    The thing is about Chinese ancestry, I don't think anybody kept track of who really came from who. At the very least, the upheavals of WWII, Civil War and Cultural Revolution kind of wiped that stuff out.

    Asian folks should start doing the percentage thingie. Like sure, I'm 100% Chinese but China's a big place and regions do have their own flavors. Hell, every village has their own flavor. What I'm getting at here is that when these sort of discussions come up, it's pretty boring when it comes to me and most other Asian folks. I do suspect though that if something was done with me, I'd get something similar to what Dean's grandma found.
  3. As someone who does a lot of long distant driving, that is a neat thing. It's not self-driving but it's pretty close. I'm just not sure if rolling out a feature in beta like that is wise though.
  4. I haven't had Prime for a few months. I totally forgot about shipping being a thing. This'll be quite the expensive bluray...

      Orders actually. Jesus. Oww. Where the fuck is combined shipping? Oww.

      Any reason you're not getting Prime? It isn't terribly expensive if you take into account it's for a whole year.

      I got Amazon to refund me the shipping so I can use that towards Prime. Main reason is that my money is tight. I could spend $99 on Prime but then I'll be living off about $50 or so for a while. Once I get some side money I'll be getting it. $100 for me is plenty to play around with.

  5. Well, the thing is with me is that I'm down for either game, I just don't have the money to go for both when they are both in a similar launch window. And yes, I would want to experience them at or near launch. Discussion about games tend to dry up rather quickly and that is part of my enjoyment of games. Not so much a problem here in these forums but elsewhere.
  6. Ideally, the Beta should've convinced people to drop money on this instead of Fallout 4 if the consumer is faced with only getting one or the other. I'm pretty sure it did the opposite for most consumers in that group. It's a fine game that should only improve with the full game but yeah, MP only kind of stings. I agree with GOH, a SP Star Wars game with this kind of visuals and sound assets would've been amazing. DICE just played it safe with something that they should've (WTF is up with the spawns at times?) been masters of. Though, I guess this game does/can win over the COD crowd which is really their target audience and the game they are trying to fight. I don't think they were after Fallout 4.
  7. A Wii U emulator? That's was fast.

      Sounds like it could be awhile more till it's a viable way to actually play a game, but impressive none the less.

      Dolphin got updated to Wii support fairly quick, I imagine that Nintendo carry on using similar architectures.

  8. I finally getting back around to Revengence and I didn't die horribly in the areas I've been to before I stopped. The only times I died was fighting the Metal Gear Ray clone during the running down the tower sequence. All boss fights proper though I survived without much of a sweat. I think I can enjoy this now.
  9. Oh fine. I care because I do hate the whole FOB/Mother Base nonsense. What I don't care about is my actual resources and junk being stolen in this pointless system.

    https://twitter.com/wol_lay He's tweeting now, giving some backstory about the factions he hinted to with the songs. I got to say, he is rebuilding the hype that he lost two years ago. Will the new update be as polished as his alpha!? Only time will tell.
  11. Once things get settled down, I can see Rebels winning much more. Bomb the closer AT-AT one then lasso or just gun down the further AT-AT. The closer AT-AT will go down most of the time while the second one will be a wildcard if it goes down or not. Either way, I can already hear the calls for orbital bombardment to be nerfed since it can kill a 100% health AT-AT if you land the shot just right. Or not. Depending on the teams' pilots one side can dominate the skies, keeping the Uplink stations in their control. Which brings me to this bit: The ground troops have very little in ways to fight back against fighters. I had a few fighters charge me and even a full blaster barely made a dent. Rockets are rare pickups so their uses are mainly for the AT-ATs. For Imperials, I guess I can shoot with that single fucking shot. Ugh. I swear I'll land an ion grenade on one before the beta ends. I already marked a kamikaze attack on an enemy fighter off my list.
  12. Gave it a go. Very pretty game but it is quite uninspired. Not to say it isn't fun with all the usual MP silliness but I have better games to play if what I played represent the core of Battlefront. Hoth is as everybody says: An unbalanced mess if you play a the Rebels. You'll lose most of the time but as Thursday said, it is winnable. The round that I won as the Rebels, it was the last minute of play with both AT-ATs at at least 50%-75% health. Their shields go down which cued our shambles (?) of a team to unload on the AT-ATs. While we do that, an A-Wing managed to tow the distant one down. Somehow after the distant AT-AT fell, our combined firepower toasted the remaining one. Everybody was shocked that we somehow won. Comments like "WAT" flooded the chat. Part luck and part on the skills of the A-Wing pilot. Thursday mentions teamwork being the key to winning Hoth as Rebels but I just don't see much of anyway to coordinate. In Battlefield games, you go with a squad and squad leaders and such can mark down targets/objective. No talking or typing needed. As of this moment, it's as if the entire Rebels side is counting on the players knowing the metagame for Hoth. The full game might make the whole complaint moot though once everybody is decked out in proper gear and know the general flow of what you should do. Still though, no way to really communicate effectively. I guess I can spawn in on my partner and cover his back... But yeah, silliness! Being Vader is pretty damn badass. Anybody who sees you early one just runs or put up a futile fight up till the team can muster a group to take me down. The only downer is that Vader doesn't do force lightning. It should be fun if I can try Luke but I'll try to avoid being stomped... Downing a jedi/sith is equally as fun. They go down quite fast if faced with a turret. Grenading them is fun too. I managed to do that to a timid Vader before I took a pot shot which ended with a flying lightsaber to my face. Other silliness... jetpacking and sticking an AT-ST. I kind of want to try it on the AT-AT...
  13. NSFW but my god... Who is this Pepsi Man? Is he a hero or a villain!? Edit: Oh, I didn't realize that Pepsi Man was a product of the late 1990's-early 2000's.
  14. I will laugh if Google eats the Sheets labs I instruct.

  15. Lets see what Bethesda can do with 8 GB of RAM at FO4's graphical fidelity. Besides my GPU, I'm running on 5+ years old hardware. Might not matter much but this might be interesting. Edit: And holy shit! It's only a month away! I keep forgetting that it's due to drop in November.
  16. I have people on my FOB but I could care less what happens to it. I have nothing there. The personnel I lose are easily replaced if they are killed. From what I've read, most people don't even bother taking people or even stuff. They just gun for the goal, shooting and killing anybody in their way.
  17. It's becoming a thing where baking recipes are going by weight now. I cannot do it any other way. Unless the scale is uncalibrated, you cannot get the weight wrong. Oddly, stuff that are measured by -spoons are still done so.
  18. I was thinking of posting that but it was no good, I can't do it.
  19. Lovers in Dangerous Spacetime might be up your alley. I think you'll work out relationship issues, major or minor, and more importantly (hopefully) bond really quick with that game. I'm debating of showing it to my roommate and have him play it with his girlfriend.
  20. The Rick and Morty's season finale. One and a half year, at least, is a long time to wait. This will hurt.
  21. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxkDgRNtsW0 I would totally get the game if I wasn't broke right now...

  23. Well, I also upgraded my home PC to Windows 10 since I'm happy with it on my T100. Nothing seems broken.
