Re: Off Topic 2012

Oh man I've wanted one for years I just have no space to put a legit one.

Coming home and doing Insanity clears the head, too. Part of the reason why I like working out because it usually focuses me.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Yeah, any pent up aggression definitely is released after a good work out.

Reason why I try and go everyday. Eases a lot of stress and gets my mind off of other crap.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Quick question...

Does the new XBox (the black one that comes with kinect) use the same hard drive that the white XBox does?

I feel like Im missing out on a lot of contact because of the limited storage capacity of the system. In 2K13, I cant even see any highlight packages and on Madden, replays were about 4 seconds long.

Wait a minute...so if I have a 4GB Xbox, I'm not going to be able to see/do certain things on some games?

I wish there was an acceptable way of asking this girl for my jacket back without a) it being totally awkward and/or b) requiring any future liaisons which would probably lead to attachment.

No, it uses a smaller one. You can actually get a 320 gig for the new one on Amazon for about $50 right now. They have transfer cables to move your stuff if necessary.

Sweet. Thanks. Is there any brand that I should get? Or are they all from Microsoft?

(I'm not tech savvy at all. Lol)

You serious? Or are you once again just giving me a hard time Pack? Lol

If you are serious, yes I'm pretty sure we're missing out.

I remember before I sold my old XBox and the 120 GB harddrive, in 2K I could see any scoring play over the coarse of the game just by going to gametrack. Now, with this 4 GB harddrive, it shows what happened in text, but when you click it, nothing happens.

There are also would be TV like highlight reels shown throughout the game.

Say Kerr brings up something about how Nash has been dishing the ball. It'll then show Nash diming it up. A team has been on a killer 15-0 run? They'll show highlights of some of the plays contributing to the run. At the end of each quarter or game, its just like what you see on TV with a quick highlight package of plays and player emotions before going to "commercial".

Player of the game now just shows dude standing, mean mugging the camera. Then takes you to the menu...With the harddrive, it would show a really sick highlight reel of all of his best plays and the numbers he posted.

Im thinking its the same with Madden because of what I experienced with just trying to go to the replay. I'd pull off a sweet move that would allow me to break free for the score, but when I'd go to the replay, it was so short and just showed me running it in. If I made a bad play, I would try to go back to see what I did wrong or where I could have capatalized. But all I would get was the very tail end of the play. Sucked. Then there were no highlight reels or replays of what happened earlier in the game at halftime, the end of the game, or otherwise.

Even battlefield 3 has an HD option for the game. But I cant install it even though I have the space it says it needs. So the graphics look somewhat crappy. Not sure of this applies to other games in terms of graphics.

Sorry to draw this out. But I guess the short answer would be "yes". We both are missing out. Lol

How about just asking her for it back? No need for anything more than being straight forward about it.

Maybe you can get her to put you inheriting your jacket back in her will.

And then... well...

Too short-sighted.

He's gotta marry her. Get a life insurance policy. Take the jacket back. Cut the brake lines. BAM. A jacket AND money. Plus, a dowry from the wedding.

This is the only realistic option.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Remember how some of you guys were talking on here a week or two ago about not locking your doors? Well my neighbor learned his lesson. He never locks his car doors and his car got broken into last night. They took $6k worth of stuff (mostly camera equipment) and they stole his glock.

The scary part about it is whoever did it probably just went up the street, seeing which cars were unlocked.. which means they probably tried to get into my family's cars too.

it takes 2 seconds to lock your car. i have no idea why anyone would want to leave their car unlocked no matter how safe they feel.

Who keeps $6k worth of anything in their car - locked or not? Camera equipment and a gun? What?

If you don't ask that girl for your damn Jacket. What the hell are you afraid of, man?

"Hi, can I get my Jacket that I've left over here accidentally? I really appreciate it."

You serious? Or are you once again just giving me a hard time Pack? Lol

No, I'm dead serious. I did not know that.

Especially with 2K because I have those same issues(didn't experience it with my last Xbox, which was 20 GB)but I just figured that maybe it was something wrong with my game.

I may just need to go ahead and buy an bigger hard drive. Only thing I didn't know was whether or not I need to take apart my Xbox to put a new hard drive on there since on the old ones, you just press/hold the button to pop out your previous HDD and then insert your new one.

Re: Off Topic 2012

There are non-Microsoft hard drives for cheaper, but they don't offer backwards compatibility. Most of them have good ratings from what I've seen. The hard drive slot is on the side of the xbox close to the disc tray if I'm not mistaken. I have an Arcade still so I'm just trying to remember what my cousin's is like off the top of my head.

Lmao!

You guys abandoned me first!

What!? We have to take the damn thing apart to put a new hd in? The heck?

Re: Off Topic 2012

No, there is a slot on one of the sides. There is a cover over it that you can pop off and you'll see it.
