I like 3D to. I guess I never got the memo about everyone liking the same things.
LOL Darkest did you really repost that for the new page.

Wasn't paying attention to the post count, just realized it made more sense in a new post.
Seriously though, do you not notice input lag? It has to be horrifically bad if you're keeping those settings on.

Oh I thought you wanted to make sure that it got seen or something.
Edit: I play online shooters almost exclusively now and I dont notice any input lag at all. As cool as it looks if it made me do worse then I wouldnt do it.

Q&A with the Robot, the Myth, the Legend; Ted Thompson
What happened here? How is that the first thing he thinks of when he's asked about success? Someone got to him and re-calibrated his humanity chip. We're fucked!

I could be wrong if that stuff has gotten dramatically better in the past couple of years but I'm guessing if you played an online shooter on a good plasma set or even an LCD without all those features it would be life altering. It's one of those things that you might not notice until you have something to compare it with, but once you do it is impossible to go back.

I read a thread on gaf about the true motion stuff when I first got the TV and they talked about input lag and I have tried it with it both off and on and I dont notice a different. I also have 2 TV's next together and the 2nd TV doesnt have it at all and I dont notice a difference when playing on it. I just got my TV last year so maybe it has gotten a lot better because people in the gaf thread were saying it made games unplayable and that isnt my experience at all.
He and Donald Driver were best buds, Ted even gave Donald a charity season. Then Donald ripped his heart out and shat it the hole. Ted is just a ship adrift on the ocean of mournful regret and has yet to regain his bearings. That's why Kuhnt was given a roster spot before anyone even reported for camp. The Android learned emotions and the Packers are doomed.
Sucks it had to happen over a jilted lover and not the attempted cover up and concealment of a rampaging murderous crack head but the Patriots have always had a flair for failing more spectacularly than most.
I usually just get behind someone speeding and follow them.
The state troopers are looking for the guy that sticks out in the left lane, you don't want to be that guy. I also have never been pulled for speeding in the right lane. There is nothing to protect me while I am in the right lane, but it seems to have worked for the past 15 years. Only got one ticket in that time and that was when I was driving in northern PA in the middle of fucking nowhere. The speed limits on that shit road changed seemingly every half mile and I was doing 50 in a 35 (was previously 50 not too long before that). I talked the cop into just giving me a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt and something else so it was non-moving and did not give me any points.
Always try and talk the cop down into a non-moving violation. Most of them are decent guys and will do it unless you have a huge record of speeding tickets, then you are fucked.
Madden 25, Phil Simms, and Punting

Great read, thanks for posting. I think we will all look back ten years from now and laugh about how much coaches punted.
And Phil Simms is definitely adamant about you punting from near midfield on fourth down. I got the same feeling as the writer, the game is trying hard to get people to play Madden more realistically (even if it may be a statistically dumber decision).
Most people don't hate life like you do.
I haven't played in years, but in the OG XBOX (can't remember the name of their football game) days, going for it on 4th down was considered "cheese" by most people. Is it still the same when playing online?

People don't like driving? One of the simple pleasures in life is going out to the country on a weekend and going for a relaxing drive.

I usually don't play online but I think that is still the case. Like the article said, the game tries very hard to coerce you into punting on typical fourth down situations but you can still go for it if you want to.
The thing is it really is smarter to go for a fourth and short near midfield most of the time instead of punting. The same is most likely true in the real NFL, it's just too risky because the stakes are so high.
You gonna get this D week 1 and you know it.
I am just worried I am going to miss the live game due to a baseball tournament I am probably entered in...unless my team loses first round...

You gonna get this D
ion Jordan if his stupid shoulder would hurry up and heal.
Semi-related note, I have Trent Truck in a FF league and I don't know if I should start him Week 1. It's between him and David Wilson. I just hate starting people against the Dolphins but he will probably have a decent game...

Yeah, that's 170000 per person. Not a huge amount, it seems to me.
Futurevoid

NFL has also agreed to pay all court-approved lawyer fees for the players. So none of that 170k needs to be used to pay for lawyers, etc.
haha okay this makes more sense, b/c I was thinking that number was a little low, but with bionic's people not leeching their 25% is better
edit: still seems low. the league can sell the Thursday night package and make that back+
edit2: Probably the biggest thing that has happened with football since unrestricted free agency

It amounts to about 24 million per team if you want to break it down that way. A pittance really when you look at the grand scheme of the business.
Especially when you take this into account:
EDIT: The complete release can be seen here:

Don't worry, he's only programmed for feelings during the week of the 4th preseason game.
I thought they could get killed. Like $2B, plus all the crap they covered up going public. This is such a win for them. Neuters that PBS thing. Takes a lot of the media's hand wringing about head injuries away. Maybe they will get a little less rabid about incidental head hits
Depends on how they split it. If everyone just gets their share and runs, then it makes no sense. If they put it in a fund and give it to the people who actually need it, then it should be fine.

Reading the features list for GTAV, and I can't help but ask "what's the catch?" Game is so goddamn ambitious that I can't imagine them hitting every single feature on point.

I don't know their business or DLC strategy but I'd bet everyone on the business end of things would lobby for it to never be put out.
My bet it's out simultaneously with next-gen October 2014.
NHLPA sues the NHL. Bettman closes down the league right before Leafs to play for the cup.
Wut? How would they expect people to double dip?
They built the best Tennis game in the world, and built a city around it.
Is it bad that this is what I might be most looking forward to playing online?

GTA 4's PC version came a good 8 months or so after, wouldn't be surprised if GTA 5 is around the same amount of time.
I'm highly interested in how well that and the Golf game is. How many holes, clubs, and Stripper Caddies are available.
Hell, the bicycle racing looked interesting. As was the airplane and jetski (which means boats too) racing.

Hurrah! All that fighting over that amount of money?
Look I know you are at an all time low with buttfumble forever ingrained in our memories but no need to take it out on me brah.
I'm not your enemy.
I just follow the team that allowed you to draft Sanchez and lead to the buttfumble is all.
