Movies & TV / Re: All Things Netflix! Now With Original Programming!

I think that is a smart move by Netflix.  If they can figure out that there being throttled and the companies are not giving the customers the speeds they are paying for *cough* ATT *cough*  then they should call them out and let the customer know.

Complete with Magi-Lift Ladders.  Get up that wall faster with the Hands Free Magi-Lift Ladder.

Considering what there throwing out and the time I think its looks pretty good.

Which leads us to one of the key differences between USB and Firewire.  Firewire every port gives you full speed but, your limited to the number of ports.  USB you can add a lot of ports to the bus but each one used will lower you speed to any individual one.

1255
Apple also went all-in on USB way before anyone else, before it really made sense to (pre-USB 2.0).
*Shrug*
When I was in High School you could buy what was known as a "Legacy Free" PC.  Pretty much it only had USB ports.  Ditched the PS2 ports.  That was late 90's.  Some a little later went as far as ditching VGA as well, 2000's.  Though that was also the time where there PCI Board still chips too.

I'm surprised to find that DVI can only drive 1920x1200 with a single cable.

I have vastly less games for my PS4 game then my WiiU.

I mean its pretty much:

PS Plus Freebies: Contrast, Warframe, Don't Starve, Resogun, Contra like thing, Blacklight retribution
Skylanders Swap Force

1257
Isn't it being filled by Digital River?  I won't touch anything with those guys with a 10 foot pole if I can help it.

1258
Apple has the habit historically of just backing the wrong standard.

SuperDisk
Firewire
etc.

All awesome standards in there own way but never got widely accepted as others.

The most interesting thing for me that came out of this is the Swift programming language which looks to be interesting.

Finally saw Star Trek: I Want to be as Good as Wrath of Khan.

I felt like I was watching a movie of a games Cutscenes strung together.  I kept feeling like there was something I wanted to play but these Cutscenes kept popping up.

I can't say it's a good movie because of that.  The Marvel thread we're talking team to build up and I think these movies lose something by not having the TV Series to help build these relationships.  All these character really feel generic this time.
Instead of retyping I'll just quote this for my view of the movie.

This just doesn't really work like how most of the Next Generation Movies just don't work.

1262
The man looks like he could be Dr. Strange in a way.  I don't know if I would want it to be a horror movie but, I see where there coming from.

Seriously, it sounds like Nintendo's phasing out old hardware so they can announce a revision sometime soon, possibly one with internal storage or a constant NFC reader or something.

I still think a dock with additional cooling, HD Spot, now GCN ports, and Lan adaptor would be ideal.

Ironically enough Cerny talked about with the PS4 trying to design in such a way that you wouldn't need to make a huge investment to make games from the tech side.

I'll admit I've cursed out my TV several times over the past couple days, but I would probably be more pissed if I shelled out $60 for a game (well, 2 games) and won every time. Try to get a Super Horn and just keep it at all times.
The super Horn will get me through the first shell.   My problem isn't there being challenge.  It's how the challenge is applied.  I watch the AI get Items that I've never gotten when I'm in there place.  I've dominated games to just get slightly knocked at the end and suddenly the whole field is there.  I don't want that.  I want the field to be with me where my items and racing can effect them.  I don't want to feel like the AI has a hive mind that is fixated on Me.

Its one thing to be competitive and another to cheat.

Limiting my items and then raining items on me instead of just being close most the race is vastly different.

I predict the cool online Feature of X is that using the power of the balance board your friends can also enjoy the walking simulator with you as you explore the lush environments.
Go play Xenoblade then come back and talk to me about a walking simulator
Easier said then done, is gamestop still charging 90$ for that game?
No GameStop is selling it for $50 and you can get it on eBay for less than that
It's on my list of things when I find a cheap copy or if there is a portable Port.
I'm waiting for the trailer that really shows some meat and doesn't amount to people walking around looking at the visuals.

Big Hero 6 is the Disney Animation Wing.  Same division who did Frozen.

I be surprised if the new Zelda does not have at least a Tech Demo on the floor.

I've beaten 50cc.  I normally beat 50cc then 100cc etc etc.  While the tracks are good I'm not enjoying running through them again.  Honestly most of the time its feels like I'm racing against 1 other kart while the Computer is Neutering my Item drops, I can't tell you how many time I've gotten the Coin and had 10 coins already.

Then there is the whole UI problem.  When your playing Single Player after each cup it dumps you to the initial load screen and I have to go through everything again to go to the next cup.  The load times between tracks feel too long.  The lack of Personal Karts for the characters takes some of the Wimsy away.

Sonic Racing Transformed you didn't run into a lot of those UI problems, except the load times.  They also did a good job of wringing variety out of there track sets with Challenges that would modify the tracks and be different then as straight up race.  I rarely felt as if the Comp was limiting my Item set because I was in the front.

Lot of races I have a good clear lead haven't seen anyone for 2 laps and then all of the suddenly the last lap everyone is there.  I had one where I was literally Blue Shell, Green Shell, Red Shell, Hit by a Banana while in the Air, and Green Shelled to a 6th place finish.

Also why can't I get the Course Map on my Screen be it I'm playing on the Gamepad or the TV.  When I'm on the TV I don't even see my controller unless I look down away from the race.  I would like to still see that information.  With the Gamepad I just don't know.  Makes it feel lonely for most of the race.

I think that the engine could easily make this one of the best Mario Kart if they release sets of 2 Grand Prix (1 New Tracks, 1 Retro Tracks) for about $2.50 per pack, cleaned up the interface, and fixed the clear player limiting.

I have to agree with the 7.5.

1274
To tell you the truth does anyone actually know any who reads the Fantastic Four Books.  I'm trying hard to think of anyone that I've known ever.  I can't think of anyone who didn't read them before I was born.  Maybe it is time to retire them to be brought back later.

Can't say my dreams are that interesting.  I rarely dream (Max a couple per year if not vastly less) and when I do its in a continuity.
