I've been to the future and I can tell you how the Rangers game is going to go. The Bruins are going to play like sh*t for 50min and go down 3 goals, and then somehow turn it on and make it competitive for the last 10min.

So watch the Knicks, tune in to the end of the Rangers game when it gets good. Normally that's what I would say about a basketball game (watch the last 3min and you saw the whole game).

I'm pretty sure David Stern doesn't give a single flying fuck about the NHL playoff schedule, and the NHL's playoffs last like four months.

I'd say that that puts the onus on the NHL to not be stupid. But asking Gary Bettman to not be stupid is like asking EA to start giving a shit about its customers.

I hope the Rangers enjoy their television audience of 16 people tonight.

Hockey playoffs last longer? Since when? They play every other night and in the two game sevens were on back to back nights. NBA occasionally have 3 days off between games for travel (From Boston to NYC and two days off in between games for travel wtf?)

If anything the NHL playoffs seem longer because more games are played in a shorter amount of time because even an eight seed can force seven games against a one seed...

I'd also challenge you on the Blackhawks and the Eastern D. They are pretty big and man can they score. Considering they made the Red Wings look stupid last night, I think they are a little better than you give them credit for.

The Bruins don't play defense? I'm from Boston, that has been their MO since Julian took over the team and the Rangers pride themselves on shot blocking (a painful form or defense).

As far as I'm concerned the 2013 NBA playoffs are already over, the Heat won, anyone who doesn't believe that I would be more than happy to make a friendly wager :).


Sorry, hockey is a touchy subject for me...

I'll give you this. Bettman is an idiot, the rise of the NHL has nothing to do with him yet he gets all the credit.

RCI Tuning: Fixed issue where sims going to a park via transit would sometimes lose their money or happiness on the way home.

That's not a bug, that's called "riding public transportation"...

Call me when its Sim City 4.0

"For the quarter, non-GAAP net revenue of $1,040 million was within our guidance of $1,025 million to $1,125 million.

It looks even bigger if you say 1,125,000 thousand... just sayin

Gran Turismo 6 set for PlayStation 3 according to online retailer.

Based on GT5 I expect this to hit sometime before or around the next millennium.

3.4 million and it didn't meet sales targets.

AKA: "We needed an excuse to lay off a majority of the team that made this great game to bolster our revenue/expense ratio to maximize our stock. F those talented people and their families. Happy Easter!"

I can understand buying this game because the DRM doesn't scare you and you just want to play the damn thing.

I may have eventually bought this game when everything was ironed out, but if this is true, it's going too far. I refuse to support a company who blatantly lies.

Of course there will be a sequel. Its EA.

I lost interest in BF3 after getting frustrated with the lack of communication on PC. To anyone that argues in favor or no VOIP needs to play TF2 or CS:GO competitively.

If you load money onto a prepaid credit card it is not backed by the FDIC. It sounds like hes trying to do something similar with bitcoins.

Also laws are great when the offenders are held accountable. These same banks that had to adhere to laws are also constantly lobbying to change them in their favor.

I'm not (trying) to troll, I am merely stating that this guy is no less credible than the average credit issuing bank.In fact, he actually has to be accountable for his actions (or lack of action) as proven by his current predicament.

How about a stupid bill proposal tax?

Charge these guys for not focusing on what actually matters in this country.

I think this has a lot more to do with an eventually iOS conversion. Not every game has to have cutting edge graphics to benefit from the engine.

Picking the two road teams in the NFC? That is pretty daring!

If I was a betting man I would stick with the home teams this weekend. I'd hate to see a class act like Tony Gonzalez retire after a home playoff loss.

It's not about DRM, it's about socialization. EA realized that social gaming is free advertisement, so they mandated that all games they ship have social components. It's even mentioned during the AMA, that whatever the guy's name is said that he wouldn't greenlight any game that was only single player.

How's the Cool Aid taste?

People who bought this game and then bitch about the always on DRM as if its something new and undocumented need to stop.

This has been the case for years with Ubisoft. Vote with your wallets, avoid this crap or just buy it and deal with it.

If Intel goes this route, cutting out all 3rd party mobo makers, and AMD tanks (as is looking more probable), how likely is it that DOJ will step in and break apart Intel? They would be the only player in the desktop/laptop/server market for procs and mobos.

I think the issue is more to do with x86 licencing than with Intel as a company. ARM is a very capable chip maker but does not have the rights (as far as I am aware) to design an x86 chip.

And its not all about the high end. No one would raise monopoly issues if Ferrari were the only super car. As long as there are Chevy's Renault's and Fords that satisfy the majority.
