I've made it through Mission 4 without being seen so far. It doesn't seem harder than Dishonored 1, with the exception of a bug(?) I encountered where I was trying to take out a clockwork soldier with a grenade and it kept "seeing me" even though it wasn't, it was just seeing the grenade.

I've never been able to get in to previous Hitman games (though part of that could be them becoming dated because i never tried until years later) so I didn't want to pony up for the whole season blind. Though if I like it I'll probably kick myself for not getting the season pass (it's $12.something).

Hitman Intro Pack Steam key is $3.74 on Gamestop's site.

We bought a weed-eater leaf-blower combo because it was cheaper than buying the same weed-eater by itself for some reason...

Titanfall 2. It was $30 at Best Buy and I had a Best Buy gift card with $21 on it that I've had for more than a year because I never shop at Best Buy, so I figured what the hell.

As it does for me. Got it at 4k with everything maxed and it's very pretty (granted I also have dynamic resolution on because occasionally but infrequently the framerate would drop into the 40's).

lol, $4 is exciting but $6 is way too much?

Oh, I've been on Windows 10 for a long time, this is just the first time I've done a clean install (always before I was upgrading a copy of Windows 7).

Apparently nowhere, but it's $6 at Gamesplanet.

And I spoke too soon.

Le sigh. Oh well, there always has to be some problem during a computer build/upgrade, I'm just glad it was a software problem and not that any of the parts were bad. *Edit - At least Windows 10 installs infinity times faster than 7.

I was thinking "didn't I see that for like $4 yesterday?" and then realized I was confusing it with Wolfenstein.

Your CPU/fan doesn't come with thermal paste?

All day it's said it's arriving today before the end of the day, and then all of a sudden at 3:23 PM, after I've gotten myself all excited and gotten everything ready to transfer over, they changed it back to arriving tomorrow.

I'd say I picked the right time to buy the game, but Amazon's order status is currently "we'll let you know when we have one to send you".

Like any game?

You say it breaks the game, I say it's about fucking time. The whole combat system is based around exploiting type advantages, and it was really stupid that you were supposed to have to memorize all of that for hundreds and hundreds of Pokemon. This one might actually be playable without a Pokedex pulled up on my phone.

And now they've updated the delivery date to tomorrow! Mine is originating in Indianapolis, which is approximately 700 miles. Don't know how they're planning to deliver it tomorrow, but I'm not complaining.

Yeah, SATA ports were one of the reasons I picked the mobo I did: I have 4 HDDs in my computer so I need enough SATA ports for all of them. I finally got my shipping notification and it's expected to get here Wednesday. Yay!

Snagged StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void. Amazon's got it for $18 right now and that price was too good to pass up.

That.

I will admit that the fan is the part I researched the least. I just picked one that was cheap, would fit the socket, and that people said cooled their CPU well.

Yeah, Civ's got it right for the tutorial options: New to Civ, New to Civ VI, or No Tutorial (Civ V did it the same way).

IRL the relativistic effects remain so long as you're actually accelerating through spacetime. Something like the Alcubierre warp drive (assuming it's possible to construct, which it probably isn't) would avoid relativistic issues because it would actually warp space around the ship, the ship itself wouldn't move, so there's no acceleration and ergo no time dilation. Mass Effect is fictional, so it doesn't have to follow the IRL rules, and they kind of hand-wave it. Eezo allows you to create "mass effect" fields which alter the laws of physics and allow you to get from point A to point B sooner than a light beam would without actually travelling through space at faster than the speed of light. You're moving a bubble of low-mass space around, but the ship itself isn't really moving in the conventional sense. This is how you can travel from one system to another and back faster than light without arriving before you departed. The relays create narrow pathways of this low-mass space between themselves using mass effect fields way more powerful than what the citadel races can create, allowing ships to move ultra-fast between relays. While the citadel races can't duplicate the relays, they were able to create a comm buoy system that uses the same principle to create similar pathways big enough to send a laser down, which is how they send messages from one system to another faster than light. From what I recall the codex entries never explicitly mention time travel, but the fact that you don't have relativistic effects from FTL in the mass effect universe is implicit in the fact that throughout the games you hop all over the galaxy but it never seems to create any problems with linear time. @dean: I had forgotten about the QEC. That was supposedly something super secret and brand new developed by Cerberus, so they're probably just going to pretend it doesn't exist. As far as the end wave expanding faster than the mass relays, I just assumed it was traveling at the speed of light, so when it ended up in the low mass space between relays it was travelling at the speed of light in that low-mass space, which is much much higher than the regular speed of light. Even though the Normandy was also travelling through that space it was going slower than the speed of light in that space and so was overtaken.
