    NFL 2015-2016 Season Thread

    It's just as much a Chiefs offense problem as it is the defense they're facing. It just sputters and has problems getting going. This will be a much bigger issue if Maclin is out.

    NFL 2015-2016 Season Thread

    Chiefs should get pressure with 4, key for KC will be to sustain drives, they tend to sputter or take time to get rolling and don't put teams away. What happened to the Vikings I expected to happen to Kansas City after watching them get only 3 points off 4 turnovers. The turnovers only served...

    Lived in a bad neighborhood growing up and even once we moved to a nicer one I came home to found our house broken into... I was maybe 13 or 14 and it stayed with me for several years. Would have recurring dreams of walking around my house from a perspective about a foot taller than me, was...

    Rocket League - PS4/PC

    I dislike soccer, hockey (though I like 'superstar modes of pretty much all sports) and competitive online games (I'm a PvE/co-op gamer primarily). I love Rocket League.

    Rocket League - PS4/PC

    I can't play this on PS4 anymore after playing so much on PC. The difference in framerate and whatnot. Also lag has been particularly bad the last couple of weeks, had to restrict my servers to the US. Easily my most played and enjoyed game of 2015. Playing it at a small LAN in a couple...

    Even seated I'd think the emphasis put into that would pay dividends, might be why they weren't having calibration issues w/ the Vive too for example. What we've seen of the Vive is why I'm more than comfortable waiting until it's out before pulling the trigger on something. Hope to try them...

    It's surreal how well my daughter has transitioned to having the side of her crib taken off after climbing out. Wife just puts her down, has to tell her a couple times to lay down as she leaves the room... and that's it. Nap time will be interesting still I expect, but last weekend we put her...

    Assessment was tonight, felt like a bit of a cattle call w/ several families there and their kids being tested too but it was pretty well run.

    Yeah, you need to tag them at some point for kill credit. That was a problem I had when I did it (along w/ accidentally killing them), but I didn't know you could kill them with the buff on. Took 3 rounds of resetting to do it, and was annoying as hell. Text is fine, we're just having...

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

    I don't completely disagree, but think some of it is the product of being off-cycle. We'd have probably gone PS4 + Wii U if they released around the same time and my wife would have never bought us an Xbox One. Now that we've shifted more to the Xbox One (simply because it's always on and more...

    It's all the same stuff as last gen, just the same players in different positions. Business as usual. Industry is doing well, I'll take it, though I wish Nintendo was more competitive.

    HTC said the Vive was expected to be priced a little higher than the rest didn't they? With this context there's probably little reason to expect the PSVR to be at 499+ too, w/ it being a helmet and PU.

    Heh, showing that off will probably get a lot of people to doubt jumping on the Rift. Not that they'll have any problem selling out whatever they're allocating for pre-orders, but serves as a reminder of how new and evolving this technology segment is. Front facing camera makes a lot of sense...

    I like the idea of what Sony is doing w/ outputing a signal to the TV and opening up the idea of others in the room interacting w/ the game being played by the person using VR. Just wondering how much that will even be used, and if they can make the device more than just a PS4 accessory and...

    Paying PMI up front is an interesting idea I hadn't considered. Our initial thought was we're going to pay ~5% down and then recast the loan once we sell the house (should get $40k+ from that sale). It's already been suggested by our mortgage peeps that they might not recommend that and that...

    Franchise tag number for QBs last year was $18.5m. Whatever that figure will be will become next year will be the starting point in negotiations for Cousins and Osweiler. They won't make that per year because it'll be helped out by bonuses and stuff, but they're going to clean up, that's for sure.
