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

    AMD released a promotional video to show off some of the early possibilities of the new PS4 & Xbone's CPU & GPU. Assuming this isn't pre-rendered, it looks good. Time will tell, I guess.

    Home Improvement

    Well, it was a toss up. Insurance covered 1 side due to it being a claim from Hurricane Sandy. So I just had to do 2 sides & the shed. I've lived in a tanish colored house my entire life. People always go with tan or beige, or other weak ass neutral colors. I was just tired of it and wanted...

    Need a baby-friendly suggestion for a quick vacation.

    We live in the Suburbs, north of Philadelphia (PA). I'm thinking somewhere in the 1500-1800 price range, if possible. My wife and I and our kid.

    We had some siding damage from Hurricane Sandy and *FINALLY* got new siding put on. Here's a before and after: So here's what our house looked like when we first moved in, 5 years ago. Real piece of shit. Here's what it looks like as of a week days ago. It looks a little different...

    Need a baby-friendly suggestion for a quick vacation.

    My wife and I are closing in on our 5th anniversary. We have a 17 month old daughter. We're debating taking a small trip to celebrate our anniversary. We're not looking to spend too much on this trip, though. Do any of you have a kid-friendly suggestion? I would appreciate it.

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    Our High School had a nursery. This is the suburbs of Philadelphia. and I graduated back in '99. I would estimate that 85% of my school was white. The remainder was black and hispanic. There were no white babies in the Nursery, though. Odd how that worked out.

    So they're kind of doing the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD thing with Fable? Good for them. I'm looking forward to KH 1.5

    Are you saying that Dom really caught Letty as she flew through the air over the bridge? He's like a super hero or something. Dom, more like Bruce, ya know? Bruce Wayne is Batman... tss tss.

    Can't wait. It'll be nice to finally pre-order a PS4 on Amazon. As of now, it won't allow you to.

    What type of patching? Game publishers check that you have the latest version of the game client when you first start a game. Even if it isn't an online game.. they correct bugs and such and have it patch the moment you load your game. As for the PS3 operating system, it does scheduled...

    Dan Harmon has been re-hired as the show runner for Season 5. Turns out NBC, much like most of the viewing audience, weren't fans of what the "new" show runners did for Season 4. It didn't have the same taste as Season's 1-3. Anyway, Just thought I would post this here for anyone that cares...

    I recently traded in my '07 Audi A4 for a '13 Mercedes C300 4matic. I didn't like that it didn't come manual, but the car drives VERY similar to my Audi (which was a stick). It'll even sit idle at a traffic light without lurching forward. I'll admit, driving home from the dealership I did...

    Brad, As someone that "likes" spicy food, what is it that you actually enjoy about it? I'm not a big fan of heat. I don't like any sort of discomfort when I'm eating. Sure, it's fun to say "god damn, that was hot!" after you eat something, but I don't like it... I just tolerate it. Hell...

    I like hodj's idea. It would be kind of like a "Monster Hunter" style MMO, where you can tame said monster and use it in an arena to battle other peoples monsters. That would be pretty sweet. Real Time for the actual capture, and turn-based for the Arena style fighting.

    We took our daughter on a 16 hour flight from Chicago to Japan when she was 8 months old. That was a brutal fight, in that it completely fucked her sleeping schedule up. We had requested a bassinet for our seat, but she refused to sleep in it. We had no choice but to take alternating shifts...

    Grills

    We have grill marks on everything now. But not just that... food doesn't dry out. Radiant heat doesn't suck out moisture the way fire heat does. The grates are awesome for that. We had brat's the other day and after taking a bite, we noticed that they weren't completely cooked. So I tossed...

    Well, we don't technically have an ipad. So it's not that we don't want our daughter to use one... we just don't own one.

    Grills

    I like grilling. I have a fairly cheap propane grill from Lowes (Perfect Flame) that has since been discontinued. Turns out that the steel burners would sometimes rust out and cause explosions and other shit. I found out about that, so the company that handled the lawsuit sent me out all new...

    I wish that were a problem in my house. She doesn't color with crayons... she eats them. She chews on fucking everything. Leaves from the deck? Paper that comes in the mail? It's all edible in her mind. That's another issue that I'm not sure how to break. She has a blanket that's been...

    [Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

    Seriously, what the fuck has been going on in the last 2 chapters of Bleach? Typically, the manga follows some sort of continuity... you can follow what's going on. These latest 2 chapters start off in the middle of a story and don't bother explaining how they got to that point. It's almost...

    That's another thing I want to avoid. I'm definitely addicted to just "the internet". I don't really look for anything specifically, but I read countless websites and twitters of some comedians that I like. I don't even really watch porn on it... it's just a matter of looking things up (like...

    The ambient sounds for this game were great. The heightened breathing... the one dude shouting "BETHER!" as he entered combat. Purely great.

    My neighbors best friend is a bliz dev working on this project. At least he was working on it. I wish he would share something, but he's tight lipped and pretends he has no idea what I'm talking about any time I bring up any titan related info.

    It wasn't "hella funny". I don't think you were outwardly laughing for 30+ seconds. It was amusing though. When he sang TLC's song, I smiled a bit. I'll absolutely see this when it comes out on Blu-Ray.

    Maybe MS is doing a huge bait and switch. They release info about 40 [bad] things related to their Xbox, but when the system finally comes out, it only has 20. "That's much better than we expected!" Then people will buy. "Sure it doesn't play used games, but it doesn't rape your wife the...

    Car Audio

    Ok, keep in mind that factory head units are usually very low in power. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, get speakers with a lower RMS wattage rating. That way they won't need to be amplified to reach their full potential. If you're looking at generic 50/75 watt ones, you're...

    I'm a fan of Polk Audio's mid range and tweeters. They make some quality components. I don't really know how into this you plan on going... just a generic speaker swap (quick and easy), or do you plan on swapping out the Head Unit as well? Maybe throw in an amp or two? A lot of cars these...

    I just watched all 50 minutes of your video link. Thanks for that. I had only ever played KH1 and 2 and bits of Chain of Memories (in the PS2 remake). I don't own a portable, so those game evaded me. It was nice seeing the story laid out like that.
