I was reading an article on yahoo (that actually was originally written by someone from the "Motley Fool") about BK and some people had commented saying that BK no longer cooks their burger patties by running them through the char-broiler.

Is this really true?

How do they cook the burger patties now?

So, I just picked up a PS4 and I was wondering if I could just use the same cables (that are already hooked up to my TV for my PS3) so that I could just unplug one system and plug in the other.

Anyone try this already?

Before I got my Wii U, I used to play my regular Wii system on a regular (non-HD) tube TV. On THAT TV, I always felt that the Wii Remotes, and how they functioned, was dead on.

When I got my Wii U, I originally still just played it on my regular TV (with no issues), but THEN... when I got a HDTV (LED 1080p with a 240 hz. refresh rate) I noticed that there was NOT ONLY a lag in how quickly the Wii Remote's pointer on screen moved around, but also what's with the lag in the sound that comes out of the gamepad itself??? (although, I think the sound comes out of the gamepad FIRST, and then the HDTV's speakers slightly thereafter).

Anyone else notice this and have any thoughts as to why this happens??

Does anyone know the coins per step count for the 3DS? I've figured out that the first 1,000 steps gets you 10 coins (basically 1 coin per each hundred steps), but what about after that?

The example I'll give is let's say I bet 100 dollars on a horse to win, with 5 to 1 odds. If the horse wins, how much do I win? I'm thinking about betting on The Preakness, any other suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks!

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct... wondering what your thoughts are on this game?

I realize that it's not going to be the greatest of games, but as a fan of the show, worth playing?

There is this treasure chest right on the main island that I could never figure out how to get to. It's just a little off to the left of the little store where you can buy stuff from that girl. You apparently need to cross over some water to get to this area, but I can't figure it out.

There doesn't seem to be anything to hook the grapling hook to, so I'm at a loss...

I already have all the hearts and also all of the spirit gems.

Anyone know how to get over to this elusive treasure chest??

I wanted to take advantage of the price drop that Nintendo has going on right now on the Wii U's Eshop of the various UbiSoft games. So, I figured that I would download Assassin's Creed III to see what it was like on the Wii U, well... as it turns out... I didn't have enough FREE MEMORY available to be able to actually download it (and I even bought the Deluxe Set with the 32gb of memory).

Anyway... I went out and bought an external hard drive (Toshiba brand 2TB, works quite well). And... after purchasing the game last night and starting the download it ended up taking around SIX HOURS to download the whole game!

I realize this is a fairly large game and all, but SIX HOURS??? Is this normal? Has anyone else downloaded AC3? How long did it take?

It seems like I have to plug this thing in and recharge practically every day...

I haven't actually "timed" my pad to see exactly just how long the charge lasts, but it seems like about 2 hours (or around there).

Seems like a small amount of time to me...

Anyone else want to weigh in on this subject?

I've had the Wii U system (and gamepad) freeze up on me a couple of times now while playing NintendoLand. I know that there are other people out there that have experienced the same thing. Does anyone know WHY this is happening and what you can do about it?

What I was wondering, specifically, was if the system would be worth anything to a business that sells used games and systems and such? Would they be able to get the system fixed? So, would the business owner be willing to pay any money for a broken Xbox360 with the red ring of death... and if so, how much??

I know that you can get some on the internet, but that is not an option for me (don't have a credit card).

So... does anyone know any retail stores that might have some for sale this week? All of the stores that I've been to (Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Meijer) are sold out...

We are trying to play Donkey Kong Country Returns (2-Player), but we can't get a second Wii Remote connected. We have tried pressing the home button and re-connecting that way, but only the first remote will connect and not the second. We've also tried pressing the red button on the system and the red button on the second controller but that didn't do anything. Anyone have any ideas?

I read somewhere that you can make Vittles after you've completed all of the challenges. Well... I've done that, I just don't know how you actually make the Vittles. Do you need to kill a certain kind of animal?

What is the point of buying all the different horse deeds? When your horse dies, or is killed... you seem to be able to just get it back again, over and over... so why not just use the "BEST" horse all the time?

Can you play multi-player (not online) where you would have a split-screen? Is the ONLY way to play multi-player over the internet, or is there a way to play 2-players at the same time at home?

I just started playing the game "Red Dead Redemption" for the PS3. Is there ANY penalty for when you die? Do you lose anything? Also... can someone explain EXACTLY how you do the shootouts when someone challenges you to a duel. I can't seem to figure out what buttons you're supposed to push... and the instruction guide doesn't really tell you. Any other tips for a new player would be much appreciated, Thanks!

I just got a new PS3... I think it's the "newer" slim design. Everything works, but when playing for less than an hour, I noticed that when I ejected the game disc... it was HOT! Then, I felt the bottom of the system, and it was also QUITE HOT! Is this normal for the PS3? I've never owned the PS3 before (I have a PS2 and a PS1, but those systems never heated up this much). Any other PS3 owners out there have this same problem? Is it normal? Should I be concerned? Thanks...

It was on cable last night, but I didn't catch the title of the movie. It was about this guy who was into computers and such (and had just made a lot of money, and was going to make even more by selling this computer/internet business), who asked this girl (stripper, hooker?) to go with him to Vegas for a few days. He would pay her 10,000 dollars to do it. She agreed, but only with a few stipulations... one of them was that there was to be "no penetration".

So, anyway, they go to Vegas and apparently she only has to see him and spend time with him from 10 at night till 2 in the morning (I guess that was part of the agreement). They end up getting close to one another and at some point they finally kiss (which was NOT supposed to happen... again, one of the agreements). And, they do also finally have sex (with penetration), which was also not supposed to happen.

Also... this was not any kind of "main streem" movie. I would guess that it was more of an "Indi" type.

The actors/actresses in the movie (I kind of recognized the guy from something?, but the girl, I don't think that she's well known at all), are all late 30's to 40 something for their age. There is also another actress that shows up in Vegas as a friend of the woman's... I recognized her from A LOT of stuff, but can't remember her name either (she had short dark curly kind of hair).

I know it's not that much to go on... but did anybody see this movie late last night (around 2 in the morning) and does anybody know what the title of the movie is?? Thanks!!

I was wondering what website I could try to look up restaurants in a town that I'm visiting this week. I live in the Metro Detroit area and am going to Ann Arbor. I would like to be able to look up various restaurants in Ann Arbor and see what might be a good one to try!! What website should I go to?
