  1. I will never play Splatoon and not coast on patch releases... this makes me sad.

  2. DOOM This is what happens when you take Doom I and II and give it a fresh new coat of gore. It knows itself and its target audience. Solid entry in the Doom franchise. With that said, no idea how they screwed up the multiplayer... You can see many influences from Brutal Doom where enemies and yourself just get torn up. Most kills and even deaths are satisfying to watch. Getting curb stomped by a Hell Knight or getting torn to pieces by a Revenant is neat. Any story driven slow downs are pretty brief and any other slow downs are you just trying to find secrets and junk. Now to wait for Shadow Warriors 2 to continue all this gratuitous violent FPS. DOOM II: Hell on Earth can still work...
  3. While the multiplayer is being shit on, word is that the single player is awesome. Some gameplay footage later and I think I am convinced. I got it for 20% off by the way.
  4. This foe* is beyond any of you... RUN! *A LotR extended edition marathon itch Imagine a 4k version. Sploosh.
  5. So many buttons on the G600. I almost don't need a keyboard for most editing tasks.

  6. And the middle click is completely out. Friday cannot come fast enough. While I didn't get the G500, it looks perfectly fine, but I decided to try out the G600. It's kind of an experiment since I'm unsure how well I will like all those buttons to the side but since I do quite a bit of GIS and other programs, I figure all those extra rebindable shortcuts will come in handy. Once I get my G600, I'll RMA my M65 and maybe request something that will not have the middle click die on me. I don't recall it costing me anything last time so why not?
  7. A concert ticket to see the Blind Guardian with Grave Digger in October. I'm not really into Grave Digger but Blind Guardian is one of my favorites. I am totally ready to sing The Bard's Song.
  8. The GOP could, you know, not have a candidate. There's no fooling anybody that the party is not fractured. As for how the vote will go down, I'm not beyond believing that Trump could win. I'm from a state where the Governator was elected twice. Unlike Donald though, Arnold is actually a likeable guy (but not fit for office). Donald is not fit for office and he is a loathsome human being. I really hope most people can see Trump for who he is. It's going to be kind of odd to abstain from voting for a president (that could realistically be elected) if it comes down to Hillary and Trump.
  9. Yeah, seems like with Cruz's departure the GOP gave up. Still... wait till November before praying over our corpse.
  10. What mouse do you guys use and what, if any, problems have you had with them? The Consair Vengeance M65 reviews really well except for the problem of the middle button screwing up. My replacement (from Consair warranty of my first one) is starting to show signs of it dying and nope, I'm not dealing with an eventual middle button death with a second replacement.
  11. The AI for sure can muster up all the money to build all these units. For sure.

  12. 8-Bit Armies A somewhat dumb down and slower version of Command and Conquer-like RTS. Bare bones campaign but with co-op missions, multiplayer and skirmish. For $15, it shouldn't hurt too much if it turns out to be bad but... wizards and shit are coming soon. Allow for some unit creation mods and this might be awesome. Edit: It was between this and Enter the Gungeon but I think I like a RTS better.
  13. A viable third (or fourth) party in this day and age, even for a limited amount of time, might get the dialog going for a better system. Having the establishment toss a relatively viable candidate around is shit but so is having radical elements battling for (and winning) the control for a nationally viable party.
  14. Unlike you all, that is perfect for me. I should be able to knock most of my thesis out by then. Just, DICE, please don't polish a turd. Let us beat the game and then have it be all free form. I understand wanting to preserve the experience but it is a game. Let us have at it after we go through the hoops. Open world (skylines), open choices.
  15. I recall that when the PS4/Xbone came out, places like Gamestop and Best Buy there were trade-in deals like trade in your PS3 or 360 for $100 and $x for games. It was pretty damn sweet considering the age of my neglected 360 and it helped me buy my Asus T100. It made me spend money at Best Buy so it I can imagine them doing something similar.
  16. There's no way that the animated Batman: The Killing Joke is going to suck, right?

      Yeah, only film he'd come out of Joker retirement for.

      The guy who played The Trickster?!

  17. In my quest to learn written Cantonese/Mandarin, I came across Pleco. To just call it a dictionary is an understatement, especially if you buy some of the add ons. The add ons, well, add some nice bell and whistles to the robust (and ad) free version. Maybe by year's end, I'll be able to read some of the more common characters like those found in menus and band messages...
  18. I might be a bit immature but the Cursed-rotten Greatwood in Dark Souls 3 is hilarious.

  19. If you are running an older computer like mines, you might have trouble finding RAM sticks with the same timing and speed as the ones you have right now. They exist but they are expensive for what they are and I have plans on redoing the Mobo-CPU-RAM so eh... still I really want 12 GB of ram instead of 6 GB. It would help a bit with the System and Compressed Memory process that Windows 10 has.
  20. SpaceX has successfully landed on the first stage on the ocean barge. Today is a good day.

      What does this mean? Why should I care?!??!?!

      The successful landing and the cargo (inflatable space station module) the second stage is carrying are pretty important for space flight. Reusable rockets and cheaper, stronger, lighter and less space taking space station modules might be the backbone for the next stage(s) of space related endeavors.

       

      This means two things:

      1) We can get off the ground relatively cheaply now.

      2) Canada remains being a hat... unless Trump has anything to say about it.

      #1 hat though.

  21. I recall that most (retail) CPU will come with a heat sink/cooler. It's only when it comes to the higher end CPUs (and OEM purchases) when they start to not come with it since the stock heat sink/cooler is not great when the CPU get pushed to the levels they were designed to do. Edit: And as the conclusion of the video I linked said... it really not a big deal. Place it in the right place (you computer won't do some cartoony Sponge Bob BS), place a pea sized amount, spread it or not and place the heat sink on.
  22. Easy and, yes, it does require that much pressure to close the clamps on the CPU with a click. As for the thermal paste, just get whatever known thermal paste and apply however you like. You can see how much is too much and how much is too little in that video as well. I personally used the card method to lay it all out to get an even spread and it gets around the issue of too much paste.
  23. It almost seems like a succession (playthrough) planet is possible. It all hinges on what happens in TN's scenario.
