LOL- my buddy at work tracks his runs, and this is his latest creation:
:awe:
I should do something like that. Put a smile on my face the whole time I'm running.
A fairly nice Toledo neighborhood, that section. At least, I think it still is.
Take Sylvania east a few miles, and you're in my home turf where I grew up.
Speaking of T-town - today, I really, really wish I had a dash cam. I was on Detroit ave on the way home from work, I think it was near the Monroe intersection... some damn crackhead just shambles across Detroit, in active traffic (we had the right of way, we just got the green a few moments prior at the intersection).
She's in the other half, stops near the middle as a semi w/trailer goes by (moving in our direction), she starts walking into our two lanes and half shambles and stops as a car then goes by her. Then she just starts moving again, zombie-like, smiling, and walks right in my lane.
I slam on my breaks, pound on my horn, and she turns her head, keeps shuffling, and gives me a big ol' ugly smile. She was as disheveled looking as any zombie out there.
I had started gunning in, thinking, at her gait and pace I could probably get by on the curb lane before she made any further moves. But she did pick up the pace, and was completely looking in the direction I was traveling (and not at traffic). I realized early enough she most certainly didn't recognize where I was in relation to her, and that she was most certainly NOT going to realize in time and stop moving (or decide to run).
She was either cooked out of her mind on crack, or is a lost-cause drunk.
She made me scrub some rubber off my tires and confirm that, yes, my brakes do in fact work when lives depend on them.
I almost killed a crackhead today.
Good ol' Toledo.

It's kinda sad that MS would put out a product like that, but i guess that's just how they roll. When I upgrade, PS4 will be my choice.
edit: after thinking a little more about this. I probably won't buy either. All I use the current Xbox for is Netflix anyways....don't really need it. Got a roku, wii, laptops....

Sony destroying the competition
You have to pay for play the PS4 online multiplayer.
Also, pretty sure Sony wants apps but they don't have a popular enough ecosystem for them to be much of a draw. Doesn't the Vita have Skype and Facebook and Twitter apps?

You have to pay to get the netflix app on Xbox.
<-- Never owned a console.
What does that have to do with my post?
You do on 360, but no word on the One which is what that gif is about (as far as Xbox goes). I'd be surprised if that carries over as the apps are pretty much the same ones for the Windows app store.

I'm not giving Sony a pass for the lack of restrictions on used *disc* based games, because it's largely a token gesture given the fact that the entire industry is in the midst of a transition to 100% digital distribution. Let's see if they have the same open mindedness to passing around rights to digital copies...
And atop all of that is the fact that Sony has had more to do with the proliferation of DRM, across the entire industry, than any other single big boy tech company. Forgetting that for even a second is pretty ignorant of fanboys at large.

Pretty sure that's what fanboys do.... They are fanboys. Hence, facts don't matter.

Good ol' Toledo.
i wanted to do a route that i could shape like a cock and balls.
I haven't seen that specified anywhere, they haven't even said much about Live other than its continuing and that some things carryover from the 360 and they're ditching MS Points. There's been a lot of rumors that Live will go up in cost (to I think supposedly like $12 a month) which Microsoft has not said anything about either. I still really doubt Netflix will end up requiring Gold due to the changes in the app setup on the system, but we'll see.
Digital copies will be restricted since they've said that will be like it is on the PS3 and Vita.
That is true. But there's been pretty major changes to Sony in just the past couple of years. I'd still expect the PS4 to be locked down and Sony not to screw up the hardware keys like they did on the PS3. Not that that matters after their court victories, although the recent congressional involvement in getting the phone unlocking reinstated might signal a possible change in how that would be considered.
