I beated the Bloodborne. It was deeply satisfying.

I'm ready for Monday.

Do we have any Russia / CIS residents in the chat? Need a favour.

I can think of a limited number of situations where Trump and guns are a pleasing combo. None end well for Trump.

Dear GCHQ, not everyone here thinks George looks like a nerd. Thanks.

I don't get why DC don't get what made Marvel good. You do a bunch of decent films with origin stories, like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, feed in some other characters, sidekicks, villains etc. THEN you do the ensemble film and bring it all together with a bang. You don't throw out your good foundation (Nolan Trilogy) and then immediately do an ensemble film where you either assume everyone knows the back stories, or doesn't care. Personally, I only really know Joker and Harley. Croc and Deadshot I am peripherally aware of thanks to Arkham games. The others are complete unknowns. So as an ensemble film this does nothing for me, especially after the lacklustre reviews of BvS. I get that they don't want to spend the next five years or so grafting to get to where Marvel are, but on their current trajectory they're just never going to get there. Shrug.

Nice one. Thanks for confirming Ethan.

So what if you meet someone, then take them down to a planet you discovered and they stand on top of a large mineral deposit you destroyed? Do they float there on your screen? Or does the blasted-ness get shared to them from your machine so they don't see the minerals? (I know nobody here knows, just rhetorical).

I have authorisation, but windows 7.1 (Which I think is what the main restriction will be for office based PCs).

Yeah, I remember back story to ME that she saw/knew her parents died in a riot. Not sure about her sis.

Unless she didn't really die? Who knows?

I keep seeing these sorts of stories and thinking "it's actually happening this time".

Wherein America has become Ancient Rome.

I still play on and off. Just got a sword. Yay.

Agreed Ethan. "Runner's Vision" being an in-game representation of instinct was cool. This feels a bit forced.

That's bureaucracy at it's finest that it. Did you take down the name of the DMV drone? At least then you can back your story up somewhat.

Indeed. There's a 30 day "consultation" period where the company is obliged to try to find roles in other areas of the business etc. for those affected, but they're never going to start a consultation unless 100% sure they're closing the studio. It's not like you'd get 15 days in and say "oh yeah, actually we do need all this stuff."

Would like to see this tested on first round X Factor contestants. They seem to have a similarly loose grip on reality.

Mine (Garratty) is... weird.

So, they took the vid down due to using reference artwork from Ass:Flag. Whoops. New version here.

What's been discontinued? The kicking or the dog?

Super... Hot. Super... Hot. Loved the demo / proof of concept thing they did.

I know I know, but my point is that this is telling you (despite the fact that you have a decent CPU and not utterly woeful graphics card) that you can't even run shit VR. So how many people are going be able to run average VR, let alone the balls-out VR performance that Vive is touting? They're a niche within a niche within a niche at this point.

Not capable of "low fidelity VR" so what's the point of the super high fidelity Vive?
