  1. Oh yeah, the video is irritating as hell.
  2. I thought XMB looked nice, but was somewhat inconvenient to navigate. This looks more usable.
  3. @Vecha: Major Nelson is his gamertag, his real name is Larry Hryb (pronounced "hurb"). Nelson is not a real part of his name.
  4. What's the point of South Park being made to look like it's construction paper when it's actually CGI?
  5. Do you live outside the US? Saturday delivery is standard here.
  6. Man, after an experience like that I'd be using FedEx whenever possible.
  7. After reviewing the games announced thus far, I think I can get by without a new gfx card this year.

      to be fair, you're unlikely going to need anything more than a 660ti or a 680 unless you want to see more PhysX stuff and realistic hair. Best way to see is how many games are coming out that don't have bald protagonists.

      Well I like to run my games with AA and stuff, so they look better than the console versions, so I'd need something better. Also I don't want to do a half-step upgrade and then end up needing to do it again in 2-3 years.

  8. This is why we need replicators, then you could just download it from tpb if no one wanted to sell it to you.

    I think it looks like a coozie.
  10. Yeah, I got the camel's back thing, it was the chickens that confused me. I've heard the phrase before, but infrequently enough that your shortened version didn't trigger the right thing for me, I guess.
  11. Yeah, like I said originally we were planning to get her the treatment on Monday if she lived through the weekend, but by Monday she'd gotten so much worse that we knew she wasn't going to make it. We didn't want to get the treatment over the weekend because we would have had to leave her at the vet all weekend and he said there was a decent chance she wouldn't make it through the weekend even if we did leave her there, and we didn't want her to die alone at the vet's.
  12. I have no idea what this means.
  13. I've been playing Dragon Age 2 (on PC) and enjoying it so far. I'm still in Act I, haven't gotten far enough for the levels to get too horribly repetitive, though I can see the seeds of its beginning. Other than that aspect though and the lack of control over party members' armor it feels quite a lot like Origins in terms of play, which is a good thing IMO.
  14. We buried her under the bush she liked to climb in. It was like a bad movie, it started raining the very instant the vet injected her with the drug.
  15. I think multiplayer-heavy games, like CoD, should sell their SP campaigns as a standalone for like $20. I'm sure they'd gain more than enough sales to make up for the few $60 purchases they'd lose.

      I think the Uncharted model makes sense. Launch the whole thing at first, then as time goes on you split out the two products MP and SP and sell them separately. Or, sell SP and have free to play MP with limited maps and map DLC.

      I think it makes more sense (for a game like CoD) to sell the SP standalone than the MP. Most people who play it only care about the MP, so if that's available standalone they'll buy just that, but if it's not they'll buy the $60 package. Most people who care about the SP only though aren't going to pay $60 for it, so if you sell the SP alone for $20 you're not going to lose many $60 sales but will gain a bunch of SP-only sales.

      The reason I use CoD as an example is because those games NEVER drop in price.

  16. My takeaway from this discussion: worth a rental, but not paying to go see it at the theater.
  17. But he's a higher authority than the Xbox Support twitter feed, which is where the banning thing originally came from.
  18. It's Monday and she is still alive, but she's doing a lot worse and she seems like she's in pain, she doesn't even have the energy to lift her head anymore, so we've decided we're going to put her to sleep this afternoon. The vet can come do it at our house though, so at least she won't have to be at his office, she hates it there. *Edit* - I'm sure we'll get another cat in the next month or so, so when we do I promise to post lots of videos to make up for being so depressing.
  19. Major Nelson said during that interview on the last page that if your Live account is banned you will still retain access to purchased Xbone games.
  20. I think it's just the ninjas; they counter you so you have to counter, and then counter their counter.
  21. The counter changes only apply to the one enemy type though right, not all enemies?
  22. We took her back to the vet yesterday and he ran some more blood work and said her kidneys are failing. He gave her maybe a 25% chance of recovery. He said that we could leave him there over the weekend and they could put in an IV to try to rehydrate her to see if that would help, but that it's possible even if we did that she'd die over the weekend, so we decided to bring her home instead and do the best we can here. If she's still alive on Monday then my wife is going to take her in to get the IV fluids during the day, without having to leave her there so long.
  23. Always online DRM is fun.
  24. You know that guy's been playing too many video games when he calls a helicopter a "ship".
