If it was just a sci fi movie about boosting brain power, I'd be in. But every time the commercial came on spouting the old myth about humans not using much of their brain, it just turned me off more and more.

that's indeed quite a limited list
haha seems like I overhyped myself.. was kinda looking forward to a nVidia Shield.. maybe not for now. when there's no HDMI out.. how do we connect to the TV (referring to the VivoTab) memopad is Android right?
kinda considered the Surface Pro but the price... lol. but connecting the DS4 to Windows 8.1 tablets seem easier than the Shield.
Movies like that gotta have some gimmick to draw the audience in. I don't think most people would go see a movie with the tag line "what happen when you consume an excess amount of highly experimental drug?"
But "What if you can use 100% of your brain?"
I know it might not be scientifically correct. But movies like this is when you just have to ironically turn off your brain and enjoy the ride.
Also anyone here have a Surface Pro 3? Those commercials are making me wish I have one. But damn $1000...
i thought this would never happen to me, but it finally did. i bought a game i already owned
Well, seeing the nature of it(a key from GMG), i'm giving it away here. I doubt i could manage to refund it.
Goddammit. I just did the exact same, with the same game. Well here's my second copy then:

Well the thing is the SHIELD is one of the few devices advertising streaming and it will get a cloud streaming service later on I think. But In Home Streaming was brilliant the moment it came out and I don't think there really is an answer or competitor to it.
No idea how you'd get the picture to a TV when a HDMI (or any video for that matter) output isn't available without having to stream it again from the table which is going to be another weak link in the latency chain.
I picked up a 1st run Surface Pro for in and around £400 (with a few discounts vouchers here and there) and pretty much anything you can connect to your regular PC works exactly the same. Should be the same with other Windows tablets and most have Bluetooth. Only limiting factor is the lack of USB ports but pretty much everything on the market has the problem so you need to take advantage of the connectivity options available (or USB hubs if the devices don't need that much power).

Maybe my English is failing me but that sounds like there's still a chance for the winter sale.
Look in the Steam forum and read some negative reviews. Crashes aren't uncommon.
25% is way too much, that would be 250GB. :O Maybe this was true years ago when the controllers were rubbish, nowadays not so much. Samsung Magician has an 'Overprovisioning' option that recommends 10% and we know manufacturers always play it safe (they also want to sell more drives) so yeah, 25% is totally unnecessary.

Please consult Under the Skin for a) A much, much better movie b) Your naked ScarJo needs

Best thing are the people who believe that as fact. Its like with Dan Brown movies, they somehow don't get the difference between entertainment and documentary.

"Did you know the average running speed of a human being is 3 miles per hour?"
"What happens when she hits 30 mph?"
"...We don't know."

True, but into darkness.....
guess I'll really just put the Shield aside. haha. shall see if I can still get a good Win8.1 tablet.
thanks so much for all the information! really appreciate it!
My Ningen!
With concrete shoes on. I think my average walking speed is about 4. My local pub is 2 miles from my front door takes me half an hour there, granted takes me about 45 mins to an hours on the way back.
No probs. The IHS thread here is packed to the gills with info, different hardware on both ends and a few tablet users as well that will have a lot more useful info than I can give alone.

They went too far with plot devices.
"You gonna see some serious shit."
*back to the future theme*
Next Star Trek will be a beast. Directed and written by Roberto Orci. Can't wait!

If by plot devices you mean shitting on the star trek franchise, ok.

In a way, yes, that transporter device rendered the entire fleet obsolete.
for some weird reason I can't have anything done during sales, I can't even normally play games, I rummage through sites and deals and contemplate buying games I shouldn't be buying, because Xmas is soon and I already spent insane amounts of money.
gosh, I so dislike autumn sales, so deeply!
edited: new StarTrek movies suck, both, plain and simple!

The dilemma I face all year round. Also and I'm still doing the FFXIII-2 recommendation for next months OT? Cobbled something together last night just in case.

We're talking about the most recent game....right? Please tell me that's what you mean.
Useless factoid but on this page (at time of counting) there are a total of 29 different posters with 16 having their avatar point to the left, 7 to the right, 4 central and 2 no avatar at all.
And if the JJ Star Trek films have brought us anything it's the hilariously bad tie in game. Although less funny now some of the bugs have been stamped out.

Sorta OT, but this is too cool not to mention, Super Wolfenstein 3D, it's a "realistic" take on Wolf 3D with some really dumb physics.

That looks surprisingly entertaining!

I'm not aware of any good star trek games. But the TNG series has some of the best episodes I've seen in any TV series, mostly thanks to patrick stewart
oh sorry, I already submitted it!
you should have told me faster, you know
you want me to unfriend you or something?!

Star Trek Voyager is the best Star Trek

Like Elite Force 1 and 2, A Final Unity, 25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites or Starfleet Command to name only a few? You're taking the piss but as far as licensed games go ST's track record isn't that bad.

Playing Sonic Adventure DX after all these years (I owned the original Dreamcast version) and it didn't age well, the camera is horrible and for some reason the physics goes bonkers mostly of the time I don't remember it being this bad back in the day but maybe it's the nostalgia goggles, at least the music still is good and I have the caos garden.

Its why I refuse to replay adventure 1 and 2. Im sure they aged terribly but boy when I played them on the gamecube they were good (especially 2, that one was freaking awesome)
Yeah I was super into 2 Battle back in the day but when I replayed it on PC some years ago I bailed the fuck out the second I reached Pumpkin Hill
Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force.
how have you bought it? it doesn't even let me to add it to the cart, not for your region or something, even if there is no word about it being locked on the store page.
