Shit TV. OK, Hound vs. Breanne. And you could fill this anime fights.

If you hate the Mako, wait until the Hovertank in 2.

Because PS+ has them on Super Sale and I got the 3rd last month free, do I want to drop $10 on the first two Dead Space games?

EA sale going on until Monday. Mirror's Edge, Crysis 1 and 2, Dead Space 1 and 2, and Battlefields 2 and 3 under $5 a piece. Also the Mass Effect Trilogy is on massive sale again, in case you missed it last time.

Roddy Piper vs Keith David from They Live. Thread closed.

Epix has got Apocalypse Now on rotation. I forgot how fucking good that movie was.

Well Verizon still uses MPEG-2 containers with H.262 for FiOS, which keeps it at 720. They do it because they claim they're near QAM compacity, although they could clear it up killing off most of the duped SD channels they carry (like Cablevision did). Course, Verizon has been cleaning up their tiers the past few weeks and seem to have a lot of channels opened up, since I know they're switching codecs over to MPEG-4 pt 10 with H.264 codecs after the Quantum TV rollout is over. Course, most companies could solve this problem by getting rid of the QAM shit completly and go to IPTV, but that requires a hardcore hardware upgrade that's expensive.

Beware trying to unite Spain starting in 1200. That shit is FUCKING HARD! Especially if you can't get the Pope to declare Crusades for you because every time you peel a county away from the Moors, they come right back. Getting your succession set right is a pain in the ass as well.

In, and hopefully lasting more than 3 weeks this year.

They don't even fully do that. Curve is supposed to be a "immersion" gimmick, and doesn't even do that well. You can go UHD if you want (I'd recommend waiting at least until Vizio drops theirs in the fall), but you're only getting the full benifit with the UHD players and discs. It'll be over a decade before we start getting UHD through service providers,so stick with regular HD stuff for now.

Short answer, Cristobal's answer. Long answer, Just about every network/TV studio just finished upgrading to 1080p30 kit, and that was really expensive to do. No way they're going to start doing kit upgrades across the board for a higher resolution now, they're going to wait until the current kit starts breaking down and goes officially End of Life, and even then, they'll stretch it out long as possible. Also, the codecs necessary to compress/decompress a 4000k video without it being massive and not crashing aren't out yet, and would require industry wide upgrades to equipment to use them anyway. That, and most cable/sattilite systems would have to do a massive overhaul of their QAM bands to carry the stations. So yeah, we're not getting UHD TV across the board anytime in the next decade. Shit, we technically still don't have HD across the board yet.

This. And he spent a good amout of time being touted as the "Worst Doctor" when he tried his ass off, but the stories weren't that good to begin with. Add in that he got sacked between seasons solely because Nathan-Turner/Grade didn't like him at all, which lead to Baker being the only Doctor now(since McGann finally got his scene) to not be present for his regeneration scene (McCoy was in a curly blonde wig during the opening teaser of the series premier). Considering how badly he did get shit on, its a testament to his character that he's so positive about being a former Doctor and is genuniely happy to appear in panels and get togethers and interact with Who Fans, something Eccelson should probably take a lesson from.

I'm sure it has something to do about Notre Dame,

I always contend that Colin got a shit deal during his season run.

I know when I was in high school, at the beginning of the season, they'd certify us at a hard lowest weight allowed. They basically weighted us, then used that, height, and BFP to determine the lowest weight class we were allowed to wrestle at. That all went to the State Commishion and if we tried to sneak in a class lower and we got caught, match foreited and an automatic 2 meet ban. But even in High School, we were doing whacked out shit to cut weight, most of which are unheard of now (like no water during practice), And doing that shit fucks you up horribly. I went *very* little food/water for 3 days before weigh in (which was 1 hour before meet start) and was in shit shape. Tried a gradual cut down over a month with steady diet/water and was 100% fine. I guess the moral is, competitors should know how to cut down and do it responsibility, so that it doesn't affect your performance.

"He's a LIIIIAAAARRR!!!!"

Doesn't Carrie Underwood sing it now anyway?

I know you hate MoS, but voting for LXG? That's just going too far.(says the guy that voted Jonah Hex over TDKR.)

I never saw Balde I, let alone Balde II, but I assume its Blade II and voted it anyway.

I agree totally with Fowler about B&R. And yeah, Jonah Hex wasn't that great, but I'll be damned if I vote Rises over anything save for Lantern.

We are going to be *SO* let down by whoever Missy ends up being, aren't we. Like, I'm pretty sure most of the theories we've batted around in this thread are going to be better than what we end up getting. Then again, I'm not sure anyone would've guessed that Bad Wolf was Rose merged with the TARDIS, so we could be suprised...

Uncharted 1 vs. Mass Effect 1 is a toss up. Uncharted 2 vs. Mass Effect 2 is an all out slug fest that could go either way depending on the day. 3 vs. 3 goes to Mass Effect because Uncharted 3 isn't as good as 2, and doesn't (so far, I'm only half-way through Uncharted 3) have the whole culmination of shit that happened in two previous games wrapping up. Basically, I didn't get as attached to the Uncharted characters as I did the Mass Effect characters.

Jeeze, the first part of that gif looked like the NBA with Rose not dribbling on that drive. The second half, I'm not sure if I'm that impressed with Rose's drive, or that appaled by Finland's lack of playing any Defense whatsoever.

Overall, absolutely. Individually, there are arguments to be had.
