Hey you guys know how to view a FAQ or text file while playing a game? Without exiting the game. I think you can use the browser but maybe there's an easier way?

Flannels vs Fatties

Last night after reading Mr GOH!'s post about if he were a publisher on the steam thread, I got to thinking "Hey, what if the shared games were a stage/level and you'd have to unlock it to play the full game? Would publishers like that?" Then I realized, oh well they should just make the locked game available to everyone then, Like PS+. Then I thought would these things be easier to crack? I wanted to post this on the Steam thread but realized yeah it's probably a dumb idea. When I woke up this morning this shit was exactly what MS wanted to do. I can't believe this is happening!

Man I feel so disillusioned...

Read up on his crazy story if you haven't already. It was months or a year ago i think.

Hmmm i don't know... these guys were cool.

I'm using it. I use tapatalk 2 on my phone and tapatalk HD on the iPad. Those are the latest on iOS afaik, Edit: Well apparently 4 means Android 4.0 API so I bet Tapatalk 4 is the same as Tapatalk 2 on iOS. Different design though to be consistent with each OS. I have a problem with paragraphs though, it doesn't seem to recognize the spaces. So I have to edit it here a lot.

I think that's a cynical view. You can't back down at the first sign of trouble (pre E3). What they should have done at E3 was stick to their guns (which they did) and explain their system effectively (which they haven't, up to now). They still haven't made clear what they intended to do in the first place. They wanted to consumers to listen to them, which is fair, as they are introducing something brand new. But the message was not clear. All the positives we've heard about only came to light after E3. When no one was listening, and when everybody was convinced the system is not going to get any better. I was convinced the system was bad after E3. But when word of their sharing policies leaked out after E3, I was almost sold on the idea. I was willing to give it a chance. Now, all they've done is make their supporters angry. Those angry people still won't be convinced. As for the Kinect, an option to turn it off should be included. I would like it to come bundled. I want devs to think about how to use this thing properly, having been assured that everyone has one.

The way they should do this, is to just enable sharing per game. None of that shared library with up to 10 friends. If you share the game to someone, you can't share it with someone else. They could choose to let you play it while the share is active, or not let you play it. I think not allowing you to play while someone else is using your copy is the way to do it, and it's fair. It's sharing, not receiving an extra copy. Based on the messages they found, it looks like it will be this way. It won't allow you to play, but you can forcibly kick them out. But but but!!! This implies some sort of online connection being required so that people can be kicked out.

Wait wait wait! Did we just lose digital game sharing? Fucking hell!

Awesome news! I really needed some good news from them after all these things said about Major Nelson not being a real major.

It didn't really sink in to me that this was a universal app, that's cool! I also like how you have control on refreshing iCloud saves. Sometimes if the game automatically does it, it doesn't work as well, like in infinity blade. Anywho, I'm going to finish recently bought games first, then I'll probably jump on this. I really like playing on the iPad. And after TWEWY, I'm not as averse to $20 iOS games. As long as they're done well.

Looks busy. I just hope PSN can handle loading web clips and other stuff pulled from the internet at a decent speed. The PSN store is so slow. The PC Store is faster, but still slow.

Yeah, down to 2. And you have to share your account, but no limit to who's playing who. However, the share is controlled by the friend, as he has to go in to his PS3 and stop the share. Otherwise, you're screwed out of your other PS3 allocation. My friends and I did that with DLCs though, especially on Rock Band songs, as we play together anyway. It was a very nice workaround. In any case, I was mainly kidding about Xbox One. It's very good news no matter who did it first.

Steam Game Sharing in the near future? http://www.vg247.com/2013/06/19/steam-game-sharing-feature-appears-in-client-code/ Thank you Xbox One? Hmmm...

EA should do it! Then they'd be heroes like Sony, and all of their past wrongdoings will be forgotten!

What? 3rd Birthday is awesome! (Disclaimer: This is the opinion of someone who has not played 1 and 2.But I think your complaint is explained in the story though... so...)

For the record, though, I think it looks great (I just made a joke above)! However, I also realize it's probably way impractical for the type of work it should do. Concern seems to be lack of expandable... shit. Graphics card? I don't know. Something along those lines. Oh, and storage too. Argument is there are a lot of thunderbolt 2 ports for those, but then it'd be the cylinder surrounded by a mess of wires. Would have been a lot better if those were internal expansions. You'd think transporting it would be easier since it's more portable, but then you also have to pack in all those wires and external expansions. Kind of a mess. Unless you don't actually need a lot of expansions. Then it'd probably be awesome. Tech blogs seem to agree it is a feat of engineering. I mean, it's twice as powerful as the old Mac Pro, but half the size. Who cares though. I just like pretty things!

Haswell ain't cheap! Macbook Airs neither! Oh, and they also showed us a Dalek, soda can computing!

Incredible!

Did you just play Alan Wake the whole day?

I tried to play Golden Axe, since it was sitting on my PS3, being a PS+ member before. Boy, this game is hard. Why is it hard? I remember playing something like Golden Axe on the Sega Genesis, and I think it WAS golden axe, but I don't remember it being this hard.

I just finished watching Season 3... I just want to say, that two of my favorite characters were the recipient of multiple arrows to the body. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. So, as of today, my new favorite character will be Tywin Lannister. Hah! Let's see you try to disappoint me now, cruel TV show!

I can't get enough of that Battle demo trailer! I even downloaded the 1080p video and played it on my TV. I held a controller. I want to play that game now! It looks like at 1 point Noctis and friends QTE'd that Behemoth, the fight where Noctis' huge friend took that huge sword and slammed it to the huge behemoth. I guess it's expected, it being an action-RPG and all... I'm trying to see if there are framerate drops. I could definitely notice some but I don't think it was that bad. I remember I think FFXIII had noticeable framerate issues. Hope they smooth things out a bit more.
