You really don't have any sense of schadenfreude, eh? I don't let console wars or any of that irk me I guess, it's mostly just entertainment and has little to no effect in the real world. I mean there is some degree of mindshare coming off forums, but it's not really reaching anyone out there. Does Billy's mom give a shit if Call of Duty ghosts is 720p on the Xbone? Of course not, and neither does Billy. It's actually a little absurd how much emotionally invested raging goes on when you take a look back and realize that nobody gives a shit but even a small fraction of enthusiasts, let alone gamers

I'm aware. Just can't bother to read it anymore because some people really are bout that pixel counting life, especially when every thread is infested with it now. It's good in very small doses like 4chan.
The thirst for native resolution to go up while IQ is still dragging is the absolute most confusing to me. Not even gonna go into that tho.
Forza 2 still my favorite racer. Played that damn game for eternity. Need for Speed Underground 2 gives it competition though. Back when open world street racers was a novel concept in a game, I fucking loved playing through NFSU2 and pimping out all my cars.

Because last gen, a solid amount of resources were allocated to detail. Arguably, that was the focus of last gen from a development perspective as far as graphics go. Back in 2005/6, nobody paid much attention to the people complaining about 1080p; a lot of people were in the process of getting their first HD equipment and the only option available to a lot more price conscious people was 720p. But now? Prices have fallen, new consoles, 1080 is king and the average gamer probably feels that details are fine now. Generally speaking though.... I think it would be cool if devs started to at least consider gunning for 1080p. It's 2013.
edit: Midnight Club was piff.
Yeah I liked Midnight Club 3 a lot too, although I found it irritating how many times I'd be almost done with a race and then take one wrong turn and have to do the whole damn thing over again. I tried the new Midnight Club game recently and it's seriously just MC3 with different cars. Fucking series hasn't evolved one bit since part 3.

exactly what im talkin bout...no gen of playstation had a great launch lineup for me (PS3 was terrible) but at least in the past there was a tekken tag or something, i got nothing this go around. Resogun is prolly gonna be my only purchase; i just cant fuck with Knack's art style & the shape its taking, no matter how awesome Cerny is.
XB1 has a much better lineup for my tastes but its $100 more and looking like a goddamn mess so nuts to that. god i hope The Evil Within shows up Q1 or 2 in 2014 so my shit doesnt collect dust like PS3 did till Uncharted dropped.

Whos that 3rd dude? Hodgy, Leftbrain, then who? Is it Domo? Is he considered apart of Mellowhype now?
Edit: Wait wait wait, is Mellowhigh different from Mellowhype? Did they change the name?
It's domo
Hodgy Beats + Leftbrain = MellowHigh
Hodgy Beats + Leftbrain + Domo Genesis = MellowHigh

Was watching the Grantland preview for the Golden State Warriors, and Jalen Rose gave a shout out to the old KMEL Summer Jam concerts from the early 90s. Talk about a nostalgia hit, those shows were among some of the best ever.
I still remember Ice Cube's first major solo live performance post-NWA, they let that shit run uncensored on the air. Was absolutely mindblowing at the time. Run DMC, Boyz II Men, Public Enemy, TLC, Naughty By Nature, A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, EPMD, Roger & Zapp, Rodney O and Joe Cooley, Tupac, Too Short...they don't have concerts like that anymore.

lol. Slightly losing control of his accent. He really doesn't give a single fuck this season. OT, but I don't think I've seen a show jump so many sharks in single episodes as Sons. The amount of fuckery is unparalleled.
SOA dove headfirst into the fuckery this season and I love it.
