This was one of the first games I brought once I got my voodoo 2 card in 99.   I wonder how well the graphics will hold up

Why yes I will buy it!! One of the scariest games I ever played

Don’t know how much longer I can follow this show…   Already the serial killer of the week is wearing thin and having multiple season of this, imo, won’t work.


Btw if this happens I am done with the show

Spoiler for Hiden:
Head FBI Woman Annie falls for Joe and starts sabotaging from the inside


I just see the spoiler happening

I'll be following Aliens: Colonial Marines, and will probably buy it if the reviews are good.

This.. cancelled my Amazon order last night and decided to wait on reviews

This game is being CRUSHED in reviews across all platforms.  Glad I cancelled my order

When you say "back up" - do you want complete rips (e.g. an ISO file of the entire disc), or convert the feature content into a digital file(s) for media center use or something similar?


Just the actual movie... Not really worried about additional features.

Received my Acer Iconia W700 i3 and Seagate Wireless Plus yesterday and I am very happy with my purchases.  I see the potential in Win8 and the Metro interface  and the storage of the Seagate negates any of the negatives of the storage on the tablet. 

Backed up a few episodes of Walking Dead onto the drive and I am good to go without needing a internet connection


My only issue is that the HD screen makes utilizing desktop a pain.  So I brought a stylus pen and I should receive it today

First I've been researching this and if the powers that be feel this a pirating topic please lock the thread and I will seek help somewhere else


My DVD & Blu Ray collection is becoming quite large and I want to start backing up some of my earlier purchases.   Anyone else do this and which software did you use?

Great review and I agree.  Although, the checkpoints in this game are a massive let down in my book.   Oh, I would have taken some points off for the "Chase the Torpedo" mission that ALWAYS appear in these game.  I hate those mission

I can't think of anything a PS4 could do to make me buy it. More streaming? Backwards compatibility? Micro-transactions? I mean.. games can't possible look any better. So what would be clincher?


Maybe it's me, but I don't think 360 and PS3 can run Watch Dogs 

Rather they might be able to with some serious frame rate issues, but I could be wrong

A Microsoft spokesman told The Verge on Tuesday that when the Surface Pro ships on Feb. 9, a large portion of the unit's flash storage will be allocated to Windows 8, pre-installed apps and a recovery partition, leaving users a meager 36 to 65 percent of space to work with.


http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/29/3929110/surface-pro-disk-space-windows-8


damn that's dumb.  at least some of it can be reclaimed but still....

Not that I think it's a good idea, but it's not that different from any of the recent ultrabook designs, or for that matter from netbooks.  Same thing for Macbook Air, etc as well.

Agree with Rittch here.  I'm still interested in a Win8 Tablet,so I've been researching the Acer W700 and the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2.  I think the knock on these 1st gen full Win8 tablets is that they are new and better refinement will come later down the line

Quote from: davidrobots on January 25, 2013, 02:04:36 AM

I've been playing a copy I'll be reviewing soon, and I've been using the controller... Is it just me, or is the mapping odd? I had to remap the analog sticks to fly the ship with any reasonable ability, and I can barely fly the strike suit at all, no matter how I map the analog sticks. Do I just suck, am I doing something wrong or are the controls weird?

The Strike Suit is too loose...  Your forced to use the auto-target to keep tracking..   If you looked at most of the Dev's videos they use a flight stick and throttle, so I am thinking that's the optimized way to play


Still having fun with this I give this 7 out of 10.  The music which I normally turn off has been surprising good

@WolfSamurai yeah, there was an issue with the autoamted system. We'll have this sorted today and let you know when the store's back up.

I think Kato redeemed his code as Steam had him as a user, so I know it worked.  Hopefully, they get it sorted out soon.


195  Non-Gaming / Political / Religious Nonsense / Re: Women in combat on: January 24, 2013, 11:14:21 AM
I'm sort of torn on this issue...  One of the worst thing to fuck up unit cohesion is throw women and sex into the mix, but faster advancement in the US military comes with frontline combat experience and women should have access


I don't know..  US Infantry training was pretty fucking brutal when I served and I just have a hard time seeing women dealing with that shit
196  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Re: Strike Suit Zero on: January 24, 2013, 10:03:32 AM
It's fun and brutal due to the checkpoints.   I started out utilizing the 360 controller and soon switched to the mouse/kb and I am finding the fighting and flying much better
