Mister Jack

Has anyone been following this Evergreen College story? It's absolutely infuriating. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/may/27/bret-weinstein-evergreen-state-professor-holds-cla/

It says right there what's going to happen and I laughed anyway.

Is this seriously how Nintendo expects people to do voice chat on the Switch? It's such a mess that's it's laughable.

When the authorities burst in to arrest Rocket in the middle of a wrestling match, Rocket discovers that an evil lookalike has been going around framing him for multiple murders! Rocket now has to hunt down the imposter and clear his name, but that may be hard to do when a vengeful armada made up of all his jilted ex-girlfriends bands together to hunt him down and exact bloody revenge for all the times he lied to them! Storylines like that are why I originally picked up comics in the first place.

I haven't seen Alien: Covenant, but I did have the alien origin spoiled for me, which is so stupid that it actually fucks up the entire timeline and turns it into a big, jumbled mess that makes no sense. I think it's about time for people to stop hyping up this franchise so much. Only the first two movies were ever any good anyway.

Hoping to see some PS VR games, seeing as I just bought one. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

It should be said that development started four years ago, before all this Trump and alt right nonsense even started. Still, I think the inevitable controversy could end up actually helping the game's sales in the end. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

Boy, it is really easy to trigger Trump supporters, isn't it? I skipped over Primal and told myself I was tired of Far Cry but a setting like this might actually make me come back, especially if there's true campaign co-op this time.

If I were to buy a Switch, this would be the bundle I'd want. TOO BAD IT'S NOT AVAILABLE IN THE US!

More episodes arguably would have been better, but I think they did a pretty good job with what they were given. I'm ultimately satisfied. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

I could be wrong, but I believe I'm the only person here so far who has bought a PS VR, so after trying it out for a few hours I thought I would give my first impressions. Yeah, it works pretty well. I am aware that the tech in the PS VR is less powerful than that of the Vive, but as someone who has used both headsets I'd have a really hard time telling you the difference in their performance. Full disclosure, I was playing completely different games with each headset, but just in terms of things like head tracking, controller tracking, and screen quality, if there is any actual difference between the two then I sure didn't notice it. I haven't used the actual Move controllers yet. I played Farpoint with the gun controller (which feels really cool when you actually lift it up and aim down the sights yourself) and the free playroom so far, which works with the DS4. I do have a demo disc with Move compatible games. I'll try that out later and update this post to get into the Move tracking. As for the headset itself, it's pretty easy to set up. It took me about ten minutes. It would have taken less time, but my PS4 is in a wall cabinet, so hooking anything up involves moving furniture around. If it was just sitting on top of a table or something, it would have probably taken me half the time. It didn't work at first because I accidentally plugged the wrong HDMI connections into the wrong ports on the processor unit, but that was easily fixed in like ten seconds. The ports are right next to each other. I just got them mixed up. Regarding the comfort, I can say without a doubt that between the PS VR and the Vive, the PS VR is by far the more comfortable choice. The Vive is quite heavy while you're wearing it, and I often got this feeling like it was squeezing my head. It wasn't unbearable, but it was something I had to learn to ignore. The straps were awful, though I hear they changed those recently. Adjusting it for my head was also a bit cumbersome. It took me a bit to figure it out, and even after I did I often had to take the headset off to fine-tune it. Conversely, the PS VR could not be any simpler. There's a button in the back to unlock the headband, a dial near that button to tighten it around your head, and a button in the front to move the goggles back and forth. It's also quite light compared to the Vive, and I never experienced any neck pain. If there's anything I could call uncomfortable about it, it might be the rubber flaps around the edges of the goggles that sit upon your face. They're not really that bad, just kind of distracting. I found myself reaching in there with my finger to try to shift them around my nose so I'd notice them less. One other thing worth mentioning is that the Vive completely cuts off the outside world, whereas with the PS VR if you shift your eyes downward you can probably see a sliver of space that isn't covered up. A lot of VR enthusiasts would probably see that as a big negative, but it's not something that really sticks out unless you're deliberately looking for it. I actually consider it kind of a relief. If I ever start to feel disoriented or motion sick, I can just look down at myself until the feeling goes away. I'm still not sure when it comes to motion sickness. I never felt like "oh God, I'm gonna barf" but after an hour or so I started to think maybe I should take a break and not push my luck. I wasn't sick...but I felt like the possibility existed for me to BECOME sick if I kept going, if that makes sense. I don't know if it's because I'm still new to VR or if that's just the way I am. Only time will tell. I had a mild dizzy spell for a few minutes after I took the headset off, but it faded quickly. As things stand right now, I feel like it's not doing anything to me that I couldn't adjust to, but it's too early to say. Oh yeah, I played Farpoint sitting down and it worked just fine. I had to adjust the in-game height settings to say I'm shorter than I really am, but it was fine after that.

I did it. I jumped on the VR train. Normally these two items would cost me around 500 bucks, which I'd never be willing to pay, but after selling my PS3 and PS3 games as well as applying gift cards and reward points accrued across multiple accounts, the whole shebang only cost me around 150 out of pocket, and that's including Farpoint.

Maybe that was it. I dunno, I just remember hearing something about them phasing out something related to battle.net because it was outdated after so many years of advancement in online gaming. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

Wasn't Blizzard supposed to be phasing out Battle.net? I thought I remembered reading something like that...

It's hot as fuck out, y'all.

Catherine. Katherine ending. My PS3 is collecting dust so I decided I should sell it soon and maybe get a PS VR in the near future, but I wanted to play one last game on it. I bought this a while back on sale for five bucks and never got around to it and I didn't want that purchase to go to waste. This ended up being an interesting experience because puzzle games are never really my thing and...this is no exception. I was pretty invested in the story and where it was going, but whenever it came time to actually push blocks around I just kinda forced myself through it so I could get to the next cutscene. I probably would have liked this more as a visual novel or something. As it is, I'm pushing blocks every time I close my eyes now. It's not a bad puzzle game if you're into that, I suppose, but a lot of times it became very frustrating for me. I don't know if it's just because I'm bad at puzzle games or if it's designed to be particularly sadistic. It wasn't all that long of a game, so I'll probably play it one more time for the Catherine ending and then move on from the PS3 for good.

Some of the art "assets" are blatantly traced over Persona 5 character portraits. I'd post examples if they didn't contain spoilers.

Today's my birthday but I'm not really celebrating or anything. I still felt like I ought to at least buy something fun, though, and I've been kind of curious about drones for a while so I got myself a cheap one. I know that this is not a "real" drone and that enthusiasts would scoff at me for buying this one, but I'm just looking to dip my toes into the hobby and see how much I like it before I go dropping hundreds of dollars on anything serious.

Okay then, I might as well do one of these.
