    lol at the last few posts. Yay we found a seller who's less of a dick and actually countered our offer with something we could live with. We've countered back seeing if we could get them to pay a little more closing, but hopefully something we can get done over the next day or so. Thanks...

    One of the landing struts failed, is the cause of not landing. Otherwise they stuck it. Amazing. Instagram

    It's secondary to the primary mission, these landing attempts are just experiments and probably aren't reasons to scrub a launch.

    SpaceX tried landing on the drone ship 20 minutes ago in 13 foot seas. Was a hard landing and broke a landing strut so it was not successful. The rest of the mission nominal so far. Footage to come later, feed cut out as 1st stage approached the drone ship.

    NFL 2015-2016 Season Thread

    I think the Chiefs winning will be dependent on if the offense can avoid their typical sputter and consistently sustain drives rather than anything NE does. The defense has kept them in it to fix the offense nearly every game and a lack of mistakes otherwise keeps them out of a hole. Up 13...

    So of course our first offer was rejected and sounds like seller is a pain in the ass House comped for about ~285k, it's listed for 309. We offered 295k and seller pays closing, effective offer of like 284k. Had to balance it between insulting and 'hope it appraises for this much' His...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

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...
