I just finished getting caught up on the show last night and I have to say I love this show. Has so much potential, I just hope Fox doesn't pull a Firefly here and cancel it because this show is awesome. Have to say I was rather surprised by how low tech some of the weapons are. You'd think with synthetics around they'd be sporting much more powerful weapons then just your average, everyday guns. The tech they use though is pretty amazing. Like the spray mask that screws with cameras, was a rather nice touch. The one thing that sells me on this show though is the interactions between Dorian and John. On one hand you have a synthetic that was made to act and emulate like a human that is also trying to learn what it is to be human and you have a damaged cop who's basically relearning who he is (the first episode basically answers why he's relearning). Just my take on the premise of the show. Their banter is priceless (Dorian cracks me up, especially with the whole online dating profile thing. Damn near lost it when he did that). Out of all the synthetics the only ones that appear and act human are Dorian (DRN) and those sexbots from episode 2. The MX series AI is just to robotic to emulate a human, then again they were made to be just like that (no emotion, just logic based programming (acting a lot like Spock)). AI like Dorian's is far off but honestly it'd be amazing and creepy at the same time to meet something so human but know it's actually a synthetic emulating human behavior. If that happens we might just be living in a GitS universe (which would be totally awesome).

I think we hijacked many posts about BF4 XD I'm glad to hear this... the controls were so bad in BF3, I'd always try to roll in to a group of people in a straight line with the torch active hoping to luck out because if I had to turn or hit a bump it was all over.

When you get xp boosters from battle packs they are banked and you choose when to activate them by hitting the options button (formally known as start) and toggle to it with the stick... So if you find yourself in a good server with a good squad, you can activate it while you're on a hot streak to make the best of it. EDIT: I forgot he showed that in the second video. lol

Duke Nukem Forever was a bad game not (just) because it was outdated but because it wasn't better than Duke Nukem 3D. Duke Nukem 3D You had to explore the environment to get Key Cards Could carry lots of Guns Could Save Women Used a Scuba Tank (in story mode) Had a Jet Pack (in story mode) Was basically Duke Nuke 2 but as an FPS. Duke Nukem Forever Really linear Point A to Point B Could only carry 2 Guns Could only Mercy Kill Women (& play with alien wall boobs) Breathed bubble patches like Sonic The Hedgehog (in story mode) Didn't have a Jet Pack (in story mode) Was basically a half assed Duke Nukem 3D. *Edit* I'd also like to point out if making new games to old & probably forgotten franchises was universally a bad idea then the new XCom should've failed.

Boats were useless in just about any battlefield game ever. They were armed with one mini gun and were victimized by choppers and jets. Their only porpose was to get behind the enemy defending an objective by hugging the cost.... they finally addressed this and now boating is pretty fun and they can hold their own when attacked.... of course they still have those old useless boats from previous games in case you're feeling lucky or nostalgic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYYs3hluoNY

Portal is great but the concept and genre are completely different. I'm personally looking forward to HL3, and I'm pretty confident that I'll like it. Its just one of those games that has reached that point where its been so long since the last one, people are going to expect too much out of it. I don't think there are many people that can make a more beautiful game than DICE. Heck BF2 was amazing for its time. I really don't compare any game visually to BF. lol
