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

    I might be waiting a long time this time around for 6 great games that aren't also available on PC. I play everything on PC if there's a PC option. Basically I'm going to be waiting on 1st party titles. I can't hardly think of any 3rd party companies that don't also do a PC version of large...

    That being said, I'm sure the vast majority of us are gaming on TVs more in the 40-55 inch range than anyone is on 70-80" TVs. So most of us aren't going to notice the difference at normal viewing distances(typical living/family room setup)

    I generally don't purchase a system until there are a half-dozen exclusive games worth purchasing. I think I ended up getting my 360 maybe a year after release, about the same on PS3 I think. I wonder if either new system will meet that criteria by the end of 2014 this time around

    Yeah, that's backwards as Sean said The window for seeing the difference from 720p to 900p on a 40" TV is like 6-12 inches difference in distance. The window on a 80" TV would be like 4-5 feet.

    There's like a 1-2 foot range where 720p and 900p actually might look different at all on a 55' TV. Better hope you're sitting at that exact spot. Basically it's a small enough range that leaning forward or leaning back in your chair might make the difference in being able to see it or not...

    Hah, that's huge, they better patch that shit quick. The difference from 900p to 1080p is larger than the difference from 720p to 900p. 900p is crap.(although I also feel that 1080p is crap in this day and age, I won't get into that argument/derail here)

    Don't call. No matter what store it is. When I worked for gamestop, if we had a hot new release that was in limited numbers, and we knew we would be running out at some point that day we just told people on the phone we were sold out, because 1) We weren't going to hold the item for someone...

    Had our 6-month checkup & shots/immunizations yesterday. Kid has been cranky for 2 weeks now off and on due to teething. Only 1 tooth is completely through, and we kinda figured that the bottom tooth next to that one was probably coming next, since the kid is still cranky. Well, the doctor...

    WalMart electronics departments are always staffed by some 80 year old blue-haired woman who probably can't even set the clock on her microwave. Never call WalMart. They make Best Buy employees look like Rhodes Scholars.

    Blame the launch game lineup. Terrible. While it may be worth waiting in line for the system, there isn't a single game available for PS4 that would be good enough to wait in line for, if the games happened to release at ANY other time than at the same time as the system. Bunch of ports and...

    Why in God's name would you stand in line if you pre-ordered? Thats the whole point of pre-ordering, they hold one for you so you don't have to stand in line. Show up 30 minutes after the door opens, and walk right in and right out with your system

    Seems reasonable. I know all of 5 people that preordered a PS4 online through Amazon, and 1 already has theirs as of this morning. I bet a lot of people have them already (not to mention all the contest winners from Taco Bell and such that were getting them early)

    Dunno, I always though the point of a pillow top was that it was just more comfortable/soft? They'll still sag if you leave them in 1 orientation forever without flipping/turning.

    True, I didn't figure in the fact that you can't naturally get pregnant every single day of the month, protection or not. Damn you, now it gets even more confusing!

    iPad is only really worth the extra cost if you are really entrenched in iTunes, with no desire to get away from iTunes for all of your music and video needs. If you don't give a rats ass about iTunes, then the Kindle Fire or even Nexus 7 would be a much better bang for your buck

    I also don't know the exact figure. 99% is a LOT different than 99.5%. One is 1 failure in 100, the other is 1 in 200. Big difference for what can be perceived by some as a small change.

    Bed

    If you get a pillow-top mattress, make sure it is 2-sided so you can flip it occasionally. 1-sided will wear out a lot quicker. Memory foam is great but it is expensive as hell, and sex on memory foam sucks(no bounce, have to work a lot harder)

    Look at it this way, even if it's 99% effective, if you bone every day odds are your woman will be pregnant within 3-4 months.
