    Sledgstone got a reaction from DeathscytheX in Half-Life and Portal movies! (J.J. Abrams)   
    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.

    Back in the day science in comics was kinda: ''make it up if it sounds like it could make sense''
     
    If it actually weighed that, it would probably fall to the centre of the planet if he ever put it down ;p

    Sledgstone reacted to DeathscytheX in Playstation 4 to cost $430!?   
    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.

    My 2 cents on the next gen of consoles
    I bet the next gen will really push for digital purchasing over there network, with current home BB being faster then ever, a new console launch could be the catalyst needed to shift the market, to make this the norm,
    With cloud becoming more reliable, more and more data canbe held on a server with lil to no lag
     
    Ps2 gave birth to DvD, Ps3 gave us BluRay, XB360 made multi player a more important factor in gaming
    All these features existed before the consoles, but the consoles have a very strong influence
     
     
    I hope next gen has backward compatibility
     
    The price seems decent however, would make sense as Bluray RnD would have been under ps3's overheads, extra ram, and processors are not that expensive compared to the development of new tech

    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.

    I think PS Home 2 would not only have to have a major graphics & avatar improvements but a way to use PS Home Avatars in other games.
     
    I still think its a major disappointment that my PS Home Avatar dressed as a Ghost Buster Can't appear driving in The Ambulance Shown in the new Twisted Metal on the PS3. Or even as an option in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. Had they done that there be more reason to buy (Sony Exclusive) games & be on PS Home.

    In the case that PS4 has PS Home 2 it ultimately confirms the fact that I shouldn't have spent thousands on PSN. However since Sony is trying to transfer all PS Home save data from the PS3s to PSN, PS Home 2 isn't planned anytime soon.
     
    In full honesty I bought my PS3 mainly as a Blu-Ray Player. However it eventually replaced my Wii which I had first at the time. About 2 years later I stopped watching Blu-Ray Movies because Sony created Video Unlimited. Then about half a year later I felt justified in selling the majority of games I owned once PS Plus started to get *free games.
     
    In the case however that Sony starts to charge for online like Microsoft I honestly welcome it. One of the major problems of home have been the trolls who refuse to pay for anything. They're just there for free rewards & if they find out anything cost (too much) money it is ultimately a scam to them. Or in the case of items such as a $15 Gold Suit "Class Warfare". A bogus claim since the PS3 costs hundreds more. Even when a company like Granzella gives a free option to play their Home Games rather than be thankful that they can play they still consider the paid for items a scam.
     
    On the other hand the One time fee access & what not I guess I could agree with Jim Sterling on that matter.

    Okay that rant is long enough but hopefully it summed up my thoughts.
     
    *Free as in when the games come available for purchase for free. Once you miss out on that you would have to buy them if you really want them. However they're not technically free since you need to stay subscribed to PS Plus to play them. Still $50 a year vs the hundreds all of these games would have cost together is a decent bargain.

    personally i would head to the coast preferable for a very large yacht or small  cruise ship, zombies cant swim and plenty of fish to eat, also sea air should increase decomposition of the walkers making them slower and go into a dessicated state sooner
     
    season 2 was a chore to watch, great drama, and suspense, but didnt feel like a zombie show
     
    Season 1 was truly awesome, it felt like the world had ended, seeing LA deserted and 1000's of walkers was crazy for a TV show
     
    s3, again feels more localised like s2, which makes set from a filming stand point, but way better then s2,

    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.

    They should legalize it already. That tax on it seems a bit excessive and would probably cause people to keep going to their dealers to avoid the tax. But with it being legalized people would still pay for it just for the convenience of being able to go to a store and pick it up when they want.
     
     
    I think there are a lot of people in congress that are completely ignorant about marijuana. Alcohol, tobacco and prescription narcotics are perfectly legal but marijuana isn't. I remember a co-worker that was so sick, she had an antibiotic that was so powerful one of the side effects listed was "Death". That is a legal medicinal drug, but marijuana isn't. wtf.

    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.
