    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    I would say that the "average" grunt style programmer would only be $60k a year. $90k sounds like a higher tier. Maybe more schooling. You also have to keep in mind other cost issues like building lease/mortgage, insurance, maintenance, equipment (like new computers for people). It's all...

    Suits

    I love the show in general, but this episode had the air of some General Hospital dream sequence. Everyone suddenly got what they wanted. That annoyed me. Pretty much the entire episode, answers were falling into peoples laps. They didn't struggle at all.

    [Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

    Yeah, he would be pretty cool. Especially that he finally knows his sword's name. Looking forward to that one.

    Xbone runs Win8. Thus the hate continues.

    Windows 8 is pretty much a case of SIDS. It sucks, but you still have a perfectly good baby in the other crib, so quit crying.

    [Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

    This week was actually enjoyable. I like that little ice kid. Nice to see that he's still a badass even without his bankai.

    The Hulk was Sam Jackson's second appearance as Nick Fury. Good times.

    I didn't care at all that she died last episode. I mean, I thought I would, but there was no care to be had.

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    16 hours to go and it's got 125k needed for the next stretch (not counting paypal). As far as being chibi art, it's a company full of Japanese developers. It's a fuckingJRPG.

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    It's definitely stepping up. 131.5k still needed for the next stretch, not counting the paypal donations. They might just hit it. 19 hours to go.

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    28 hours to go and exactly $149,994 to go until the next stretch. This is not counting the Paypal donations.

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

    I just wonder how a Vita TV will actually work. Will the PS4 have to work 2x as hard to render everything and just transfer the stream of that game to the 2nd user? Or is the game going to look bad if it's rendered on the Vita TV. That is unless Vita TV only allows you to play the same game...

    Mighty No. 9 - Megaman Spiritual Successor

    Your prayer has been answered (kinda). They've put even more stretch goals. 5.) $2,000,000 - Bonus: Boss Rush Mode. That's right -- we're adding a stretch goal here without pushing any of the other goals back! (Think of it more like a stretch reward.)After a lot of feedback (which we...

    Ronne, I had Win8 for a little while. I had grown accustom to Win7's "aero" menu. Win8 completely removed that. Everything was boxy and without any sort of transparency. As a result, the UI looked "old". Even when I did everything humanly possible to make it Win7-esque. I'm a PC guy...

    Breaking Bad

    Just remember that Walt gave a pretty solid confession (including his murders) when he was talking to Jesse. You think Hank wasn't recording that? We know Walt survives this encounter, but there's going to be a recording of that call somewhere. That likely leads to him leaving the area with...

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    One of the first upgrades you should really focus on are the reinforcements. They're a HUGE help to the game. As far as the first few levels, Artillery towers go a long way. Lower HP mobs swarm, and 1-2 artillery hits is enough to take them out. For armored guys like Trolls, mage towers...

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    You're right, I had it backwards. I do remember an old graphic and it being changed at one time. But I was a caster, so I didn't cherish SSoY's the way melee did.

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    I've finished every map in the game. Outside of constantly pausing, I'm not sure how you're stretching a match to an hour. The longest that I can think of is around 20 minutes. I'm waiting for Kingdom Rush: Frontiers to hit Android. It's currently out on iOS, so I'm jealous of that. Oh...

    My father uses comic sans. He thinks that it makes his emails feel more personal. He's stupid like that.

    That was a cool commercial, Still. Thanks for the link. I promise that I'll never get a chance to play my PS4 as connected as that, but I'm still looking forward to owning one. Should be fun.

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    Yeah. The $20, $25 & $35 rewards should NOT have 5,000 total as a restriction. For something as easy as digital downloads, they should have a lot more than only 5,000 of each choice available. My guess is they were hoping to sell out on the cheap one just to force late comers to buy the next...

    I remember back when that Short Sword of Morin icon was the same as the old SSoY. It actually looked that way when you held it also. Then they made it more sword-like and less boomerangie.

    Mighty No. 9 - Megaman Spiritual Successor

    Definitely slowing down. It's currently around $1,880,000 right now. Meaning there's $320,000 until the next stretch of $2.2 mil. 22 days left to go of this Kickstarter fund.

    I don't even think Win 7 has taken over XP, despite being a MUCH better OS.

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    Being that it's $210,000 away from the next stretch with only 57 hours to go, chances are it won't hit it. Time will tell, but doesn't seem likely. So no upgraded combat system.

    The front is still on an angle, but because he's taking a picture from higher up, it visually looks to be more boxy than it really is. For what it's worth, that looks to be a slightly decent headset. Better than I was expecting, at least.

    The guy actually is a talk show host. He and a co-host do this for shits and giggles. But still, what the fox say is HUGE. It's fucking catchy, like herpes.

    That's really the only reason people talk about the Machinist. He goes from being emaciated to super buff (Batman) back to back. Bale is crazy like that.

    Haha, loved how BAD at the game we really were back then. Yes, you could do a lot in a group, but when it came to raiding, we all started off so lost. Holy shit, a dragon! I'm going to lose my corpse forever! It was scary back then. My earliest Pick up Raid was doing fire giants. We saw...

    The xbox fanboy on the other board I frequent posted this today. I'll post it verbatim so all of you can enjoy it. This post makes it seem that Microsoft really pulled the wool over all of our eyes. "We told you the specs, but lol! They're much better!" Enjoy.
