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

    My wife has consistently said things like this. And for the last couple years I have over and over had to say "Whereas it's technically possible there's no way the government would actually be doing this shit". Then consistently within a few months I have to live through the "I told you"...

    Man of Steel

    Went with the wife. Solid movie. I'd give it an 8/10. Wife puts it more around a 9/10. She puts this at third behind Avengers and IM1. Only things I didn't like really were the darker outfit (I know, everything has to be darker and grittier now.. yadda yadda yadda) They could have done...

    I'm in the same boat. Although I actually prefer my original Nostromo n52 (not the stupid Razer second edition..). With the n52, or a G13 I was able to AFK level in WOW in a couple areas where mobs were on a fixed movement pattern. So I could stand in one spot with a repeating macro.. easy...

    OK, since you're all here and such I'll roll out this question. Background : We have a Wii which has been gathering dust for years, an xbox 360 which has been pretty played off and on, DirectTV for Sat TV with a DVR, A BluRay player, and a Roku box for the following : Netflix Hulu Amazon...

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

    Own two Xbox 360s in my house, don't plan on ever letting an XBOne through the door. Might get a PS4, haven't decided yet. As with many around here, I game on my PC. My wife, likewise, uses hers more than either xbox.

    I'm looking forward to a few things. a) Warplots - Reminds me of Shadowbane, which was a game I liked because I like the idea of building a city and defending it. b) Paths - Nice to see a game which will tailor to the playstyles of people, specifically looking forward to both the explorer and...

    Now You See Me

    I can pretty much ditto this review. It's not a cinematic masterpiece, but it was enjoyable. And the ending was one neither my wife nor I guessed or saw coming. And of course, as usual, they pay Morgan Freeman to explain everything (to a certain degree).

    I've hit level 60, and gotten a tradeskill to 20, and at this point feel no more compulsion to log in.... looking at the massive slowdown in trade on the AH I would suspect I am not the only one in this condition.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I like the idea of timed events/encounters. Defeat boss X and get <loot> , defeat him in under so many minutes and get <loot>+<loot> (or <loot++), and so on... rewarding more efficient/effective teams with either more or better loot. Want better loot? Learn to play better.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I think the topic many are dancing around here is why you are in a guild. For some people it's the necessary means to the ends of conquering end game content. For some people it's just having a group around of people you get along with the group/game with and maybe even do some things you...

    SO it looks like player housing form Horizons, plus Guild towns/forts from Shadowbane. And an actual explorer class. I could get into this. When do we sausage surprise our way into beta?

    Neverwinter: PC

    I don't know about people saying the bosses get harder in the 30's. My wife and I have been playing and neither of us died before our early 50's. And the bosses really didn't seem difficult until the level 58-60 range.

    Neverwinter: PC

    Especially since armor and weapons are app specific to a SINGLE class. Not even any of the old "Pallys and warriors both use plate" nonsense. Seems like a massive oversight, then again... you could enter negative bids in the on line auction house until around 48 hours ago

    TO put it in simpler (or possibly more complex) terms (depending on your technical forte). Have every transaction (AH, trades, Zen Store, AD store, Zen/AD and AD/Zen) generate a syslog event, funnel them all to a big ass syslog repository, then slap Splunk on it and go to town with business and...

    Yeah, I can see possibly a day rollback. But even if they do they'll have to refund any zen purchases within that time. They can remove the AD which were in the exploiters possession, but I don't see how they'll undo "cat-a-palooza". Part of me would think the only way to level the playing...

    And it all comes back to the one true addage of programming in the internet age... "Always sanitize your inputs" I'm also wondering what they're going to do. I could see if they had records of all AH transactions they could remove some of the money and ban those who did it. But that didn't...

    Kinda let down in the season finale here. No resolution on what they're doing with Crowley. No resolution on Cas really. I was hoping to wrap up some of the tablet stuff, and they really didn't do that.

    Arrow

    Yeah, I loved this finale. Which is essentially around the opposite of how I felt about the Supernatural finale. Merlyn will end up alive because Diggle will leave the roof and Merlyn will call in a chopper evac after. That was a tidy way to wrap up the whole "will he turn evil like his did"...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Exactly how many viewers of this show do you think will be people who haven't seen the movies? I almost see this as a perpetual commercial for the movie franchise. If it works out well and can hold it's own on ratings I wouldn't be surprised to see a reboot of the Mission Impossible TV show.

    My bet is they cure Crowley, which let's her take over hell. Crowley at that point still has power, but is no longer a demon. Because she'll want him dead he ends up in a "no other choice" scenario working with the Winchesters to protect his own skin. Hell doesn't get closed because then what...
