Apparently there is going to be a prequel series to GitS. Looks pretty good. I loved Stand Alone Complex, hopefully this will be just as good.


 
Info on it from: Kotaku

That is some bullshit right there. One company should not own half the media in the country. Seeing as comcast is a cable provider as well as content provider this screams monopoly to me.

I'm sorry Chris... I'm afraid I can't let you do that.

Nice. I'm always tempted to ditch my secondary, but It screws me over every time when I need to reload. Suppressors and FMJs are always my top attachments, I ditched optics completely, and the only time I ditch FMJ is when its the SMR because it has decent piercing power without it. Scar is my 3rd favorite rifle. I've gotten use to the FAL's new recoil, but when it comes down to it, the SMR with select fire is the best rifle in this game if you can deal with the 20 round mag. The SMR will beat any SMG close range on full-auto which it has become my weapon of choice. I had to prestige it one last time so I only have single fire currently. Here are some of my matches before I did so.
 


Sometimes I do so well I lose my care packages as they cycle through. I ended up changing my Score Streak to Hunter Killer - Care Package - AGR to prevent this. I've started getting 10 kill runs more frequently since finding my favorite map routes and class layouts. Since I've lost my SMR's select fire. When I start doing poorly in a match I resort to these classes:
 
SCAR-H I'm only a few double kills and blood thirsty medals away from gold camo

 
FAL full-auto

 

Shia does suck. He is the exact same person in every movie he is in. Always talking endlessly and never showing any real difference between any of his characters. I could watch a clip of him from real life or from a scene in a movie, unless the movie is portraying him in a different time frame (like indiana jones 1950s or whatever), I could never tell if it was just him talking or if he is acting a scene.
 

LMAO! I was thinking the same thing. When the first couple cars were coming I thought.. "omg, what did DX post!? This guy is about to die!"

I think going digital is a must. This will kill the need to worry about backwards compatibility. XBL and PS could replicate what Steam does so you keep your games on that network throughout the rest of the generations. The costs of packaging and producing discs would save millions in production costs. 
 
This could also pave way from something new. Cross console gaming. We saw that it could be done between PS3 and Steam when Portal 2 came out. It def could be done with other games. It would be a very limited amount of games that wouldn't have hardware conflicts between how the game is played. If MS Illumiroom gives xbox players a better advantage or the touch screen on PS4's controller does, then it wouldn't be worth making the game crossplatform. Maybe bring the console wars to a new level? Have just specific events, like a Team Xbox vs. Team PS weekend in COD. Instead of DLC timed exclusives being decided by corporate dollars, let it be decided by the gaming community. Which ever side wins the event gets the DLC early release.

You'll never see a free xbox live that allows players to play multilayer for free, and honestly rightfully so. The difference between playing online on PS3 and on Xbox 360 is night and day. I use to scoff at paying for an online service when I only had a PS3, but the service offered by XBL is vastly superior. You get what you pay for. XBL has paved the way for quality online gaming from its private chat/party chat system to its online store that offered free demo's for games years before PS Plus ever came out. Cheating is less prevalent, and those reported and caught are either banned for life, or their gamertag is branded as a cheater for the rest of their days.

While paying $10 for an online pass sounds like a good idea, for people that buy 20 games a year, its not very practical when you could pay $60 a year rather than $200. XBL has made a pretty effective tiered payment program where you can pay yearly, every 6 months, tri-monthly, or monthly. Paying monthly costs as much as netflix instant stream but you end up paying $30 more a year that way.
 
The online pass was created to recoup money off used game sales, which by all indications, seems to be coming to an end this generation. Both Sony and MS seem to be coming up with some way to prevent consoles from playing used games. I have no idea how this will work, but if my theories on how they will accomplish this are accurate, I do not like it. I personally don't buy used games anymore because its just a rip off. $5-10 off for a used copy isn't for me. I'm just wondering if it will hurt redbox's game rental abilities.

It was tripping me out because they drive on the opposite side of the road, so every time a car would come around the curve I thought he was about to get hit.

You mean "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse"
 
That is the best movie DC comics has made. I loved the ending.. just when you thought the movie was over you get the most epic fight ever.
 

Watch this commercial for another shadowy grey alien scene.
 

 
Creepy.

Half-Life sounds awesome. Portal meh.... It seems it would be pretty cheesy.
 
They both better start out like this on the big screen:

The government is suppose to work for the people, not kill them. It starts out small and only grows. The vagueness of what qualifies as a legal hit is disturbing and can only be used to broaden the governments power.
 
Things like this make a very strong argument why its NOT a good idea to have any gun bans.

 

Polygon is reporting that J. J. Abrams and Valve are beginning work on movie adaptions of the popular games Half-Life and Portal.
Both of these games have huge followings and with everything else on J.J. Abrams' plate (Star Trek, Star Wars), lets hope he does these games justice in the theater.

For the first time ever, the 1978 cult classic manga Space Pirate Captain Harlock is getting its own feature film adaptation. Written by Mobile Suit Gundam UC author Harutoshi Fukui and directed by Appleseed director Shinji Aramaki; Toei Animation made its biggest investment ever, throwing $30 million into the project. The story originally serialized by Leiji Matsumoto, has been updated to fit themes of modern society, and has been given a Hollywood style production. Harlock will release in Japan during the fall. No word on a North American release as of yet.

This is some of the best news I've heard regarding Star Wars movies. Side story movies makes sense. I would love to see some stand alone movies. Way better than watching the re-re-rereleased original trilogy in 3D (I'm glad that was canceled).
 
A Boba Fett movie would be awesome. I'd really like to see a Mara Jade and Talon Karrde smuggler movie.

In response to rampant rumors of a Yoda movie, Walt Disney Pictures CEO Bob Iger has confirmed that the studio is looking to create stand alone Star Wars films independent of the new trilogy that focus on specific characters from the overall Star Wars universe.

CNBC: Disney Plans Stand-Alone Star Wars films
UPDATED:
Info from Star Wars official website.
UPDATE 2:
Comingsoon.net is reporting that the first two stand-alone films will Focus on Boba Fett and Young Han Solo. The Boba Fett film will take place within the timeline of A New Hope and Empire Stirkes Back, while the Solo film will be based of the 1979 Brain Daley Novel 'Han Solo at Star's End' which takes place 2 years before A New Hope..

The only Michael Bay movies I can say that I really have ever liked was The Rock and The Island. He should sick to original content, and movies with The followed by a noun.

Hijacked is a horrible map with horrible spawns to start. You can spawn, walk 1/4th of the way across the map and get shot in the back from the enemy team spawning where you just spawned 40 seconds ago. Its a rusher's map. Try a danger close class with 2 bouncing bettys. when you spawn, toss both of them in high traffic areas in front of where you just spawned to where you know someone has to run that way to advance to the middle of the map. I've started doing that and getting 4-5 kills with it. It also gives me a good heads up when they start spawning behind me. Even if I don't get a kill I get tipped off when I'm notified that my equipment has been destroyed.

I think PC's bragging rights on 64 player battles on Battlefield has come to and end with this next generation. Some of those hard core PC players are flat out ignorant.

Oh cool, your game looks better on PC after you spent a couple grand more the entire lifespan of my console... cool story bro derp derp derp. I play games on PC, but I'm not bias towards either. Console gaming is more convenient, and with the media center they've become, they hold their own quite well to PC gaming. 

Sony draws first blood, but I expect a 1 up display by Miscrosoft. Hopefully Sony took the stick out of their ass from the PS2 era and learned from this generation. With Nintendo cowering in the corner with its "different market". This arms race between PS and Xbox can only get better for gamers. I expect heavy blows to be traded. Hopefully we will see this go the way of SNES vs. Genesis as far as an era of gaming.
