  1. Who the hell doesn't like Alan Moore's writing??

     

    Anyways, I watched the doc on Albert Fish. Oldest person ever to be executed, but damn was that dude fucked up. There are obvious reasons why, and in a way I felt sorry for him, but he is still one sadistic, fucked in the head, psychopath. If you are into serial killers and the like, it's worth the watch.

  2. Well I guess we know the next game Nick is going to love and say is great no matter how non-sensical the story is, or how bad the controls are, or how unplayable it is in general. Suda 51 is involved...Nick WILL LIKE IT!

     

    Still Shadows of the Damned was a fun game, hopefully this will be even better than that one.

  3. History, Hitler, Hurr is the best description that is apt. But that is aparently what people watch. That brainless idiot talking about the Bible Code, or how Aliens traveled millions of light years just to have ancient man worship them and build some temples. Stopped watching History channel regularly about two years ago, couldn't take it anymore. Now I just buy those CBS WWII docs they advertise all the time instead.

  4. Yeah that started with first you needed the disc to run the game, then DRM came along, but I remember the days of lending a disc to install it, then getting the disc back and both could play the game. Granted that was a long time ago.

     

    And I am not saying to switch to PC gaming, just wait a month before buying a new console. If everyone did that, they would revert back real quick. And PC gamers only swallowed so much. A lot of the more archaic DRM was removed because people refused to purchase the game with the DRM attached. Of course some still bought the games, but they tried to do some downright illegal type spying shit with PC DRM. Just like if BF3 was PC only, Origin would be gone by now.

     

    But this is still mostly just rumors. Just my old man rant against new shit.

  5. Why have backwards compatibility when you can just resell the old game? Why let people play a used game when they could just buy a new game??

     

    And you know all of us could change all of this very easily, but all the stupid kids (and a few people on here I bet) will still be more than willing to shell out that money for a new console, just to be cool. Is it cool to be buttfucked even HARDER by corporate america? Is that really that cool? Boycott these systems for even a MONTH and they will back pedal on this shit so quick it would be laughably funny. But sadly everyone is just gonna take another cock up the ass and buy the new consoles cause they are new! And play new games! Oh shit!! Games that prolly wont even work without a patch, and you'll have to pay extra money to unlock your characters full abilities and the real ending to the game...if you don't you're a fucking loser!

  6. What I took it as, was that was Logan's response to the video of the guy playing his new song, basically the dude from Blue's Clues just kinda nodding along to it...it is meant as sarcastic, it just was funny as shit to me.

  7. Well the dev's said they really wanted to push the evelope as far as generation leaps go this time, so I don't think a 2 or 3gb GPU would be completely out of the question. Honestly you could probably expect them to get two cheap ass low end 1GB gpu's, overclock them, or just write new drivers that use the GPU more efficiently, and then 8gb of some ddr3 is pretty cheap, especially if you're gonna be buying in bulk. Add a 6 core at 2-2.5ghz, throw in kinect, blu-ray and sell em brand new for $400. Especially if you don't have to worry about any of your money going to that used shit. That's so last gen.

     

    But since I am pretty much giving up new consoles I can dream about the computer I shall build around xmas 2013. /drool

    8-core 3ghz, quad-Crossfire 4gb Radoen 9000's, 24gb DDR5 Ram, and a fucking monitor that will do better than 1080p!!

  8. Well when you compare say 1.5GB cards in SLI vs. a 3GB card by itself, the 3gb card still has the same amount of heat and GPU's (in most cases) as two 1.5gb cards so that is pointless. To put it another way, right now most high end video cards are essentially two lower-end video cards put together as opposed to having just one badass card.

     

    If they can come up with a nice single say 3gb card with only one GPU instead of combining two gpu's into a single package that will be a good way to go. But for them to potentially have two seperate GPU's, plus a 6 core CPU, plus whatever RAM (I am guessing 8-12gb) plus all the other little parts along with a spinning blu-ray (tho I think install's will most likely by partly manditory aka what the ps3 does now for some games) the heat generated will be enormous. Enough to heat a small room type of enormous.

     

    And even though that last survey said 25% of 360's never went online, if people know they HAVE to be online to use it, the infrastructure is in place for a mandatory connection. As time goes on, more and more people will have, if not internet themselves, access to a connection. I don't think it is a good idea, but personally it really doesn't affect me as long as some sort of stipulation is put in place in case of short-term loss of internet connection.

     

    As for MS being at E3 this year, I would highly doubt it. I think it is just too soon, and that they will probably use some other event, or even just their own platform to demo the 720 or tell specs/do a tech demo or something. You would think they might just wait until next year's E3, but I think by then Sony will be ready to start unveiling it next console and they won't want to compete. Or maybe they will want to compete so it will be fresh in people's mind when it is released tentatively xmas 2013.

     

    Still, I think this may be the generation where I bow out of being a console owner and go strictly to computer only gaming.

  9. Multiple sources have confirmed this morning that the machine will have two GPUs. One said: “It’s like two PCs taped together.”

     

    That just made me laugh, considering the 360's record at the begining of the cycle. But if the rumors about the 720's GPU and CPU (it will be 6 core they wont make it quad-core and have 2 of the 4 cores dedicated) are true, it will truly be a beast of a machine. Dual 7000 series Radeons?? Not in SLI config either, each one it's own dedicated GPU, now that is fucking nice.

     

    I have high hopes for the machines and the games they will be able to play, I don't have high hopes about the way the industry is going. I don't mind an "always-on" internet connection, because my 360 and ps3 have been online since I got them. I just hope they have an offline mode in-case say my internet goes out, or my modem dies or something like that. Still waiting on the whole "Used Games" issue.

  10. Seeing that "What does American-English sound like to non-english speakers" got me wanting to find that short 3 sec clip in Super Radical Gag Family where the "Texan" guy speaks "english" and it is just a jarble of american sounding words, but is really just non-sensical jibberish. Couldn't find it so I just re-downloaded the series instead. Thanks!

  11. Me too, I have not played a single Silent Hill game ever, and I was waiting for this HD collection to make a jump into the series and see what it is all about. But since I still own a ps2 it looks like a better idea will be to just by the original ps2 versions of the games and play those.

     

    It is sad when a ps2 version arguably looks better than a new HD upgraded version. The fog alone makes me want to play the ps2 versions instead.

  12. I just wish I could find a clip of "Mange!! Mange!!!" When they feed the nail cakes to the naked children....ahh laughs a plenty!

    You guys own the Criterion Collection DVD, but I tracked down an original VHS before anyone even knew what Salo was! Well anyone I knew at least. And Yes I am proud of that fact! heh

     

    And while the comparison to two girls one cup is apt. At least you know Salo is fake.

  13. How would like your eggs? Boiled in virgin piss? Of course sir, coming right up!

     

    Spring is in the air, which means so is the potent smell of urine in Dongyang. As soon as the flowers start to bloom, food vendors in the Chinese city start collecting buckets of pee from school toilets so they can boil up pots of "virgin boy eggs." Residents say the delicacy provides a stream of health benefits, including better blood circulation, more energy and heatstroke prevention. Purists insist the urine should be from boys under the age of 10. The tradition leaves many Westerners squeamish. @zgoelman shudders, "I don't remember this from the 'It's a small world' ride." Maybe the urine-drinking gal from 'My Strange Addiction' is onto something after all.
  14. So either ME3 ending is the greatest thing ever to decieve millions of people or the first bit of DLC will start with

     

    "And then Shepard WOKE from his Dream/Hallucination"

     

     

    And I think I need to go back and replay ME3....see when the kid talks about the geth and quarians fighting, in my game the geth were destroyed so it made sense to me. Plus now that I have seen the whole Shepard breathing thing it makes INFINITELY more sense....ugg.
