- i will not play for like a fraction of that -- nm - gerald Aug 10, 10:11

- I'm in. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Aug 10, 10:46
- Better make it a ManU kit then... - budice Aug 10, 09:56 2
  - Have they spent enough yet? I think they have a few more holes to fill. Another 150mill euros should suffice. *smh* -- nm - CQ Aug 10, 10:00 1
    - Theyve always had the spending power, just needed to get their act together. - budice Aug 10, 10:01
It's been a crazy morning, but that John Saunders news breaks my heart. - David Aug 10, 09:52 2

More NMS (Sorry): Has anyone heard if the universe is shared between PS4 and PC? IE: will PC players log on to find that tons of stuff has already - oblique Aug 10, 09:36 18
- 18 gazillion solar systems - there will be plenty to go around -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:24
- Another NMS thing: Seems that in a space station you can visit incoming ships, buy stuff from them and then sell it right to the station for profit - oblique Aug 10, 10:06 12
  - this is correct. Those traders are also where you can get new ships. They all will sell theirs -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:25 9
    - I may be too "EVE" in my thinking but stuff like that (buying from ships/selling to station) with zero effort seems broken -- nm - oblique Aug 10, 10:29 8
      - EVE needs to have a proper economy though. NMS does not. -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 10:33 1
        
        It's just my own desires for the "integrity" of the game. I don't really want to have the option to just rake in cash by "exploiting" some loophole - oblique Aug 10, 10:34
      - I wonder how often the goods overlap though. Not everything is available from each trader/station -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:32 5
        
        and I bet the devs are watching all this cross talk too -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:32 4
        
        Sure. It may not be common. The guy that posted on reddit said he made about 2M in 30 minutes doing it - oblique Aug 10, 10:33 3
        
        which just ruins the game for him. -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:35 2
        
        and that 2M really doesn't do anything for him. He can't buy ship/exosuit/tool upgrades with it, nor can he horde lots of supplies. - decline Aug 10, 10:37 1
        
        Yeah, like I said, it's just one of those things that would be so easy to not be a part of the game - oblique Aug 10, 10:40
  - I knew you could barter with the captains, didn't know what the gold star meant. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 10:20 1
    - (check my Tips link from yesterday!!) -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 10:30
- Different servers. -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 09:36 3
  - sweet. I just wish it was $60 now. It's a little pricey -- nm - oblique Aug 10, 09:37 2
    - Cripes how much is the PC copy? -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 09:38 1
      - Sorry. *wasn't* $60. It's $60 -- nm - oblique Aug 10, 09:39
Is it crazy to purchase a PS4 for sole purpose of being able to play No Man's Sky? - Jovian Aug 10, 09:32 20
- it's addictive -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:27
- at these prices it's crazy not to! -- nm - mafic Aug 10, 09:45
- hmmm, I could also finally get the Uncharted's and also The Last of Us. -- nm - Jovian Aug 10, 09:41 1
  - DUH -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 10:33

  - Fun Fact: You can play the most Zelda titles on the 3DS. - Qale Aug 10, 09:51 2
    - The homebrew cards for the DS are a bit of genius. R4, etc. -- nm - budice Aug 10, 09:53 1
      - I never got into ROMs, but with Raspberry Pi, I assume it's even easier than ever. -- nm - Qale Aug 10, 10:22
- It's the Best Place To Play. Just think of all the top notch exclusives you'll *ALSO* be able to play!! -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 09:34
- There is Final Fantasy 15 finally coming out next month. -- nm - Qale Aug 10, 09:34
- PC that shit. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:33
- It wouldn't be the first time someone bought a console just for one game. -- nm - Max Aug 10, 09:33
- Do you not have a PC? -- nm - oblique Aug 10, 09:33 7
  - I do. I dont think it will be able to run this well though. -- nm - Jovian Aug 10, 09:34 6
    - Core i3, GTX 480. Not terribly harsh specs -- nm - oblique Aug 10, 09:35
    - Invest the $ in a computer upgrade, then. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:34 4
      - Better yet, sell the Xbone for $ toward the PS4! -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 09:35 3
        
        Have PS4s ever gotten better controllers? - Spawn Aug 10, 09:37 2
        
        No, it's an embarrassing product. - David Aug 10, 10:43
        
        I can only assume you mean the Dualshock 3 because the Dualshock 4 is a great controller. -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 10:19
14-Year-Old Boy Shot And Killed By LAPD Officers -- (link) - budice Aug 10, 09:27 3
- 14 year old with a handgun. -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 09:45 2
  - Depending on rules of engagement, that might not be enough. - Will Hunting Aug 10, 09:51 1
    - true, but still a WTF. -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 09:51
NFL Rumor: NFL wants Adele to headline 2017 Super Bowl Halftime -- nm - Strongbad Aug 10, 09:25 9
- This feels like an unforced error. This is the year to get Guns N' Roses up there. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 10, 09:33 1
  - Guns N Roses & Kendrick Lamar. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:36
- My gut -- 1 year too late. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 10, 09:25 6
  - My gut: she'd need another more upbeat act with her to be a success - Strongbad Aug 10, 09:27 2
    - THIS. her songs are a fucking mood killer -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 10:19
    - Because there's no crying in football. THERE'S NO CRYING IN FOOTBALL! No crying! -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:30
  - My gut -- wrong football. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:26 2
    - My gut - hungry - decline Aug 10, 09:27
    - Given her hand gestures during performances, she'd be a helluva goalie. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 10, 09:27
Going to the David Brent: Life on the Road premiere tonight - the band are doing a gig in Leicester Square beforehand -- nm - LMS Aug 10, 09:23 1
- I love the man, but boy is this Brent thing strange. Have fun -- nm - CQ Aug 10, 09:51
SS's first Tuesday beat the first Tuesdays of Civil War, BvS and Avengers 2 -- (link) - Shaun Aug 10, 09:22 7
- The structure of the third paragraph (sentence) made me laugh. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:26
- Early May, March, Early May....Early August. I should hope it did well in comparison. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 10, 09:25 5
  - FWIW, its following a similar trajectory to Green Lantern and last year`s Fantastic Four movie. Ahead of Avengers 2 and BvS though. -- nm - Roger More Aug 10, 09:29
  - Considering August is still more or less the summer's dumpster for releases, it's impressive imo. -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 09:29 3
    - August isn't. Late August/early September is. -- nm - David Aug 10, 09:58
    - also, it's only a dumpster because studios don't want to risk doing something "new" - Reagen Aug 10, 09:39
    - Only the last half of the month. They weren`t releasing SS on any dumpster weekend. (But SS`s weekdays are better than I expected) -- nm - Roger More Aug 10, 09:33
Dumbest post on B2 (click to see if you won!) -- (link) - ty97 Aug 10, 09:22 [Backboard] 4
- [deleted]
- Except for the fact that he is correct? -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:23 2
  - Your alignment with wrongness is so predictable! -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 09:25 1
    - even *I* agree! -- nm - all the boys love venus in scorpio Aug 10, 10:08
NMS knowledge stone: 'you have learned the Korvax word for "Korvax."' soooo... Korvax? -- nm - mafic Aug 10, 09:20
LIR: NMS: Underwater monolith. Did you get to it? Some tips online suggest using your jetpack to launch above the water and then slam down into it - oblique Aug 10, 09:18 2
- I did, I just had to swim down to it, I was only under for like 10 seconds. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 09:44

Ender, from B2 : I have to think that when Ayer was hired, he gave the studio his plans for the movie.... - groiny Aug 10, 09:13 3
- Don't get me wrong, WB is also to blame. They gave him the greenlight to make a bad movie. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 09:58 1
  - see, and that's just it. You (WB) hired the director, and handed him the keys.... - groiny Aug 10, 10:12

      - [deleted] 7

        Jaws is hysterical in that it was supposed to be a much more in-your-face scare...but the damn shark kept breaking. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 10, 09:36 3
        
        yes, that is part of why I hope it never, ever gets remade. - groiny Aug 10, 09:38 2

        oh, I know, I saw it too...... - groiny Aug 10, 09:43
- I find it interesting that this seems to be the place where some people draw the line. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 09:17 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Spiderman was going to be my example. A blatant money grab when the originals went stale. Un-original thinking and not a re-imagination - decline Aug 10, 09:25 1
      - [deleted]
