my hopes is when they do crash (and surely they will) that the hardware manufacturers don't decide to keep their prices up.

I can bet you any revenue based meeting the discussion boils down to how are we going to hold our prices when the bubble bursts and how are we going to keep our competitors from slashing theirs?

Sure, we'll see a drop, the distribution outlets won't be gouging so hard but I'd be surprised if we see hardware back to early 2017 prices.

I keep forgetting about these games - great addition

this needs to happen.

In a business environment where the line level employee is close to minimum wage, where byod isn't an option, and / or supplying everyone with smart phones isn't feasable - the only economical option is a tablet. In my experience in a faster paced environment a tablet is often times just too big. Something pocket sized that cheaper than a phone but has scanning, data entry, wifi, can run apps and can take pictures would be perfect.

still trying to go pick mine up,

is there a multiplayer experience and is it good?

I'll be a lot of developers will scale back pushing graphical limits for a while.

Splurging on a graphics card now is nearing a house payment

I'll watch it but I really can't get into the Newt Scarmander character. He's just doesn't give me that main character vibe. People have called out this character for a number of reasons but I just can't get behind his lack of charisma. He's a side-kick at best.

I couldn't really tell, but my post count wasn't anything to brag about so i'd be the same thing for months.

I like the look of the race car styled chairs but if its anything like actual racing seats they're horrible! I spent a lot of time during late teens early 20's putting crap like that in whatever I was driving and it was a huge sacrifice in comfort.

While i've not tried one I can see that a nice leather executive chair is super comfortable and would be hard for me to give up. I may buy one of those chairs for the kids and play test it just to see how it feels.

I thought that was cool, although I could never figure out if there was a hierarchy to it or if it was just a bunch of randomness

ha, I forgot and bought it anyway, its still in the glove box of my car

I gave up on finding the broadcast monitor unicorn years ago...

Emulation would be fine if it wasn't for all those wonderful light gun games...

Be careful taking pictures in a public restroom...

I purchased launch versions of each console and then purchased the 4k versions when they came out. VR took over the living room so one of the xbone and ps4s went to the bedroom. I could give up the fire tv and use one of the aps on the xbone or ps4 but i'd miss out on the automation tied in with alexa.

I think at this point I should just buy a bigger house, put vr in the kids room and get my living room back.

If you have the last post does it stay lit, even though you last posted?

Gripe and Moan time


TV Manufacturers are slowly but surely cutting out the number of inputs on the television while the amount of connected devices per television is going up.

I could care less in my living room... A receiver chews up everything and spits it out all in one hdmi output to the television but in a bedroom where i'm trying to minimalize this is painful.

I ditched a huge entertainment stand for a small floating one. i got rid of a 5.1 channel receiver for a decent 3.1 sound bar. I even bought a newer, larger tv, that has a smaller footprint because theres no beezels.

The problem now is there are 3 hdmi ports and a component. i have 4 4k devices and 3 1080p devices AND my hdmi switcher is only 1080p. a 4k switcher is not in the cards yet sooooo i'm either stuck with going back to the receiver or not using a 4k device...

maybe the cable box can be plugged into the hdmi switcher, its not like anything is broadcast in 4k anyway..

but still tv guys, why go with less inputs. it CANT be that much more expensive to make. The old people you're worry about confusing has their kids put these things together anyway, or pays geek squad.

Colleen Clinkenbeard - When I heard her voice in Boarderlands I thought it was about time. Sure, she'd been in a few others, mostly doing her DBZ characters but this girl is the queen of anime and barely tapped for video games...

Claudia Black - big farscape fan so she's another top for me.

I switched to the theme everyone else was using and the little circles next to the topics now work like they should (different color when somethings new) and well everything else we talked about
#1221
I think it's just an issue of nomenclature. when using a different theme "unread" doesn't exist. there's recent unread topics and updated topics. I'm wondering if Manas just had it mis-named.
#1222
Cautiously optimistic.

Sega hasn't brought pso2 to the states on the PS4, why would they localize it on the switch?
#1223
well if I run out of games to buy I'll be sure to get Bomberman R
#1224
sounds good. The closest thing to a diner here is Denny's and Waffle House. My idiot city has labeled itself a beer and food-topia so "greasy spoons" are taboo. Ever since NC stopped allowing indoor smoking even Denny's and Waffle Houses have been shuttering.

Sunday I found myself in BestBuy buying a 4k TV. While I didn't visit the restrooms I looked around and noticed why the restrooms are terrible, there's a 10:1 male to female ratio working there. In my retail experience men are terrible restroom cleaners. Anywhere I've worked with clean restrooms can be blamed on the female employees. Even when there's a restroom cleaning schedule, men are just terrible at keeping a public restroom clean.

As I've mentioned in other places I'm really interested in getting into this game. I adore the idea but it seems the grind and the brutal difficulty is a deal breaker. At this point I'm a collector who casually games and from what I've read about Elite Dangerous I'd not get anything out of it.

Someone please change my mind so I can buy this game and not ever install it!

(using the general discussion section as an example)

Right now when I click unread it shows only 5 unread topics, 3 from the general discussion section.

when I load the home page and click general discussion I show 8 with the new flag. The three showing unread in both places are the threads thoughts on layout, best buy bathrooms, the following domains... the ones only flagged when I access the general discussion section from the home page are "how has graphics, testing mod, e-notify, 2 ways to view, and thinking of combining"

I'm assuming if "new" flag is synonomous with unread. I mean if someone amends their post wouldn't it show in my unread section as well as be flagged new? Surely 5 items just in general discussion weren't amended so that's probably a bad line of thought to start with...

not sure man, not sure

I remember getting absolutely embarrassed by every Japanese player I ever played over wifi on the ds.

XBONE made people mad because they were originally going to require daily online authentication and the they were pushing DRM not to mention what MAI mentioned!

Gamers revolted and Xbox changed their mind before release but not before disenfranchising the masses.

I've finally sold myself on the system because the PS4 won't play 4k blurays and sea of theives is an xbox one exclusive thats releasing soon.
