Mister Jack

So now that remote play is confirmed for two consoles, I'm wondering which one people prefer. What's better to you? On one hand we have the Wii U, where the cost is built right into the console but if the controller breaks you have to pay 150 dollars to replace it if you want to keep playing Wii U games. On the other hand we have the PS4, where you have to pay 250 dollars for a separate handheld but it has a better touch screen and if it breaks you can still play PS4 games without it just fine.

This is pretty much exactly what I wanted. Sony would have to announce something truly nasty at e3 for me to not buy a ps4 now.

Is it me or has Michael turned into a huge selfish jerk compared to the first three seasons?

Look, I'm not saying that women couldn't use better representation in the gaming world, but it gets a little harder to swallow some of these arguments when she uses the word "misogynistic" like this.

Finished season 4 just now. I hope they were planning additional seasons because this season ended with way more loose threads than season 3 did.

If you do that then be prepared for this:

I guess it will depend on what Sony has to show at E3. I'm actually optimistic about their event, though.

It's potentially one of those chicken or egg scenarios. People buy the console that has better games, but people make games for the console people buy. In theory, could publishers not gravitate toward the Xbox in its early days in order push people toward buying it, despite its many, MANY problems? I guess what I'm saying is I'm not sure how strong the average gamer's willpower is.

They DID make that joke, I'm pretty sure.

I'm wondering what people's opinions are about something: who has the worse mother? The Bluth kids or Sterling Archer? Both played by Jessica Walter, obviously.

To play devil's advocate for a moment, if Sony has no DRM and Microsoft does, what assurance do we have that publishers won't flock to the Xbox instead?

12 episodes in now. Trying not to watch the entire thing in a single marathon because I don't want it to be over that fast. It definitely gets better in the second half of the season, after all the plotlines are set up and start to make sense.

I haven't finished the series yet but so far it really seems to be leading up to that.

It is a bit of a slow start but it gets back into the swing of things around the Tobias episode.

So who's watching Arrested Development on netflix? Any thoughts?

Yeah but what I'm getting at is if Microsoft is aware of every individual game being traded in, does Gamestop itself even have to give you credit that can be used on something besides more Xbox games or is Microsoft taking over that part too.

About this used games info... If trading in an xbox game is linked to your account via the retailer, will they even give you store credit to use for games on other systems or do you just get a bunch of shitty Microsoft points in your live account?

My government acquaintance tells me that they're already setting up training for the FBI to pull audio records from the always on kinect.
