    Had it in my update had forgotten in the initial - really think waiting through Oct for seeing N5 hands on is a must at this point though.

    Ping shouldn't be a preferential issue if they set up the servers appropriately - remember with DS it was hosted not servers - so always one person would have a 0 ping while the other had some degree of ping - but with servers it should be relatively equal footing.

    I wasn't aware that FPS was the only thing that makes up a graphic base-line.... funny that I thought it included resolution, AA, texture quality, tesselation and a dozen other words Catalyst quotes (plus some others they don't).

    Nod, I know the theorycrafting that people expect - I'm just used to knowing absolutes early but now that my sister-in-law isn't with Google anymore I can't just batphone it, heh. (Not that she ever got us a discount on them though... grumble... of course technically Google only has owned...

    Once I got past the "not a FPS guy" thing 50-150 or maybe even 200 was a fun experience for the mostpart - I did enjoy most of it but the end bit became a slog, but then again I was going to knock it out quick and really wasn't mixing in any other games - so literally was like 6 hrs a day doing...

    Actually got one more to ask on too - Moto X? (Besides the color crap - although the wife is obsessing over that) The "light power usage" notification thing sounds damn cool. Also would feel nice to have an American made piece of tech in theory. And do they have a provider list/release date...

    The MP was OK, but I after going through the long long slog to Platinum it (seriously it's like... 250 MP missions or something) don't really care about seeing much more of it.

    So.... opinions on the current top of the line Androids from folks: Looking at Samsung Note 3, Samsung GS4, or LG G2 as possibles going from a Galaxy Nexus - I know all will be a huuuuuuge step up from the GNex but opinions of pros and cons to each?

    Nito is easy - Holy's so easy to get even if you don't want to "build a weapon" for it - the Short Sword by the Undead Dragon behind Swamptown (Astora's SS maybe forget the name) upgrades with Twinkling to something good enough to drop them quickly for good. At least as long as you're not...

    Messing with Ashiok in the MTGO beta he does seem very underestimated - he's definitely a little abstract to value from the opponents view I think is part of the issue with his power level - he looks easy to ignore but at the same time gets out of hand easily as well - even after using him I do...

    Xevy: You do understand the development cycle generally has titles done in a basically shippable state waiting on release date for 2-3 months generally these days where the engine and fundamentals are done, just QA and balance stuff is being worked on (Sometimes even longer than 2-3 months - see...

    Quality of the games themselves doesn't change the fact that you're comparing using Dasani or Deer Park for making Kool-Aid with. Difference between each is negligible to most people, the resulting Kool-Aid will be the same with both to most people, but some people will shop for the bargain...

    Except in your retarded argument the flavor isn't the console - the water we're using is. Consoles are a vehicle for the content they are not content in themselves and without content they are useless bricks. (Although the PS4 at least is a prettier brick)

    As stated - assuming we didn't have it paid off it's still $700/mo flexible a month. That's still enough assuming you save for ONE MONTH to swing such - a triviality for most people that can budget at all. (Hell, I paid off my last car in full on purchase new - was like 2 years of saving about...

    I think it's more people that need to understand how to budget. The wife and I try to budget everything into our non-investment income being basically "retired" due to disability stuff - and with our "massive" $28k per year we make between us because we're budgeted well - we've got $1700 of...

    FYI - For people debating waiting for PS4 versions of stuff or getting PS3 for the ~2 weeks between PS3 and PS4 launch of the titles - they've announced their "upgrade program" thing.

    Every time you connect with PS+ it updates your permission for it - so assuming 3 month PS+ it'll assume you've cancelled it when day 90 comes up if you don't connect for a bit. But say you've got 2 yrs prepaid like I do ATM - it doesn't need a connection until then.

    Because all territories are their own branch - same reason there's three different PSN stores etc. SCEE, SCEA and Sony Japan. (Not sure its initials) Probably something to do with corporate law for why they do the separate branches though.

    Non-bosswise, yea the Dragon Bow archers were incredibly frustrating, but that was mostly because they were really cheap not true difficulty.

    It's pretty much immaterial - we want a personality type that's common in the breed and I've found a few breeders that would let us spend a few days with it before leaving to make sure it's got an adequate personality - for most of them I could swing $600 if I just had them ship rather than...

    Seath was so easy - either version could work - although I'd tend to believe the roommate angle with the sword, that tail cut was a sonuvabitch to do. Hardest single item of the platinum IMO. (Screw anyone that says Priscilla's was tougher - hers was laughably easy!)

    Just a single title for the end of this month - not sure why they got on a different cycle - our October stuff is gonna be Oct 1 for when it starts unless I missed something. And they never announce US this early, we're lucky to get it a week early.

    Yea, in talks with a couple breeders ATM - none near me, looking like this is gonna be a $2k project because of flying around and everything (and making a trip of it to legitimize flying halfway across the country) - but doing similar ATM.
