  1. Amazon looking to open a second headquarters in North America, 50k jobs, $5b in investment. Lincoln and Omaha should get in on that action...

      @VectorVictor Alliance is a bustling metropolis.

      @Cdog923 LOL...I think your definition of "bustling metropolis" and mine differ slightly. :)

      @VectorVictorProbably true; I haven't been to Alliance in maybe 15 years. I hear they have a Sam & Louie's, though! 

  2. In all honesty now with no spin or bulls$$t...who is picking up Destiny 2 today? And for what console?

      I'm probably going to wait and see what the PC reception is like before buying in. A YouTuber I follow pretty closely (LevelCap) said it has some odd issues right now including aim assist and/or some kind of shot registry issue, and aim assist is a really poor PC mechanic.

      HuskerInLostWages

      @Enhance I played the beta and not an issue at all.  Yes aim assist was there but it took 1 look in settings and disable no more worries.  I played with it on originally without even thinking about it and it was smooth either way.

      @VectorVictor Not a fan of consoles myself so i stick with PC whenever possible.

      It's a gambling simulator with guns.

  3. Today's Huskerboard forecast: Posting is still gloomy and doomy, with occasional posts regarding Diaco's credentials. 10% chance of posts asking Langsdorf to run the ball later this evening. Potential severe trauma watch in effect if the game Saturday is postponed. 

    1. Huskerzoo

      Huskerzoo

      Vector, your forecast is a little off. The tide of the storm has changed and we're now complaining that Lansdorf runs the featured back too much. There's a major front pushing for a running back by committee approach. 

       

      The weather changes quick here. 

    2. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Man, I thought that front wasn't gonna come in until tomorrow--there must be a major wave of hot air pushing behind it for it to hit the boards this soon. 

  4. So...Turner Gill just did with Liberty what he couldn't do at Kansas--beat Baylor.

  5. Another year...another sad reminder that we don't have a new college football game to play and that NCAA Football 14 isn't backwards compatible on the XB1.

      If you guys still have 14, I have rosters for this season. Check the Game forum.

      Best game ever on PS3.

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @ZRod, I only mentioned XB1 since it actually has backwards compatibility with many 360 (and soon original XBox) titles and could actually be made compatible.

       

      Problem is, it's purely EA's decision on this, and EA is being willfully obtuse on not making this game BC--it won't violate any of the terms of their legal agreement, as they're not selling the game, and EA still has the servers up (as CDog reminded us above). 

  6. This video has to be the best one concerning a total eclipse...

      Just finished it yesterday. Great, great game.

  9. Super NES Classic: 21 games, including StarFox 2, two controllers, coming out in September for $79.99. I can't wait to not be able to purchase one!

      Zoogs--the emulation is signifigantly better with these than what was on the Wii Virtual Console (different company) and the output is upscaled to 1080p. And while it's great if you still have a SNES and games...chances are you can't save your progress unless you cracked the cartridge to replace the watch batteries.

    3. zoogs

      zoogs

      Oh, wow. That's cool.

       

      What do you mean by saving progress? Admittedly it's been years and years since I've tried.

       

      Also, what in the world does an old 16-bit game look like in 1080p? Haha. I'm really curious about this.

    4. Red Five

      Red Five

      Not sure what the holdup is in releasing these (and NES classic games) for the Switch

  10. Got my BFAM and his wife coming down from Nebraska with Nebraska beers, Fairbury Hot Dogs, Runzas, and most importantly, themselves. Should be a good week next week...

      AMAZINGLY, CAPS LOCK FRIDAY HAPPENS ONCE A WEEK

  11. Seen on Twitter: Eddie Vedder is like the Betty White of Grunge, now that Chris has passed.

  12. I wonder if people are still going to be crying for an impeachment as Trump supporters die off from a lack of medical coverage and benign neglect by 2020.

  13. May Charlie Murphy soar with the blouses, be dunked on by Prince, and have all the pancakes he desires.

  14. Wow...that Scorpio reveal was interesting. And running Forza 6 with 4K assets in 4K at 60 FPS...impressive.

      What does "4K assets" mean and is that related to 4K resolution, or just a coincidence?

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      It means the images and textures used for the vehicles, track, etc. were created in higher detail for a 4K display. Takes up more space in memory (hence the 12 GB of RAM/8 GB usable on the console) and on disk to host these assets, but it looks great.

    4. zoogs

      Ahhhhhh, makes sense! Thanks.

      If they wanted to make some real money, they would let us purchase ban time. Whaddya think, $2 a day to get another poster get banned?

  16. So we have to wait until Halloween for a new season of Stranger Things? FFS...

      They need to speed up their production schedule or wrap up the story. These kids won't be kids much longer.

      ^^They seem to be a going at a decent pace imo. I compare it to Harry Potter in that most of them ended up being several years older than the age they were supposed to be, but it still fit well.

      is this series that good? I have the flu and looking to binge watch something.

  17. Snow in Dallas. No more milk, eggs, or bread in the store. Ain't no party like a #FrenchToastParty because a #FrenchToastParty don't stop.

      If Dallas had got what we did a few days ago, they'd be completely shutdown for a week or more. And I'm like, why is this guy in front of me driving so slow, it's only 10" on top of some ice.

    3. huKSer

      huKSer

      The problem with Texans is that they will drive 90 mph on an inch of ice.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Well yeah, there are always some of those. I figured the bigger problem were those that were immobilized by fear but still venture out. There's plenty here even in Colorado that should just hole up in their basements when the snow/ice hits, cuz they sure don't know how to drive on it.

  18. Glad to see Miles is getting tough on the kids and getting results from it. Plus, he sought out knowledge (via Xavier) to employ a scheme that best fit the kids he had on hand. What a novel concept...

    1. Hoosker

      Hoosker

      Right?! Riley needs to get that Xavier coach on the phone ASAP!

    2. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Hells yeah! But then what do we do with the other six kids on defense?

  19. Please remember the reason for the season, and keep Saturn in Saturnalia this holiday season.

  20. So certain people are pissed off about a non-white Santa? I wonder what would happen if we reminded these same people Jesus wasn't white?...

      I'd just explain to my kid that Santa is a doppler that changes his form and skin color to match what the child is most comfortable with.

  21. So...is anyone doing a Bowl Pick-Em contest on Yahoo or ESPN this year for the board?

    1. GSG

      I'll start one. Confidence or straight picks?

  22. So is mentioning Bo Pelini in a thread the Cornhusker equivalent of Godwin's Rule?

      Well, Pelini did instill a bunker mentality in the team. Ya know who else was famous for living in a bunker.

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      JJ, I don't think Trump Tower is considered a bunker. If it is, it's a very posh bunker.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Pelini=Hitler and Trump=Hitler. I don't know about Godwin's Rule in other locales but that seems to be where most discussions on HB end up.

  23. So what's the over/under on the number of Harley Quinn costumes we'll see tonight?

      And the always popular zombies. My kid has a Grim Reaper costume. I think he wanted it because it came with a scythe that he gets to carry. lol

  24. Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Electric Boogaloo teaser trailer dropped:

      Do you need a hug?
