    Pregnancy Thread

    Found out we're having a girl, due March 2014 (might have posted that earlier). Our son is just over 2 now, pretty happy with the age gap. Now to start the firearm collection, though my father in law says that I just need to let prospective boyfriends know I have a shotgun and a shovel is all.

    VERIZON30 gets you $90 off the $299 on-contract Note 3 price at Verizon's website. After their bullshit upgrade fee and local taxes though I'm right back up to $296 of course.

    Decided to pull the trigger this morning, turns out it's not out for VZW for 2 more days Would have been nice to know that before going by a Best Buy (no inventory, nothing in their systems that say when they'll get it) and a Verizon Store before finding that minor detail out.

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

    I don't care. Wife has put all of $10 down on a Day One Xbox One, we have time to make an informed decision on whether or not to buy the console when we have the actual information. I'm not interested in going round and round with the mob manufacturing hysteria, much less people intent on...

    Yes because nobody will ever read the EULA and countries will be completely kosher with MS collecting data as a mandatory part of the console, right? You guys are trying too hard. It's out in just over 6 weeks, more leaks and review consoles will be out shortly and we'll see exactly how this...

    I'm close to getting the Note 3 (have a Note 2.. just want... more POWER!), and for some reason the Nexus 5 specs don't do much to make me wait and get that instead. I didn't realize it used a different cable, looks like it's just the next version of that spec? MicroUSB 3.0? Droid Life posted...

    Windows 8

    Only really strange thing I've experienced with Windows 8 that wasn't very intuitive is IE no longer uses it's metro version when it isn't the default browser. Some would say that's a good thing, but on my tablet no so much.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I wish we could get minor features, animated or otherwise, based on some of the old crossovers, and some more recent ones. Age of Apocalypse would be a wicked series of animated features. X-cutioners song and X-tinctiona agenda were both fantastic. More recently, Age of X was awesome, but...

    SteamOS

    Like a modern era boot disk? I just don't see getting so much more performance from a title that warrants installing a separate OS just for that purpose. Maybe when I was in my teens/20s and wasn't able to upgrade my computer at regular intervals and was trying to eek out performance out of...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I think the news is the context. They have the right tools on the surface to scoop and analyze the dirt, and when heating it they found these results. They're results that they believe are indicative of the vast majority of the surface layer, not just 'well we landed on some' type of results...

    Not sure anyone's read about this, but we've officially found water on mars. 2% of the topsoil on Mars - they believe planet-wide thanks to it's windstorms - is made up of water, and that theoretically humans on Mars would just need to heat it up to extract water...

    Or in place of focus testing adopt a 'here's our idea, now get to hacking' mantra. Hopefully someone hacks it into a Dreamcast or DS4 form factor w/ touch screen. First thought of their example was what someone mentioned above, stop moving to talk doesn't make any sense in any game for the...

    Looks like something you'd have to have your hands on, but nothing I'd go out of my way to get/use. Look forward to hands-on impressions. For me these announcements were all downhill from the streaming part of the SteamOS reveal.

    Can only enter 1 code per day. It's like 1500 calories, I'm a fat ass not really watching my weight, but damn. I'd have to give away half that food. I'm also picky and would be one of those dickheads that orders it with just meat and cheese.

    The Steam Machines announcement feels like they weren't ready to even really announce this, but wanted to get some PR cycles in before the next gen consoles hit. Kinda underwhelming.

    SteamOS

    We are in agreement, I guess I just needed to specify I was referring to using this as a replacement for a gaming desktop. That's why I'm not really excited for anything beyond something simple to stream my PC to my living room or other supported device. An entire OS? No thanks beyond it...

    SteamOS

    I'm still not seeing it. Hundreds of great games are already running natively on SteamOS. Watch for announcements in the coming weeks about all the AAA titles coming natively to SteamOS in 2014. Access the full Steam catalog of nearly 3000 games and desktop software titles via in-home...

    Where has it said that, outside of streaming? If that's the case, then yeah my bad, but nothing I saw suggested otherwise.

    SteamOS

    The reason to know it is linux-based for most people is because only 185 games and 13 demos on Steam games work on it.

    SteamOS

    I just don't see anything to get excited about linux-wise, they've been pushing it for a while and less than 9% of games on Steam support it. That's 180 vs over 2000. I own almost 2x more games on Steam than are compatible for Linux, and a number that aren't on Steam too. Perhaps in a few...

    SteamOS

    right click on it, open it in a new tab, and/or increase font size in your browser to enlarge it. Only thing really exciting to me is partnering with NVidia for the streaming. Too much OMG LINUX for me. No announced smaller solution to handle purely streaming would be a disappointment...

    The news to me is the streaming, what I want now is a $99 (or less) HDMI dongle (or Roku-sized form factor device) letting me use a PS4 controller or other common devices (wireless/bluetooth) to play all compatible games on my big screen off of my windows box. If I ever have to rely on Linux...

    I think the download size on GTAV is closer to 17gb. It's the mandatory install on both consoles that is in the neighborhood of 8gb. Nothing we didn't know already... they'll be able to stream whichever titles they get new distribution agreements with, one of a number of reasons I'll be...
