  1. Verizon 4g lte is better Internet than time warner. My phone gets 32 down and 10 up. O_O

      Thats not bad. With Sprint, I was averaging 187 MB of data usage a month because I never had a data connection almost anywhere. They can offer unlimited data easily when half their customers can never get a signal. -_-

      Eh, I can't really complain but I did enjoy having unlimited data. I used to tether off my phone in areas I couldn't get an internet connection on my laptop, can't do that anymore since 2 gigs would be used up in under 30 minutes most days. Ohwell, it's the price of not wanting to pay full price for my phone.

      I never had unlimited minutes before until I got on verizon. Sprint loved to screw me for overages for anything they could before I got a smart phone. At least Verizon has an app to track my data usage right on the phone.

  2. Now that I have this new phone, I have no idea how to use it. Anyone have any tips or tricks or favorite apps for the s4 or even any phone that uses the newest android OS?
  3. I doubt the sequel will ever be in the theaters near me. I'll have to find them online.
  4. Aside from the graphics looking a bit dated, this game looks crazy as hell. I hope it gets upgraded textures for a PS4 release.
  5. That review intrigues me. I've never seen The Raid 1. Unfortunately its not on Netflix for streaming. I'll watch it tho. Have you seen it dubbed or subtitled?
  6. I'm glad it'll be done soon. I have a feeling that he needs to get it finished before the actual ET landfill gets unearthed or the movie will loose some of its charm.
  7. I'm getting a new phone tomorrow and switching to Verizon.. finally. I'll be getting the Galaxy S4 because its $1 with a new contract.

      I'm using it right now. The screen is huge. :D I bought the best buy buy back program 2 years ago for $30 per phone. Along with the $50 gift card deal I signed up for back in Feb . I walked out with 2 phones with cases and over $280 in gift cards.

      Learn some features and teach them to me! The only thing I know to do is move my hand across the screen to tell me the time :P ... in fact, make a topic for it so S4 guys can compare/ share notes.

      Ok! I'm quite pleased with this phone. I even have a data connection in the breakroom at work.

  8. If they do go through with this movie, I hope its a completely different version of BSG and nothing like the 2000s series. Even being a remake of a remake, they should at least make it completely new and original, maybe even change the core plot around.
  9. I'm a bit confused about why Floki refused to invite Ragnar to his wedding. Even though they have grown apart from each other, I thought they were still good friends. And now he's thinking about teaming up with Horik.. hmm.. Rollo knows about Siggy's Horik sexcapades, he obviously wasn't pleased, but he also didn't tell her or ask her to stop. I figured Lagertha would be Earl and team up with Ragnar, I was pleased to see that play out. The blood eagle execution seemed a bit off, but I'm assuming its the best they could do with censorship. But then again.. The Walking Dead has decapitations and far worse on cable tv.
  10. 3 day weekend for me. Finally. I need some time off. x_x

      I envy you, I still have to wait another week >_<

      6 day weekend when I get off work tonight XD

      Very good. Enjoy that long weekend. :P

  11. I'll buy this again when it goes on sale so I'm not paying $60 for the same game again. If I didn't already buy it once, I'd buy it on launch tho. Its an amazing exclusive for Sony.
  12. I don't know about Internet Explorer or Chrome, but Firefox's build in spell check catches the majority of my typos. Ctrl, Alt, Del seems to work about the same for me on Win7. I only used it for the task manager tho when I needed to force close a program that seemed to locked up. Be glad you skipped windows Vista. What a mess that was. I used it on my dad's computer years ago.. I swear everything popped up a security prompt for something. "This program is trying to access the internet, is that ok?" *clicks ok* "Your program is trying to do exactly what you just told it to do, but this requires administrator privileges." *clicks ok* "Do you want to try this again with administrator privileges?" *clicks ok* "You do not have administrator privileges." Me: "wtf!? This is the only account on this piece of sh*t computer!" Yeah... Win 7 has some of those security prompts, but at least they make sense and don't bullsh*t you around.
  13. It could be an interesting movie, but I doubt it'll be anything as good as the actual series. I remember back in 2009 when a possible movie was first announced. It'll probably only be a matter of time before they shelf this idea again.
  14. The time limit can be down right frustrating. x_x I tried that steel soldier mission again and I don't know why, but the damn guy never came out onto the map until I had only 7 minutes left of the 20 minute timer. wtf. I could have beaten him but I ran out of time. I bought the hand canon.. It has only 2 bullets but it averages a minimum of 400+ to 900+ damage per shot with a random critical hit of 1900. I'll have to get better with my knife tho.. 2 shots don't help much against 3 enemies or small mandrakes jumping around.

      A visit in summer just to watch you play golf is all worth it.

      That sounds like a good plan. We can hit the range so we can work on your golf swing. :D

  15. I also have it on steam from that bundle. Any game in that bundle that was available on both steam and Origin gave us keys for both. There were 3 games in that bundle I think that were available as Origin only keys. I haven't tried playing Dead Space on Steam yet, but I'm pretty certain it doesn't require an Origin account to play.
  16. I never read any spoilers about cannibalism and I still don't know if thats the case. But my assumption is that is what the people of Terminus are. Everything I've seen from previous zombie shows, movies, games, previous seasons of the Walking Dead.. ammo is scarce. You make it last. These people herded those 4 with a hail storm of bullet fire at their feet. Everywhere they turned, the bullets where raining down forcing them to go exactly where they wanted them to be. To waste that much ammo instead of just using 4 bullets from a sniper rifle screams to me that they want them alive. But they don't even know who they are.. there are no other colonies of people like themselves that they probably know of, so there would be no reason to keep them alive for ransom or for trade. They must think random strangers are worth more than a crap load of ammo.Theres only a couple things they'd want people alive for. Slave labor or meat. And I didn't see any slave labor happening. Rick and the group also ran past some other containers with people in them screaming for help. My guess is cannibalism. It sure looks like Terminus has plenty of people too. I'm guessing they lure people in with all those signs and radio broadcasts of sanctuary. Then when the people come, they take their gear and eat them. This way all the Terminus people never have to leave their camp or put themselves in danger. Hell.. all the people blindly walking towards Terminus have to take care of the walkers in the area too just to get there. These guys probably don't even have to worry about a build up of walkers outside their fences because of it. The things that confuse me are this.. there were no walkers anywhere near Terminus. I'm sure people approaching have to take them out, but with no walker bodies anywhere that seems off. Also, how the f*ck where they making radio broadcasts? Where is their power coming from? Maybe they have some generators and they get gas to power them from the cars some people bring with them? As for Beth.. the car that pulled away had a cross looking symbol on the back window. Maybe it was some other preacher cult? Any religious organization in an apocalypse scenario seems horrible to me because I've watched Silent Hill.
  17. Thats a good point about Lagertha. Assuming she now has control of those lands and people now, she can easily forge an alliance with Ragnar and send people to start colonizing with him. I'm surprised Ragnar doesn't hold a grudge against Horik. Seeing as it was Horik that forced him to break the initial alliance with Jarl Borg, which in turn caused Ragnar's lands to be invaded.. which also lead to Ragnar returning and leaving his men behind.. and once he left, they all got slaughtered, but Horik survives. How convenient for Horik. All the losses Ragnar has had to deal with can all be traced back to that man. Perhaps with reinforcements from Lagertha, he won't see the need in having to keep Horik around anymore.
  18. I know we started discussing this game in the PS+ topic.. I've put about 3 hours into the game so far. I like that the game is a bit challenging and so retro. It takes no advantage of the PS4's capabilities at all except for the reload sound effects from the controller's speaker. How far is everyone in it? I've made it up to the Steel Soldier mission and moments before I beat the guy, he stomped on me and finished off my third life. I completely see his pattern now so I doubt I'll have a hard time with him again. What weapon are you currently using? I'm really enjoying the Artillery Jager with the large magazine and long range barrel (I can't remember which one). The amount of bullets that gun spits out easily makes up for the lower damage it causes. But it definitely needs that barrel for long range. The short range default is ridiculously short range. I'm thinking about trying out that hand cannon to see how effective I would be with too. Have any of you tried the different ammo that causes element damage? And I'm going to get that BBQ knife when I have the materials for it, just because it is nick named the "BBQ knife".
  19. I already had this game on my origin account from that EA humble bundle. I might get around to playing it someday when I get a better gaming PC. Or at least try it for an hour or so to see if I like it. I did that with Crysis 2. I didn't really care for that game. I'm surprised so many people seemed to like it.
  20. If you are used to using an old computer running windows xp.. then I'd recommend getting a new low end PC with Windows 7 and then use it for the foreseeable future until a potential Windows 9 comes out and then get a really good computer then. Even a low end computer with an I3 and 4 gb of ram running windows 7 is significantly better than my old windows XP system right now. I don't think you'd need an HD monitor. As long as the new computer has the standard monitor connection, the PC should auto recognize it and work fine. My laptop screen is HD. I can also plug it into HDTV with an HDMI cable and it has the standard VGA plug. I haven't tested that particular connection yet, but it should have no problem running on an older style monitor or the crappy LCD non HD one I have.
  21. I hope Windows 8.1 is much much better than Windows 8. I troubleshooted some network issues for a relative and I hated the operating system. I don't understand how it is supposed to be more user friendly, when it down right frustrated the hell out of me. It took me about 5-10 minutes just to find the control panel. Considering how it has a very similar back end to Windows 7 with settings, control panel, etc.. why the f*ck did MS make it so damn un-user friendly.. Maybe it would be more enjoyable on a tablet or for people completely new to owning a PC, but for me.. I hate Windows 8 based on my experience of using it on someone else's computer.
