Be a use I can check my watch much much faster then I can check my phone. It's also a pain to pull out if your hands or full. Also every time you take out the phone you increase the chance of dropping it.

Not quite. Ellen is making fun of the fact that we used to read time from a watch on the wrist, moved to our cellphones and now are apparently back to to wristwatches.
I think wrist watches are quite useful. There are some moments in life where it's not possible to use a phone. When the battery is empty, when you can't use a phone in an area or when you're held hostage by some bank robbers who collect all cellphones and you just forgot your google glasses that day. But cellphone watches are silly in my opinion - unless you can use them as MP3 players. That would be kind of cool when you have long sleeves.

If they have an iWatch but no iPhone they might as well trade it in as apparently it won't function without one.
Not so sure about the Moto looking much better though and I just read an article that they use really old tech inside and downgraded the battery, runtime is about one day. Apple conveniently didn't mention theirs so it's probably bad too right now. It's just a weird product category and they need to slim these things down before you can wear one whithout earning strange looks.
I believe that is how it works.

i don't consider myself suikoden ppl -_-
it is a really good series tho
i dunno i thought agate was undoing so much good will it was hard to fall in love with anyone
except my anelace <3
yea they're pretty bad but at least in design they're headache inducing mindfuckers which i enjoy. nocturne in particular is fucking insane, which i like
yea i guess
i should just play fire emblem damnit
tbh my biggest srpg disappointment ever is front mission 5 being so fucking bad
i mean it might have to do with the fan translation being not so great but damn i hated the hell out of that game
good thing i sleep in the afternoons ~.~?
Me neither, especially if you have to carry around your phone with it to work. Imo that's a step back instead of forward.
And I especially expected more design-wise from Apple. Except for the Milanese Loop and Steel Link models they really don't look appealing to me. But we'll see. Looking forward to try one at least.
Sundials are too mainstream, you want the iAstrolabe.
No, yeah, I wasn't talking about features (also because I don't care enough to read about them more than what I need to make fun of them
).But the Moto 360 being round... it is so sleek, beautiful, future looking and most importantly, it could be mistaken for a normal watch.
The Apple one has this wannabe luxury vibe, I don't know, it makes me think of those early 2000s cell phones designed by some exclusive fashion company, like D&G or somehting, with like jewels encrusted, and they were supposed to be sold to rich women, but instead I've actually never see nor heard anyone using them.

Tabs are great for reading books, comics, and gaming mags like Gameinformer. As of late mine has been a life saver because my GPS conked out (my phone) so I've been using mine as a GPS. Like someone said, if you are gonna be out and want to surf the net it's better than lugging around a laptop.

I wonder if WatchGAF is all over the iWatch...
/looks
Nope.
As for me, I'm perfectly happy with my Swatch Touch. I'll never buy an Apple product anyway. Maybe someday when smartwatches aren't so thick I'll consider getting one.

Winamp 4 life
Even Pink Lady's? Surely not.
Winamp is dead. Long live foobar.
Well, and spotify.
Haha, I still use Winamp. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I like to occasionally plug this when this kind of topic comes up,have you ever played exit fate? if you aren't opposed to rpg maker games(although it does have it's own art at least) it's a pretty solid game that was heavily inspired by Suikoden(massive amount of possible party members,a castle that gets built up throughout the game,it even has an army combat thing pretty similar to Suikoden 2 etc,it was all made by one person too which is kinda cool),it's free and fairly long(I haven't played it in years but I wanna say....30ish hours maybe?)
here's a link to it

So @NeoGAFShitPosts is retiring because of what it deems to be bad bans from the admins lately. Ouch.

A-Train 9 Premium 3.0 should be arriving a month behind schedule.
Train Fever's giving this game and others like it plenty to worry about. I hope A-Train: City Simulator does well for Natsume and Artdink, what with the lack of sim-games for that platform.Doc Clarke said:
I'll wait until next week to see what games are added to the new humble bundle. The only games I don't have are Luftrausers, Gone Home and Prison Architect, none of which are must have for me at this time. Plus I have to see if I can squeeze some more purchases on DMM on my budget.
The first tier though is damn good. Gunpoint, Hammerwatch and Steamworld Dig are awesome games, short and to the point with addicting gameplay (Steamworld Dig might feel repetitive to some, but i loved all that digging).

It is! And it gets a lot of compliments. They're a little pricey, but I don't mind.
I tried. Had to register, to register without handing them your credit card info you apparently have to "buy" something free from iTunes. I did that, started the registeration process. They asked TWO different e-mail addresses from me, didn't accept "U2" as an answer to one of their security questions because some Apple engineer decided the answers need to be longer than that. Finally got through the registration process and it said activation details were sent to my e-mail address. Sure enough, they sent them to my SECONDARY e-mail address I gave them. I clicked activate, they asked my username&password, apparently my username didn't exist. Gave it 10 minutes, finally my username blinked into existence and I got through that part. Then they asked me to give my account details again to process my "forgot account information" request?! Fair enough, gave them the info again. Nothing happened but I switched back to iTunes and finally logged in. I went into albums, tried downloading, it asked me to login again which I did, and at that point iTunes decided I need to activate my account so they sent activation details to my primary e-mail address. That was two hours ago, nothing has happened. I've re-requested the activation e-mail couple of times. Also I can't do anything in iTunes before I get that e-mail.
Apple is so easy and fun. Got the album via other means, thanks.
Oh no, I love this twitter posts. What happened? Are there some stories of worth or is this a general thing.
edit: Oh, Tenumi was the beginning of the end.
Hah, that was my exact thought when I saw that thread. Granted, I haven't been a fan of a lot of their newer stuff. Still, screw itunes.
Damn, NeoGAFShitPosts is calling it quits. We're all safe to post terrible things without fear of public humiliation!
You didn't even get to the bit where iTunes hitches constantly and is completely unusable.

The shape isn't the problem imo, it's the thickness. We'll eventually get there.

Is steam acting up for anyone else? Keeps freezing and "pasting" itself to the desktop and refusing to shut down via task manager. Might be able to get it shut with command prompt but I obviously shouldn't have to do that.

Bought Hack N Slash with card money, too bad it has no cards or achievements
No.
what a bad shop
Well fuck, that site could easily be a viral ad for an upcoming Ace Patrol / Hotline Miami / Watch Dogs spinoff.
Re-posting for visibility since people are too hyped about iwatch.
I was thinking about installing it today. Is it scary? I can't handle scary games. ;w;

Wow, uh, i'm a little scared to speak my mind on that, but uh, a permaban for that on Tenumi? Yeah...
Back on-topic, pretty pumped to have a reason to finish Typing of the Dead: Overkill since it has Playfire Rewards this week
that looks pretty cool actually
dunno if i want to dive in another turn based jrpg just this minute tho
but yeah the castle building thing is actually one of my favorite gameplay "thingies" ever. it's not really a mechanic or anything, it's just a cool thing i wish more games did

Sorry if this seems redundant. =P
Those look like the wristwatch equivalent of the 80's brick cellphone. Ugh. Just way too big and clunky, especially for something you'd be wearing on your wrist. Not that any of this is going to stop the status-conscious Apple legions from buying them in droves. -_-
There's a few jump scares but I personally wouldn't call it scary. If anything the story detracts from the solid mechanics of the game.
I wonder if someone creates a thread regarding the quitting of @NeoGAFShitPosts where we can discuss these issues. I would love to see some real talking about the overall situation.
Creepy little girl.
