  1. It's no Scott Pilgrim but it's close enough. I'm not sure about the decision to just have two discrete playing fields instead of one continuous field like in most other 2D beat-them-ups. It almost seems like a mechanic that would have been around in the NES era (But then we had games like River City Ransom). It doesn't hurt the game though, it's just odd. Also it is oddly hard at times.
  2. Suddenly the internet echo chamber is crying out about problems with the GTX970/980. I'm not sure what is real life or what is fantasy in this case.

      Give it a month. Never early adopt... well anything expensive really.

      What sort of problems?

      One: Notable number of coil whine.

      Two: VRAM usage can go to shit at around 3.5 GB. It either caps out right there or if it uses the full 4 GB, your performance will take a dump.

       

      For the coil whine, there are enough cases to warrant RMAs. For the VRAM issue, it may be a firmware issue or a hardware issue.

       

      I think most of the problems are with the 970. The 980 doesn't seem to have as much problems.

  3. If the power button on the T100 can get stuck then it can get unstuck. Thank you unprecise engineering.

      Do you have a malfunctioning Terminator?

      Yes, it's made of electromagnetic silly putty with self-healing modular robotic parts within it.

    Windows 10

    Microsoft loves those legacy support money from businesses. Might be a pain in the ass but it's money.

    Ya'll need some diacritic marks at this point.

    Windows 10

    Maybe unification is that important that Microsoft is willing to eat the cost for a year. It certainly will make support easier if most people gravitate to the latest version. Worse case for them is if 10 comes out and 8.1 becomes the runt of the current main Windows version (7, 8 and 10). It's quite a juggle to support that, I think. So a free upgrade can squash most of Windows 8 users and a good chunk of 7's.

    Windows 10

    So I'm guessing we're all going to switch on over to Windows 10 when it comes out? Upgrading from Windows 7 and 8.1 is going to be for free and it's permanent.
  8. 2015: The year when AO and unrated adult games come to Steam. They already let garbage games in via Greenlight, so what does it matter if AO and related games comes onto Steam?

      lol, I haven't seen it, that was just the first thing that popped into mind that's on Netflix and someone might want to keep secret.

  9. I'm kind of bitter about the spinoff (I'm calling what Triad Wars really is). Such a waste of time when they could do a sequel or prequel (1980's Hong Kong, Macau and a casino ship in-between that may be in international waters motherfucker). Triad Wars may be fun, I guess, but in bold are part of the reason why people love Sleeping Dogs: the story and characters.
  10. Looking at the website... they're dropping a whole new game+ as DLC. Base game got four six? twelve hunters and three monsters (I'm only seeing two monsters on the website?) at $60. Lets say you get the PC Monster Race pack at $99, it will net you an additional six hunters and two monsters. If you get the pack that is a step down at $79 then you get four more hunters and one more monster. Note, I'm ignoring skins since those are just bullshit cosmetic. I guess that is one way around having to make Evolve 2 in a year or two... I think? If they want to fuck early adopters over they could announce Evolve 2 soon after the fifth monster. Shit will fly if that happens. If they play it cool, they will support this game for a while. It only makes sense (in my mind) due to all the DLC content (which includes free maps, which is cool). In the end, it's other people money so they can do whatever the fuck they want with it. I'm personally waiting this one out til a sale. This game can potentially have a long life on PC even if an Evolve 2 comes out (Map creator with Steam Workshop comes to mind). Worst comes worst is that I deck it out with blinged out veterans. Edit: Maybe there's more hunters than I though? Base game got twelve. Three for each four classes.

    On the other end, if you are a good worker and know how to work people then you can make quite a bit more than a decent hourly wage. That is assuming the tips are not fucking pooled that is. I can acceot it though if it is for the back of the house but other wait staff? Umm, no. And yeah, most wait staff jobs could be replaced by 14 years old kids if it came down to it. The only thing is the thing with handling money behind the register and alcohol.
  12. Saga Vol 4 last page should be illegal based on how awesome it is. Now for my vigil til June or so for vol 5. Need more Prince Robot IV. I should get to the Image Bundle now.

    If I have kids, I would either need some office hours with the teacher or need some notes from the teacher to get me up to speed with CC math. Help me to help you because as of right now I wouldn't be able to help an elementary school student when it comes to CC math but I might be able to teach them calculus.
  14. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-01-18/ghost-in-the-shell-singer-origa-passes-away/.83416 Well, shit. I'm sad. For fuck's sake, Origa is younger than my mom. Origa singing for the OPs and such helped defined the Ghost in the Shell TV series.

    3DS

    I suppose I can trade in my XL for the new XL. $100 off at Gamestop that way. There are plenty of games I want to play on the 3DS and eventually games will start using the new features. Still debating.
  16. I've gotten back into Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. In the present day, it is just the kind of thing I love. This is the closest you can get to a Dowman Seiman anime and this series is 8 years old...
  17. I just realized that my Note 4 is higher res than my monitor. Something is wrong with that.

      Yeah, my Galaxy S4 is the same as my monitor and my Nexus 10 is significantly higher.

      Then you realize that the already great battery life would be even more amazing if it was 1080p.

      I'm not really sure if that makes as much a difference as the jump between single to octo-cores in the phones.

  18. So I've been practicing (and not posting) on and off for a while. I think I can reliably clone a pose, especially if the reference is an actual photo since I can easily spot weirdly drawn posture. Now hair and non-tight clothing are vexing me. They, especially hair, are quite hard to simplify. Take LP's avatar. My usually hair style will blow up. I think it is time to stare are a pile of clothes and actual models (Not lewd*) pictures. * There is a reason why, if you go through art school, you will draw nude models. The thing though... I take the closest thing I have.
  19. The only way to myon is to have all the myon lined up in a single playlist.

    Maybe seeing the whole worksheet or book will make the question make far more sense, as in you know to use the Common Core method. By itself, the question is completely fucked.
  21. Oh yeah, FLD, be sure to double check your game files via Steam. You might run into a silent boss fight soon.
  22. I should try to power through that. I think Xerxes is kicking my ass right now.
  23. I only waited for like 2 or 3 months. Anyways, it's a silly place but it is neat to interact with some devs and publishers every so often (XSEED folks comes to mind).
  24. While dumbed down, it is spot on.

  25. For backpacking or long trips. Got it for a reduced price and at 10% off. Amazon currently showing it $15 more than before the 10% off. This bag is massive, I love it. Only thing I wished was that it was a bright color or something. I do not want to be shot in the back...
