He went by Barry before politics. Would you want the name "Barack" as a kid?

Sure unless I was ashamed of my Muslim Kenyanness...

Oh and I've discovered half a cup of ice cream is just the right amount.

I'll need to remind myself of that when this attempt at eating healthy and exercising crashes and burns like all of the other times and i go back to 3 scoops.

Care to share your diet details?

I think you're talking to KD but i'll answer.

Basically it's calorie counting via Myfitnesspal.com.  And I began exercising again.  I used to rely solely on running, but we bought bikes a month and a half ago and that has been the difference. Alternating biking with running has really helped me to stay consistent and avoid fatigue and avoid injury.

I'm losing on average 2.5 per week.  Goal is to get back down to my HS weight (180) by August.

But it's all calorie counting.  Calories in/calories out.

And I bet the percentage of people who actually play old games on new hardware is not worth the investment to Sony or MS.

What's the big deal with indie games?  Pretty much any indie game worth playing is also out on PC.  Don't most people here play PC games?

The only advantage I can think of for the PS4 is that it's Japanese and it might get some exclusive JRPGs that I must have (Persona 5?)  But then again, we don't know yet.  One of the best JRPGs recently was a fucking Wii exclusive.

I think the bigger issue for indies is on the MS platform is the certification process and the expense of it.  Also, if they have issues with the game and need to patch, i believe there's a big fee they have to pay to get it pushed and most can't afford it...

I think he was asking why people here are getting wound up about which console supports indie games since most indie games worth playing are on PC and we all have those.

Yeah...I was referring back to the original claim that indies are dumping xbox support...and gave a reason i've heard as to why...

Because people pay more attention to the prince than they do to the pauper?

Honestly, after posting something fanboi like this and then accusing everyone that disagrees with you or hated the Microsoft unveil as being fanboys...     

Anyway... the PS3 was hardly a "pauper"



It was a joke, Duncan. Read the thread.

You're bickering with TiLT, and it's getting uglier and uglier.  Whether or not you've pledged your allegiance to a particular console, you're already participating in the fanboy wars.  It's one of those things where the only winning move is not to play.


But I bicker with Tilt in almost every thread!

I'm going to start a game of imagining console fanboy war mentality occurring with other types of products.

"What the fuck are you thinking?!  A Big Mac for lunch?  What are you, a moron?  Whoppers are objectively superior."

"You're excited about an upcoming movie by Universal Pictures?!  What the fuck is wrong with you?  If you watch anything other than Paramount films you're a moron."

"I can't even look at you anymore.  You're looking forward to Thanksgiving?!  You realize only assholes look forward to Thanksgiving, right?  Christmas is awesome and all other holidays can suck it."

Not sure how saying 'don't judge either console yet' is fanboyism...

How about don't form an opinion until all the facts are, you know, on the table?

I have no opinion on either the PS4 or XBone at this time.

If a company does a presentation on a long awaited product and doesn't answer people's most important questions, those people have a right to form an opinion. It's called bad marketing and public relations and if it affects sales and/or public perception of the product it's squarely on the shoulders of the company in question.

I'm not arguing that Teg. I'm arguing that it's too soon to have formed an opinion on XB1 (and it's success or failure) based on what they've showed so far knowing that a bunch of it will likely change or that they haven't told the full story so far.

It's like we as an audience haven't learned a thing in our years in this hobby. This always happens.  Press release. People excoriate what was said and make rash judgments. Product releases....and everything's fine.

I don't think you quite understand the concept of press conferences, interviews and product previews.

Of course he does, its to not form opinions on things they tell us but instead hope they arent true and something different will appear instead. Which may of course happen if enough fuss is made. Instead we should all just shut up and let it happen  Roll Eyes

You guys (not all of you) are already damning the system that you know nothing about real world. Same thing happened to the wii.  The inverse happened to PS Home.

I'm asking for a modicum of common sense here and not for people to go off half cocked.  But it's your way, so have at it.

You mean that they're pomp and fluff and really never reveal anything concrete for anyone to make any decisions about? Especially the first press very tightly controlled conference about a brand new never before seen product...?

I sure do.

Perhaps you don't realize how badly you're caught up in the marketing spin.

I'll believe the PS4 and XB1 capabilities when they ship and I'll make a decision to buy or not, then.  Until then, both companies can make whatever changes they want. All this hand wringing is a pointless exercise.  

Though at least it is nice to know that every time I come to GT there's something new comment on.

Or just maybe MS have fucked up big time while PS4 seems to meet what people expected. Im going with that.

And you're going to make that call after one press conference 6 months before release? Go ahead, Carnac.

Hey, by all means, keep telling yourself that if it helps you avoid crying yourself to sleep at night.

 icon_biggrin Sorry, Tilt. I said that intentionally just to bust your (fanboy) chops.  icon_biggrin

I still maintain that it's far too soon to make a decision either way about either console.  I probably won't be buying either or if I do it won't be for several years so I'm in no hurry regardless.

I own both now, but use my 360 far more because that's the type of gamer I am (and the controller is inarguably far better).  Will be getting Last of Us though slywink.

There's very few ways to respond to that without coming off as cold or unfeeling.  So I'll ask you just this: do you believe we are governed by people who enjoy killing innocents?

I think the word enjoy is what throws off the question you're asking.

How about do you believe we are governed by people who care if we kill innocents?

I think the answer is yes. I've done some reading on the PITA it is to get the president to authorize a kill order on high value targets and the way these events were reported were that they took GREAT pains to avoid civ casualties.

That said, I also don't believe most politicians care two craps about the average american or his struggles.  So it's a delicate balancing act on their part.
