Funny, office girl I work with just came up to me and asked if I'd seen her new FB pics. Apparently posing with some exotic cars. Nope, removed FB from my phone. But since she's passably hot I went to Google Play to put it back on. Got to reading the 'permissions' it asks for and said 'fuck it'. Told her to email them, or bring me with next time.

MS might be the first, but maybe not the evilest.

It really depends on the individual retailer. They're given an idea what their allocation will be. How fast and loose they want to play it is their call. It'll be tough to get one without a preorder, however.

My advice, check the Sony website right before / during launch. Preorders fall through due to cards failing to authorize.

LMAO. I used to be a PC gamer but for some reason I lost the ability to control my hand when I use a mouse...I aim and spray everywhere it's really embarassing and hard to watch haha.

BF4 is better than COD. Not even close.

how far do you have to move the mouse to move you cursor from the bottom left to the top right corner of your monitor?

I plan on milking the 360 until the games run dry then getting an Xone when the first incentive package/price drop hits shelves. I see no need to rush when both Forza 5 and BF4 are both on the 360 too (I think).

TBH it's been too long since I've played a FPS on pc...Kind of embarassing actually haha. I probably didn't have my sensitivity up high enough. Do gaming mouse/keyboard make a big difference? I would always play on my laptop because I would be outside in the backyard lmao

you didn't answer the question...


anyway sensitivity has to be set low for proper control, i have mine set so that i need to move my mouse around 4 inches diagonal to reach corner to corner.

and turn mouse acceleration/filtering off.

setting it high without developing proper motor control will have you missing everything and being useless.


there is no such thing as "gaming mice and keyboards", it's all fluff, some just have better ergonomics and buttons for more keys, but an 800 dpi mouse on a cable is more than enough for any game.

To answer the question, I have no idea how far I have to move my mouse to get it across the screen.
I'll keep that in mind next time I try and play though, thanks for the info.
I just can't justify spending money on an upgraded PC...o well

Forza 5 will not be coming to 360 as far as I know. I have my day one copy reserved since July.
