Or Mop Up March, go back through your trophy list and pick 1+ games to finish up the plat that you have always meant to but have never gotten around to it.

I smoked a blunt with a pimp once while his hooker was passed out on the bed. I don't get experiences like those working from home, but that's probly a good thing. Or when the pipes burst and I was in ankle deep water trying to turn on the generator (dumb). also bunch of other 'fun' stuff, like when a girl invited me to her room and you open the door and she's topless or when a girl invites you to party when you get off work and you show up and she says some guy is gonna pay her $100 to let her pee on him and im like ok i gotta go. bunch of other messed up stuff. and never go in a cheap hotel pool/spa. most of the time we had county health inspector shut it down and the owner would tell me to just move the signs when they leave. lots of fun stuff. I also quit cuz they started having me do alot of work like night audit and doing tax exemption stuff every 3 months and they just kept adding work because they knew I would do it and not complain. I was watching chaturbate and printing trophy guides most of the time so I still can't complain, but after they shut down the motel 6 down the street it just became inundated with scammy people that would threaten to jump the counter regularly. and then I would have to call the cops and then the owner would get mad because I shouldn't involve the police because we were already under enough police scrutiny and i was gonna scare away all the drug addicts/hookers/etc. and it was promoted to be an asshole. the monthly rates were cheaper than the weekly rates which were cheaper than nightly rates. but these people didn't have $650 for the month, so they we would have to charge them $200/week, but then they couldn't make those payments so then it was $70/night. then they run out of money and have no place to live and are pissed because we would put them in crappy rooms with leaking ceiling and the owner was just putting all the money in his pocket and never fix the place up but he didn't care cuz I was the 'happy white face' of the business and I just smiled and nod and was generally chill and nice when people complained. People would complain about the location and the hotels cleanliness and maintenance issues etc, but always such great customer service from the night manager front desk. blah blah wall of text. peace guys

Now this is a reality show I would have watched.

 
Verizon slowed down Netflix to a crawl on FiOS (perhaps only if you weren't paying for their TV service, because I don't and not everyone saw this effect, but I sure did) until Netflix payed them money to stop them from doing that (or as they'd like to say, paid for a fast lane, but really they were paying to not be artificially given a slow lane). I had to use a VPN service to hide what I was accessing, and then Netflix suddenly performed awesome. Turn off the VPN and it dropped to VHS quality. I don't have to use the VPN any more, but there was a while when I had to. It only stopped at some point after Netflix started to pay them money to stop doing it. Netflix would eventually need to pass those costs on to subscribers. Net neutrality means they won't be able to do that kind of bullshit any more.

fucking verizon.

I know there was issue for some people with netflix on comcast but it was a little different as it involved using a middleman vs paying for a direct connection to comcast and not comcast intentionally slowing netflix down.

nope same thing. They were slowing netflix down by pushing streaming to a smaller line... once netflix paid them they got their own line that sped things up. Net neutrality won't allow that

Comcast was absolutely intentionally slowing them down too. Netflix paid them just like they did Verizon.

That was my plan for March, finish off the plats on most of my 4forFeb games. I have 2nd playthroughs on 3 of the 6 I finished, so my March won't be much different from my Feb.

 
Verizon were the ones who challenged the 2010 Net Neutrality rules the FCC had in place to begin with, got them overturned, and now they're crying like a bunch of bitches that it didn't go their way.  Eat a bag of herpes infested dicks, Verizon; you brought this upon yourselves.

 
Has anyone had any problems with jumping in GOW3? I feel like I keep dieing at places because I fall from the double jump not registering or something. It's getting pretty frustrating.

Not entirely accurate.

A few months before Netflix launched Open Connect, it also purchased transit from Cogent, which had a settlement-free peering arrangement with Comcast. Netflix’s experience with Cogent resembled its experience with Level 3. Shortly after Cogent began delivering Netflix traffic requested by Comcast subscribers, Cogent’s routes into Comcast’s network started to congest. According to Cogent’s CEO, “[f]or most of Cogent’s history with Comcast…[as] Comcast’s subscribers demanded more content from Cogent’s customers, Comcast would add capacity to the interconnection points with Cogent to handle that increased traffic.” After Cogent began carrying Netflix traffic, however, “Comcast refused to continue to augment capacity at our interconnection points as it had done for years prior.”

Comcast just didnt give more bandwidth for free like they had been it sounds like. Sounds like free market to me, you wanna use a shit ton of bandwidth, you need to pay for it.

Gonna go with this decision will just raise rates as they didnt force unbundling to increase competition and Comcast is gonna get paid one way or another.

I love how they have used the Title II laws to get right of way access to bring the FiOS service to places. Now they claim they should not be classified as Title II so they can avoid this new ruling. You can't have it both ways Verizon! You should have listened to AT&T and Comcast when they told you not to bring that lawsuit. Now I am happy you were too stupid and greedy to listen.

 
I'm sure zero people care but today at 3p CST netherealm will be showing off something about brutalities on their twitch stream and maybe some goro? Most definitely nsfw unless you work at the violence store.

Color Guardians will release on 4/14 for PS4/Vita: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/02/26/color-guardians-coming-to-ps4-ps-vita-on-april-14th/

3 things to note:

1. The playable characters look nightmarish.

2. The developer confirmed that it'll be cross-buy and have a plat.

3. The blog article mentions a gameplay comparison to Ikaruga, oddly enough.
Click to expand...
Kinda remind me of the viruses from Dr Mario.

And it does share a similar color swapping feature that Ikaruga has.

 
I'd rather we had another 4forFeb type thing in March, instead of a Mop Up March. I'm sure I will be outvoted, so I'll just wait for April…. Plus by then I should have PuyoPuyo Tetris! That's definitely going on my list.

You think it is just fucking coincidence that Comcast decided not to continue to increase bandwidth on that interconnect after Netflix changed to that carrier? Really?

You are also completely wrong with the argument about it using a shit ton of bandwidth. Who cares what traffic is being used by the consumers who pay Comcast for their service? Do you think they slow down facebook traffic? If you don't know, let me tell you the answer... NO. Do they slow down google? No, not that either. Guess what the 2 highest percentages of traffic on the internet are? You guessed it: Facebook and Google.

Why not throttle those instead of Netflix? Well they don't compete with me (as of yet anyway).

If the consumer is using too much data, then throttle the hell out of them. That is why there is caps on data amount. They want to be able to limit consumers using their network fine. Also limiting what they can get via your network is giving them too much power to control what data people are allowed to see.

I am all for free enterprise. Free enterprise unchecked is a serious serious issue though.

I have mixed views on it which are not going to go along with majority of people who read this thread, but in reality I dont think this is going to do a whole heck of a lot, they didnt impose unbundling so there will be no increased competition and from reading through this:

http://qz.com/256586/the-inside-story-of-how-netflix-came-to-pay-comcast-for-internet-traffic/

It doesnt sound like comcast was actually throttling netflix traffic only, they were just not adding capacity from the middlemen netflix was using and forced netflix to connect to comcast directly and charge a fee directly to netflix, which im guessing is an amount based on traffic netflix pumps through comcast.

I see no mention of vpn type stuff affecting what comcast was doing, but verizon is the fucking devil and really the reason all this stuff went this way with that lawsuit they won forcing more regs on the industry eventually.

 
The rules for 4ForFeb was that there were no rules. I am not sure why we couldn't just do that again and people can make it whatever 4 games for whatever reason they want them to be. Does it really matter if it has a catchy name?

And if Cleaner doesn't want to bother with tracking anything, then there is always this too....

Except if you do your research, Comcast was right there with Verizon pumping money into lobbying against net neutrality in this whole fight. Most people don't realize how much money is used by Comcast to stop anything that may not give them an advantage. For instance, Comcast spent 2 million here in Colorado to stop the easy ability for Fiber companies to come in and set up shop, right around when Google was looking at Denver for the first fiber city.

Comcast is just as bad if not worse then Verizon when it comes to this, and you can bet your ass they are going to throw a hell of a lot of money to overturn the Net neutrality laws just passed.

I don't know about you guys, but a big motivator for me was that Cleaner mentioned prizes of some sort (though I might be wrong).

Yeah, it's HIGHlarious to see somebody saying Comcast isn't the devil. I hate Comcast WAY more than I hate Verizon. Verizon didn't steal money from us, but Comcast did.

Many years ago when I was single and living in an apartment I had Comcast cable and internet. When I got married and we moved into a house I canceled my internet and TV service at the apartment, of course. All was peachy fine until many months later we get a call from Comcast saying we haven't been paying our bill and to PAY UP. I told them we canceled and all seemed fine and in any case we sure had not received any bills (yet they seemed to have our new phone number). Well they fought us tooth and nail and it was clear there was absolutely no way I was going to win the argument unless I got a lawyer and they just wore me out and eventually I just paid them. As far as I'm concerned they robbed me. Never ever going to give Comcast money again.

No reason to get upset, just trying to have a civil discourse.

Whether they "throttled" due to netflix traffic or the increase in traffic through those middlemen, I dont know, I just know what I read from the paper netflix wrote which stated that cogent said comcast wasnt adding more capacity like they would do in the past.

So tell me though, what does this solve? What problem was there? Netflix paid comcast, twc, verizon, etc to direct connect to their networks, and everyone gets good service from netflix, who accounts for 35% of bandwidth in NA during peak hours.

Had they imposed unbundling, then Id be all for it, as is I dont see what this is going to accomplish?
