So, Comcast has internet packages with 6mb, 25mb, and 50mb for my area, but I have no clue what the uploads on those are. I don't have the means to switch over right now, but it might be worth doing at some point despite my immense dislike for them.
I'm in the Indianapolis area, paying 35 dollars a month for Blast+ which is 50 down and 10 up, this is my current speedtest. It works pretty well, upload is usually right around the 10, download never gets to 50 but it's good enough to get 4-5MBps on a steam download and I can stream at 3500 bitrate through OBS to twitch.

Title needs to be changed to Battlefield 4 crashes on everything because they rushed it out.
I was really hoping it would be smoother than the PC launch... Like someone said earlier "It really is like a PC" (Sorry can't remember who said it but I lol)

To the people who have put significant time into their consoles already, how are your controllers doing? Especially the thumb sticks, any credence to the flaking issues I've been seeing?
My controller is fine but my left thumb blistered after only an hour of Resogun. Would think it was a reaction to the rubber but who knows. The only other time I messed up my hand from gaming (not counting psuedo-carpal tunnel) was when I was like 12 and slamming an N64 joystick into my palm.

When did you start hating video games and fun?

Nintendo made a mistake not launching the WiiU with Super Mario.. guaranteed selling point.

Sean, Comcast isn't great - but their internet is pretty rock solid in terms of staying online with no drops and fairly consistent speeds. I'm getting 55Mbps Down and 14Mbps Up, so nothing mind-blowing, but fairly good (and this is wirelessly). I have whatever the basic internet is they provide in the area, no upgrades. Their customer service sucks and they nickel and dime you for everything, but haven't had any problems here.

I second just getting their internet though, don't get TV or phone.

Guess what I'll be streaming tonight?

So anyone know when the next shipment of PS4 will be?
I'd expect they'd be staggered at least two weeks between more than likely - and assuming the Gamestop guy wasn't lying to me earlier about 2 more corporate level shipments before Xmas - so next would be Black Friday and the other would be second week of December. (But note, he said corporate level - so that would take a day or two to get out from the warehouse in Grapevine, TX unless they've added more since twenty years ago assuming my estimate is remotely on point which is quite an assumption)

Everytime I fire up my PS4 I feel the need to put in 10 minutes of Resogun. Two hours later and I start to play Killzone
That's pretty much the point of my joke - it looks fun as hell, I'm considering getting one earlier than my January/February plans (If I find one available) because of how fun it looks on Twitch plays. Won't end up playing anything else on it for the short-term though, just a $400 Resogun box if I do. Heh.

My left thumb also blistered from a session of Resogun. I find my thumb kind of slides around on the stick more than I thought it would.

Mine did a lot the first day I had the console. I kept having to reposition my hand.

It does much better now. Maybe I've adjusted the way I hold it or something. Resogun horribly dries out my eyes though. It's a game where if you blink, you die. There's SO MUCH going on on the higher difficulty settings.

Could be worse, it could be yet another Sonic. However im in the same boat - everything nintendo just kind of makes me walk the other direction nowadays.

I keep telling Sean to move to Japan

Wow, and that's only faster than 88% of Japan.

Hey Chysamere, I'm headed back to Tokyo this August with my wife and daugher. Want to have a beer somewhere?
