  1. The X is a legit beast of a console. Can’t wait to get a 4K TV this Holiday Season to stretch its legs...

      Plus the beauty of the XBO:X is that it's backwards compatible, and they're even providing XBO:X upgrades to 360 titles (e.g. Halo 3, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion). 

       

      I highly recommend a XBO:X for third party console, online gaming, and MS exclusive titles. It's the most impressive system I've seen since when the 3DO dropped.

      Good on the backwards compatibility. I remember feeling pretty hosed when Sony decided to not make their later run PS3's backwards compatible. Shameless money grub, IMO.

       

      I'm personally holding out and going to try to grab a Switch this Christmas as well. But now I'm tempted to look at that...

       

      For the rig, I specifically really nice monitor not too long ago that was Freesync capable because I was planning to put a Vega in this baby. But then that launch kind of flopped... Holding out to see if I can find one discounted around Black Friday.

      Perhaps get a 2K monitor instead with FreeSync? Not only will it work for your PC, but the XBO:X also outputs natively at 1440p (2K), and is rumored to support both AMD and NVIDIA monitor sync platforms in the very near future. 

  2. 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.

      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. 

  3. Weird Al's Tour dates just dropped. No NE dates so far, but multiple dates for me in TX to go see him. w00t!

      I got a chance to see him in CB during his Mandatory Fun tour, well worth the price of admission.

    2. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @Judoka you may want to check this tour out then--no predefined setlist, no A/V or costumes, just simply Al and the band performing (mostly) B-Sides and originals in smaller venues. Think one half Unplugged, one half Storytellers. 

  4. Why in the wide, wide world of sports are we spinning ourselves up over a former Free Safety from Stanford to be our coach? :ahhhhhhhh

      Especially one that ditched the option for the West Coast offense because he thought it was his way to the NFL.

  5. Wonder Woman 1984 coming to HBOMax on December 25th. I'd be excited if HBOMax wasn't a steaming pile of **** streaming service right now. 

    1. GSG

      GSG

      What's wrong with HBOMax?

    2. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      No 4K, no HDR, no Dolby Atmos, app is janky on Apple TV (constant crashing/issues with watching/favoriting movies). Also, HBOMax isn't available on Roku devices...because...reasons.  

       

      The HBOMax app has been out for a while now. Disney+ was able to have 4K, HDR, and Dolby Atmos support from the jump, we're still waiting for HBOMax to get with the program. Hell, they haven't even updated their roadmap since launch--makes me wonder if this is a last-ditch effort for the service to remain viable. 

    3. GSG

      GSG

      Yeah I was pretty pissed it wasn't on any of the Fire devices at first (but that's been changed). We had to use our Playstation for it and it was the laggiest s#!t I've ever seen. 

  6. Wow...Scott Frost as our new HC *AND* Warner Bros. just removed Zach Snyder from making any more DC Comic movies! Looks like some of us have been exceptionally nice this year...

      +1 to ZRod.  I've ridden in both the XC90 (SUV) and S90 (comparable to the Audi A6) both vehicles are fantastic.  The fact they are incredibly safe is an added bonus.

      Did not say it was a bad thing.. Volvo did get away from making "boxy" cars, just like DC went to having trailers.  I always wanted a Volvo. Tested the Audi Q7...went with another high end

    4. ZRod

      True. They did keep the box grille and overall chunky shapes though. 

  7. You know...now would be a good time to resurrect Tunnel Walk of Shame...

      Idk. Bo, Taylor and co were like cartoon characters. This staff is a horror show. Really nothing cute or funny about it.

      We need some comedy other than what we see on the field.

  8. YouTube TV dropped all of the Disney channels because of the ongoing negotiations/carrier dispute.

     

    Sling TV has their first month for $10 and has most of the lost channels, sports-wise. Good alternative to tide you over until Disney and YTTV come to an agreement. 
     

    And no, HULU TV isn’t a good alternative, plus why reward Disney and Comcast? At least YTTV is giving folks a credit while this issue persists…

      I might take a look at Sling, but I'm mostly hoping that YTTV and Disney come to an agreement relatively soon. I primarily had a subscription for Husker football and Formula 1. NFL is like a 'in the background' mood on Sundays. With the Huskers as they've been, it's really only been F1, and that season is over now for a few months. I'll probably only cancel if this continues for weeks.

      They kissed and made up as of yesterday afternoon. Channels are all back (though you have to add them to your view to see them if you have a custom guide...)

      Cox did that with a major network during football season. CBS I think.

      So you're sayin they got buck$ but no boners. Sounds right.

  11. Any good deals on NCAA Football 2012? I've got a 20% off coupon for Toys 'R' Us, but didn't know if better deals were out there.

    1. Husker_x

      Husker_x

      That's a pretty decent discount. Sometimes if you trade in the previous version you can get 10 bucks off at like a Gamestop. Not sure. I'm not sold on getting this version. I didn't like last year's.

  12. Anyone done Coco Key in Omaha with the kiddos? Looking to stay for a night when we visit this summer...

      Haven't been. But if it's anywhere near Q street in South Omaha (60th - 48th), you might be a little disappointed (my childhood roots)

      It's 72nd and I80 basically. The hotel is great.

  13. Anyone else sitting on your couch for this weeks game?

  14. Anyone here in IT and does Admin/Dev work on Salesforce? Wondering how difficult it is to pick up...

      Blackshirt39

      I have only worked with it a little bit. It's not too bad. It can be pretty clunky but it does work. The API is a nightmare though.

      I am an IT recruiter... does that help?

      I work with people that do. Do you have any questions? I know that if you get certified and do the trainings you are highly employable and can make a boat load of cash.

  15. Anyone know of a good tool that will let me convert iTunes movies and music to formats the Android can play? Looking to get a new Evo 4G, but all my media is iTunes-based.

      Handbrake is awesome (and free) for videos.

      Thanks Carlfense--I'll look it up.

      808 Husker, I looked at DoubleTwist, and it appears it works fine w/audio, but it doesn't do video (e.g. digital movie copies) unless it's a podcast.

       

      Of course, if I'm mistaken in this belief, please educate me. :)
