just came to share that goddamn is luigis mansion 2 a fucking good game. the original was a good game but this one is all kinds of awesome. all the neat little touches really shine through and luigi has got personality in spades compared to his boring brother. the game is no slouch in the looks department as well esp with the 3d on.

Anyone else notice? Those fuckers finally did it. Shaw and Telus are charging extra fees and setting limits on data usage. I thought the government ruled this was illegal? They’re not just throttling your connection, but actually charging you extra if you go past your allotted data!

What did they cap it at? That’s a piss off for sure if that’s the case

I knew Shaw has always been charging for overages/throttling.

Telus didn’t charge for overages before, but recently have added a small footnote to their Internet Plans conditions page:

Additional usage charges may apply.

As for throttling, providers are supposed to publically disclose whenever they pull off a stunt like that. If Telus does throttle, then yes it would be in violation of the rules set out by the CRTC.

In light of the above, the Commission directs all primary ISPs, as a condition of providing retail Internet services, to disclose to their retail customers, clearly and prominently on their websites, information related to their technical ITMPs.12 The ISP must also reference its online disclosures in relevant marketing materials, customer contracts, and terms of service. Online disclosure should include the following information:
why ITMPs are being introduced;
who is affected by the ITMP;
when the Internet traffic management will occur;
what type of Internet traffic (e.g. application, class of application, protocol) is subject to management; and
how the ITMP will affect a user’s Internet experience, including the specific impact on speeds.

Lots of Centremen on Team Canada.

Good picks overall. I’m not so sure on Rick Nash and Hamhuis. I would have definitely included Martin St Louis.

I can say the only name I know on that entire list is crosby and luongo.

Whatevs, i’ll just wear my yzerman team canada jersey and call everybody casuals with their non yzerman jerseys.

not very stoked about nash, kunitz, hamhuis, marleau and carter

i hope we dont end up getting turin’d again :S

marty st. louis should be on team canada and so should james neal.
Iginla has also been one of the highest scoring canadians in the last decade and he always performs well on the International stage.
i think Marc Andre Fleury shouldve been the 3rd string goaltender.

Agreed. Nash won’t be as much of a presence on the big ice. Should have had Giroux or St Louis for sure. Kunitz’ stats when he’s not paired with Crosby are actually pretty dismal.

Glad they got Bouwmeester and Pietrangelo on there. Very deserving of the spots.

Guise, GUISE. are we gonna lose this year?

probably

the swedes are gonna be pretty unbeatable tbh

our goaltending is also pretty shoddy

i love how hudler gets snubbed by the czech team and then gets 2 highlight reel points the same day

Somebody tell the evo wankers to purchase these bad boys with all that money they gouge out of their attendees.

apparently playstation is going cloud.

no console required.

“There’s a slightly perceptible lag between button presses and the corresponding action onscreen,” wrote Chris Welch for The Verge.

“I imagine that for the games that don’t require a very fast frame rate that lag won’t make any difference at all,” he said. “But for those that run at 50 to 60 frames per second it could be an issue if you’re not close to a Sony server.”

I got an elder scrolls online beta invite for this weekend… I’ll have to see how shitty it is since i didnt get the chance to at PAX!

Lemme know how it is, I’ve got lots of time for Elder Scrolls, and even if it’s just a throwaway MMO it may be fun for a while.

Hey Angry Mike. Here is your Powergirl.
