was really open for the time, but compared to modern games it was at least as linear as Nuevo Thief. People have gotten spoiled by other open world games IMO.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Exactly why I was so amped with the Asian rumors - so much interesting culture to tie into and the diametric opposition between bushido and assassin/ninja stuff. Don't get me wrong, Egypt is interesting as a timeframe, but it's narrow and frankly a revisit for so much of what they've done so far.

    Bought - Gamefly went back to being cancelled after sitting with 2 empty slots for too long. Perfect world of pricing with foreknowledge I'd have probably waited till it hit $40 with how I've been enjoying it in doses. ($60 is better for binge games IMO) And no clue why Outlast is showing...

    Variable sound tiles? You mean how much sound varying by surface? That absolutely exists - shattered glass for example, water, etc. And stealth meter is still there, just individualized per character with the eyeball thing instead of a generalized thing. The maps aren't THAT linear - 2nd...

    Although I'm a "full time gamer" (mostly - busy week here being wife's birthday and the car accident causing some chaos in needing to be out a ton recently) - I've been pacing myself to a mission a night or so and it's been highly enjoyable pacing myself like that (while being rather OCD about...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Subway as a rule sucks, but tried it and it wasn't terrible - I'm a sucker for anything with Fritos in it (don't really like them by themselves though) however. Looks like Grimmlok and I are long lost cousins or something.

    Thief (2014)

    I'd say this is probably true, but if one cares about trophies it's a huge part of many - the "25 optional objectives" is pretty tough without getting the "all loot" objectives in each for example - and absolutely have to get all the collectibles per mission for a trophy. Not sure how the...

    He definitely doesn't do it too quickly - I smelled the roses quite a bit 100%ing single player AC4 and was done well in advance of him timeframewise (on my PS3 playthrough I had him by days - my PS4 one I didn't smell the roses since it was a second playthrough - note, not counting the MP stuff...

    South Park: The Stick of Truth Achievements - XboxAchievements.com Even achievement wise it doesn't look like it's going to be much more than a second playthrough to do even - so that would still be 60 hrs per if true.... does seem hard to believe though.

    I think the Asian rumors are a bit more likely, but holy shit that would be awesome as well... I'm not sure if I'd say Egypt > Japan but it would be close between the two for damn sure.

    Costs were projected to go up 4% every year. This year factoring in the multiple years this year's rise covers ended up in the 2-2.5% per year range, went up but slower than before.

    Recently there's not been much to support. Ron Paul was the source of most recent agreements I've had with Republican stuff. Not Rand FYI. And there's been plenty of things moderate Republicans have done I've given kudos for, McCain more than once for one. But I do have a soft spot for...
