  1. I used to love WWE / WWF back when I was a kid. But I never paid for the pay per views.. once those starting happening 6+ times a year I slowly realized that all the regular shows were nothing but build up to the paid events. I'm glad this is happening. Maybe now Syfy will actually put more sci-fi shows on again to replace the wrestling programming. I'd love to see other shows / networks do the same thing. I'd love to drop cable and instead pay separate bills for the programming that I'd want. If there was a discovery / science channel network, history channel network and maybe a couple more, I wouldn't have to pay for the 300+ channels I don't even watch. This is probably one of the smartest things Vince McMahon has done with his franchise. Cut out the middle man and get all the money directly from the consumer. I wonder if he got the idea from The Anime Network or Funimation. Both of those companies have been doing subscription based networks for years now. I wonder if the WWE network will have the old XFL games available to watch. lmao.
  2. With the service being subscription based and renting, I doubt Sony will give us our PS+ library of games. I was hoping it would be like a steam account and all my digitally purchased games for PS3 would be automatically available to me. If that was the case I'd have about 15 or so games I could play right on my PS4, which would have been very nice. But I'm guessing Sony wants as much money as they can get which means we'll all have to pay more to play the games we already own yet again. At least this should take care of future backwards compatibility issues. The Playstation 5 might not even need a disc drive. All the games could be digital only and all old games will be available via Playstation Now.
  3. A Tropic Thunder video game would have been better than this. But at least this game still looks better than the original Rambo game.. So many snakes.. The jungle was so dangerous.
  4. Don't forget to go into your settings and set your notification options. I love how this site's notifications work. Its probably my favorite feature. Oh man.. I remember when we used phpBB. That was such a long time ago. We were using vbulletin a year ago.. it really turned to crap.
  5. I tried watching .hack// once and couldn't get into it either. How about older anime? Have you watched Princess Mononoke, Inuyasha or Escaflowne?
  6. Playstation Now, formally known as just Sony's Gaikai technology, will be going into a closed beta in the US starting at the end of January 2014. This could be the beginning of the end for consoles. I don't think consoles will be obsolete in the next decade, but if game streaming eventually becomes the new standard, we will no longer need to purchase consoles or high end PCS. If a game can be streamed we will only need a device on our end to interact with and display the game. With a smart tv and a gamepad, we won't have to worry about buying a new video card or dropping $500+ on new hardware because the games will be completely run on company servers. Playstation Now will also support multiplayer, trophies and playstation network messaging. We discussed before about Playstation becoming a service, see (Is PlayStation Going to Compete with Steam?). Competing with Steam does not appear to be the case however. Steam allows people to buy licenses of games, download and play them. The Playstation Now service has mentioned nothing at all about purchasing games. As it is now, it will be a game renting or subscription only service. This could be a very big game changer. If Sony charges a flat rate fee like netflix, then gamers around the world might jump right on the offer. Imagine paying $7.99 a month for a massive game library on demand. No downloading and installing.. just pick a title from a netflix style menu and start playing a game. Source: Polygon Click here to view the article

  8. I remember playing Rambo on the original NES and it was horrible. Now Rambo has made a come back to video games.. a console generation too late. This game looks like it should have been released about 4 years ago and pales in comparison to whats on the market now. Rambo will be released on February 18, 2014.
