QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 09:43 AM) With on-screen controls? This is exactly what Remote Play does on the PS Vita. I guess on-screen controls could work. Seems like that would be tough. Also, the Vita has buttons and dual joysticks so that's most of the controls. Only the L2/R2 buttons are touch.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 02:30 PM) What Sony should do is put remote play on smart phones. I don't have fast enough internet on my phone (or at home even) to stream HD video and provide real-time input from a non-local server. I'll happily use my phone or tablet to play PS3/PS4 games at home though. I'm not sure I understand this. So you want to play a game at home on your phone in the same place your console is? How are you going to control a game on your phone?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 6, 2014 -> 08:14 PM) Jameis looks shocked to face someone actually playing defense. He looks shocked it's a close game. He doesn't know what to do.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 3, 2014 -> 02:53 PM) Camp Cupcake training camp roster released today. Happy to see 3 U-20s get their first shot. Yedlin and Gil in particular I'm curious to see Klute. We need left backs badly. I haven't seen much of him at Colorado, but I've heard good things.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 3, 2014 -> 08:58 PM) I'm pumped about Mauk though. But Pinkel is pretty loyal to seniors. Mauk is less accurate but way more explosive. He is a much better runner. He can improvise incredibly well. He has a big arm. The timing routes can come in the offseason with tons of reps as first team quarterback in the offseason.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 01:39 PM) thankfully it was basically a glorified scrimmage for Wisconsin All bowl games other than the national title game are glorified exhibitions.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 04:30 PM) Yeah - that's the point. I need PS+ to play online with PS4 (though I haven't taken Killzone or NBA 2k14 online just yet), so I took the plunge for $49.99 for the year. I've already been able to download Uncharted 3 ($39.99) and BioShock Infinite ($39.99), which I hadn't been able to play yet for PS3, as well as the surprisingly exceptional Resogun ($14.99) for PS4. PS+ was a very smart decision, and I still have 11+ months left of it. Yeah, it's such a great deal. It's opened me up to other games I wouldn't have played otherwise. Since they were free I had nothing to lose. Resogun is good fun too.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 27, 2013 -> 11:28 AM) That's pretty surprising. I realize there wasn't much else on in the way of sports last night, but that was a nothing match-up and I had zero interest in it, where as I'd watch the BE final. The Big East final goes up against a lot of other good basketball. The Detoilet bowl was the only thing on.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 26, 2013 -> 03:04 PM) I wanna play the new Assassin's Creed game, do I need to play any over the other games first or can I just jump in and figure it out? No, but if you have any interest in AC at all, play AC2. It's the best game in the franchise. If you're just interested in AC4 because you just wanna be a pirate, well, then you can happily play AC4 without worrying about too much stuff from the other games.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 24, 2013 -> 09:40 AM) I've found that in AC4 I have a bit of OCD. Anytime I find an island with random stuff on it, I have to find everything before moving onto the next mission. I had the same thing. It definitely slowed me down, but I think it was a good way to do it because by the time I got to the last few main story memory sequences I was able to just plow through that and not get distracted.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 24, 2013 -> 01:06 AM) Just rented AC4. Pretty much just have tonight and tomorrow to play. Due back on Xmas, but I doubt I am going to play too much Xmas day. So far so good. Not a huge fan of the naval battles like some people are, but I like the storyline of someone stealing the assassin's identity, instead of it just being a family occupation. Was really hoping the graphics and the world would be as lively as Far Cry 3, but so far it doesn't seem that way. Only 15 minutes in, but was really hoping for that beautiful Far Cry 3 world. Why even bother renting a game if you're only going to have a day with it? It's not like it's Madden or FIFA.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 08:45 PM) With how PS Plus works now on PS4, I don't see them giving away major games to everyone with it (a lot of people will have it for online play). They were going to have Drive Club offered on PS Plus before that game got delayed. As far as I know that's still the plan when the game does come out. That's a "major" game.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 09:23 AM) Resogun is awesome and addicting and is free with ps+ right now on ps4. That alone makes it worth it. Yeah, good point. Contrast was a freebee too although I haven't got around to playing it yet. PS Plus will get more PS4 games as time passes. I bet Knack will be free in a few months, not that that's anything special from what I've read. They treat PS Plus like Netflix. You get stuff later than release, but it's paid for with your subscription.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 03:45 PM) I haven't played anything since Borderlands 2. I have the entire weekend off and am looking to buy something to flip in a couple days. I'm thinking either AC III, Bioshock Infinite or The Walking Dead. I'm leaning towards Bioshock. I loved the first 2. I was a big AC fan until Revelations, which I played for a couple hours and put away. If you didn't like Revelations I wouldn't play III. I thought III was the worst of the franchise since I, but I also liked Revelations. IV however is better, although a huge game. It's the biggest of any AC game by quite a bit. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 03:47 PM) Did IGN do their awards yet? I'm surprised GTA 5 didn't win, I figured it would win every Game of the Year award. IGN has their nominees only now: Bioshock Infinite Device 6 Dota 2 Gone Home GTA5 Last of Us Zelda Super Mario 3D World Tearaway Tomb Raider

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 12:10 AM) Oooh ok. Well I am pretty sure he was referring to the cable box feature when referring to the Xbox. It connects to your cable box, which is something the PS4 doesn't do. You're probably right, but DVR means digital video recording so they both have that. Not all cable boxes are DVRs.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 12:35 PM) I'm sure he's on Klinsmann's radar but he's expressed no desire in playing for the USMNT. He's stated in interviews that he is Mexican and feels Mexican. I'm sure if he never gets involved with the Mexican team he'd consider if the US called, but I think it's safe to say he is all Mexico Not to mention the US goalkeeping situation is on lock down for years to come. Howard followed by Guzan. This is the first I've heard of this guy, but he's far more likely to play for Mexico.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 11:55 PM) Really? But you have to have DVR capabilities in the first place, right? I think you're thinking of using your cable box, which the PS4 doesn't do. DVR as in records gameplay and you can go back and watch and save chunks of it with pause/FF/rewind ability.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) The DVR-esque functionality of XBone is appealing to me, I'll be watching to see how everything shakes out. They both have this. I've used it a few times on the PS4. It's pretty cool.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 09:05 AM) I've been pretty happy with Xbox One. The way people talked about it, you thought it would be a disaster. I haven't had any issues. Wish more game were out right now, but those are coming. I think they both have some very cool features. I own a PS4, not an Xbox, but maybe in a few years I'll get one for cheap if they drop the price enough. I don't think anyone is going to be disappointed with either one and neither one has a ton of games for now.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) This thing will struggle unless they do something. What does this mean?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 15, 2013 -> 06:14 PM) Notre Dame won the men's college soccer championship with a 2-1 win over 3-time champ Maryland. Their best player, Harrison Shipp, is expected to be signed by the Fire soon. He was in their academy and they have the rights to him.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 13, 2013 -> 09:29 AM) I don't have a 5S, but my friend uses it flawlessly all the time. I'd try redoing the config, you probably rushed through it and messed it up. I'm calling BS on that. I know of one other user that had issues and got rid of it. That convinced me to bail on it as well. It works when you take your time and solidly press your finger down, but only when your hand is perfectly dry and warm. It's more bother to get it to work than it is to remove the password (which I hate having to enter when the thing doesn't read) than to simply go back to swipe.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 07:24 PM) Anyone having issues with yahoo mail on their phone? Yes. Nothing major, but it does seem to not register messages as read sometimes or adds them back to my inbox. Anyone else ditch the fingerprint scanner on iphone? The thing was too picky so I finally bailed on it. It was more effort than it was saving. If I just washed my hands or got out of the shower and tried to use my phone it would never work. It was also picky if I was any bit sweaty. Heck, sometimes I don't know why it didn't work in what seemed like optimal conditions.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 08:54 AM) True to form. I can't believe you're 30.

I love how Mizzou has won four in a row and he's trash talking older streaks in a subtle way. Ridiculous as always. It's pretty amazing we haven't had an all out flame war with the garishness of some of the Illini fans on here.
