I'm not a Sony fanboy by any means (the only Sony product I can recall owning is my PS3--which I do like), but man. If you're saying that Sony TVs suck now, there must have been a huge decline in recent years.

I have a Panasonic plasma, and one of my friends has a Sony pre-LED LCD, and while the picture of each is very different, and I prefer mine, the Sony is damn pretty looking.

The Lie of IMAX Digital: The Dark Knight Rises Problem.

We have one of each here - an actual IMAX screen, and another AMC theater that slapped IMAX on the building, for one of their regular screens.

I only go to the true IMAX.


nin how would I find out what type of Imax I have locally? (Newport Kentucky AMC at the Levee would be the closest.

Damn Bats were you dieing and decided to make a bucket list or what? Should have stopped by Cincy for a beer!

That one's digital. The OMNIMAX theater at the museum is the only real IMAX theater in the area.

I think the biggest reason they don't want you to buy an iPhone is pretty simple. Apple charges a lot of money for an iPhone. They are required to offer them at one and only one subsidized price. They can make a lot more money off of Android phones.

I removed WMP as soon as I installed Win7. VLC and Media Player Classic do all of the mediaplaying I need.

Again, please explain what you meant with "overpriced Competing products"?

He's probably talking about how the current-gen phones are $300 on contract as opposed to the iPhone's $200.

I can't stand Apple products, and I loathe my Android phone with the force of a thousand suns, and anything newer than a year old is $500-$900 unlocked, which is kind of ridiculous.

The cell phone industry is fucked up.

Apple software dude sells stocks worth $38 million in one day. A million people's yearly salary in one day. I am sure his time on this planet is that much more valuable than anyone else's. How long before the poor take to the streets? Is that what rich people really want? the guillotine? For the sake of my children I would hope that sanity will prevail and soon.

The yearly salary of a thousand people, perhaps.

Cincinnati Fans are like the Black Knight from Quest for the Holy Grail.
Doesn't matter that they no longer have limbs to play the game, they always have a 'good team this season'.
Anthrax killed the entire team, except a special teams coach and two 3rd string kickers? Bah they got a shot at the Super Bowl!

The Bengals had a pretty good season last year, considering lots of people were predicting they'd only win a couple of games or so (breaking in the new QB and all).

They had an easy schedule, though, so we'll see how it comes out this year.

If PSN+ was charging what XBL charges monthly/yearly, there is no way in hell I would consider it worth it. I mean, it comes out to 5 dollars a month (less then actually since paying a year ahead of time gets you two months free). I hate to be so cliche about it, but I spend that on coffee every day. For what it brings to the table, its seems fair. You are right though, it isn't anywhere near being in the same league as XBL or Steam in many ways.

That is how much XBL costs, isn't it? $60/yr?

Looks like people think the Bengals had a pretty good draft. We shall see!

Has anyone seen this Kickstarter?

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/subgames/rob-swigarts-portal-1986-reborn

Seems like it could use some attention/lovin'.

I never played the original, but it sounds like it had a pretty cool premise.

Probably because it sounds like they are just mostly redoing the menu interface to work in higher resolutions.

And to work on the ipad BECAUSE BUTTONS AND CLICKING ARE FOR UNHIP LOSERS! Angry

And so is the Wii! Stupid user interfaces are bad unless they're done by Apple! Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

But I'm also the guy that thinks backwards compatibility is a stupid waste of money and effort in consoles, so...
Well sony agreed with you, so they took out hardware backwards compatibility first, then software.

IMHO its somewhat good to drive initial sales into a new console, because people are happy their last gen games are still playable on it. But after a bit, everyone who cared about that feature has one already, and the new people to it don't have any old games anyway.

For Sony, you can still buy the PS2 with no problem, so BC isn't a biiig issue, except for people that wanted the games upscaled. For the XBOX, though, MS stopped producing them *immediately* when the 360 was released.

The possible risks of Kickstarter:

My $15 might turn into no game or a bad game

The possible rewards of Kickstarter:

My $15 might turn into a good niche game that would never have existed without it.

OH NOES MY FIFTEEN DOLLARS!

I was a huge fan of BF1942 and BF2, and I was very excited for BF3, but every thing I heard about it made me want it less. So. Yup. Lost my sale. Still haven't gotten it.

Anyone else noticed that the great blog post by Abrash this weekend is suddenly gone from Valve. I was about to add it to my RSS feed today. Wonder what happened there.

Abrash on Valve, Snow Crash, and Wearable Computers

The blog post is still there, when I check.

Half-Life sucks. The more time they spend working on not-HL3 the better.

I went back to play some Demon's Souls today... I actually kinda feel like a lot of aspects of it are superior to Dark Souls. Damn shame. I wish they could release the server software to the community to run.

Also: You all may recall that Demon's Souls' servers have had a number of extensions to even bring it this far along. They never intended to run the servers for more than a year.

Sad about Demon's Souls, but I guess I haven't touched it since Dark Souls came out, so...

Wasn't any for dead island ;p

Like a day after the trailer popped up, forums everywhere were full of people reminding everyone that the game was just a generic zombie-shooter. I was not for a single moment under the impression that it was anything else...
