    'No one gives a fuck' yet one system took 13 nations to match the others sales in one nation. That seems like people 'giving a fuck' to me... Plus all the XBOnes I saw sitting on the shelf today at Target...

    Thank god I've got investment income as a backup - living FI myself I get panicky that low (which happens occasionally). I can't imagine how panicked I'd be without the panic switch on a 3 day delay via the broker.... I hope you normally keep a slush account that's just tapped from the...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    Own it on PS3 and PC - if the gfx are different in the first section (never played past intro on PC) besides resolution, I'd missed it, but never side by sided them.

    Gotcha. I thought UPNP was a bit more universal though, don't PCs use it too? If so, I guess it just reroutes the ports or the router can handshake around it or some such?

    Does DLNA use UPNP indirectly or something? Those do sound like the right ports that I was having issues with this router... (The router does seem to choke on lots of network stuff from the PS3s which the old Netgear didn't)

    It was something silly with their router blocking ports or something it was a simple fix once I knew how. And I'll have yo check that MKV thing out.

    Really 360 is DLNA as well? Wonder why the FiOS router hated on the PS3 streaming but not 360 then... Weird .. And midpost Target.com stocked again on PS4 in the past min or so...

    I'd disagree - DLNA was very robust unless your router hated it and you couldn't fix the config.

    Plus if the camera less XBOne is a reality - why not wait a few months and save $100 on something you'll never really use?

    All insurance has cutoff points where its considered impractical financially to continue care. Except the old ones were motivated by profit, the new ones being added don't. (Note: Old ones are still there though) Welcome to the real world.

    Wouldn't an individual contractor be considered a small business for that subsidy on the employer side of the equation as well? Maybe not, I never dealt with 1099's at all - but I'm curious since they're "self-employed in an employer of one" which technically would fall under the small business...

    Apparently my alert thing told me (I was out at a board gaming evening and only checked the blurb briefly) that Gamestop has Xbox One bundles in stop for ~5 hrs or so now. $680 for Console, extra controller, Ryse and Dead Rising 3. Not discounted at all, but not gouged either if you're...

    Isn't UBI based out of France primarily though? I can imagine with their "dark interpretations" of things and French pride they'd put that one down far on the list until they're ready to sunset the series if so.

    I'll have to revisit watching that closer when I replay it for PS4 trophies (they don't share trophies from PS3/4) to see if I agree or not - was subtle enough I missed it being anything of real note on my PS3 playthrough. But I do expect an Asiatic one, just doubts about it tying in. (After...

    WTF - $1750 to get every single car? (Assuming $60 price on the game itself) On a paid to start title? That is goddam hilariously awful. Please don't do this shit to Driveclub Sony. I want to actually have a driving game I give a shit about.

    Persona 5 - Coming to...

    Yea, I realize the amount is different scales - but still 10 days for Dragon's Crown (checked Wiki) should translate to maybe 2 months tops of a wait I'd hope if they manage the same pace. Assuming no change in resources. And aren't the other studios within Atlus much larger than Vanillaware...

    I'd not be too sure of that, didn't Dragon's Crown only have like a 1 week wait between JPN and NA? Atlus might be stepping up their game on conversion time.

    Looking over plans in a national index for BC/BS from pre-ACA (2008 specifically their last national catalog I have on hand) - maternity coverage appears in every single plan in almost every single state. 2/3 of those it looks like it ties in with general OB/GYN requirements.

    Every company I've been with actually got more back in tax refund for providing insurance than they paid in for their portion of the policies - and the fine on top of losing the tax benefits would make it even more palatable to provide benefits. So yea, I don't see it happening. Maybe in...

    But you said no more playing shit on PS3 anymore (re: AC:L HD)! You were being a little hyperbolic weren't you? Because yea, that's alot to miss. [Sidenote: That Atelier a single game with 2 protagonists or two separate Ateliers on schedule?]

    You do realize that's not going from "Old Policies to No Coverage" like your statement was implying, right? That's saying dropping "Grandfathered Plans" - could be going to no coverage or going to the new Metallic Tier plan stuff. Which looks to have already happened to be frank, most...

    The secondary characters do rotate a bit too quickly - seems almost as if the plan was for it to span multiple games like AC2 and they condensed it.
