@badp I have known for a while now that Sony doesnt care about its consumers.. But I also acknowledge that their technology and hardware is generally more advanced than their competitors :)
I was trying to find out when the swarming on a Pokemon outbreak change to another route, but I could only find this information about "soft-reset". But nothing about the time to reset while playing.

Then there's the spycicle. It's like the regular knife but when you catch on fire you can switch to it and you trade the knife for 2 seconds of being fire proof. (Knife comes back after 15 seconds.)
Another new thing you need to watch out for as a medic is the engineer's pomson. It's a slow travelling long team-colored projectile going through people. If it hits you you lose 10% uber (or 20% uber). Yeah.
The other non-shotgun the engie has is the frontier's justice, which is another shotgun. Sentries feed your gun guaranteed critical hits, but your clip only has 3 shots.
You have plenty wrenches too. Mainly the eureka effect, that doesn't let you move buildings (not like you've ever done that) but respawns you on right click.
@BenBrocka Oh no, that's the widowmaker. If you can hit with shotguns it's basically infinite ammo.
One thing I am confused on is I thought the VITA accepted 2 memory cards, one for storage and one for games.. Is there just the one slot that I see and that is all?
@James It's an amazing piece of hardware, the controls work amazingly well and there's some neat stuff they can do with the back touch screen/camera/ect. The graphics are superb and the download store works very well and is very practical for the future of gaming
As of yet there aren't TOO many games out for yet it, but I had to get one myself as an interaction geek
@Shinrai The article I read real quick on it is that the 4 man team behind bukkit are actually going to be working with (for?) Mojang in releasing the updated Bukkit API with the releases of Minecraft. After that part is done there is potential that the API will expand to single player as well.
@BenBrocka Hehe, I owned a PS3 for 2 years as a blu-ray player before I finally bought a game for it :D
Still the best upscaling DVD player I have ever seen.
To prevent more people from attempting to answer this question and getting all huffy when it is pointed out that there answer is complete speculation, can we just close it for now? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/49461/…
you buy an apple product and now you HAVE to install itunes. Sh*t doesn't work without it, so you have to get it, and you have to get quicktime, and out of the box you hate itunes and quicktime just out of spite
@StrixVaria THIS. Why on earth do I want a tablet if I have a smartphone and a computer? I don't understand. I'd buy a convertible tablet/laptop for reading my comic books, maybe.
@Shinrai I can log in and reboot a system on my iPhone.. I can log in and read logs and debug a downed system on my iPad. and while I have small and light to desktop replacement laptops... the iPad just wins on ease of keeping it with me.
Plus.. the pinball game I have on it (and GTA 3) is pretty fun to carry along with me as well ;)
@OrigamiRobot I pay more to have access to less of the underneaths.. And I am fine with that.. cause I do not buy an iPad to screw around withthe kernel or to move things around a few pixels or to replace the chat program.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am just not denying that Apple products are generally over priced.. For me the ease of use and convenience of everything within the project playing nicely together is worth any extra cost that may include.
@James Apple computers are arguably overpriced. Apple has been eating their competitors lunch on pricing in mobile devices since the days of the iPod Nano.
@OrigamiRobot It's more like saying "I only ever want half of the sandwich, so I'll pay the same price (or maybe slightly more) to get that half made with really awesome ingredients, and then hotpressed so I can't pick it apart."
@LessPop_MoreFizz I remember when the iPhone and iPad were announced and their prices were hefty at the time.. Then everyone else jumped into the water and saw that Apple's prices were already on the low end of the spectrum..
As for the computer side of things, if you don't see/understand apples cycle now, it's because you're living in 1999. Apple launches new products at extremely competitive price points, but doesn't lower those prices over time as components become cheaper. And because apple launches new products/updates less frequently, they fall behind on pricing.
What I dont agree with is how fast the price scales up simply because I want more storage in the device.. The majority of the cost in storage is the upfront requirements, not the actual space.. that is always the cheaper part (which is why you see drives start at a high price and then scale up to double the size for another fraction of that price).
But every time Apple has done a major notebook update, I have been unable to find a competitors system that matches it for specs/size/price for a comparable price.
@OrigamiRobot LoL, That is one of the things I always get a chuckle out of.. What was their motto? Think different? Express yourself? But oh yeah, you can choose option A or option B.. thats it :D
@LessPop_MoreFizz Portability matters quite a bit more than power when you have to constantly fly around the country because your company has offices on each coast of the USA as well as in Canada.
When I bought my macbook pro for iPhone development the difference between 2GB of RAM and 4GB of RAM on the system was 1000.. altering the price from 2000 to 3000.
There is nothing you can say to convince me that 1/2 to 2/3rds the cost of that machine was the RAM.
@James Yeah, RAM from Apple is a running joke, and really shouldn't even be part of the conversation on the merits of Apple devices. It's like talking about the price of ink cartridges when you're debating HP's merits as a PC maker.
@James Right, but we're not talking about cost of parts vs. cost of whole widget here, because there are clearly a variety of other costs involved in having any company build a computer for you that you don't incur when you build it yourself - or at least, don't incur in a monetary way.
@StrixVaria I'm figuring to try Nautilus, just to have fun. I'm probably going to enjoy some duo-laning with him and my brother on Blitzcrank later in the week.
@James Right, my point is, it's absurd to bitch about a widely derided profit center of the company that you as a consumer can completely circumvent by buying elsewhere, when trying to make the point that all of the companies products are terrible.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I cant though.. I -had- to buy a mac PC to develop for iOS on it.. THeir licensing technically even prohibits developing components outside of their OSx and then linking to them and wrapping them in objective-C API layers.
But I don't think that Nissan makes a lower quality vehicle or that they are somehow, as a company, entirely defective and out to rip me off, simply because my mechanic up the street can do it for 1/5th the price.
@James We're not talking about the same thing here. I'm saying that the Mac itself is price competitive, it's just that their pricing for getting a larger hard drive and more RAM is absurd.
Which, quite frankly, it is, an is what I had thought you were bitching about.
If you are complaining that Macs on the whole are overpriced, even once you acknolwedge that only a sucker buys memory/storage from apple, then I refer you to my earlier comment about the cyclical nature of apples pricing strategy.
@LessPop_MoreFizz IIRC opening a macbook pro voids your warranty. so I could not just slip in another set of ram due to their proprietary batteries (which I love BTW) :)
