Just caught up on the first three episodes and so far impressed.

Same. They took way too long of a break that any little interest I did have in the show was lost during the months it was off.

Tommy has no idea what his dad is, so see him still playing the good guy card.

I was thinking of picking one up, until I read it didn't have online multiplayer. (To start, anyway.)

Its completely unacceptable for a console to launch in 2013 without multiplayer, IMO.

I cancelled my Gold subscription years ago and moved to PS3 for all my online gaming.
The way I looked at it was I could spend $60 on Call of Duty for the 360, or the same price for the PS3 version. The difference was, one was free to play while one had a monthly fee.

Still enjoy my 360 for singleplayer gaming though. Played the hell out of the GoW bots.

Just that while PS3, Vita, Wii, Wii U, PC, and even iOS and Android are all free to play online, Xbox is the only one charging for it.
On principle I just cant bring myself to pay for something that is free everywhere else.

I don't 'like' abortion either, but it's not my place as a man to tell a woman what she can or can't do with her own body, especially if I'm in a position of power to force those views on others.
That's the issue I have with laws like this.

Rooker has been in some good movies going way back. Anyone remember Mississippi Burning?

Lot of good characters getting killed off lately. Jeremey, Crixus, Danny, now this.

Hopefully the Governor gets what's coming to him in the finale.

The one that looks like this:



 

When Gabrielle Giffords' husband tore his daughter's bulldog from a baby sea lion, the damage was already done.

As the dead seal drifted out to sea, blood oozed from its neck where the bulldog had chomped down and refused to let go about 1:40 p.m. Saturday.

Former Arizona Congresswoman Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly, a retired astronaut, were on vacation in Laguna Beach, Calif., and his 18-year-old daughter, who took her 65-pound dog, on a leash, for a walk along Goff Cove Beach near the Montage Laguna Beach resort.

"If you have a dog of that stature and that power, they should be accompanied by someone who can handle a dog that is as powerful as an American bulldog," said Nathan, a fellow beachgoer who recorded the incident with his cellphone.

Animals are having a rough time this week it seems. I'm with the others saying his daughter shouldn't have been walking a dog she was unable to control. What if the dog attacked a child instead of an animal?

Gov. Jack Dalrymple of North Dakota approved the nation’s toughest abortion restrictions on Tuesday, signing into law a measure that would ban most abortions and inviting a legal showdown over just how much states can limit access to the procedure.

Mr. Dalrymple, a Republican, signed into law three bills passed by the Republican-controlled State Legislature. The most far-reaching law forbids abortion once a fetal heartbeat is “detectable,” which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. Fetal heartbeats are detectable at that stage of pregnancy using a transvaginal ultrasound.

Most legal scholars have said the law would violate the Supreme Court’s finding in Roe v. Wade that abortions were permitted until the fetus was viable outside the womb, generally around 24 weeks into pregnancy. Even some leaders of the anti-abortion movement nationally have predicted that laws banning abortion so early in pregnancy are virtually certain to be declared unconstitutional by federal courts.

“Although the likelihood of this measure surviving a court challenge remains in question, this bill is nevertheless a legitimate attempt by a state legislature to discover the boundaries of Roe v. Wade,” Mr. Dalrymple said in a statement.

Have to love it when government steps in telling you what you can or can't do with your own body.

Also holding off until we learn more about the next Xbox.
If the next Xbox confirms backwards compatibility with 360, it'll likely be a launch purchase for me. (Outside of short supply as I'm way too old to be camping out somewhere for a gaming system!) 
Will probably pick up more multiplatform games on the 360 over PS3 as well as it's a little easier to justify $60+ on a game when they still work on the next generation.

The PS4 even though still disappointed with the lack of BC, am slowly warming up to it. I'll probably end up buying one as soon as it sees it's first price drop. The PS3 still has a lot of life in it, IMO.
Even to this day people still play MAG (although apparently I'm the only one on GT who does), one of the best games of all-time if you ask me. How many other FPS's, console or otherwise, support up to 256 players in a real-time battlefield? 

Being the leader of the free world is an expensive proposition. And the costs don't stop once you leave the White House.

The government spent nearly $3.7 million on former presidents in 2012, according to an analysis just released by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. That covers a pension, compensation and benefits for office staff, and the government also picks up the tab for other costs like travel, office space and postage.

The costliest former president? George W. Bush, who clocked in last year at just over $1.3 million.

The $3.7 million taxpayers shelled out in 2012 is about $200,000 less than in 2011, and the sum in 2010 was even higher. It's a drop in the bucket compared with the trillions the federal government spends each year.

Still, with ex-presidents able to command eye-popping sums for books, speaking engagements and the like in their post-White House years, the report raises questions about whether the U.S. should provide such generous subsidies at a time when spending cuts and the deficit are forcing lawmakers and federal agencies to seek ways to cut back.

[Recall organizers say Arpaio should be recalled, in part, because his office failed to adequately investigate more than 400 sex-crimes cases.]

PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he's afraid he could lose his post if his critics succeed in forcing a recall election against him.

The sheriff said in a fundraising email Sunday that he's afraid he could lose if he doesn't fight back.

Recall organizers say they're facing fundraising difficulties and relying more on volunteers rather than paid professionals to gather petition signatures.

They say they've gathered nearly 150,000 of the 335,000 signatures required by May 30 to prompt the election.

Arpaio campaign manager Chad Willems says he believes recall organizers are seeking new funding sources.

Recall organizers say Arpaio should be recalled, in part, because his office failed to adequately investigate more than 400 sex-crimes cases.

Arpaio supporters say the sheriff won his sixth term fair and square.

Right..

Last seen being picked up by The Grue.

The owner of a Tucson gun store where former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' husband purchased a semi-automatic rifle has canceled the transaction.

Doug MacKinlay said Monday that a full refund was sent to Mark Kelly via express mail because the former astronaut didn't plan to keep the AR-15-style rifle for his personal use.

Kelly bought the gun March 5 at Diamondback Police Supply, saying he wanted to show how easy it is to buy an assault weapon. He planned to turn it in to Tucson police.

MacKinlay tells The Arizona Daily Star (http://bit.ly/X6mRe1 ) that he terminated the transaction Thursday before Kelly could take possession of the firearm.

Giffords was among 13 people wounded in a January 2011 shooting outside a Tucson supermarket that left six others dead.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/25/tucson-gun-store-owner-cancels-ar-15-purchase-by-gabrielle-giffords-husband/

What does it matter if he's buying the gun for political reasons? So the gun store owner loses out on a sale and the guy goes next door to buy the same thing. In the end he stops nothing, other than losing out on a few dollars.

Another Army of Two?

Hadn't even heard of it before this thread. Liked the second one, especially the multiplayer.. so may have to check it out when it sees it's inevitable price drop in the not too distant future.

My Roku and Leaf will be here this week.
I already have a Amazon Prime, MLB, and NHL membership. Honestly nothing on Hulu Plus excites me, so I might just sub to Netflix.

Plus there is quite a few stations on Roku I'm looking forward to.

I'll just have to wait until the last episode of The Walking Dead is done before I cut cable.

Sent from me cool phone

It all depends on what you watch. Netflix is good and has a lot of movies, but it doesn't have any of the current TV shows like Hulu does.
Hulu Plus seems to be geared more towards those of us who want TV shows (current and old - there are countless series to choose from) while Netflix seems to be more focused on movies and picking up a TV show, if at all, a season or two later.

I just recently dropped my Netflix subscription for Hulu Plus and really think it's the better of the two if on a tight budget.

Only in Obama’s America could an unemployed, 25-year old, illegal immigrant use his video game log to prove residency and earn “deferred action” to stay in the country.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported the story of Jose Muñoz who hasn’t worked since graduating from high school in 2005, but sure logged a heck of a lot of hours playing video games on his Xbox Live.

Muñoz said he wanted to go to college and work, but without citizenship, it was impossible.

Enter President Obama’s amnesty plan, “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival for those in situations just like Muñoz’s – people who came here before they were 16 and were under 31 on June 15, 2012,” the paper said.

“For those qualified, deferred action allows them to remain in the country for two years and work and go to school without fear of deportation,” the article explained. “It’s renewable after two years.”

Muñoz quickly retained immigration attorney Davorin Odrcic to help apply.

Muñoz met all the requirements, “he had no criminal record, graduated from high school with honors and lived here since the age of 1,” his attorney said. But without a job, Muñoz couldn’t prove continued residency in the U.S. for the past five years.

So, lawyer Odrcic, a gamer himself, decided to use Muñoz’s Xbox Live account to prove Muñoz has been in the U.S. for the past five years.

Well there's one way to justify paying for Xbox Live..

This is one of the reasons I don't mind not reading the books [in general] - you don't have such a high expectation for the movies.

Repainting your house with an unorthodox color scheme can sometimes make your neighbors a little touchy. Particularly, this house — and particularly, these neighbors. Aaron Jackson, who runs the nonprofit group Planting Peace, has painted his newly bought house in Topeka, Kansas with bright rainbow colors — the same as the Gay Pride Flag. But what makes this house special is that it sits right across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church.

Fred Phelps must be turning in his grave.

We had a pet pig in Georgia. They are definitely as smart as a dog. Knew his name, always wanted to come inside the house, would fall over when you scratched his belly.

Didn't stop me from eating bacon. Even he ate a piece by mistake that was dropped on the floor.. pigs really will eat anything!

I watched the video, and while my opinion is still the same, the guy who shot the horse seems like he got a kick out of doing it. The way he brought the horse out and even petted it before killing it, really makes me think there's something wrong with him.

[Spoiler]

Does Daryl..

Spoiler for Hiden:

Even know it was the Governor that killed his brother? Will he find out?

It's not finished until The Hulk says so!

Is a Hulk Hogan and Fallon Fox fight going to happen?

In comments to TMZ on Saturday, the Hulkster said he would be up for battling the transgender MMA star. In fact, Hogan said he would “crush” her.

“I’ll whip her. I mean, I’ll whip him,” Hogan said when asked by a photographer at LAX if he would welcome Fox into a wrestling ring.

Hogan’s long-time manager “Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart was with the Hulkster and added, “If anybody can make money, let’s use them.”

While it doesn’t sound like Hogan has the idea for an actual fight, but instead would approach it from the scripted pro wrestling angle, it could certainly be a plausible angle for Hogan’s Impact Wrestling brand to pursue.

Fallon Fox came under fire after a quick knockout victory against opponent Ericka Newsome earlier this month. Up until that point, Fox had hidden the fact she was born as a man and lied on her application with Florida and California to get approval.

Who would have guessed Lucy Lawless would go topless at age 40+.. and still look as good as she did!

The introduction of Julius Caesar was a good thing, IMO. I'm hoping that somehow Starz realizes just how many fans Spartacus had and might do some sort of "Rise and Fall of Caesar" series with the same blood, gore, and sex that we've all come to love Spartacus for.

Any word on if there will be PS3/PS4 cross play for online games?

Gearbox seems to be pretty happy with the PS4 so far.

Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford is "really excited" about the PlayStation 4. Speaking during a panel at PAX East, the industry veteran not only stated his optimism for the new platform, but also praised Sony for inviting developers to the table when it came to designing the console itself.

"I'm really excited about it. I always love more power," Pitchford said of the PlayStation 4. "Since Sony's announced the PlayStation 4, I can probably at least say that it was really exciting for them to invite us to the process. That was new for Sony from our seat anyway."

I still have to get around finishing SR 3.

Any comments on the bots? Are they better than they were in Gow 3?

Damn Crixus.. it's the inevitable if we go to history of course, but after being there since the beginning never really realized how attached to some of these characters I got.

An employee of a southeastern New Mexico slaughterhouse has posted a video online showing him fatally shooting a horse in the head.

That has sparked outrage among animal activists and led to death-threat calls to the Roswell meat company, which is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to get a horse slaughter plant in the area.

A maintenance contractor with Valley Meat Co. is shown in the video bringing a horse out of its pen, swearing at activists and then killing the horse with a single gunshot, KOB-TV reported Thursday.

Rick De Los Santos, a part-owner of Valley Meat Co., said he has been slammed with hate calls and death threats since the video hit the Internet.
"I didn't have anything to do with that video. That's the honest truth," De Los Santos said.

De Los Santos said the contract worker, Tim Sappington, shot the video on his own time and at his own home.

 "He shot a horse. That's what he eats. It's not against the law to slaughter your own horse," De Los Santos said. "Now, putting it on YouTube, I would not have done that."
 Last year, De Los Santos sued the USDA to resume the inspections necessary to open what would be the nation's first new horse slaughterhouse in more than five years.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/22/video-new-mexico-man-shooting-horse-in-head-sparks-outrage/?intcmp=obnetwork

Wasn't even aware it was legal in the United States. Mixed feelings on a horse slaughter house.. though ultimately I guess if the animal is used for food it's not a whole lot different than slaughtering a cow or a pig, IMO.

Gameloft is totally a fan of UNO, and they’ve offered a version on Android for some time now. Today though, the folks from Gameloft have just released the official launch trailer for the all-new UNO & Friends cross platform multiplayer game that is coming soon. It will be available on Android, iOS, and Facebook and we’ll all be able to compete together.

Today Gameloft released the official launch trailer, and it’s extremely cheesy to say the least. On the bright side it looks like they at least give us a few seconds to actually see the new and improved user interface for the classic game brought to our mobile devices for multiplayer fun. Get ready for those Draw 4 cards.

It looks similar to Zynga Poker if you ask us – which is a good thing as that layout is quite simple and easy to understand. You’ll be able to create your own game and invite friends, family, and millions of other players from around the world – and of course request players from Facebook. This brings an entirely new level of UNO for Android from Gameloft. Here’s the cheesy video for your viewing pleasure:

Gameloft is definitely my favorite mobile publisher. Even when the PS Vita is still only pushing 8 player limits in online FPS's, Gameloft is throwing out games like NOVA 3 and Modern Combat 4 that do 12 player online matches complete with vehicles.

Online first person shooter for Android, up to 64 players per server. Has a zombie mode as well.

Free version and premium version on sale for 99 cents in the Google Play Store.

Played online for a bit, about 20 people in my server. Ran fine on both my Xperia Play (though not optimized for the game pad) and Pantech Burst.
Little slow paced, especially the zombie mode.

As offensive as Joe can get, I still tend to agree with him.

She went through puberty as a man, and creates an unfair advantage over fighting other women. Nothing wrong with being transgender, but that shouldn't give you the right to beat up on women.

One of her matches, really feel sorry for the opponent who apparently had no idea she was up against a [former] man.

Looking forward to it.

Saw the original Pitch Black in an over crowded movie theater in South Florida and still remember people yelling and whistling when the short haired blonde woman crouched down to go into that tunnel.

Finding a kitty skeleton in your sausage seems gross, but it turned out to be a lucky break for a woman in Thailand who turned the cat carcass into a shrine.

Krod Yotchomrang, a 52-year-old woman in Buri Ram, Thailand, recently cooked some sausages for her family when she noticed something strange inside one of them.

"I was cutting the third sausage when I noticed what looked like a small cat," she told the Bangkok Post. "We almost threw up when we realized we were eating the body of a kitten for dinner."

http://main.aol.com/2013/03/20/krod-yotchomrang-dead-kitten-in-sausage_n_2917113.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000058

At least she made a shrine out of it.

Good thing I started out with 250,000,000 points then otherwise I might be worried!
