Isn't that a really old quote from Dez Bryant when he was a rookie and had to carry pads and pay for dinners or whatever?

I thought about going downstairs and lifting some weights, decided to watch a live stream of my brother playing in the Super Bowl in our Madden league instead.

I have not smoked MJ for at least two months. Though when I do, I am generally in a better mood overall most of the time. Most people do not know the freedoms of legal Mj buddy.
I'm pretty sure Dez doesn't pay tabs anymore..he's calling the shots apparently.
I was talking about the cigs brother

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
There was a poker OT, but activity pretty much died after the US shutdown the online scene on Black Friday.
Didn't the WSOP start this past week? I considered heading down for the employee event since I can actually afford the entry fee for that one but decided to just go next year.
Throw your filthy lies in the trash where Tom Brady's old skill resides!
Is that where you found that insult you dirty hippie?

I do a combination of things. Usually ~1 hr of Yoga in the morning, and 30-45 minutes of walking/running or spinning/biking in the evening. The Yoga has given me more functional strength than weightlifting ever did. The cardio keeps me in good shape. I know it sounds cliche, but you'll feel light years better both mentally and physically if you work out with consistency as Greg and Hunter also point out.
I feel like all consoles should be priced about 200$ and thats about the best value.
This 400-500$ bullshit is stupid and always was.

I would much rather have a $500 console that does more then just play games then a $200 one that only plays games.
I dunno. I have XB1 and PS4 at both $300, reduced from all sorts of trade in deals and sales of the old consoles. There are no games for them, but I'm pretty happy.
If I purchased the Wii U, I would be just flipping it instantly after I played whatever I got it for. There just aren't enough games I'm interested in, and the console doesn't do much else. The Nintendo magic has worn off for me. Outside that great new Zelda game and wanting to play Mario Golf, nada.

Id rather they quit pretending these things are do it all devices and then limit the hell out of what they can do because of all the DRM. Just give me a 200$ version out of the gate. None of this shit is worth 400$ whether I paid that much or not.
Dude, I got your message on Miiverse, I've been trying to get in some matches before I go out and have only been in like 4 the past 2hrs. I've been browsing and doing stuff while I just leave it on in the background, it sucks. Exiting and entering lobbies again hasn't done much either.
The online is so glorious when you play it, but so far I've spent more time waiting than playing it.
Today's kids don't even like home cooked meals anymore. They rather their parents blow cash on processed foods and stuff. I for one will not be having it!
I sincerely think all three gaming companies have completely lost any vision. Not a single one of them has anything new to offer of any excitement. Ive never been more bored with gaming than I am now.

Please don't give them any ideas. I don't want a tag.

Dang man, that sucks. I played online earlier and had no trouble finding a group right away. I played about 10 races straight with no issues. Maybe it's your router or something? I hope you get it figured out, the online is fun.
You already know my position on consoles.
The days of premium set top boxes are winding down. There isn't room in the space to support three constrained platforms when there are solutions that are "good enough" for 1/4 or 1/5 of the price. The fact that Microsoft thought they could own the media experience is just sheer foolishness - Google-level optimism.
The people that are looking for media-focused features aren't looking at gaming consoles. They're looking at a Roku, AppleTV, or the dozens of other cheap imitators - not to mention the number of TVs that have the basics (Netflix, Amazon) built-in.
The media features were only a value-add for your existing population. It was never going to open up the floodgates to non-gamers.
The fact that they expected Kinect Sports Rivals to move any sort of meter just shows how foolish the old Xbox guard was and hopefully Spencer isn't more of the same.

Holy shit, can't stop watching.
Socks and sandals, the look of shock on his face when the girl falls over, the juxtaposition of the excited screams with a face utterly devoid of emotion. That is art.
I'm going to buy a USB to ethernet port for my Wii U. Going wired usually fixes my connection issues.
I had a great one but misplaced it.
Its like at this point the "wow" factor which was barely there to begin with is completely gone. Visually consoles are a bore. Even PC visuals are mediocre looking stuff. Theres nothing amazing or groundbreaking or innovative or imaginative anymore. Its all just stale rehashes of the same thing over and over from all companies. I dont see water effects and cream my pants like some people. Its fucking water. Its supposed to behave like it does. I think I just hate gaming.

I wish more games would release in the summer
I feel like we've been waiting for AI improvements in games for about a decade at this point.
AC seemed to promise it, but it was nothing. Watch Dogs again promised it, and it is yet again nothing.

XB1 is out pacing 360 and Ps4 is destroying PS3 sales so far. People absolutely want new consoles and what they bring.
It's almost like the Wii was selling more than those two platform combined.
Wait, you're not Tom Penny!

Fancy some Battlefield or something in half an hour?
Yea I actually just got on, my buddy is coming over to play so we'll be switching off matches (he's bad) but I'll definitely squad up.

No worries, I played for the first time in months last night and I was useless. Will try and get a couple more people and make a full squad.
Watch Dogs is going to hold me over for a long time I think. I'm not even through with Chapter 1 and I'm at ~25 hours of just dicking around in Chicago and dispensing Justice.
Galaxy 2 is the best Mario game ever, I'd kill for an HD version without the waggle.
I hate you.
Mech I don't like plants or zombies, this is to be expected. Join me on fifa or battlefield.
Wow, this is one of your all-time smartest post.
But yea, idk why Summer is so barren when it comes to games. Kids are out of school and everything is more laxed. But no, lets wait till the fall comes around and cram them all in the same months.
MK8 came out at a great time though, and the PS4 has some sweet indie games.
What a shill.

Xbone is the truth. Navigating my entire game library instantly with voice commands is great and there's nothing like scoring a great goal on FIFA Clubs and hearing 3 or 4 voices simultaneously shout out "Xbox, record that!".

You clearly havnt played pvz if you don't like it.
MS still is in the red for games (they made a profit last gen but still not more than prior losses). Sony lost all their PS profits on the PS3 and PSP and are living check to check. And Nintendo lost the kids markets to crystal meth and smartphones and not enough people buy the 3DS despite it being the best console by a fucking mile.
I also feel so little variety in games these days outside of a few indie companies and the 3DS. Look how how different Luigis ghostbuster versus Fire Emblem and Mario3DS are. On PS4 and Bone all the big games are the same fucking shooting game and open world shit.
Good for you if you like it but no thanks for me!
I feel quite similar at the moment.

Jack Elway (John's son) was arrested Friday. Domestic violence. Pushed the woman out of a moving car.
