Also I still have to figure out how to set up our e-mail accounts on the new host.
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 08:19 AM)

As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

So when's the black theme coming back??
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

"Should"
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 07:27 AM)

That DNS took longer to propagate properly than I thought it would. *Now* we should be back for good, though.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:48 PM)

Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:08 PM)

Looks like Bluehost yanked our DNS since our hosting account expired. That's why the site went down a while ago. But as you can see, it's fixed now.
@  Misk : (23 July 2015 - 04:55 PM)

No, they do not.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 04:27 AM)

The goggles do nothing?
@  Misk : (22 July 2015 - 05:50 PM)

My eyes.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 12:24 PM)

Looks like forum uploads might have been broken since last night. That should be fixed now too.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 01:33 AM)

Heh, whoops! Server went down for a few mins when I borked the config. Looks like it's back up now.
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 09:09 PM)

It looked like a napkin
@  ILOVEVHS : (21 July 2015 - 09:04 PM)

Fan-fuckin-tastic.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:25 PM)

As for the beaver picture while the forum was down, I think Tim drew it. On a napkin.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:24 PM)

No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 06:37 PM)

Maybe he did that himself
@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:25 PM)

Say, who made the cute picture of Beaver Chief?
@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:24 PM)

Finally!
@  RedMenace : (21 July 2015 - 05:02 PM)

Woooo! The site's back up! Three cheers for Kef!

I have a feeling that the name alone is going to come back to bite them just like the Wii U name hurt Nintendo by confusing the casual market. To a casual person, Xbox one says the original system. They did say on spike that it will not be always on, but nothing during the unveiling made me want to get this over the PS4. Also Sony's stock is up and microsoft's is down so even investors are not buying it, to me today was a bunch of talk and focusing on kinect 2 is really turning me off.

Honestly, I like what Microsoft has done with it.

The reason why its called Xbox One cause its gonna be an "All in One" system so it empthsises that you can do everything on it. I mean you can easily go from cable, to a game or to a move in a matter of moments. They really put a lot of detail and looking at the specs and what it can do... PS4 cant compare

That's the problem though. I don't really NEED a high priced system that can do all that. It is supposed to play games. What games have they promoted for it that won't be elsewhere?

Simple: So you dont need a cable box, a system and a dvd/bluray player. All you need is Xbox One. Its only gonna be $400 (and considering how PS3 whkas like $400-600 at launch) Its All in One. They announced 15 exclusives for Xbox One. Halo, GoW, Fable and one revealed today Called Quantum Break (http://www.ign.com/a...e-quantum-break) there are more but they arent known yet

Watch the whole Reveal event... I cant describe everything you HAVE to see it

Watching movie, music, share stuff via facebook, twitter and all. Remember the time when a video game console was about playing ''video game''? Yeah, it was the good days. Adding all theses stuff are beyond unnessecary. For comparaison, if i want to watch TV, i'm not gonna buy a fridge with a build-in tv screen. If i want to cook myself something, i'm not gonna buy a car with a microwave or something built-in too. What is with all these stuff? WHAT THEY ARE THINKING? I have already enough with all these crap for the PS3/360, it annoy the fuck out of me to see those come back. Seriously, who ask for this?

Ok Alex likes the classic stuff (dont blame you, cant beat the classics) but what Mircosoft showed (in my mind) is amazing

Did you even watch the reveal Alex? What i like is that i could use it as a DVD/Cable box/Gaming system. I can go from playing Halo to watch the Bruins/Sox/Celtics/Patriots play in a matter of milliseconds. I like the All in One idea.

I will NEVER hide my appreciation for the classic game, but that doesn't mean that i hate the great graphic we now have access to. What i hate is what the gaming industry have become. Motion control for exemple rise the cost of the production (and the price tag too in result) and offer gimmicky control that barely work, make game unplayable and ruin the fun. Innovate is one thing, but succeed is something else. I don't use facebook or twitter, and if i buy a console like this new Xbox for exemple, i would feel like only 150$ of my money that i will spend for such console will be spent for gaming and the rest for stupid stuff that i didn't ask for.

Motion control isnt gonna be need for all games and you can power it manually by hand if you want. I dont use FaceBook on my Xbox (cause i have a Mac and my phone for that) but i would use nearly all of it. I like it. I think Mircosoft has something good

Motion control is an exemple. But no matter if it will be used a lot or just a little, it's just unnessecary. Motion control add nothing except frustration. If it wasn't enough, motion sensor aren't free. That rise the cost of a console, making it more expensive for stuff that barely work. So whatever how much it will be used, his cost aren't worth it.

$400 isnt that bad

I know. The ONLY thing i dont like thus far but the rumor is that new games will only be around $40-50

400$ may be not THAT bad, but if they can just push away those gimmick, the console would cost far less than that.
