It's starting to be the best time to pre-order anything is a week before the game comes out, which kind of defeats the convenience of pre-ordering.

I believe it said all previous preorders would be updated... 

Not if you pre-ordered months ago  via Greenman...

Oh thought we were talking about Amazon...

Agh, I was going to hold off on this, but just pre-ordered from directtoplay (never used before) for $35 for PC

Link?

Finally finished the game and I have to say, it's the worst of all of the COD games.  Man it was a chore to finish the short campaign, and the multiplayer was flat out boring.  I think I'm done with COD and MOH for a while. 

Honestly, while the game mechanics are a little better, I still think Uncharted wins out in terms of better plot, better characters, better story, and way better environments.

But, Tomb Raider is good enough to stand on its own.

ya i'm only 40% through, but I can easily say Uncharted is loads better.  TR3 is fun and probably my GOTY so far

I'm going to say that a 20 mission expansion is not worth the money.    I paid for it, but I won't make the mistake on expansion 3.     I'm enjoying it, but my gaming dollars are precious.

it's not an expansion.   Don't know why people keep saying this...  20 missions is typically more missions you get in modern RTS games.

Ya, that sucks.  Deserving, but sucks

I shocked CA didn't think of it first

latest rumor now is Ed Reed coming to the niners.

i'd pay Goldston over Ed Reed.

well, it was smoked and the heat source came from the fire box on the side.

Hmmm so no direct heat?  Weird.  How hot were you running?

Personally I don't actually long smoke tri tip, so I don't have a ton of experience with it other than general experience with things I do smoke (ribs, shoulder, brisket, etc...).

I was trying to keep it in the 220-240 range, but I kept overcompensating and was actually in the 270 range.  Over time I'll get the hang of it on knowing how much fuel to use to maintain the heat. 

The outside looked a bit dark than what my friend did with the same recipe.  But it was pretty good.  The outer part was a little crunchy (fat side) where his isn't.  I think where I went wrong is I put it fat side down for 30 minutes and then flipped it for the rest of the time time 3.5 hours or so.  I think next time I'm just leaving it alone.  Everything else under the layer was great.  I now need a meat slicer

Overall turned out great!  Not as good as my friends (who I think makes the best tri-tip I've ever had anywhere) but it was close.

If there's too much bark, you probably had it too close flame.  You want more of an indirect heat than a direct heat.

and this is what's for dinner (smoking Tri-Tip)

Yeah, Origin is a huge turnoff, as is the EA connection and the threat of Sims-style expansion pack overdosing.  I'm still super excited for my copy to arrive, though.

Do you hate Steam as well?  It's the same damn thing.  I don't understand the hatred.  They both do their jobs.  Steam has had problems with unlocking games as well.  It's the reality of PC games these days. 

It all goes back to the Horse Armor.  The people who bought this micro transactions back then told publishers that gamers are willing to spend money on stupid shit on things that should already be in the game.  So don't blame EA/Activision or other publishers, blame ourselves.

I thought this was a fantastic episode.  Best of the season, or at least this half of the season.  More character stuff than we've had in a long time.  Michone finally got developed a bit, and it was a nice way to bring her into the fold more.

Plus it was really nice to get away from the Governor and Andrea. 

ya that was an awesome episode.  Always enjoyed the actor who played Morgan.  3 weeks in a row of great tv.

AHHHHH YEAH!

The Chiefs apparently have their quarterback now, but they paid a handsome price for him.

According to Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News, the 49ers will get a second-round pick this year and “a similar pick in the 2014 draft” in exchange for quarterback Alex Smith.

Just imagine if we tried to trade him 2 years ago, we'd be lucky to get something out of him

The thing for me about the cars isn't the gas, it was how spotless the truck was when Glenn was getting ready to drive away.  All the characters look like they haven't seen a shower in a year but the cars look like they just came off the lot.

The blatant car sponsorship on the show can be really funny, especially when the cars are showroom pristine, as you mentioned.  One of the motorcycle companies should sponsor Daryl's bike.  Scratch that, I just looked at some pictures of his bike and I forgot that it has a big SS symbol on it.    

Well the car that Andrea drove back to Woodbury was dirty as can be

hell it should be longer than 7 years ago, I don't think we're close to the life span on the current consoles.  I don't think graphically there's going to be a big leap compared to what we saw between the xbox and the xbox 360, ps2 vs ps3.

ouch, 5-6 hours is way too short for full price for me.  especially considering how long Crysis 2 was.  btw, Kotaku gave this a "no buy" recommendation.  too many bugs, inconsistent gameplay, and a step down from #2. 

That's not saying much because Crysis 2 was horrible.  AI was incredibly stupid I just gave up.

You shut your whore mouth.

FYI Gratch doesn't like 83.5% of the games he plays

If you would like to be as furious as I am, watch this:

There is absolutely ZERO in this demo that is real.  Nothing they showed was in any way real.  The level layouts may be the same, but absolutely nothing else is.  The animation, the "sophisticated AI", the art - nothing.

One has to think that they shipped out the wrong code.  Or someone sabatoged them.  I mean what's else can it be.  The game that shipped looks like it's 2 years old out of the box.

April 22nd G4 will be no more.

Is that flash of light to the left of the stadium a generator blowing up?

It's from Candlestick from last year against the Steelers.  I believe 2 generators blew up that night.  More importantly, we beat the Steelers that night

[But at the end, the niners dug themselves in too deep to get out of]

and lame holding no call on the safety.

The result of which would have been...a safety.

I think he means the safety should have been flagged for a holding call.

I think on replay it showed both were performing pass interference.  Good no call.

No, Gratch is right.  But at least there would have been a little more time   Which I also believe it wouldn't matter.  I just merely pointing out the inconsistencies that I saw in officiating.  Many people I've talked to who had no stake in the game saw the same things.  But at the end, the niners dug themselves in too deep to get out of

SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats.  It was a fun 2nd half that's for sure

Lame pass interference no call in the endzone and lame holding no call on the safety.  But niners put themselves in this situation in the first half and letting Jones score on the kickoff

Can't freaking wait!

I hear there's some football game on Sunday.  It's supposed to be the only one on for a while, so I'll probably watch that.

Other than that, I want to get back into Wargame: European Escalation and am playing Dirt 2.

Yep! And my Ravens are on the Super Bowl, so I'll be watching!!! 

I so wanted to edit this...
