While I definitely agree on the cool factor/street cred/however you want to put it (Maroon 5. Shudder), I’m genuinely curious how much revenue it generates for the NFL vs the game itself. I mean I’m far (FAR!) more inclined to get up to take a piss/take the dog out/go find more snacks during Maroon 5, but does that…

Good point, but I more meant the general sense - there’s usually a upswing in sales for performers afterwards and it generates publicity for potential tours, plus there’s that “Boycott her, she hates ‘murica” potential (though on second thought I don’t imagine many of those types of people would be buying her music…

Big respect for Rihanna here. That’s a lot of money and publicity she’s turning down to stand by her principles.

I’ve been a baseball (in general) fan for a long time, but I follow the Sox because they’re the local team. My thoughts on Valentine went like this:

Just one more reason I can’t wait for Gamestop to die.

Lump Sum. No guarantee of 15-20 years down the line payouts, you could be dead, the state could be bankrupt, there could be a global thermonuclear war (exaggerating, I’m not really the end of the world type, but you get my point).

I absolutely love the idea and the tech sounds worth the pricepoint to me, but ugh, that formfactor. I don’t think I could ever get used to the bud in cup design. But “moving your head or opening your mouth produces a really off-putting feeling” sounds like a total deal breaker to me.  Too bad. Maybe the next gen…

NBC doesn’t get called out on this enough, but folks, remember what network The Apprentice was on.

Some of these types of awful people see the phrase “peak whiteness” and goes “hold my beer.”

What in the....

What I absolutely fell in love with in BotW was that it felt like the Zelda game I wanted for 30 years, a remake of the *feel* of the scope and mystery of the original game I fell in love with as a little kid. “Here’s a stick (or a wooden sword, which lets face it, is basically a stick) and a mostly blank map and a…

This has been my model for quite a few years now. I buy maybe 3 or 4 titles a year tops when they first come out, generally those rare games that I absolutely have to play ASAP. The rest, yeah, maybe I’m not cutting edge in the know anymore, but wow does my wallet thank me. By the time I chunk thru a couple big games…

I have a strange, and tangentially related “endgame” for big titles like BoTW or Skyrim, etc.

This thing was an absolutely brilliant idea Sony gave up on way too soon. In a different world where Sony went whole hog into this (maybe repurposing Cell architecture? I’m no hardware guru, just spitballing here, but imagine a portable PS3 capable phone in 2012, 2013 instead of the halfhearted Vita 3g), might be a…

At the point it becomes work (I can’t play what I want with my friend, like a multiplayer game because I have to keep my record), is the time it stops being fun and maybe time to quit, IMO.

Yeah, I was cool with it til I got to that point too. Time to put down the controller and log onto Indeed (or whatever the Bahrain version of it is) and work on those real life achievements for a bit. 

Take your upvote you monster

Maybe you should focus working on your own literary comprehension skills, since as i pointed out in my previous post, I was answering the question you asked.

Uhm, you were obviously, since I replied to the question in parentheses in your post. I fail to see how Sony is doing anything wrong here, they are doing what they feel is right for their platform.

That guy’s my newest hero.
