Someguy has BF4 now.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

But I specifically bought a wired 360 controller for my PC arcadey games. I feel like if the bone was meant to be I would have gotten one there.

I dunno. I'm not really poor anymore, maybe I'll get both. Or none.

Miss the XBROS though...

Not far off. I may just send Ahnuld the video I made of it to sell him on it. If you have a semi decent computer or Mac it's really worth picking up. Binding of Issac perspective but you have an array of weapons and use the mouse to aim. You level up and get to choose a mutation that changes some facet of how you play from then on out and pick up progressively stronger and more bizarre weapons and get faced with more and more super powerful enemies to compliment the weaponry. I've sunk ten hours into it over the last week or so and I'm still not tired of it.

The year of luigi 2014 next next gen and poo poo still fucks up. Personally I find the whole xbone ui especially party/friends is worse and slower than 360. And when I sign in and it displays how many friends are playing each popular game, selecting that takes me to the game page instead of friends.

Eh, I'm as big an advocate for people switching to PC as you'll find, but for some people the consoles are going to be the better option for a number of reasons. I'll agree with you that if you already have a decent PC picking up a console is probably unnecessary, though.

The convenience of a console still exists, especially if you have poor internet considering how big games are getting and how rare boxed copies of PC games have become. You're right that there are less reasons to buy a console over upgrading your computer, but they're still there. PC is better but it's not necessarily the best choice for everyone.

"The Hero of the Age..."

The hero of all ages
A couple questions:

1) Apparently there are dog tags hidden in the Final Stand maps? I'm seeing entire servers dedicated to dog tag scavenger hunts. Where should I be looking for them and are they in a container or something? What signs should I be looking for?

2) What's the deal with this Phantom program thing? I've had this since launch and not a single clue has been dropped on how to get the Phantom tags.

Henrik Zetterberg

It's a colossal waste of time for a semi-fun weapon that will get you killed more often than not.

But yes, the tags are hidden around the FS maps. Look for the maps on google images. The tags are mapped out, but they're next to impossible to find. Every time I've found one, I couldn't open the container no matter how many times I knifed it.

I finally gave up and just camped the rail gun instead. It's much more fun than a bow with a long reload that you'll probably miss with. And if you do manage to hit someone, it doesn't instakill unless it's a headshot.

I googled it a while ago because I was curious, and was seeing a lot of phantom dog tags on people and people using bows. Turns out it's a special reward for being a student or unemployed.

I don't know about that. I work full time and with the help of some other people I got that bow without too much hassle. After you find one tag, you don't need any others, but you'll need people who have them in order to take the elevator down into the super secret area!
