Sure, let me make sure I didn't put it in storage.

Yoshi is pretty fucking far from Copernicus.

Five hundred years and a continent to be exact.

I got my new hard drive and transferred the stuff over, so if anyone needs to borrow the transfer cable just holla. Also, got a spare official 60 GB drive now if anyone wants one dirt cheap.

You do realize that just because you replied last doesn't mean you 'won', right?

You're kind of like Cheeks in that regard. It's not that people end up believing what you say, they just don't want to talk to you anymore because you don't know how to have a conversation without measuring dicks and "proving" your choice as superior.

I mean, either way you're enjoying a treat.

Your pathological need for one-up-manship is... unbecoming.

Cupcakes just aren't the same at 30 fps.

they totally are.

You misunderstand my motivation. I personally want the best version of everything. There are others on this board that do as well. I wish more people did, because it would force developers to actually give a shit and not cater to the lowest common denominator. It's no more complicated than that.

If everyone thought McDonald's burgers were "good enough," no one would go to The Owl, which would be terrible. The same applies to games.

More Litter In Games 2012

Just post "I don't get it" and get it over with.

How about "More than 30 FPS in 2012"...

Want and have are two different things.

Developers will always cater to the LCD, because there's always a LCD. That LCD moves, though - GTA5 won't be coming out for PS2, and it has to look better than #4.

But there's always going to be, with everything, some high end expensive shit the vast majority of people don't care about. Like kingoffighters and his stupid-ass blender.

KitchenAid rules, assuming that is what he has. My wife has one.

There's a big difference between having a 360 (this gen's PS2) version and neutering the PC or PS3 version because of it. Activision has had some awful PC ports where they lock the framerate at 30 and don't even provide the most basic and standard options. That's the shit that drives me nuts.

My blender is amazing. I have used it at least 2-3 times per week for over 1.5 years. I have never been healthier. It is a worthy purchase and I will gladly buy another when this one breaks down (it does have a 7 year warranty on the motor).

EDIT: Also, McRibs.

Oh I get it. I just don't give a shit.

God, I fucking love McRibs.

It took the mention of ribs to get you to come out of hiding?
Could you be any more stereotypical? :)

They are just that good! :)

I'm eating one right now! Yum.

Disgusting.

Confirmed.

fyi: the MorningStar Hickory Barbecue Riblets taste exactly like a Mcrib (seriously) except they won't make you die before your time.

I could see that having the same texture entirely.

I don't like Mcribs, they load those fuckers up with onions.

They are really, really good.

I had 2 yesterday. A dollar extra for the 2nd one, I couldn't resist.

The mcrib is so nasty. The glued together meat consistency has never been particularly enticing be it their version of chicken or beef.
Then they put pickles on it. Who the fuck eats pickles and ribs?

Who eats straight-up bones?

I tell you though, pickles on a pulled pork sandwich is a good thing.

Real ribs? AWESOME
McDonalds pressed together spongy and grease filled concoction? NASTY

Noodlegazer.

It's been two months and I still don't have my old account back. I've given up on the name but I want those 3300 MS points tied to the account.

Microsoft needs that $40 or whatever it is more than you do. Sorry.

Seems so.

It's really fucking retarded. I had a broad come in today to buy a game. Her credit card came up declined. She said Oh sorry, let me do a transfer. She whipped out her phone, typed some shit, and handed back her card. I swiped it again and bam she was good to go. Whole process took less than a minute.
But it takes more than two months for Microsoft to handle this shit? Pathetic and deplorable.

The preview program updated today. So there's that.

Doesn't get my points back.

The new interface is a big improvement over the old one IMO.

Except for the ads.

I do like it a lot, the friends list isn't as in your face as it used to be, but works fine if you just use the guide.

Is it me or does it load a shit load faster at boot too? It's really clean, I like it so far.

I need to check that out. I'd try it on my XBOX, but I don't want to lose my peg-leg firmware just yet.

Dashboard update tomorrow, but it's missing things like Youtube and HBOGo. They'll be added later.

Am I wrong in thinking that a lot of the media stuff might as well be watched on regular tv? That the only advantage for several of the media things is that you won't need a cable box to access it? Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, but a lot of the content seems completely redundant for the average user. Am I missing something important?

James

It's a step forward towards the all-encompassing set-top box that we all dreaded years ago but are totally awesome now.

I didn't dread shit. And James... for those of us who don't fuck with cable (five years for me) it's pretty cool, I guess? I've no interest in what is good for the average user, because the average user is a dumbass.

lol cable.

If you don't use the features, no worries. If you do use the features, no worries. I'm sure it won't work, but if I can use my verizon login from when I lived at my mom's place and they had FIOS, I'll be megastoked.com/what

Moveon.org/tiredgimmick

I'm fine with using my 360 as a cable box. Fuck Time Warner.

Dashboard update has been "Slightly Delayed". Also the preview forums claim the Netflix ap is new and broken, and parties seem to be missing.

But Parties is kinda shit.

I use Netflix parties maybe 2 or 3 times a week. If a new show is on that af ew of my friends want to watch, we all jump on and knock out a few episodes(Most recently with peep show), or to watch horrible movies like Human Centipede (Most recently Thankskilling).

I want to watch Schindler's List with you guys.

I'm serious.

So, new netflix ap gained 5.1, but I'd still rather have parties I think.

Hit me up if you see me on and have room. Centipede was a blast.

Maybe late night... depends on if I am forming feet and legs or not.

I will play that game exactly one more time, only with 5 people and only to finish it. After that I'm deleting it. It is SO BORING.

Finally added subtitles to netflix too! Redesign is pretty swank, actually.

Well, looks like Live is down right now.

Thanks, dashboard update!

So wait, how does this TV thing work? What subscription costs are there? Do you have to subscribe to each channel individually?

I think if you have gold, and you have whatever provider, you're set.

Man, so the new dashboard must make everything great for Kinect owners.

...but isn't it a little more cumbersome for controller use? Yech.

2011. Youtube? COMING SOON

Not really. I'd say it is better for controller too.

I still use my controller, just use the bumper buttons.

I couldn't do that on my arcade stick. Fuck that noise.

If all you want to do is play a game, the OS starts on the home screen with the "play game on disc" option selected. Much better than the old system.

You don't have the bumpers mapped to anything? Mine has it.

I do, but it didn't work when I tried it.

Are you saying the old dash didn't do that, or that it still does that and is also better in general?
My xbox works the same way, and I haven't updated the dash since spring.

WHERE
THE
FUCK
IS
NETFLIX?

"Apps" tab at the top.

I've had the preview dash for ages. I guess my real question is as follows: why the fuck did the netflix app disappear, and why the fuck is it not downloadable anymore.

The Xbox Live App by Microsoft for Apple stuff is really nice! About time, the 3rd party ones all kind of stunk

Providing a link would be helpful, though not necessary if you at least give the name of the app.

Buttcheeks, if you come in here with some lmgtfy shit I will figure out a way to make you regret it someday. This I swear to you.

My Xbox Live.

I don't know what it is but my Xbox froze three times since this damned thing updated.

I take it I am the only one with no Netflix?

Go to 'apps'. Look at the apps marketplace. Select Netflix. Now you have Netflix.

Get ready for the TMZ app :p

No thanks.

Protip: If an app fails to start, go to your harddrive and check and see if the file is corrupted. I had to clean mine out, for some reason I had 2 versions of a few apps and it made my xbox panic everytime I tried to launch it.

This happened to me with the Zune video app.

I'm not digging the layout and presentation of this update.

I like the "beacons" thing a lot. I'll continue not paying attention to 99% of the dashboard offerings.

This worked, after 48 hours of the apps marketplace being empty. Also: I had to download it at least 10 times.

Cursed?

More like haunted.

I still haven't been able to get my SSFIV costume pack to work and I've downloaded that bitch like a gazillion times.

Indie games get screwed again.

It's all in the video above, provided by GameMarx. Even that new Xbox iOS app doesn't list Indies. Why is nobody thinking of the little guys?

Try re-installing the game, get your save on the cloud first.

Peeps in the preview beta, YouTube and Verizon Fios TV apps are up. Not sure what the Fios app does, but you have to have Vz Fios to use it.

TMZ and MSNBC came up today also.

Best part: Youtube app is for Gold only.
