Waldorf and Statler

My friend said he couldn't wait for Breaking Bad anymore and would start watching it asap. I would rather wait until 7 of the 8 episodes of this first half season are aired, catch up with all of them, then watch the mid season finale with my friends. Which should be near when classes start.

I think the thread should be called "Pages and pages of pointless discussion over the superiority of one tv show over the other when Arrested Development would like to have a word with you"

"The thing about quotes on the internet, is that you could credit anybody and people would believe you" - Peter Molyneux

I find myself in a weird situation here. I'm somewhat agreeing with Strangelove, to a lesser extent. And that scares me.

Boondocks and Korra are made by the same studio?

GIGA DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRUUUU AHBREAAAAAAAAAAAAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Well I'm not, it'd still be nice. Considering I don't have a high end computer.

You know what'd be nice? If the PC specs would be released. Aren't we like 2 months away from the release date?

Honestly. I would be ok with a bad guy from the spirit world.

Yeah I wouldn't say consoles are dead. Now if they had said "Do you know what you've done? You've proven open source consoles with F2P games are a possibility! thank you" I would have been all right. coo'

Ugh. Nick just ordered 26 more episodes after the second season. I'm sorry but unless this show turns a full 180 there's no possible way they can squeeze 2-4 13 episode seasons into it. I mean did the creators not expect that this show would get popular? Did they not expect Nick would throw cash at them to keep making what is arguably their most popular cartoon that brings in the most audiences since the 90's? More importantly, what the fuck is Korra supposed to do for all these seasons? Aang had to learn the different bendings, Korra already . Unless they pull something out of their ass and have like the Anti-vatar that can bend anti-fire, anti-air, and anti-earth what are they supposed to do? Another big nation war? Boring. Aliens invading and have them higgs-bend? Boring. Mutant benders with a half shell? Turtle power.

Not sure if it's been posted, or if people care, but I love these. Catchy ass beats.

Basically what this console has going on for it, is something that's no use for me. Later on when they become a major competitor, hell I might consider it. But it all runs down to "it's $99 that's cheap" This is great for others, I wish them all the best. And if great indi games come out for this and not Steam then hey, it's only 99 bucks to get. edit: also I'd like to argue this whole discussion should go in the General Gaming chat. Its own thread is more than adequate, but just because it quacks like a duck it doesn't mean it is duck. In this case, it's a manwhore in a duck costume.

I like to think so too. I mean we had the best generation of tv hands down. Only thing close is 80's kids.

These are the points I want to hear when I ask a question dealing with 'why'. I'm liking that. Either ways if I do get this, I'll be a late adopter. I like the fact they're opening consoles to indie developers since others consoles don't. But like I've stated before, as a consumer with a computer, which is where a big portion of the indie market I care about already is, I don't find the point to it. Many of the games that will be first released for it that I care about, chances are they'll be released for PC's as well. If the install base gets large enough, developers will start to focus on it and eventually might see this as the destination to release indie games. If this occurs, I'm all game. If it just ends up being another destination for indie games for people who can't play them in their computers, then that's not for me. If you had asked me about this console a month ago, I'd have liked the idea more for the same big reason as loads of people in the comments section. ROMS and Mojang. I couldn't run Minecraft in my whole machine if my life depended on it, and XBLA Minecraft is no fun with mods and customization. This would've been the next best cheapest thing.

@FDS: Adware may have been pushing it, but are you serious? Practically every major app game, even if it's casual, has an ad-riddled version that ends up draining your battery more and in some cases taking some of your info for its own purposes. Free angry birds is annoying when you get a big ad blocking the top/middle screen. Battery drain won't be a problem, but the ads could. And... if we're really gonna get into how many phones can connect to an HDMI port considering they charge via micro HDMI. You could get an adapter, hell or another phone They're pretty cheap nowadays too. Get a proper ROM that can run via the android's HDMI, connect a ps3 controller via Bluetooth.... why would I go through all this trouble with my phone? I personally wouldn't since my laptop can already run the games this thing wants to run. But the same people that can hack this thing into doing all this crazy stuff, could already do this with say the Nexus tablet, plus the added comfort of being able to use it for other things on the god for $200 which is still relatively cheap even if this IS half the price. Didn't Steam just officially announce Greenlight, which would make it even easier for indie titles to come to it by having the community interact? My views on F2P are narrow? Instead of just making this whole assumption on what I said and saying I'm narrowminded, I'm just going with one of the assumptions the lead developer made herself. Instead of using outrageously hilarious examples of succesful F2P games to put me in my spot as the sitcom crowd goes "OOOOOOOOOOOOH", why don't we move on to another point? My computer didn't cost $99 with a controller, but by golly gee I never claimed it did. Looking back at my original question, I DO believe... wait let me check my math on that, see I too can make silly little quips in my argument to make me look like a jackass, that yes I originally asked why a person with a computer that has a more powerful graphics card than an nVidia tegra chip should bother? And fuck me because I'm arguing with creativity? Excuse me but I'm asking questions that as a consumer I have a right to ask. I don't shit gold like a Lannister, I need to know why I need to buy something over something else. And out of every person in this forum, you have the LE-HE-HE-HE-EAAAAAAAAAAST right to call someone out on being a devil's advocate when your entire reason of existence is to be negative about everything. I'm hoping that last part was sarcasm because hypocrisy doesn't really mix well negative nancy syndrome.

Well it IS a decent amount of power for 100. Plus it has decent RAM.

It has a Tegra chip, the same kind that's gonna be on the Nexus tablet. And I highly doubt all the tweaking in the world can make it run as good as current consoles. But graphics wasn't its selling point [even though for $99 it's damn good]. Free to play games. Sure that'd be nice. But like the head lady said, this'll most likely translate into trial demos that allow you to purchase the title after playing it. Or heaven forbid, what's already a popular trend on Android which is adware. Which at the end of the day can bring relatively dangerous consequences. Easy to use console. I may have skimmed this but it comes with the console and the controller. Does it bring something else I may have skipped, or does this tag along with the price point and the fact the controller itself costs about $30? The platform is basically a machine for you to play indie games. How many people are gonna take full advantage of its hackability? With the right stuff, can't I play ROMS in my computer with a 360 gamepad?

Good pick Eleven. I wish more people gave Boardwalk Empire a shot. Season 1 is decent, but season 2 is a giant step up and a must watch for any period dramas and mafia fans.

Dude come on I got a decent laptop to play steam games finally, and no Steam summer sale?

Somebody please explain to me why a consumer would buy a console that is basically a glorified Wii/PS2 with indie/android games. I could play those games in Steam in a much more powerful manner. Sure, you can argue there's no need to buy a console with a powerful enough PC, but there are so many exclusive titles and games being developed with consoles thought first that at the end of the day it is worth a console. ... ok maybe I'm being unfair as this console could also have this upside eventually if it sells well. But so far all they seem to be tooting is indie games being developed to work for it, and android apps. I could do those two things in two different and much more effective machines.

I don't want to live in a world where Hillary Duff's "don't say 'that's gay' ad" is the right thing to do. I mean, what else will I use to replace the word? You took it from "happy" to begin with, don't take it away from me.
