QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 10, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) Stock works with MMS. I just turned off hangouts handling SMS and everything is back to normal. Yeah that's an issue with Hangouts then. Weird. For me, only Hangouts works with MMS. All third party apps can't handle it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 11:00 PM) Negative. The button is there but it's a grayed out link I can't access.a Do other apps work with MMS? Or is it only Hangouts?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 06:56 PM) Yeah, you were dead wrong about Beasley. #JimmyButlerWillBeTheDifference Lmao. Are you serious? Why the hell would they risk Oden In December against the Bucks, Magic and Raptors? Not every coach is as shortsighted as Thibs. They're saving Oden for Hibbert, Duncan/Dwight in May/June. This dude said Eddy Curry. Please. He was regular season roster filler. They'd have to discontinue food all together before a basketball genius such as Pat Riley would even think of counting on Eddy Curry for a postseason run. Yeah, cause Greg Oden is SOOOOO good. He's their secret weapon against the best teams in the league? It'll be a miracle if he plays at all.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Speaking of Max Payne 3. I bought it back in October when Rockstar was doing a "Preorder GTA 5 and get 75% off all Rockstar games". So I bought it for like $5 back then. I've played the game once and never since. The controls were just too weird and the "play 5 minutes, watch 5 minutes" aspect never got me involved in the game. I think I played for about 2 hours. Max Payne 3 was awesome. It was one of the better games I've played recently.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 12:00 PM) I can't b/c of sprint. And judging by their dev forums I'm one of many people with this problem. Why can't you? From this: http://buzzmobile.us/sprint-apn-settings-android-us/, it looks like you can.

QUOTE (phil07 @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 10:46 AM) That just can't be practical... Just like the 10" Asus tablet you can use to call with. Like wat? I think you're talking about the Padfone. That's a tablet you can a dock a phone into, which is different.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 04:18 AM) That's a good point. I didn't event think about how the controllers are bluetooth. You could play all the great Playsation games on your PC with a wireless PS3/PS4 controller in your hands, which makes it quite literally a portable playstation. Hello, long plane rides. I have a Moga controller that I got for free and it works fine for most games. I haven't tried a PS3 controller yet, mostly because the Sixaxis app to connect it wirelessly costs $3 on the Play Store.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) 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. You could always connect a PS3/PS4 controller. Those are bluetooth devices and will actually work with most games if you just plug it into your phone/tablet. Or there's an app that'll connect it for you via bluetooth. Sony can easily implement that if they really wanted to.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) Can someone let me know when hangouts can actually handle MMS and isn't a garbage app. MMS works for me. Make sure your APN settings are correct (depends on your carrier).

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) Frank Thomas Scouting report from 1989 Is that the same Mike Rizzo that's GM of the Nationals?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 02:19 PM) Great for Frank. This is validation of exactly how incredible of a hitter the guy was. Also 16 people didn't vote for Greg Maddux. Seriously? Awful. More than Biggio missing by 2 votes, Maddux being left off of 16 ballots means there are 16 writers out there who need to be b**** slapped. When you have 700+ people voting and a lot of them are old men with dementia, stupid things happen.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 02:05 PM) Bagwell was at 213 Bagwell was almost hitting .370 that year. I wonder what his final numbers would have looked like if there wasn't a strike. Same goes for Frank. Frank also had a 205 wRC+ that year, which is a figure you just don't see anymore these days. For comparison, even with Cabrera's great season last year and the lower scoring run environment, his wRC+ was 192.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 01:47 PM) Thome should too This feels so awesome OPS+ of 212 in 94. Holy Jesus.

I seriously can't understand what Rodman is saying half the time.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 07:53 AM) Wow. Damian Lillard had 26 points last night... ... IN THE 4TH QUARTER! And the Kings won. Yay!

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 07:50 AM) C'mon really? I know we hate the Heat, but these posts are pretty biased. On top of my head, the bigger name signings that didn't work out for them the last few years: Eddy Curry, Mike Bibby, Rashard Lewis, Greg Oden. But there are other guys who signed who also performed over the value of their contract: Ray Allen, Mike Miller, Shane Battier, Birdman, and even Beasley this year. And yea, they also made it to the Finals three straight years, so I think things are working out pretty well for them. J4L said every move the Heat has made since 2010 has worked out. Clearly, that's not the case and he just loves circlejerking to the Heat.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 07:51 PM) 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? With on-screen controls? This is exactly what Remote Play does on the PS Vita.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 05:40 PM) And then the rest of the board will say what an awful signing it is and it'll never workout despite the fact every move the Heat have made since July, 2010 has worked out. How many minutes has Greg Oden played this year? Oh yeah, none.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) When will Mirotic realistically come to Chicago? Everything I'm hearing is saying he will stay in Spain next year as well. I don't really understand why he'd want to keep playing 25 minutes a game in an inferior league he's clearly dominating.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 02:19 PM) It also sounds like this will eventually kill of the home console industry since it can work on non Sony devices. 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.
