XBOX INXS

Mario Odyssey sure does have a timer. It’s your alarm to wake up when you’ve been playing all night and didn’t realize it.

Yea I looked again and saw that. For some reason I just assumed it said 1500x m/s.

Couldn’t you just take the derivative of the velocity to get the acceleration though? (Edit: I see there’s not enough information after looking at it again.)

I’m partial to the “random” option where you get a new outfit every time you die.

When my family got cable for the first time this and some Rod Stewart song were all that played on VH1. (The music videos.) I remember thinking this song was silly and Weird AL should parody it.

BAH!! What about us few who have Heart of the Swarm but NOT Legacy of the Void!!

Your comment was a roller coaster for me. It turned from

approval because the game made me smiles a few times and I thought it was a bit easy at first

into

rage that you were stupid and didn’t do anything after the last boss

into

smiles that you did

Fair enough!

I thought a DVD was 4.7 gigs? I haven’t burned a DVD in a long time so I don’t remember. ...google/binging......... 4.7 gigs is a single layer DVD, but they had double layers almost at the inception of DVDs. So YES you’re right!

Right. Read the Thread. I addressed that.

I was more surprised that ninty’s first party games were so small. Mario Odyssey less than 6 gigs!

Interesting information! My qualm isn’t with the technology or its usefulness though. It’s with using “HD” as the buzzword for it.

That’s the original thoughts I had about it. That it meant “more precise” or “higher clarity.” But in your example HD audio is a marketing term coined for High Resolution Audio. Which is kind of my original point. Marketing HD seems to be a goofy buzzword. Little confusing to say the least.

Right. Marketing is weird sometimes.

They’re clearly banking on the notion that the general populace thinks HD means “better” or “more advanced.” A definition I wasn’t clear on either.

(Also, I get that your post was a bit tongue in cheek. Reminds me of a certain scene from The Boondock Saints.)

My point is that HD doesn’t mean “better” or “more advanced” in every respect. It really only fits when talking about the optics of something so using it for “rumble” is kind of weird.

Well then that wouldn’t even be a metaphor because it would literally be cool as shit.

Wait. HD Rumble? I looked it up because I thought definition could mean “sharpness” or “clarity” for anything in general. Nope

Definition: Optics. sharpness of the image formed by an optical system.

I thought slapping “HD” on everything for your marketing buzzword went out of vogue?
