  1. Just a minor update but you can now log in with your username or your email address. In the coming weeks I'm looking to have another new skin online, as well as a new notification system and some minor cosmetic changes that are skin independent.
  2. More updates and a new skin coming soon.

  3. I do find the console experience to be better. And unless you are a die-hard keyboard and mouse player, it probably is for just about everything else. You might be giving up a bit of graphics quality, but unless you're keeping an expensive gaming rig up to date with hardware you probably won't miss it. Plus you can grab a console for about the price of a graphics card anyway.
  4. Basically I'm just waiting until the board is a bit more active all around. As TNB says, all posts in that forum were preserved for its eventual return.
  5. I agree generally, but the last time I owned a desktop PC was probably 10 years ago. Since then I've gone through about 4 laptops. I just don't like sitting at a desk to use a PC. For me, portability is more important than ability. I have both PS3 and Xbox360 to feed my gaming habits, and my phone and tablet when I'm out. I do hope to get a new laptop by early next year, but not sure when exactly. Maybe once this site ever shows any signs of profitability. Back on the subject of BF3, let me know how it is once you get it running. I've been looking forward to it for a while now, so hopefully the full game lives up to expectations.
  6. Good, but sad story if you want a read of what became of SoccerPulse: http://www.soccershouts.com/forum/topic/10281-welcome-to-soccershouts/ Fortunately I made the decision when I did. I've been able to redirect people from SoccerPulse to SoccerShouts for a few months now, at least until last week. It appears the owners of the SP domain have finally disappeared and the server SP files resided on shut down. I know I got an earful from a handful of people about my decision to up and move the site and become SoccerShouts, but that reaffirms the decision. Had I not done so we could all be staring at a domain that doesn't go anywhere.
  7. I'd like to say I have a better reason why I don't play PC games anymore, but the truth of the matter is that my laptop is an ancient piece of junk. Just about anything made in the past 3 years that requires more effort to run than say, Bejeweled, is liable to bring my computer to a grinding halt. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. I'm trying to be good and hold off picking up BF3 until next month. I just know Amazon or someone is going to have a great price for Black Friday sales.
  8. Other Sports videos are now gone, and Tech talk has returned to the Lounge.

  9. BF3 beta was freely downloadable, though I wouldn't put it past anyone to still try something stupid like that. I'll be picking up the Xbox 360 version myself, but if you were looking for pc: http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2763061/780041/
  10. Confirmed skin issue. I'm working on it now. Update: Should be fixed now.
  11. Bradley Cooper (from Hangover) & Robert De Niro are making traveling around parts of my neighborhood difficult this month. They've been all of a couple blocks from my house shooting a movie called The Silver Linings Playbook (IMDB). http://www.ridleyparkonline.com/profiles/blogs/bradley-cooper-shooting-movie-in-ridley-park?xg_source=activity
  12. I\'m sure I will play it eventually. I\'ve got a backlog of games to get to already, and battlefield 3 will be moving to the top of that list, so it could be a while.

  14. Since about 3:30pm EST on Wednesday September 28, SoccerShouts was offline and broken. The cause of this downtime was a hardware fault with our hosting provider. Over the last 30 hours or so work was being done to undo the damage and get all sites restored. Fortunately between our backups with our host and my own personal backups, we were protected against any real loss of data. Due to when the backups were made, it appears less than one day of posts were lost. While the downtime was longer than any of us would have liked to see, it is good that things are back up and running, with minimal damage.
  15. Turned the cache off for the next 3 hours. Hopefully you pop back in during that time. It may just be badly cached data again.
  16. None here via FF7 on my pc and forum runner on my mobile. What kind of problems?
  17. I temporarily closed that because no one was using it for the last couple of months.
  18. Guest posting now permitted in non-video forums. Keep an eye out for spammers.

      Just delete those posts if it happens. I can always block IP's. If it does become a problem I will require all guest posts to be approved before being displayed.

      But whats the major reason for allowing Guests to post?

      Simple: making it easier for people to share their thoughts. Not everyone wants to bother registering, confirming email etc, just to make a comment.

  19. Steve Jobs, dead today age 56. Not surprising with his health as it was, but what a shock to the industry this is going to be.

      Dennis Lillie passed away as well. RIP

  20. This is a show I catch sporadically, and never in any order. Usually come across it when channel surfing and end up leaving it on for a bit. Not a bad show, but I honestly couldn't see myself watching 10 seasons of it. Then again, there's few shows of any kind that I want to watch 10 seasons of.
  21. My status update went back in time!

  22. I will admit I've never seen a single episode. Never understood the hype.
  23. Shame, guess my last post was lost here too. At the time of that post I had just finished downloading the beta. Now it\'s available on xbox, ps3 and pc. Anyone else give it a try yet?
  24. Maybe it was all just a big plan to give you more time to dedicate to school.
