I'm not going to buy the game for another month or two, what I've learned over the years is that it takes about that long for 2K to release a patch to their basketball games and fix the annoying bugs that always accompany the games.

Unintended added bonus is that the game will likely be on sale by then too...

if I register for LeaguePass using an out of state address, would games still be blacked out in NJ?

I'm assuming yes and that LeaguePass does their blackouts based on your IP address, but can anyone confirm?

All I get when contacting NBA.com are generic e-mail responses that are no help at all.

Anyone looking into switching to AT&T, be aware that they're changing their return policy from 30 days to 14 days.

I posted the source and commentary in the Tech thread.

It's based off your IP.

What happened to this forum? All the threads are a chore to read now and it feels like people are yelling when I read them. Start the games!

Sank a solid 10+ hours into X-COM Enemy Unknown and lost. Yes lost as in now I have to start over. Strangely enough the whole experience was very rewarding in comparison to the push-you-along-hold-your-hand-everyone-is going-to-easily-beat-this-game-style-games that litter the market today.

I've gotten a pretty good grasp of the battle system, so I think my second time around I won't be as easily overwhelmed in the early going but my base management still blows, I was randomly clicking on things and hoping for the best...

Kind of a bummer that I lost when I did though, I was coming off arguably my best match :-(...

OMG that was possibly the best thing I've seen on the internet since EBM. :rofl2:

That was like a real life episode of the Boondocks.

Feel bad that dude is probably going to lose him job and his pension over some hood rat who will infest her neighborhood with future crack dealers and Omar from the Wire killers every time she spreads her legs.

Sometimes tards just deserve to get knocked the **** out. :lol:

LOL at the dumb bitch screaming "That's a girl, that's a girl!"

Yeah, just because you're a girl doesn't mean you get to talk **** and get physical and not expect anything back.

But god damn, what a response! "You goin' to hell now, you goin' to hell now!" :lol:

I'll let my man Kevin Hart speak on this:

Hey Jeff, I remember you saying that you were looking into getting a new phone.

On Black Friday, the SGS3 on Sprint will be $50: http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/27/spri ... -iii-sale/

Sweet. I really want to upgrade. Strangely enough, the only reason I still have a blackberry is because I use the bbm to talk to this girl I previously dated.

If I get a S3 it'll be with this particular offer.

I'm glad that woman lost before she even started to battle in the sense of our court systems, but man I can't stand Yormark so that's a little disappointing as well. :lol:
