He told me no, and told me to buy him NEW tires instead, and stop being a cheap SOB and buying used.

Anyone know if there's a way to use a PS4 to stream recent episodes (season 6) of The Walking Dead without paying for a subscription service?

I tried using AMC's site and it keeps saying "Loading video player", and then...nothing.

Looks like only the first episode is available without logging in at the moment (though maybe you have a cable service). I was able to get it to work after letting it load for a while. I also had to tell it to allow the flash player plugin to run before it would show up (a little puzzle piece with an x shows up in the address bar to the far right:)



I told it to run all plugins at this time and then the video player started working.

Hope that helps!

BTW, I'm running it on Chrome and my usual settings are to not allow Flash unless I allow it to do so.

Thanks, l'il sis!  I'll try it again.

I do have a cable service - what difference does that make?

Does "logging in" = having to pay/subscribe?

Ah, I don't have cable service, so I couldn't access the newer episodes but was able to look at the first episode of the season (which doesn't require logging in).  If you have cable service, you're already paying for the streamable feature as part of your cable package, so you're all good to go!

So I have a VERY major question.. Do any of you fine people know anything about books?

I have a pre-1900 edition of "The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" It is the "Advance edition" hardcover that I found at a goodwill but I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere I search. one of the major issues stopping me from knowing is that the copyright page is ripped out but I am 100% sure it was made before 1900. I will post a picture of it when I get off work.

Any Idea of when it was published? or know any tools for figuring it out would be very appreciated.

If it's anything like comics, then I'd imagine that having a page ripped out would drop the value of it SIGNIFICANTLY. So if that's why, I wouldn't worry too much about it. But it is cool just to have a book that old to have as a conversation piece.

I wish I could help. I only know that the copyright page is really important in showing the publication date/edition unless there are other features/changes made to the book after that particular printing.

I know that it is basically worthless at this point but just the fact that I literally can find ZERO information about this publication is bugging me. I have no intentions of selling it as of yet. This isn't my oldest book by far but I like to organize my books by print date.

Have you tried LibraryThing.com? It's a book collecting site (kind of like VGCollect is for video games). You might be able to find it there.

It could still have significant value depending as with everything on rarity, condition, reprint, etc.  Just look at a copy of Action Comics #1 without a cover.  A lot less value than a complete copy, but you are still talking thousands of dollars.

Well yeah, but that's because it's Action Comics #1, though. That's like having a damaged copy of Earthbound.
