Some impromptu music discussion begins the proceedings, followed by speculative talk on what the next console generation might have to offer, coupled with talk of what Sony has planned for their big announcement this month. Cats and movie recommendations round out this fine episode. Enjoy! Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh67w-2Bf60 As always, the iTunes and MP3 download links are in the video description. Question of the Week Do you think Sony's big announcement on February 20 will be the PS4? If so, what changes or improvements would you like to see it have over the PS3? Sub-question: Piston (the new "Steambox"), yay or nay?

I'd like them to make it run 1080p without upscaling, that drove me nuts. Advertising their games to run at 720p or 1080p just to find out they're upscaled, blurry and jaggy. Piston? Overpriced as fuck. Wait for Valve to come out with something better.

Newfoundland Lobster Trap. and the big thing for me is it has to have the ability for used games, that can piss alot of people off (and the rumors already have) if used games are unable to be played.

I SUCK AT GAMES Posts: 3,048 Group: Members Member #1,200 Joined: Aug 29, 2009 Currently Playing Horizon: Zero Dawn	Yes to a booze segment! Especially beers since I'm a bit uneducated with beer compared to other booze. Canadian starburst. I think it will be the PS4! Change wise Sony better get rid of that goddamn system update/firmware bullshit. Inheritance shot. Time is limited sometimes and I don't want to wait 25+ minutes to play a game. 85% of the time I turn on that system to play games I end up turning it off and switching to Xbox when I see how many updates I have to do. Indian War Horse. Aside from that I'd like a controller from Sony that isn't designed for midget hands because my thumbs hit each other a lot since the joysticks are so close together. Also needs cross game chat. Armenian Noodle Dip. SteamBox yay!!! ----- Good episode so far guys. I'm about two hours in, had to stop for the Super Bowl!! Such a great game even though the 49ers lost. I think Darro had a sex act too last week Ben. Andy drink more, no going dry in February.

The moral is: You're a total BITCH! Posts: 946 Group: Members Member #1,807 Joined: Mar 22, 2010	I say yay to the booze segment, can't wait for the drunken podcast. We all knew that Andy was drunk as hell last week by the amount of times that he said cunt. Question of the Week: As for Sony's big announcement on February 20 I think that most likely it would be the Playstation 4 but I kind of hope not because it would be greatest trolling ever if they just came out with a new Vita. The improvements that I would like to see on the PS4 is to get rid of the fucking install and downloading times, if I can run to the store and but booze and its still not done downloading that means you have done something wrong. Also I want no motion controls what-so-ever and them to change the trigger buttons on the controller. As for the "Piston" it would depend on the price, I say anything over $200 would be a nay.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but what I'm fully expecting to see is a $600 box that plays more or less the exact same first person shooters and sports games that the PS3 plays, but with graphics that look slightly better if you squint really hard. There are plenty of things wrong with the modern state of games (such as lack of new and interesting ideas), but these things will not be fixed by better graphics.

I think Darro had a sex act too last week Ben. Andy drink more, no going dry in February. Yes, thanks for pointing that out Ninja as I did put a sex act down but they must not have seen it when they did the game. It was Tahitian face mask! As for the QOTW: I'll be surprised if it is anything other than the PS4! We probably won't get a lot of information until E3 but they will unveil it in some capacity on February 20th! Other than the mandatory install/update problem, I want them to improve on the PS+ service, which I find is more justified with a purchase than Xbox Live nowadays with what you get (feel free to disagree with me but paying for services that are free everywhere else isn't worth it)! Also, if online pass has to stay, which it will, at least have a bloody trial period if you're renting or buying their first-party games used. At least EA and other publisher/developers give you that. Oh and I hope this whole anti-used mechanic doesn't come into fruition. Honestly couldn't care less about the Steambox, I have a good PC at the moment so not necessary for me so nay it is! If you decide to do a discussion on Xbox Live vs PS+, would like to be on the side of the latter

If the Piston is really gonna be $500-$1000 like from what I've heard, this says otherwise http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Bovt The next generation of consoles isn't gonna be that much more powerful than this PC, wait, it probably won't even be that powerful.

Retroverdose Posts: 3,313 Group: Moderator Member #47 Joined: Jan 27, 2009 Currently Playing Dark Souls III Twitter Kharnivore2099	Im hoping it is a new console to be honest, Im pretty sure console owners are sick and tired of the PC community dissing the quality of graphics and the slow framerates of thier games. Then again, im hoping that they incorporate mouse and keyboard controls for use in games and web browsing. I know a lot of people wont use it, but there is no reason why it shouldn't be an option for console users. That way developers could open up thier PC servers to people with consoles too, imagine being able to play BF3 or any other massive Multiplayer game cross platform with all your friends! Everyone can still use thier prefered platform but still play together, like a big happy family in a big gay pink bubble. Also means console users can get into this MMO lark, i know there a few they can play but the range available on PC is massive and maybe a little ridiculous to be honest. Edit: Booze episode, i want in on some of that shit! If not, you should make it a live episode on twitch or something just so we can all drink along too.

Valve has not shown their steam box yet. Here is a Peice of Shit that could be considered a "Steam Box" (just so you know, this would do worse at games than that $380 pc posted above, due to the alienware PoS having a GT 640 for graphics and the PC having a Radeon HD 7770 Ghz Edition card.) http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-x51/pd.aspx The AMD Bulldozer/Piledriver "8 core" CPUs Are technically considered 4x2, each core isn't a full core, but like one core split down the middle or something like that. SSDs are not a good idea at all for consoles. And the PS3 uses SATA not IDE. Also the statement "Any gaming PC worth its salt is 16gb" is not true. Games hardly use 3 or 4gb of ram. 16gb today is considered far overkill for a gaming PC. 16gb is usually for video editing systems and server type jobs. Edited by Tr3vor, Feb 4 2013, 11:03 PM.

The price per GB is really high compared to a regular hard drive. My 64gb OCZ Vertex 4 costs around $80. Considering that games are usually around 8 gb and some like the Witcher 2 at 20gb, it would be way too expensive. Loading isn't all that much faster on games anyway. They might be a good idea in the future, but for now a larger cheaper HDD is a better option. and yeah, every time anyone slips is always on a video or a podcast or something
