That seems so weird to me, given how densely populated the UK is. Even around here it seems like the only time I can't get service is if I'm underground or in a building built like a faraday cage that's miles from the nearest town.

Well otherwise it would get confusing with bangers and mash.

I don't think "good" is the right word. It looks like it could conceivably be entertaining.

Next year. Probably November-ish.

Not a problem at all. The games are almost completely independent other than sharing the same world.

You don't have to sift the flour, just fluff it. You can do that while scooping it out of the bag. It's really not difficult. Pretty much all US recipes use volume for everything. Also, do you guys not have standardized tablespoons?

I'm not sure what you mean by "they use different measures". A wet cup and a dry cup are still the same volume, it doesn't cause any issues. With flour specifically you're always supposed to measure it fluffed.

All lies, GoT actors sprang fully formed from the forehead of GRRM.

I voted for Fallout 4 more by process of elimination than anything else. I actually think Life Is Strange would be my real GOTY pick.

I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, but I can confirm Life Is Strange is available to add to your library because I did it.

You have to add the game to your Raptr account before it will show up under manual.

What game are you playing that isn't in Raptr's manual list?

Yeah, so I'm never doing that.

Holy shit.

Scratch that, it just shipped. Yay!

That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a game.

I just finished Jessica Jones, and really like it. One thing that's been nagging at me though (late episode spoilers):

Great game, totally worth it. Though why does every company think they need their own damn services instead of just letting us use the standard ones?

Mine's not even supposed to ship for another 3-5 days.

Splashtop is what I used for playing PC games from my laptop before Steam streaming was a thing. It's free for local network streaming, although it charges $17/year for streaming from elsewhere.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. My initial reaction when I heard about the beast master thing was for my interest in the game to decrease, but now that I've seen the trailer and it appears you only ever control one animal at a time my reaction is less negative.

I already ninja'd you on that. They do have 8k cameras, it's just almost nothing has actually been made with them yet.

Apparently I'm full of shit, and 4k is the standard for filming. I have no idea where the 8k idea came from. My only thought is that apparently lots of old films when they're digitally remastered are scanned in at 8k, edited/touched up at 8k, and then downsampled to 1080p or 4k for production. Also, apparently for the last 20 years when movies were being converted to digital formats like DVD/Bluray they were scanned at 4k, edited at 4k, downsampled to 480p (DVD) or 1080p (Bluray), and then the 4k masters were just fucking deleted. It never occurred to anyone that they might be useful for any reason... Finally, to come back on-topic, Attack of the Clones was apparently shot with just 1080p cameras (!), and then they cropped it to 2.40:1 so the actual final image is only 1920x817. And that's the originals! What the hell were they thinking?!

Most movies are actually filmed in 8k or higher. Not only did I watch it on a shitty 480i TV (progressive scan TVs weren't really a thing until ~2000), but it was on a shitty VHS that was recorded at home from a TV broadcast, so yeah...

Yeah, that's part of my thought is I can see vr never really taking off, but for $20 it doesn't matter if I end up sticking it in a closet and never using it.
