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 I just see the spoiler happening

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

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

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

Depends on shift, but I've been on 5:30 a - 2p so
2 - 2:30 - commute home on train
2:30 - 4 - gaming, reading or catching up on TiVo
4 - 5 - Dinner prep and dinner
5 - 6 - Laptop time (work/gaming)
7 - 9 - unwinding and getting ready for bed

thanks for the code Soulchilde. sadly, the store page gets an error now: We were unable to find the requested file or resource.
guess they took the link down.
so, how is it so far?
Btw, Caine from their twitter feed Born Ready Games @BornReadyGames
@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.

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

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

Watched this last night and added it into my TiVo rotation. Had to make some adjustment as it bumps up against Being Human. I stuck with it due to Bacon as well. I like the premise, but I have a feeling Fox will cancel before it gains real traction
