    Probably because you spelled Beetlejuice wrong. lol. I spelled it that same way and then edited the post a couple minutes later. Michael Keaton is pretty old to be playing Beetlejuice... but if Ben Afflick can take up Keaton's old role and play Batman, then imagine Afflick as Beetlejuice... ....

    I agree that I think they were off on what Sony's specs would be, but regardless of that 1080p is a standard for PC games for years. i would think MS would have the Xbox One set to handle all games at 1080p. BF4 isn't even running 1080p on PS4, but Call of Duty Ghosts will be.. it doesn't make sense to me why both of these next gen systems can't get 1080p correct. I'm thinking all the launch games are being rushed or delayed at this point just because of this. Steam Machines are going to be very promising. But the main problem steam will have is EA. With the majority of steam machines running linux, the only way to play the newest EA titles on one would be to install a dual boot system to get windows and origin running.

    I'm thinking activision needs to get a couple titanfall employees to show them how to properly use those new MS servers so they can optimize their game. The more I think about it, Activision probably needs to completely re-optimize the game for the Xbox One because of all the last minute changes MS made to the system right before mass production. They probably had Ghosts all set for 1080p and after those changes, they probably came across some discrepancies that would result in them dropping it to 720p only. Thats just a guess, but its the only thing I could think as to why their flagship game wouldn't be running at full quality at launch.

    CoD is definitely the fastest paced multiplayer I've ever played. It can be good for playing quick matches if you only have a handful of minutes to play a game. But if my free time is that short, I'll usually just look at twitter instead. That would be bad for MS if the rumor is true, but there are so many people on the "hate Xbone bandwagon" that it wouldn't surprise me if it is just a rumor. Did you see the new rumor that the Xbox One will need a blood sample from each player to fully calibrate the new Kinect? It uses the same blood sample reader as those diabetes test strips and it slips right into the controller.

    The moon gets 622 mbps (megabits per second) and I'm only getting 30 mbps. Astronauts should have no problem streaming netflix now. On a serious note, this is pretty damn impressive. If they can implement this speed in both directions on new space craft, we could potentially get streaming feeds of jupiter, mars, etc. in super HD quality. Sources: NASA & Dvice

    I'm sure it was a jab at CoD. But honestly, Battlefield is such an advanced game, they don't even need to reference CoD at this point as competition as far as I'm concerned. I think I wanted more out of the trailer than just action. It'd be good to know more of what the actual plot of the game is. CoD can't compete with BF, their real competition now will be Titanfall. I just hope all the hardcore CoD players stick with CoD and don't screw over BF with their endless TDM game play style.

    Everyone is obviously pointing out the brief half second scene of a marine punching an attack dog as a reference to Battlefield's superiority over Call of Duty. As for me, I'm more interested in the campaign than any kind of attack against another franchise. From what I have seen of the BF4 campaign, it appears significantly better than the previous BF3.

    Tim Burton and Michael Keaton might be teaming up for Beetlejuice 2. http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/news/a465497/beetlejuice-2-is-absolutely-a-sequel-says-writer-seth-grahame-smith.html A new Beetlejuice movie could be trippy fun.

    Whats really interesting is that NASA was looking into that for the past 3 years. http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-11/nasa-engineers-propose-combining-rail-gun-and-scramjet-fire-spacecraft-orbit Basically they use a rail gun to launch a scramjet, which then accelerates even faster, gets up higher and then releases the space vehicle that then launches its thrusters to get into space. Significantly less fuel usage, but its much more complicated. The US Navy currently has Rail Gun tech, but nothing close to being able to launch a scramjet: And the US Air Force has finally succeeded in getting their new scramjet prototypes to reach mach 5 safely. http://www.nbcnews.com/science/air-forces-x-51a-hypersonic-aircraft-sets-record-during-its-6C9764973 Maybe in another 10 years the initial cost of getting into space will be significantly reduced because of these methods. And once in space, maybe they'll deploy some sort of rail gun propulsion.

    True, I think we need new space travel technology before we ever try to colonize anything.

    @Trigger I know right? lol. I've read probably half of all the Star Wars novels in print and I never played such a classic before. This game is like an interactive novel. Amazing story and dialogue so far. @Dubird I have force lightning, but I'll have to wear jedi robes to use it. I even tried putting on jedi robes and lightning the hell out of the sand people but after I fried a group of them, everyone else basically bum rushed me and beat me to bloody mess while HK-47 shot pointless blasts from his crappy blaster that only did 6 damage a hit. lol. HK should be doing 7-20+ a hit per blaster he has equipped now. He should be much more effective now. I don't blame you. He kept b*tching and complaining so much I was tempted to choose dark side kind of mean responses to shut him up. At least now I know why he is so angry now.. Hes really bent on revenge. If he had jedi powers, his anger would have drawn him to the dark side. I got these Gizkas on my ship and they seem to be multiplying. I bought poison to kill them.. but when I approached one I realized I could pet it and stuff.. I'll save them for now. Until they block me from running around my own ship, then they'll have to be dealt with.

    I remember all these. Lexx was such a stupid series, but I watched just about ever single ep. The end of season 1 was good too. First Wave.. This show had alot of potential, but I never finished the last season because I thought the show was never going to end.. and the writing really dropped in quality. The Invisible Man.. It was 2000 and not a 90s series but I liked it: Here is an early show from 1991, Salute Your Shorts. One season of childhood fun that nobody remembers now.

    Looks like I might not be getting a PS4 until I get my taxes back early next year. We had some layoffs at work and I'm a bit paranoid to put anymore on my credit than I already have in case something happens. x_x

      Man that sucks. I remember when our company got bought out and my job title no longer existed. It was nerve racking hoping to pick up a new position.

      Ouch, that must have sucked. I think my position is safe but I'm loosing quite a bit of confidence in the higher management and the lack of future accounts we're currently not acquiring.

    I basically finished up Dantooine. I got the star map there, got a krayt dragon pearl after seeing the dragon get killed by mines which was pretty anticlimatic. The sand people want the dragon crystal so they can give me info about their past or something but I'm using it in a light saber. I saved those Jawas too.. but I kept getting my ass handed to me by the large groups of sand people. I had to keep using energy shields, stimulants, etc and it was pain in the ass at the sand crawler and again at the entrance to the sand people territory. I figured I was doing something wrong so I went through all my inventory and weapon combos, upgraded some lightsabers with different crystals and I think I'm all set now. HK-47 is equipped with a couple mandalorian pistols now and his attack is significantly higher than the initial blaster rifle he comes with. And I had Zaalabar's crossbow on Zaalabar and I hardly used him because he seemed to hardly do any damage. I figured it was his weapon and it would be best on him but I guess I was wrong. Because when I equiped a double bladed vibroblade on him, his strength must be massive because his attack damage should be brutal now compared to that cross bow. HK-47 got his ass kicked on me because of the crappy pistol and I used quite a few repair kits.. So I'm looking for places to buy those and I can't find those damn repair kits anywhere on dantooine or tatooine, but I noticed that I got another cut scene on dantooine like I did about Bastila's mom. Turns out Carth's kid is alive.. and then I figured I'd through everyone on the team and test dantooine for all of them. And yep, turns out Mission's brother is on Tatooine.. in the sand people's enclave I was just at. Oh well, I suppose I'll head there and get that done.. then hit up Kasyhakk next to see how good Zaalabar's wookie strength is and maybe get a better weapon for him. This game is so long. lol.

    I finally watched Shaun of The Dead. Fun movie. They all sucked with the gun. Zombies are stuck in doors and windows and with the first 6 bullets shot, only 1 bullet even hits a zombie and it wasn't even a head shot.

    Did you see the sneak peek during Talking Dead? It showed Daryl and some others driving in a car, swerving, avoiding some walkers and then stopping abruptly.. As the walkers started piling up around the car I was thinking, why the hell did they stop!? and then the camera pulls back showing the road ahead is filled with a herd.. 7,500 or so walkers.

    I'm very glad the Rick / Carl issue is basically resolved from what I'm seeing. Its as if they skipped an entire span of time that would have been a repeat of season 2 style farm life. I figured the Michonne injury happened for the same reason, they needed an excuse to keep her there. Beth murdering people.. I dunno. lol. She would be really psycho if that was the case. With how everyone heard gunshots outside the prison, I'm thinking those two were probably killed with some muscle or they had their necks sliced while they were incapacitated by the virus. Or maybe Carl's gun with the silencer attached. And speaking of that, I wonder why Rick didn't give Carl back the silencer.

    This episode was much better than the last one. Michonne seemed a bit out of practice getting off that horse and those walkers got the jump on her rather easily. Now that anyone can die overnight and start killing everyone, the prison isn't safe at all now. I like that. It'll keep people on their toes and make things more interesting. Especially since there is someone luring the walkers to specific parts of the fence. The thing I'm more interested in now is how those two people died at the end. Tyrese showed up to see his girlfriend and all he saw was the blood on the bed, in the room and leading out to where they were burned. That doesn't mean they turned and someone took care of them.. it looked more to me like they were killed and burned before they had the chance to turn. Its as if someone is taking it upon themselves to deal with a potential threat by killing whoever is showing signs of the virus. I doubt someone trying to take out the prison fence would be concerned with stopping a virus from killing people. I'm thinking at least 2 people are doing things in secret. One trying to kill people and another killing people to save people. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of this season.

    http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/18/4853044/telltales-the-walking-dead-is-true-to-every-spirit-of-the-series Looks like the video game might be an influence to the new series thats in the works. I doubt it'll be based on the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if they use some of the scenarios from it.

    If BF4 got delayed, I wouldn't see the point of any one getting a PS4 at launch. With Watchdogs and Drive Club delayed, the launch titles are getting pretty slim for the PS4.

    http://www.psu.com/a021371/Battlefield-4-dev-considered-delaying-PS4-Xbox-One-versions BF4 was almost delayed. Sounds like its being rushed and we should probably expect it to be a bit buggy.
