    NBA 2015 Off-Season Thread

    Looks like Cousins is done in SAC. Pretty incredible. I wonder if they knew what they were getting with Karl. If I was a SAC fan I'd be pissed - getting rid of someone like Cousins is a tough pill, even given his mentality / maturity issues. No way Karl and him can co-exist now that the story is...

    Goatwhore was fucking awesome. Super brutal. Actually, Black Breath were also really good. Definitely the second best band on the bill. Ringworm felt a bit like they were going through the motions.

    Witcher 3

    God I'm struggling with Novigrad. The main quest there is so bad compared to the Bloody Baron questline. I'm so sick and tired of wandering from house to house looking for person XYZ. I keep wandering off into the wilderness just so I can have some actual fun killing monsters; but as a result...

    It seems like a pretty foolproof plan to me. I'm surprised no one else has thought of doing this kind of thing, but then again maybe that's why you are on the cusp between genius/madness. If I was you, I'd definitely say that I was inspired by "recent transformations" . . . gotta make sure to...

    Witcher 3

    I'm a bit torn on what to do now. I'm finding the Novigrad quests pretty boring and I don't enjoy being in the city nearly as much as the wilderness. Went to Skellige to get a waypoint for ease later but now I'm tempted to just not come back. It seems like I could just write off a bunch of that...

    Fallout 4

    I thought it was funny when some of the videogame outlets were walking through all the "iconic" settings shown in the trailer. Hah hah - iconic, yeah, maybe if you live in fucking Boston. I wouldn't have recognized any of those places. I'm not a 'murican but the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas sign are...

    Witcher 3

    I'm not usually one for calling people out but come on dude - this borders on malpractice Combat in Witcher 3 isn't in the same godamned universe as Souls-level combat. Its spammy, weightless, repetitive, hard to judge distance, and many moves are near useless unless you are going for style...

    Witcher 3

    Wow. I can't read a fucking thing in the UI. I never really cared that my TV was so outdated and small because I don't use it very much and I've haven't had issues in other games. Yuck. PC play incoming.

    Bloodborne

    The real issue with BB is lack of build diversity. That's a huge letdown for me. A big reason the Souls games still have such high streamer retention is because you can still find someone taking some crazy build through the game. I watch all of these games on twitch literally every day and it is...

    Bloodborne

    Funny. I was in the same boat as you - pretty good at these games, killed a bunch of other "tough" bosses with not much difficulty, and then got my shit stomped in by Gehrman. I also probably had 15+ attempts before an enfored break due to injury. Came back after a week or so and killed him...

    Bloodborne

    Well I finally killed Eileen. Like many things in the series the fight weirdly and suddenly became a no-brainer. I just turned on the PS4, walked in there, and obliterated her. Strange. I'd upgraded to +10 from +9 so my damage was better but really I just grew a brain to dodge her attacks. I was...

    Bloodborne

    Man I am getting absolutely raped by a hunter that appears in the Church after killing Vicar Amelia. I just happened to be wandering by and went in there and found her/it. She/it railed me like 8 times in a row before I just bailed. I'm doing decently at everything else - 1-shot a couple of...

    Nice - really good playing! That's one of the songs I'm trying to learn at the moment. I, errrr, can't play it that well yet Hilariously enough, right after I bought my POD I was in a shitty bike accident and tore my AC ligament in my shoulder. Haven't had proper use of my arm for 3 weeks...

    Bloodborne

    I'm loving the game with a few minor mechanical quibbles - long long times, inability to port between lanterns, and not much build diversity compated to the Souls series. But the game itself is great. Level design is awesome and I'm really enjoying the monsters. Fuck some of those screaming hag...

    (PC) - Ori and the blind forest

    This is a very pretty game with fantastic audio but the gameplay doesn't really develop in an interesting way and some of the level design is quite frustrating. It has the aura of one of those indie-darling games that is getting better reviews than it desereves. Sure, I guess it was worth 20...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    In this day and age it seems so outdated not to be able to preorder this game and get early access. Its a shame because I think the audience crossover between this game and Bloodborne is going to be quite high...and I highly doubt this will be choice #1 for next week's purchase. Looking forward...

    Thanks once again! It seemed like a no-brainer to go with the HD500 since it was right in my price range. Got it home today and...holy shit! It is EXACTLY the thing I was looking for. Having a blast with it and it gave me that "just a few more minutes playing" vibe I used to get when I was...

    I've been away from guitar for a loooooong time but recently started playing again. Here's my problem. My kids like to sleep at roughly the only time I can play and my old Marshall Valvestate 8080 doesn't have a headphone jack. Does anyone have suggestions for what I can/should do to listen to...

    Can someone please explain to me trading away Dragic and Thomas. I just don't understsand. Did both trades actually happen? Am I missing something?

    Godamn I wish I knew that once your guys hit Level 3 they won't do earlier missions any moreGot 3/4 killed on my first Level 3 dungeon due to some horrific RNG (two Rend crits in a row brought 2 chars to 1 and then Fucking Drums of Debilitation....both kicked it over Death's Door). Godamn. Now...

    Darkest Dungeon

    I just about shit myself when I found him, but managed to kill the Pig Prince on my first try. I lucked a bit running into him right after I had /camped, but as The Man says, a trifling victory is...still, a victory! Trinkets need an overhaul I think. They are mostly useless or too specialized.

    Darkest Dungeon

    I also had a guy go insane and kill himself. It made me laugh so hard. I spit on his fucking coward grave. My only real complaint is stress from random environmental things...like just walking around. That seems kinda lame since you can't plan for it and it is unavoidable.

    Darkest Dungeon

    Got a pretty awesome setup going right now: Priest, Plague Doctor, Hellion, Crusader. So much crowd control = so much healing. Yaulp is one of my favorite skills since it allows me to indefinitely prolong a fight so I can heal up all my guys. Love this game.

    Darkest Dungeon

    I'm stunned at the delta between this game's design (point and click on a hand-drawn background!) and its atmosphere and gameplay. Bought it last night after lots of Twitch viewing and I absolutely love the style, writing, setting, narrative and straightforward but engaging strategy. What a gem...

    Darkest Dungeon

    I'm really intrigued by this game. I recall hearing about it a long time ago but it fell off my radar. Amazing artistic style and the gameplay looks solid. Will be a nice change from all of the open world (Far Cry 4, ACU, Mordor, DA, Dying Light) stuff I've been playing lately.

    The Order: 1886

    I've been totally warned off buying this as a Day 1 release. All the previews I've heard say that the game is boring, full of clunky quicktime events, or else standard cover-shooter fare. And those are the people who get paid to like early release games! Damn. Not holding out much hope for this.

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    I really wanted to like this game but after a series of financial disasters (fines, deaths, lost cargo, lost carto info) I'm putting it on hold. I think it is a great platform for a space sim, but the moment you try and veer off the path of trade route x = money you can just get so severely...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    Fuck this game's servers for going down the last two nights in a row I've tried to play. Here I am doing all this research about what to do and how to not suck at it, but still no playtime advancement. Gar. I really hate online shit.

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    So had a pretty cool experience that inspired me to go and buy at least a shitty joystick. Was delivering cargo in some system but got interdicted. Since I've been looking for a fight ever since I got destroyed by that Anaconda I decided to intentially drop and see what kind of pirate it was. He...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    That was the first bounty I saw so I had no frame of reference by which to compare. I'd only ever seen 2-3 other fetch missions. Since I'm only in the starter systems (i.e. default jump range) it sort of made sense to think that the bounties would be difficult yet possible. Anyway, I'm not...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    So I went off bounty hunting after a few cargo quests allowed me to upgrade my ship. The good news: I found them finally. The bad news: they were in an Anaconda. While I can sort of kinda understand that this sort of thing is fine at an intellectual level, part of me thinks, hey guys...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    Oh. Hah hah. I'll go try again then Yes, I could technically get a HOTAS and return if I get bored, but I'm a serial non-returner. Once that shit gets in my house its there for good unless it breaks.

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    So I bought the game and so far it is...pretty daunting. Mechnically, I'm just fine - I can launch, land, navigate, manage systems and all that shit just fine. But insofar as what I'm actually *doing*...I have no clue. I started with a quest to find some black box so off I went...only to...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    Is this game worth 250 bucks? Cause realistically that's what I'd need to spend for the game + reliable HOTAS.
