Um, they just did that (on PSN anyway.)

Marvel Ultimate Alliance (both games), Deadpool, and UMvsC3 were all put back on PSN recently. Not sure if they are Ps4 only or not, but it’s not like you couldn’t just buy any/all of them on disk for Ps3 anyway...

Well, that’s pretty much what Disney Infinity 2 and 3 are... Albeit, with a whole lot of extra money to get all the characters. Wicked Solid game though, especially DI3. Too bad it went extinct.

Hah, that’s not really “a” Hulk game as much as like, several of them...

The only one I remember actually having you turn into Banner was the (Ang Lee) “Hulk” movie tie-in game though, and that was seriously one the worst of the bunch. The Incredible Hulk (Ps3) does have you jump into subways to clear your wanted

Hah, uh, I’m assuming you must be referring to FF, but I haven’t played it... I’ve used this name since 1994, which I’m guessing by your general demeanor was before you were born chief.

And if you’re using VorpX as your basis for the “shittiness” of VR... it all makes perfect sense now. Let me try again:

“I played this

Not even close; that game is one I would easily put in your “tech demo” bin. Granted, it has some seriously impressive immersion, and even more impressive graphics (given the hardware), but I stopped playing that around day 2 with the system, and I’m a huge Batman fan to boot... 

Outside of Battlezone and (now) RE7, I

Never said it was a revolution, said you don’t know what you’re talking about, which you clearly don’t. It’s fine if you’re not into it, I take issue with you continuing to parrot this nonsense that there is no quality content available (on PsVR especially.) It’s simply not true; there are literally a solid dozen

“Lamborghinis are shitty. Oh, I’ve never driven one; in fact, I’ve never seen one in real life... Nobody I know has one, they’re way too expensive, and I saw a guy on Reddit say that they are shitty, so obviously, they must be shitty.”

(What this type of statement sounds like to me.)

I don’t expect it’s going to take off the way the early hype suggested, as it’s just too high a buy-in, and there is simply too much negative crap being parroted around (largely based on ignorance,) but there is a wealth of extremely solid content on most of the VR platforms... PsVR especially; which stands to reason

Hah, yeah... You clearly do not have one. It’s fine to not be interested in it, but I just don’t understand the mentality of going around actively criticizing a thing that you obviously know very little about. There is simply no truth to this “there’s just nothing” nonsense; I cannot even fathom where this myth is

No problem. Took me a while to figure that one out myself, but it’s increased the usefulness of it exponentially.

Huh, no kidding; that’s interesting. If I did that with my TV it would just go into standby mode... I can certainly do this with Alexa, but it has to go through a Harmony skill, not just the WeMo switch.  

No, that’s the trick, you can’t add another action. You just create a totally separate action using the same trigger phrase.

The problem there is that Amazon has yet to setup a way to add a sequence of events to an activity. IFTTT can do it though, it’s just not super-intuitive. You have to just keep assigning actions to the same trigger event.

For example, I created an IFTTT event called “Welcome Home” that I then tied several actions to,

Worth noting, Harmony also put out a second skill you can attach to Alexa a few weeks back, featuring a lot more actions. (Harmony: Optimized for Smart Home (blue icon)) Things that don’t work in the original one such as “Play/Pause”, adjusting volume, etc...

Hah, I don’t think so... I have the same setup. Pretty sure using that naming convention you’d have to say “Computer, On Screen, on”, or “Computer, turn on, On Screen”

You could just name it Screen, but then I think your options would just be “Computer, Screen, on”, or “Computer, turn on, Screen.”

You could use IFTTT

How would toggling the power outlet turn a tv on? I have several WeMo switches; they are literally just like flipping the on/off button of a powerstrip. I don’t follow how that could turn on a TV, unless it’s from 1978 and still has knobs...

I have analog devices attached to mine that can remain in the on position

Some things are just novelty, like telling it to pause a movie, (versus just pushing pause on the remote), but having the power of an automated assistant, as well as just all the information on the internet at your beck and call, anywhere in your house... simply huge. I constantly ask it for weather or traffic

Fair enough, but I think the typical consumer was done with physical media a few years ago and are no longer really a part of this conversation. So, it seems strange to me for someone to cite Blu-Ray as some barely there incremental step-up in tech/quality. For the people who do still buy media, it was a pretty

Was just scrolling through to make the same point.

Saying “first” implies a firefight. There was no fight; Han straight up murdered a guy. THAT is the change, not the order of shots.... I always find it so strange that people willing to even engage in this argument don’t always start it with that point.

I can assure you, BluRay is not “just another disk” for all of us; it’s a matter of your hardware. Dvd can not carry 7.1 audio, Stereo 3D, or a native 1080p picture, and all of those things are colossally important to me.

I have a 152" screen... DVDs look like you’re watching them through a fish tank when displayed at
