  1. Thanks Dan for Crypt of the Necromancer, SUPERHOT and Crusader Kings 2! I'm on mobile so no pictures but now I can play the game who's OST I listen to A LOT, I can John Woo everything (SUPER HOT SUPER HOT) and I can create a incestuous infantcidal empire.
  2. Now that I think about it, the last time I downsampled was with my old graphic card. If you can swing 4k then go for it. I tend to try to keep 60 fps whenever possible so 1440p was my default. And generally to me it's the preferable AA if options are lacking.
  3. Since I had a day to think about it some more, you can indeed argue that it is top three or even the best. The first third of the film stumbled a bit (one scene seemed out of place but it can make sense considering who we were dealing with) but it picked up after the whole crew gets together. Still, it is a moderately different film from the way my head and trailers hyped it as. What we got should be the better product. In any case it serves as an excellent bridge between the PT, OT and the new expanded universe. For example, all Vader bits were excellent and at one time we got hints of Anakin.
  4. The visual benefits from 4k to 1080p is quite minimal when 1440p down sampling gets you most of the benefits. Give that a whirl.
  5. Just saw Rogue One. I won't call it great but you'll nerdgasm.
  6. Guy needs to get off Twitter. It would make him a bit more tolerable.
  7. Nintendo World!!!

      Super Nintendo World! :D

      As someone who hates lines, crowds, children, the heat, and rides, I'm not excited.

  8. I should not use the Westworld subreddit or discuss it anywhere I suppose? I caught some stuff while discussion fill in the rest. Together it only let one real twist through for me (the finale).
  9. Nintendo wasn't loud and clear on that fact. Even then why have promo videos show uneven frame rates when the Switch can play it just fine? It needlessly makes them look bad.
  10. If I had the money, I would buy my brother TLG so I can play it myself...

      Buying people video games that you can use yourself is what the holiday season is all about. In high school I bought my brother a second PS2 controller so I could play with him.

  11. Relevant bit at 6 minutes with real time gameplay from the Switch. The surprising thing was the frame rate. It's steady docked and mobile. Perhaps they patched it or maybe the area they are in is not too power hungry.
  12. Seeing Hondo on the big screen would be amazing. If not Rogue One then the Han Solo movie (which doesn't need to happen but sure).
  13. My enjoyment of Game of Thrones was/is heavily influenced by me reading the books. Similar to TWD and the comics. With Westworld, I am free to imagine and hope for things to come. You could and should take apart most words and actions. Besides it's a sci-fi show that explores being human sentient (?) in a Western setting. Two of my favorites things. A lot of the mysteries were answered with some really odd ones left for season 2... which is coming in 2018. At least in the mean time I got season whatever of GoT, TWOW, season two of Stranger Things and some other stuff I must be missing on the TV show and books front.
  14. On the PS4 Proest of Pro. Edit: I am still a bit salty that this game skipped the PS3.

    Pets!

    Seems like I might be getting a puppy. If I got through with it, I'm guessing the initial costs are: 1) Spay/neuter 2) Vaccinations 3) Microchip 4) License (seriously?) 5) Food 6) Kennel/crate 7) Other stuff that I'm forgetting Pet owners, help me out?
  16. I'm kind of missing the large power draws and inefficient power consumption... I know for a fact that my tower used to be able to heat my room. Now it can't. I used to open my window on nights like this to cool down my room.
  17. How do you guys feel about HDR?

      And by that I mean I have no opinion I haven't seen it in person yet. All I know is I bought a new TV two years ago, so it'll be a few more years before I take the plunge into 4K or HDR.

      ^That's where I am. I bought a new 4k TV 1.5 years ago because my old one broke, I'm not about to replace it for HDR.

      My next TV will be 4K HDR (and hopefully OLED though that's less likely) but I won't upgrade just to get them.

  18. Surprised you guys are not on this. I honestly only played Mass Effect 1 and a tiny bit of 2 (I just remembered that I have it). I liked what I've played but god, does the initial outcry for 3 turned me off. Hopefully the path that Andromeda takes us on will be worth it (i.e., Bioware doesn't have to go back and fix things).
  19. Not new but... Desktop laser cutter/engraver to go with the 3D printer. At $3k-6k they are expensive but as with 3D printers, they should go down in costs in the coming years. Being a maker in 2020's and beyond is going to be awesome. 3D printing and laser cutting and engraving is not just for large factories anymore.
  20. The competition for The Game Awards' awards is actually really fierce this year. A lot of categories was packed with good games.

  21. Indeed. Amazon Japan has an English interface option where you can change the price to USD. You can tell which items can be shipped over as well. It's almost like using the regular Amazon store... I know that I'm really helping you to resist.
  22. And saw some short gameplay. I didn't realized that Link now have expendable swords and spears that can break. You can easily pick up more but it's almost lootshooter like. And breakable weapons. Inventory management might be a thing now for a Zelda game? Ugh. Neat looking game however.
