EA needs to step away from the way they currently handle map packs in Battlefield because they split the community up.   A lot of BF4 servers have to resort to just playing the vanilla maps because they don't get enough players otherwise.  

IT would be nice if EA either did something along the lines that Cheapie suggested or if they (at least) made the maps free after ~6 months.  Even if the maps were free I think they'd still sell a lot of Premium passes because most diehards want to get the content ~6 months before everyone else.  And because knowledge that the DLC maps would be hosted just as frequently would be even more incentive to get them ahead of time.  

Plus EA could keep the price of the original game higher in the long run because of all the additional content it would get and that would help make up for any loss in season pass revenue.  And overall the community would be stronger.  You'd have more goodwill.    

I feel like making the maps free after 6 months will only make those who purchased the map packs feel better about their purchase because they have more opportunities to play the maps they paid for.

Cheapy you need to file a complaint about that mailman. Not delivering the mail is grounds enough, but throwing your package is whole new level. Completely unacceptable. If he learns that he can pull that crap without any negative impact to him, he will just do it again.

Watch this, bitches: Chris Harris on Cars (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Harris_on_Cars_(TV_series) ). It's an absolutely fantastic show about cars. No screwing around, just an hour of pure car porn.

That outro was nuts.

Isn't Tokyo Hot a wellknown porn publisher in Japan? I thought Cheapy was putting to much emphasis on the two words, Shipy just didn't get it.

 
Call the postmaster in town and complain.  Stop being a pussy!  The postman works for you.  If he isn't doing his job you don't write little notes and hope it fixes things.  You go to his boss and make sure that you the customer are getting the service that your taxes are paying for.

About 2 years ago we were having some delivery issues at work and a complaint to the postmaster with some raised voices solved everything.  There is no way you should accept the service you are describing.  You've been in Japan way too long and need to you get your New York attitude back.  

 
I saw the pictures of Cheapy's mail slot on Twitter. The mailman is kind of right, that's a crappy door with a teeny tiny mail slot. Shipwreck offered the simplest solution that Cheapy dismissed, just buy a mailbox for your front door. 

 
This past weekend Best Buy had a PlayStation VR demo, running off of a regular PS4. I played EVE Valkyrie. Compared to the Vive demo I tried once it's resolution isn't as sharp. The headset is more comfortable though.

Cheapy said the door has been there since 50s. That means every mail man has been doing their job with this door for over 60 years. This guy should do the same thing or else he should be fired. We all have to do things for our jobs that we don't want to do. If we don't do them we get replaced with someone else who will do those things. That's the reality of work.

 
Get a 50s style mail box to match your 50s door.

Speaking about Deus Ex, I find the game extremely unforgiving unless you are familiar with Human Revolution. It really doesn't hold your hand during gameplay, which I like about it. You can play it "action" but its really meant to be played stealth (you actually get more EXP for playing stealth) 

 
Hi!  It's me.  I am the target audience for the PS4 controller adapter.  I built my current computer from scratch, and I would sooner put a bullet in my head than do it again.  It's a nightmare of cables and cards and drivers, and the last thing I want to do in 2016 is seek out a homemade kinda-driver from a Trenchcoat Man in a back alley who requires a secret handjob handshake to hand over the goods for the esteemed privilege of having my computer recognize a vague set of "Gamepad" buttons and sliders or think it's looking at a 360 controller--I already use one of those.  I want to connect my controller and have the thing go "This is a Playstation 4 controller, great!  Press the logo button and I will tell you how much power it has left."

Having said that, I'll pick up an Xbox One Elite Controller in a heartbeat the moment someone says the D-pad is worth a Benjamin and-a-half.

I won't say the dpad is worth that much (actually I think the whole thing is overpriced), but if you do buy one make sure to pay for an extended service plan. They only have a 6 month warranty, so you need a plan in case something breaks on it. I didn't buy one and I'm regretting it.

Postmen aren't really allowed to leave mail on the porch due to the chance that wind/rain/snow etc. messes it up. Not to say it doesn't happen but unless it's an enclosed porch the postmaster probably wouldn't be to excited to hear about it :p. Since packages are heavier we are allowed to leave those but if it's raining/snowing we are supposed to protect the package from damage and leave a pick up notice if nobody is around.

You could always get a wall mount box if you don't want to confront the guy.

Complaining to the postmaster should clear any issues you have up though or at least get you some answers.

Cheapy should sit on the other side of the door and push the mail back at the mail carrier. It won't solve anything but it probably will be a funny story.

The Project Diva games are a blast and the music is so catchy!
 
Regarding the Bluetooth/Dualshock 4 part of the show. It is possible make use of the Bluetooth in the DS4 on PC. I do it with a third party application called InputMapper. It does both wired and Bluetooth setup of the DS4.

And i think the only reason for the USB adapter to exist is because not every body has a Bluetooth chip or dongle in their PC. I know i didnt for years, i only got one last year for the sole purpose of using the DS4 on my PC. I otherwise never use Bluetooth on my PC, hell i dont even use it on my phone, i find it old and obsolete and a stupid hassle.

Why can you just remove the old slot, widen it and install a new slot. I would do this and leave a note  for the mailmain.

"Dear Sir, I heard you were unhappy with the mail slot. So I took your Christmas tip and put it toward the newly installed slot. Hope you enjoy!"

also, Jess Eisenberg was pretty much born to play John Carmack 

 
"LOL why would I watch a depressing documentary or anything that may be informative or educational LOL only video games or comic books please!!" 

"All bad movies are depressing. No good movies are." - Roger Ebert

More depth in those 9 words than most people can muster up in a lifetime.

I agree that someone will take the "No Man's Sky" formula and improve it. Personally, I am hoping for a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" universe. Traveling across an absurd universe with comical situations would be my dream. Hell, I've been wanting for this since I read the books back in high school. Damn, that sounds fun.

SOMEONE, STEAL THIS IDEA!
