    Xbox One, lolwut. I have solid Internet, but I can clearly see where people could get pissed. I go to other friends' houses all the time with games of my own to play over there and visa versa, and this really makes that unfeasible nor comfortable. What was Microsoft thinking? As long as Sony doesn't pull this kind of garbage..... Xbox1, for the TV obsessed, friendless, and blind consumer in all of us. Even apple doesn't do this kind of stuff...

    So, I just pre ordered the last of us. Anyone else ridiculously excited for this game like I am? : D

    Very unfortunate news. I really hope this doesn't hinder the amazing Oculus Rift VR project that they started, and was beginning to gain momentum. http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/06/02/oculus-rift-co-founder-killed-as-bystander-in-police-chase/

    I have sennheiser hd 598 headphones, which are super flat, so I kinda liked the added bass boost.

    I have the white/black, and you'Dr right. After a day of use, very few prints on the aluminum. Have you tried the beats audio chip/boomsound yet?

    http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/05/31/xbox-one-vs-ps4-the-results-ign-versus Pretty good versus done by ign. Honestly, none of that surprised me based on the overall reactions after the xbox1 reveal, but we'll see if things change post E3. I stand firm for ps4, but I honestly thought the Xbox one controller would win in the individual category, since it looks rock solid.

    Sorry, I meant "if I had the courage to go caseless". And on that note, you've inspired me to take off that bloody case. I HATE cases, but more than damage, fingerprints irk me. Time to get rid of that phobia

    So, rumors have it that HTC will be giving One purchasers the option to sswitch to stock android upon the release of the Nexus edition of the One. Take that with a grain of salt of course, but I'll seriously consider a switch if iffered. Loving the one so far by the way, very smooth switch from iPhone. Just wish u had the courage to go ceaseless

    Yeah, I knew you could do it with phones, but the fact that you can switch a phone contract to a tablet is what really surprised me. But I guess it's really a one time deal since buying a $630 iPad to get a new phone wouldn't be very economically feasible every time eh? And I was actually the opposite of you. I went in with the intent of getting a galaxy s4, but switched to the One in the last minute. Since I've been used to iPhones as my main drivers, the plastic nature of the s4 felt weird to me, especially as a premium flagship phone. On the other hand, the one's beauty easily beat out even the iphone in my eyes. Secondly, the fun features of the S4 (air gesture, smart pause, etc. etc. etc.) stopped being fun almost a few minutes after I tried them in the store. I'm sure they'd be useful to others though. Although I also did like the deep blacks and great saturation of that Samsung AMOLED screen (I'm a sucker for pentile oled displays), something about that crystal clear LCD display of the HTC One won me over. It was mesmerizing to say the least (and I could care less about ppi advantages, etc.). This is gonna sound corny, but the best way to describe it is like drinking in a glass of ice cold water, cept only for your eyes (lolwut). I was happy to see that the HTC One stock browser had flash support, which the S4 was missing, although I'm sure you could get that elsewhere if need be. The last thing to win me over on the One was the beats audio (not boomsound, which I will rarely use). I know Beats headphones are harped on as overpriced (which I agree), but the beats audio chip in the HTC One was awesome (our AT&T store had some headphones we could try out with it). But like I said, I'm sure people have their uses with the S4 as well. Since you're a nexus fan, why not give the vanilla android S4 announced during google I/O a shot?

    So, a little update to the phone convo I had above. I did in fact get my phone switched (to an HTC One from an iPhone 5), and I got to purchase the phone for a grand total of $200 (so, I didn't have to pay the full price, even though I'm only 7 months into contract). I also got to keep the iPhone 5, which I do plan to eventually sell. How I did it involves a weird loophole the guy at the AT&T store helped me with though (really nice guy, took him nearly an hour to do it all). I had an LTE 4th gen iPad that was tied to my current family plan, but it was being paid for month to month, not on contract. The guy at the shop did a weird stint and shifted the iPhone 5 contract to the LTE iPad (binding me to pay 10 bucks a month for the next yearish or so, but I was already going to do that). That removed the iPhone 5 from my account and contract, and allowed me to purchase an HTC One as an open new line for 200 bucks. Weird eh?

    I suggest all you guys give IGN's comments section regarding the reveal a good read. Lot of hate, lot of rage, and whole lot of fun

    after that presentation, I'm fairly sure that Sony has my money at this point. Nothing in that presentation really captivated me, and in my opinion, they focused waaaaay to much on TV services and other social features rather than gameplay. I actually think that the PS4 presentation was done a little better, focusing on what matters more: games (personal opinion of course)

    Like the guys above, I'm also ridiculously interested in Attack on Titan. I usually only stick to anime, but the series is done so well that I can't hold myself back and have started to read the manga to keep going! Wow, been a while since I've been that into a series. Good stuff

    I might get vehement hate from all the purists, but I'm excited for the next gen http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/04/30/call-of-duty-ghosts-title-release-date-confirmed

    My excitement levels for this movie just keep going up. Needless to say, I hope this doesn't become a 'splosion fest like many other giant mech movies....

    I don't know what I just watched.....just, what happened?
  17. Archer
    Well said friend, that is quite the truth eh?

    The past few years, I was fairly excited about collecting Macross toys for a lot of reasons, engineering and simple "cool factor" being one of them. I don't know about you guys though, but nowadays, I really am losing most of my interest in collecting macross toys. Everytime a new release (which are now exclusive to Bandai thanks to Yamato dying on us) pops up, I used to freak out and get excited, but now, it's been reduced to a "meh". Maybe it's because of Bandai's stupid ordering shenanigans, or maybe its just me getting bored of a phase of life I need to move on from. Have you guys ever gotten redonkulously bored with macross? Albeit, I probably shouldn't be asking this on a macross dedicated thread

    I'd LOVE to see VR implemented. Traditional controllers are fun and all, but innovation is key! And let's be honest, sitting in a dark room, blazing at the keyboard won't do you nearly as much good as if you are running around and "experiencing" the game per say. Losing weight isn't a bad thing And I don't think it looks moronic none the least! Maybe it's just me though. I don't have much time anymore these days to play videogames (turned on the Xbox a grand total of three times this year, one of those times being to finish Bioshock Infinite in the total of a weekend free of school work). At least with this, I might able to pass off video games as my daily running routine

    +++++++1 It shouldn't be a shocker that people like different things, cuz, you know, there's 7 billion of us.....

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but I've been following the Oculus Rift's development like a hawk (was half-tempted to buy a dev kit as well, but I found out it wasn't compatible with glasses ) This addition looks really cool as well. We're literally getting super close to legit VR

    I just remembered something. Do you guys remember that one contest that Sunrise (or maybe it was Bandai?) had where individuals would vote for mobile suits that could potentially make it to a Gundam Unicorn episode. I could have sworn that it was either the acguy or Zeta Plus that won (I think I voted for the zeta plus). Did this ever happen (i.e. did they ever include those mobile suits in the actual episode), or was it just a bust..?
  23. Archer
    Yeah, the whole man + plane = "supah new evolved being" won't fly with the general audience

    All I can say is.....lolwut? Yukikaze seems really left-field for animes that they could have adapted. I understand that it makes some sense with Top-Gun being a huge hit for the guy, but honestly, who really outside of the anime fighter jet fandom has heard of Yukikaze? Meh, I'm being a pessimist, obviously I'll watch

    After Psycho-Pass, my expectations for this series have only risen
