Bery/Mop: Since No One Lives Forever is unavailable to buy, Rock Paper Shotgun linked to a download of it. (not a warez/torrent site) -- (link) - Tim Jul 10, 19:37 2
- Torrent or no torrent, someone still owns that property. I guess this is one way to expose the copyright owner. - Mop Jul 10, 19:41
- (It's still madness that nobody will find a way to get it on Steam or GOG. Someone is missing the boat big time.) -- nm - Tim Jul 10, 19:38
it's fun that they're using corked balls for the home run derby! -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 19:35 3
- All baseballs are corked... -- nm - Ender Jul 10, 19:37 1
  - Fallout 4 taught me this. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 19:47
- They should have a round with just fruit. Oranges. Apples. Papaya. Banana. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 19:36
I have bought 2 things already. A 34.95 echo dot and a knife sharpner -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 19:33 1

4K TV Prime Day Deal - Flavorize Jul 10, 19:21 8
- I wish I needed a TV. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 19:36
- It's a great price, but those reviews are very mixed. Also of note, Fire products do not get VUDU. The workaround is to use your roku though -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 19:35 4
  - The concern is that it's not 10-bit. I love the price, but I'm torn. -- nm - David Jul 10, 19:39 3
    - Is the 10bit concern only for the software portion where a Roku work around would negate that? Or is it the actual television operation? -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 19:39 2
      - It's the tv. 10-bit color has an exponentially larger color palette. - David Jul 10, 19:44
      - This picture sums it up nicely. 8-bit color processing vs. 10-bit color processing. -- (link) - Mop Jul 10, 19:44
- You missed the headline. $400. No, I didn't miss a zero. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 19:33

  - For sure! -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 20:23
- I wonder how far the one that hit the roof would've gone -- nm - Flavorize Jul 10, 19:22 1
  - I hope StatCast has it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 19:24
- LoMo would have won -- nm - groiny Jul 10, 19:21

- I liked it - but I tend to like Rainn Wilson stuff (Backstrom, Super) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 19:21
Even the ESPN crew have a feeling whos gonna win -- nm - budice Jul 10, 19:13 5

-5 Qale Points to Remlik for eating whatever the hell Purple Kale is. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 19:08 6

    - Beofre that 513 blast he kinda looked like he was spent -- nm - eag Jul 10, 19:09
- I agree its a stupid rule to make him stop once he hit 13 -- nm - eag Jul 10, 19:02 5
  - It would be stupid to keep going and tire out but we all want to keep watching them destroy baseballs. -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 19:03 4
    - Isnt the one v one something fairly new ? - eag Jul 10, 19:07 3
      - Yeah, they made changes last year. This seems to work well but maybe less time in each round to save energy a bit. - Krusty Jul 10, 19:11 2
        
        Yeah wasnt it like 10 out before anything that didnt go over was considered an out if im right -- nm - eag Jul 10, 19:15 1
        
        Right. That worked okay but I think this is a good improvement. -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 19:18
