I hate the current state of the industry. How hard is it to get a complete and pure experience? I feel like I’m constantly being nickled and dimed. There doesn’t seem to be a game that isn’t riddled with microtransactions, aggressive DLC, episodic and/or exclusive content, in game ads etc etc. Whether it’s Destiny,…

I think this article overlooked one of Plex’s biggest features... ‘Friends’. You covered how with Plex you can watch anything from any device, anywhere, even when not at home, all transcoded in real time if necessary. But the crazy thing is, so can anyone I’m friends with. All they have to do is be friends with me on…

Well most people don’t run the server software on every machine they have, they usually have a dedicated device or a desktop PC that’s on all the time to run their Plex servers. This not only possible, but easy because of Plex’s remote play features. That’s why lots of people run them off of low-medium power NAS’s.…

For the more tech inclined. This is probably the best answer. Use Kodi for the ‘flagship’ setup, like a home theater, and Plex for everything else.

Logitech K400. Perfect living room keyboard/mouse combo IMO. Batteries also last forever.

Well yeah but it’s no fun to play online shooters on PC with a controller. I play most single player games on PC with a controller, but for MP, if I want to be close to decent, you need a keyboard and mouse.

As someone who sucks with mouse and keyboard. This is great news. The game looks fantastic and I’ve been watching nothing but let’s play of it for the last week or so. I don’t even watch let’s play videos...

Everyone craps on the first game but I think it had the best story and I like the fact the the game was self contained on an island. I have trouble relating to games that have me traveling all over the world for the sake of changing environments.

I’m not surprised. I remember see ‘12 Tales: Conquer 64’ listed as TBA under Nintendo Power’s upcoming game release lists for years. It finally came out at the end of the N64’s lifecycle as the M rated ‘Conquer’s Bad Fur Day’. Not what people were expecting after Banjo, Donkey Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing, that’s for…

First thing I noticed too. Wow....

Yeah human progress would grind to a halt if everyone followed that attitude. The advancement of our society relies on people making things easier.

There is no reason for Split view to be excluded from the Ipad Air or the iPad Mini 2 or 3. The hardware is those devices are still great. If they support Slide Over and PIP on those older models, they can do Split View just fine. This is just about money. I don’t expect my less than two year old iPad to be obsolete…

Madden supported 8 players on the PS2 days with two multitaps. It was terrible. Lineman gong in all different directions on the snap, any scoring is purely luck and even trying to play just a receiver was a nightmare because you had to be so precise running routes or every pass would be intercepted.

Sometimes no minimap at all is a bit too much. Try turning off just GPS. I was left wondering why I knew my way around the PS2 GTA games so much better than IV and V. It wasn’t because they’re better, it’s because there was a minimap to orient you but you had to learn where the best and most efficient way around the…

No real nightmares. I’d like just like to walk into a gamestop, buy by game, and not have the clerk awkwardly inform me of every pre-order deal and promotion available on the planet. I’d feel more comfortable going in there, he’d feel more comfortable checking people out. It’s just a win win all around.

Harmony’s can interact with pretty much anything with an IR port and if you get and RF model, they can interact with those devices too in addition to IR. I’ve setup Harmony’s for use with Roku’s, AppleTVs, Xbox360 and Xbox One, all sorts of smart devices and settop boxes. The PS3 required a bluetooth adapter because…

The lack of a physical keypad on the Harmony Ultimates is a deal breaker for me and for most of my customers (I do home theater installation among other things) because it’s annoying to watch cable without a tactile number pad. For this reason, I’ve stuck to Harmony One’s, 900s and Harmony 650s recently because the…

Not true necessarily true. It depends on what type of equipment you have and how you have it setup up right now. I’ve programed Harmony Ones and Harmony 900s(Harmony One but with RF) to raise and lower a TV stand and close curtains when devices are turned on and off. But these devices already had their own remotes, I…

Ads are necessary for free and low cost apps though, so I rather have an ad API that apple manages and controls that they require developers to use if they want to use ads.
