Brian Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 A place for us geeks to BS and talk tech.- - - Updated - - -Since I'm not getting a Xbox One anytime soon I figured I'd go pick up the new COD: Ghost for the 360. I also recently purchased a new 60" Panasonic ST60 plamsa so I had to see how the graphics were. I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted last night playing but this weekend I'm hoping to.

Brian Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 There you are! I was hoping you'd see this quickly. I've played all of the COD games so of course I'll continue to buy them. And I switched to Xbox back when the first xbox came out. I had both the original Xbox and the PS2. Then I just continued on the Xbox path and have never considered getting a PS again. I don't hate the PS systems. Just my preference. I'm definitely looking forward to catching up on the tech world and also seeing what other games are out there. I'll be picking up a few others as time goes on.- - - Updated - - -I just watched that video you posted. "WOW" is the first thing that I thought. I would definitely upgrade to the newer systems if I had the spare cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom351R Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 This is whats going to start to separate the new systems from last gen. Games like this and The Order 1886 will be for current gen systems only. A lot of people whine if a game is not for both consoles but hell you cant have your cake and eat it to.

Blackmage Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 fuck the xbox or ps, Wii U is where it's at! ... lol seriously though, i find the wii games way more entertaining and more enjoyable to relax playing than 90% of the games on the xbox and ps. Don't get me wrong tho, i'd still rock a ps4 or xbox 1 if i could afford it right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom351R Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 There are not any games on the Wii or Wii U that I would really like. I enjoy my pretty graphics on my TV lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferocious Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 After 3 years with my dslr it's finally time to get an upgrade. I'll be getting a new camera finally within the next 6 months. I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottydsntknow Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Just upgraded the computron, posted another thread about it. I prefer computer gaming to console gaming. I can get almost any title on the PC that comes out on consoles and MANY more that are PC exclusive. No I am not a WoW gamer... eeeww... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferocious Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 What kind? I've wanted a DSLR for awhile but have never picked one up yet. I'm looking at either a Nikon D5100 or D3200. Still have to do a bit of research before I get it. I was looking at Canon's lineup as well since they've gotten much better over the years, but i'm probably going to stick to Nikon.

I thought about getting into PC gaming at one point but there are to many games that never see the PC that I really like so overall I would have been missing out.

Yeah I hear that, if there is an exclusive title it sometimes is worth it just for that title. I would only maybe think about buying a Wii honestly because Nintendo exclusive titles are a bit different and its good when you have a 5 yr old lol. Hell, last console I bought new was the original Xbox lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom351R Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 When you have kids that makes a difference. I dont have any so I have about as much use for a Wii or a Wii U as a rock lol. There is just nothing about that system game wise or system wise that I really like but other people love it and for kids its great, its just not for me. The very best games Ive played over the years have been Sony exclusive titles even though the new Metal Gear game is going to the XB1 as well it does not change the fact that anything that comes out of the Sony Sana Monica studio is gold and always a exclusive on the Playstation and thats just one of the many great Sony studio's out there.

I've been trying to sync my old iphone (use it just for music) to my music for hours now and nothing will convert over. Ya you go in the folder and all your songs are named ngdz or zfrq or some bullshit vs the actual name of the song. Thanks Apple for making it impossible to use any other product for stuff I PAID FOR! They can go straight onto an erect 12" unlubed cock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Go on... I'm curious as to why?The biggest problem for me has been iTunes. I have an iPhone 4 & 5. Both of which I have syncing problems with. I use the 4 for music only (like an iPod) but what good is it if I can't even sync it with iTunes?! I'm sure there's some solution somewhere but why does it have to be omega complicated?! "Well you have to disconnect the jorgans and turn option xyz off then hold the phone 3 feet above sea level and spin around 3.5 times". It's just BS anymore.

"Well you have to disconnect the jorgans and turn option xyz off then hold the phone 3 feet above sea level and spin around 3.5 times". It's just BS anymore. I just copypasta my music folder onto the 64 gig SD card in my phone. When it asks "copy and replace?" I say skip and it just loads the new songs. I have an android though and my phone has a removable battery and SD card slot. Imagine that. One of my greatest Android vs iCrap moments was when I was still a flyer and the entire crew except me had iCraps. After a 15 hour work day and then another 6 hours out in Los Angeles we needed to GPS back to the hotel. Everyone's phones were dead except mine lol. My 2 year old Bionic with an extended battery still had 20+% and I GPS'd us back to the hotel. Then we kept drinking. I miss being on the road but it killed my family life... too much money spent in Europe too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve@CJPP Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 My Moto X on a slightly heavy day. There have been plenty of times where I have gone over the 24 hour mark on lighter days, the batter is killer in this thing and the phone is just amazing. I couldn't be happier.

scottydsntknow Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah I am really considering not getting a new phone even now that my Bionic is easily over 2 years old. Extended battery, custom rom, wireless tether hack baked in, overclocked a little, task killer, no ads or bloatware at all does everything I want and has a pentile screen so I can see outside really well. Also I have all the docks for it including the Lapdock. When I was on the road it would routinely go over 30 hours per charge on somewhat light use but still. I am VERY interested in the new Blackberry Z30 though. The new BB 10.2 OS kicks serious ass and you can load pretty much any Android app onto it too so that whole "no app" argument holds no water.

GearGambler Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm curious if anyone is using Valve's Steam? I think that platform is really going to take off, but wanted to get some feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottydsntknow Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 The Steam OS? No but I'm very curious about it. If you mean just the steam service I think anyone who is a halfway serious gamer has a Steam account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
