  1. If we can enter all building and they have NPCs (That does shit) in them then I think the system (console or PC) will start catching on fire. Maybe when GTA VII comes out but for sure not anytime soon. The closest game I think think of is Arma II/III. The world are gorgeous but they're pretty lifeless. There are some NPCs but they mainly there for MP transactions. It somewhat works for Arma since the game is a warzone so you don't expect much people around. For something like GTA in a vibrant city, it won't work. But for sure, a populated, vibrant and fully enter-able city is the holy grail of the open-world genre.
  2. Shadow Warrior Quite a fantastic game. It's a modern FPS with an old-school charm of murdering a room full of demons in glorious ways. I will say it is way more satisfying than Space Marines in this aspect since with the sword (and by extension the guns) you can do various moves to aid you in clearing the rooms of enemies. The only downside is that it doesn't have a New-Game+ mode or even cheats so you'll never go around in the early levels as an overpowered badass. Sad... seriously, that is my main gripe with the game. My other gripe is with a certain enemy who appears to be a lot like Halo's flood carrier form. Fuck those rolling and exploding bastards, and fuck their traps too. There are also some plot related stuff but I think I'll let them slide since the gameplay to me takes center stage. Edit: I'm an idiot.
  3. The way it is being explained is that he built the lightsaber by himself so it is very strong but also unstable. That is why the "guard" is there, to vent away the excess energy. Still retarded though.
  4. I don't understand that lightsaber. Darth Maul's is perfectly understandable. And yes, that Falcon looks awesome.
  5. http://animatorexpo.com/carnage/ I actually didn't realize Me!Me!Me! was part of program for studios to show off original projects and other stuff. Kind of like Anime Mirai, I think? Anyways, linked is the fourth one in the series. It's a rough Western with a premise that reminds me of Once Upon a Time in the West. Again, NSFW. Me!Me!Me! is the third one in the series. The first one is about Dragon Dentist (an interesting concept) and the second is about cycling. These two are SFW but the first one has some violence.
  6. They won't turn into cheating (e.g., impossible reaction times) AIs will they? Otherwise, they're pretty cool. Not sure why they're tied to a physical figurine.
  7. Two fingers and a thumb. I have no idea why they won't autoplay. Not my upload.

    EVE Online

    EVE is a game that will always be dear to my heart even though I never played it. What goes down in that game is quite legendary. Every so often one big alliance or another performs a major offensive that can involve hundreds if not thousands of players through an entire week, something even longer, of battles and skirmishes. Then of course you got the occasional butterfinger, who is entrusted by the alliance/group, in charge of a Titan who jump himself only instead of the whole fleet which usually ignites a sudden battle as opposing factions comes to kill it and the butterfinger's alliance come to defend it.

  10. So, I got caught up with South Park for this season. Good Lorde, that was a fun way to spend 3 hours. Also someday Wendy is going to snap. Her or Butters. Butters has been getting bolder on calling Cartman on his bullshit, I think.
  11. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/11/20/365519963/obama-will-announce-relief-for-up-to-5-million-immigrants So Obama did that. I'm a bit conflicted a bit but I like it.
  12. As you can see, that's the easy part. Having the probe and especially the lander working 100% is the tougher part.
  13. The Hobbit films. First one was cool but needed more Smaug. Second one filled that itch. Snowpiercer Weird movie but it is unique. It kept me thinking what will happen.
  14. Popcorn. I'm discovering the whole wide world of different seasonings. I always made kettle corn but never regular popcorn until last Friday during Movie Night when I made it with oil, some salt and drizzled with butter. I was surprised to find that plain popcorn wasn't really plain in flavor. So cue today where I tried adding black pepper which works. Now I think I'll be toying with the idea of other different seasonings.
  15. ^ Guess my reaction when this video starts. I should really expand my horizon. I really only stick to the proven few bands...

    Your Rig

    There is a good chance that we'll start seeing 1 TB SSDs starting to be in reach for us regular Joes. In two years it might be feasible to have a PC running just SSDs...

  18. Apparently most of the problem is due to AMD hardware. Let that sink in.
  19. Downsampled Valkyria Chronicles is quite pretty.

      It's actually kind of surprising due to VS's CANVAS engine being based around the PS3 (VC2 and VC3 uses it too...). For most games, I've heard that porting from the PS3 is a bitch so I expected way more hiccups in this port. So far the only major issues I see is the pre-rendered cutscene and wonky physics past ~75 fps. Those two are pretty understandable. Also, yeah, got to consider Japanese devs.

       

      Color me impressed.

      It's kind of sad that the fact that just because it's a non-shit port it's being praised. This should be the standard.

      Can't say that I can disagree with that statement. In an ideal world, all ports will not be shit.

  20. I never played FFXIII-2 so I might hop on board when it drops down to $10 or less even though I do have a distaste for FFXIII (which I may also get eventually). Kind of hard to justify shitting on games if I haven't played them enough or beaten them. It will also be interesting to have a Final Fantasy game where I have the option for Japanese audio. I'm honestly kind of floored that they are including that.
  21. Since I don't recall the multiplayer from Halo 3 onwards, take what I say with a grain of salt but I think they revert back to no loadouts. Awesome since loadouts is kind of a pain. The armor abilities seems varied enough and have good enough pros/cons to make it interesting. It'll be interesting how it'll all pan out in the end... Also it is odd. I'm quite certain that I won't be getting a X1 but Halo man... it still calling.
  22. People are (relatively) gobbling it up. Currently #4 on Steam and #1 on GMG. It's fantastic that it is having another day in the sun even going against Assassin Creed Unity and Call of Duty Advance Warfare. Judging on the spots it holds on Steam and GMG, it is priced just right. What personally put me over the edge on double-dipping is that everything points to that the port is totally fine. It also helps that I don't have a copy of VC and I never played the DLCs. Hopefully SEGA will take note and aim for the other games as well, despite them moving away from the tone of the first game. With that said, maybe SEGA can also note that they should do another game with a tone like VC1 on a major platform.
