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

    Yea, just kicking around waiting for the Zelda one or getting one sooner (maybe a 2DS even - the 3D is worthless to me and I don't give a shit about the folding since always travel with the wife - so got her monster purses to tuck it in, seriously bigger than my carryon luggage for her day to...

    Some I may - and never played any of the early Infamous' yet - they're on my "to play" backlog (although not owned yet) but not played them to date. [Frankly they looked like "Prototype" to me never playing them, and Prototype was... meh... to me] Hell, still never played about a dozen things...

    Saw the article before I think - if it's the one I think (it had an identical title, forget if it was from Forbes though) - it was about a woman in end-stage cancer that decided that she needed the services of two separate hospitals to treat her cancer - one locally for emergency stuff and...

    Kept going over it and over it and over it - and realized every single game I really care about through most of 2014 except The Order 1886 is going to be cross gen. Cancelled it for now, probably get one in the Spring with a second in the Summer or Fall for the wife. (Thief, DA:Inq, Watch Dogs...

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Not that I saw, it's pretty simple though - capture ships and send them to Kenways Fleet to add more ships - routes have to be cleared via the "Attack Fleet" or whatever button on the branch before places to reduce the difficulty (plus get rewards - you can skip doing it, but the risk vs. reward...

    Meh - gonna have to skip reading the book fully and just run with character creation parts at this rate and catch up on understanding the rules fully later at this rate - finding it sooo hard to read the PDF form and Amazon still not here... (And checked LGSs another ~50 miles out on the...

    Don't think any are underwater - not seen any that were yet... And you'll get a dig option when you get close to the X on the map. (O on PS3) The range on it is low and will not show if free running from what I can tell though.

    Really don't think the PS3 version I'm running right now looks as bad as that PS3 one - even the water detail seems off.... playing the game just a minute ago if you'd told me the PS4 image was from the PS3 I'd believe you... Something seems off with it. Still on the fence about cancelling...

    Also - did a test briefly earlier - figured out what my "echo" inspired stuttering was, I was apparently hearing my voice through her headset - I'll probably just figure out how to mute myself on hers and v.v. since we're right next to her in the next day or so and should be golden after that.

    And yet again, one of the handful of PSN titles I bought ends up being the big PS+ title... I swear they watch my buying habits and choose to do half the months for my purchases... DDA is a great game though.

    But it's just an estimator... I just put in I was earning $15/yr and it assumed I wasn't lying for example... It's missing quite a few layers that require security handshakes and the like. It's a nice thing for previewing things for those that want to bitch about their policy rates, but it's...

    I was just running with your own take on the burger analogy, shrug - perhaps it would've been better to just say it's a bad analogy rather than trying that method. But if we stick with just things with "Logins" that can have issues... How many people were actually able to play EQ1 on Mar 15...

    Five Guys when they opened their first spot around here was doing any burger all you can eat $1 a person - and ran out of supplies by something like 2pm EST and had to shut down for the day besides selling fries (at $0.50 a large to go with the cheap theme) - as a day one promo. So I don't...

    Those were two really bad hires in the end - and was over about a 18 month window between the two... I started vetting people a bit more and got the ownership to improve some methods of cart collection as a result - but was relatively close between the incidents. And on bribery: 99% of...

    The briber being more wrong has been well established for quite a while - as with most things (including this argument Blakk has been pushing) - it's the root of the problem.

    Open source 'copywrite' laws aren't dealt with legally 99% of the time. And I'd say 99.9% for HTML related stuff personally. Like for the bazillion Linux variants - many oopsed on various credits for OS but only ever heard of one suit out of hundreds of cases.
