    My original Xbox 360 Pro overheated back in the summer of 09... I got it three weeks before Halo 3, and bought it for Halo 3. And then after playing it for year(s) offline (I never got Xbox Live until late 2008) it started having issues. Once I discovered Halo 3 on Xbox live however... Lets just say it was the worst thing to happen to poor mister Xbox 360... He passed away from overheating. But we revived him and kept him alive on Life support until his demise in November 22nd 2010... Then my mom spotted me some cash from her tax returns in Christmas of 2010 and I bought my "New" Xbox 360 (Slim model). She's a beauty, and has zero issues. I put her through her paces often, and use her almost non-stop since then... And she's still goin strong.

    I concur. I mean what happens on the Xbox 360... Should stay on the Xbox 360... By this I mean Halo 3. IF and I mean IF they did ever bring Halo 3 to the Xbox One, It should be on it's 10th Anniversary. If even then.

    Alienware is overpriced.... Or at least expensive. For the price it takes to buy a pre-built gaming PC from alienware you could spend half as much and get an arguably better PC. That is of course unless you buy all the parts from alienware... Alienware is a very good, and solid company that makes great products and builds lavishly beautiful high end PC's... If you can afford them that is... In short Alienware makes great PC's and parts, but they are a little overpriced. I prefer to buy cheaper parts from other brands or off brand, but that is just my personal preference.

    So does this mean that the app will apply streaming technology/software to the console and any NFL games compatible with the tech, so the game becomes optimized for 60 FPS? Or will it use third party means of getting the games and or console to achieve the fabled 60 frames per second? And why not just release a Title Update to the console so existing NFL games can reach 60 frames and then pre-optimize the game discs or game engine of the future titles and content to be 60 frames... Or why not allow the App to come pre-installed on a game disc (or the digital copy of a game for On demand purchasers) and activate automatically if the player is a gold member, and alert silver members that they can get smoother and more consistent frame rates if they upgrade to gold... That way you can just purchase the game and it comes pre-loaded with the app built in, so if your a gold memeber it automatically upscales to 60 FPS and it stays locked at 30 FPS for non gold members, that way you never have to download the apps. The app would automatically activate if your gold.

    I have mixed feelings about this... Part of me thinks its great that Microsoft and EA is paying YouTubers money instead of just saying "Do it or Else!..." But another part of me is upset at the fact they are paying money to praise their games... It's not that these YouTubers are uploading gameplay of these specific games because they want to, or that they enjoy it, they are doing it just to make a quick buck... If I was in this situation, I would take the money too... But I would still say how I really feel, and what I actually think of the games...

    I wanna get the Xbox One, but the longer I wait, the better. Besides, there are still sooo many great games for the 360 I still have yet to try....

      I Know right! It is my second time, my brothers third time, and my dads first time watching it! You watch one episode, and then it turns into three, and then five, and then you realize you've been there for four hours straight! We are currently on season 3.... :)

      No matter how many times my brother or I watch it, it never gets old, and it still surprises us! A true one of a kind masterpiece... The way Micheal and Lincoln get along, is a lot how my brother and I get along, although we are a little more close. And I love Micheal and Sarah together! I love their relationship!

    If they really mean what they say, then they need too do two things... 1. They need to hurry up and release a big patch, or a few smaller sized patches spread out of a period of time, to address the console issues, and Xbox Live problems, as well as add new features. And 2. They need to advertise more... All I have been seeing lately is PS4 ads, and Sony marketing for their company and other products in general... If it wasn't for it being announced, some people might not even know it exists. Microsoft and Xbox One needs to make its presence known, and show it is capable of being a worthy competitor.

    I hope I would qualify to play with you guys... - I don't speak unless spoken too - I do not pressure anyone to do anything they don't wanna do - I always ask for permission before I do anything (even speak as mentioned earlier) - I always say "Please" and "Thank You" even to enemy's or people who don't deserve it - I wait until given an order before making a move, unless I am given "Leader Status", to which I would pass it to someone more deserving or someone who wants it more - I never Tea Bag even if they ask me too - I never quit unless its 100% nessacry - And I play for fun, but take it seriously
  10. The Stig
    Yes, Thank you.

    Fallout 3 and New Vegas are the two best games Bethesda has made... Unless Skyrim or Oblivion are anygood... I wouldn't know as I have yet to try them, but so far I'm loving Fallout.

      See I wanna give Skyrim a try, but I am waiting until our dream PC is complete so I can experience it the way it was meant to be played... But it could take a while so I should just get the console version... But the thing is all of those mods for PC... It is tempting...

      i say if your gonna get a pc cappible of playing it, you gotta go with that, the mods for it make the game way better, and it's already an awesome game to start.

    I am more of a loner... I just prefer to work by myself. Less drama. But I always keep this in mind... "If you want to travel fast, go alone. If your want to travel far, go together..."

    Great guide my friend, Although from my experience, my brother and I found that an SSD drive is superior. That alone made a computer my father had which was a dinosaur, boot like lighting... It had a 2003 motherboard, a Pentium 4 processor, only 512 MB of RAM and less than 1 gig of memory, and the operating system was still Windows XP basic 32 bit... It took it over 4 minutes to boot up and load... And just by cleaning it thoroughly inside and out with isopropyl alcohol, and compressed air, and them putting some thermal paste and a SSD drive, it booted up in less than a 26 seconds... And now on our old computer that were bringing into this century (don't wanna post the specs yet as it is still a work in progress) it made it go from a 21 second boot time to a 8 second boot time, but now with windows 8.1 it is now less than 5 seconds! SSD's are the way too go. SSD's are the future!

    The part when Captain Keys died in Halo CE, then Foehammer was really sad... But the biggest shock to me was when Miranda died in Halo 3... I was still sad about it up until I got my mind off of it by the last level, only to have Johnson die and make me sad again... I didn't even have time to recover from Miranda's death, and now johnsons dead.. Then before I could even have time to mourn, Master Chief ends up alone isolated in space, presumed dead, aka MIA, Arbiter has to return home to a war that is killing millions of his people, and the UNSC had a memorial service honoring all the fallen soldiers... That combined with the fact that the game was over, a legendary trilogy that consumed my life and made up so much of my childhood was over, and that it was the last Halo game (at the time, that's what ever one said) was all really kinda depressing...

    Wow so many great cars here! I love it! :)

    For something that made up such a big part of my childhood and gave me so many sweet memories, I really can't tell you... There were just sooo many great games, I really can't choose.

    Headed to the Detroit International Auto Show. Luckily its only less than an hour drive for me. Can't wait to see what they got this year! ^-^

      Just like building a Mega Bloks Pelican. Which, incidentally, I wound up doing for my neighbor because he was unable to do it. It took much longer than it should have because he made a mess of the pieces long before I met him.

    That's so cute! But at the same time, she is going to have a really hard time learning how to spell and pronounce her name in elementary school, and when she gets to middle school bullying will happen. And once she gets to highschool and college, its gonna be a pain having to write down that name. And then when she is an adult, no one will let her buy alcohol or cross the border(s) without arousing suspicion... Just think if she gets pulled over by a police officer... "Ma'am you're tellin me your name is... Tali'Zorah... Tali'Zorah As in Tali from the game, Mass Effect... Yeah, Nice Try... Now whats your real name?" And what if she plays Mass Effect some day to see the origin of her naming, and does not like the character whom her name was givin... That would suck.

    Agreed. Dubstep is not my style either but I have to admit, some dubstep (when listened to with the right speakers on a proper setup) are a-mazing! Come to think of it, Google Harry Potter Theme Song Dubstep... It's pretty epic. Oh and I also love Inspirational songs! The Rocky theme always gets me ready to go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq7RrHauzAg

    Both the game and the console itself are relatively new, so please try to keep that in mind... Come to think of it, Assassins Creed 4 and Battlefield 4 are all "Newer" as well.... So, in time, it will all sort itself out. You just have to have patience, and a little faith.

    Standing in line is only as boring as you make it out to be. Anything can be fun if you use your imagination. Thanks SpongeBob!

    "Halo : Next (gen)" would be my guess... That might be what they were going for... Or it was a typo, or the naming department at Microsoft got bored. I can see no logical reason as to why, they would call it just "Halo Next". Unless they have something up there sleeve, or its a placeholder name used to stir up conversation and build up hype... There is no such thing as bad publicity. All publicity is good. Just ask Miley Cyrus, or look at Grand theft Auto 5.
