So I got a Steam Link. The Steam Link itself is totally fine by my standards since it streams great while wired. Some games though seems to act weird and might downright crash. Overall though it is pretty sweet to have my Steam library along with my desktop in my living room. Though I do got 2-3 1 gripes. Gripe one is really the whole UI where a connected mouse is needed. I don't think just having a controller connected will do however I guess this isn't a huge lost since there is certainly more than enough USB/Bluetooth connections for a M+KB. tl;dr: The Steam Link is mostly great for my needs but some network problems on my end might hinder its usefulness thus justification for its purchase. See following post for my revelation and spoiler for my problem.

I watched part of Inside Out and yeah, it's pretty great. I have to say though, the aesthetics is so weird when you focus in on the hair/fur of characters and then compare them to the smooth faces of some other characters or even the background. Something seems off about it.

I feel that they could've just gone with a super-prequel. Same world but during the height of Valkyrian tech which maybe started to get buried with the events of this new game. While I am bummed but I'm not overly concerned about this change. Gameplay... bold move to make it real time. It might turn out good. As for the remaster, at the very least VC on PC allows for downsampling. Absolutely gorgeous game when done so. So no real need for changes there though the cutscene could use a sprucing up so hopefully they will redo them and update the PC release. Maybe make them real-time in-engine renders. Going from crisp 60 fps to jaggied 30 fps is kind of jarring.

More here. Could use a single player game...

I need to give this game a chance again. After Secret of Mana, the changes were just too much for my young self, kind of like what happened with Final Fantasy XII.

I'm confused. My taskbar will bug out after some hours. The clock will freeze with every icon not my installed and pinned programs disappears. For the pinned programs that are running, I can't see which is running. Additionally, my drag select, right click and stuff in the start menu will start to disappear with continued on time after the task bar starts bugging out. So I'm unsure of what I'm dealing with.

I still buy CDs...

I'm working my way through The Clone Wars. I like it but the broken up chronology is a bit annoying. Then of course there are the Jar Jar episodes. I would do the suggested watch order but watching through Netflix makes that a tad bit messy to do.

Dedenne.

Beat the devil out of it...

Okay, they actually made the heft of the sodding thing realistic. Props to them! Makes how the Chief and the Brutes wielding the hammer rather effortlessly the more impressive (if it were even close to real).

Sure but sometimes the devs do back themselves into a corner. Devs should be very careful to not promise the stars and to avoid feature creep. The vision of the game should be quite firm and realistic.It's okay to be iterative, especially if coming from a series. As for lazy devs... porting is some place that can apply a bit more often though it sometimes comes down to experience. Not sure if it applies to the Batman games though...

This kills whatever hope I ever had for a season 2. This kills the baby.

Teeheehehehehehe

I didn't realize that Halo 5 didn't have split screen co-op or matchmaking... what the fuck 343? Couch co-op Halo is a selling point. A lot of my memories were tied to couch co-op. I didn't know it lost split screen and almost egged one of my buddies to keep his Xbone (He was thinking and did return it since he didn't have the time to dedicate to gaming and such) so we could do co-op.

It's time.

The original trilogy sells so that's not surprising. Clone Wars would've made more sense I think since I can't be the only one weird out by beating the Imperials in Hoth or kicking Luke or Vader's asses. Also any hero units could actually die and not do their knelling thing or whatever they will do in the full game. Clone Wars is kind of perfect for their survival/horde mode...

Oh shit, that's where the concept arts I got for wallpapers came from! Color me interested because I want to get into more board games. I just don't know if I can muster up the cash for it since I really want the artbook. Come on look! A trained bear. What is there not to love!?
