    The Ridiculous 6 - This could turn it around for Adam Sandler

    Yea there's a pretty significant difference between dumb racist stuff passed off as humor and racism as satire or comedy. Blazing Saddles (mostly) was satirical and satirical stuff is still super popular today. Fuck, Blazing Saddles is still massively popular today. Trying to pass off the "dumb...

    Batman: Arkham Knight

    Yea, it sucks for those of us who have bought and played all the previous Batman games though... like gee, what a generous "we're sorry" gift that amounts to literally nothing for your serious fans :P

    Fallout 4

    I actually felt the opposite for the first 90% of my sneaky sniper playthrough since I constantly found awesome looking melee weapons. Just the past 2-3 levels I've finally started randoming into decent guns now.

    Fallout 4

    I mean sure, mods will improve it a fuckton beyond measure, but I've actively played it for over 55 hours in one playthrough so far as of a week ago (Just Cause 3 distracting me for the moment since I finished most of the main quest). Even with playing another new game, and having tons of others...

    The Ridiculous 6 - This could turn it around for Adam Sandler

    Blazing Saddles had a couple dud jokes in it but overall knew exactly what it was doing. A lot of the "offensive" stuff was more in line with satire than being just offensive for the sake of it. It's also decades old. Whereas the dumb-native-American-name thing has been done to death and...

    The Hateful Eight

    Oh I'm sure tons of people will just sit through the intermission expecting something to be there, but from what brief looking into it I've done it sounds like it's a real intermission. Not half an hour though, don't think real intermissions for movies are that long. More like 10 minutes maybe.

    Binding of Isaac Rebirth (Nov 4th)

    The Cathedral? I felt pretty happy the first time I beat it. Now that I've played way more... that's where I go if I want an easier run :P I beat everything on hard with Isaac and now Maggy. I feel like I've got a pretty good grasp of the game but probably still missing some fundamentals...

    Spectre (2015)

    Yea if they had just gone 100% on it I think it would have been way more enjoyable, if even more bizarre.

    I ended up going with an EVGA 970 and some new 2400 RAM (was same price as expanding the 1333 I had so I figured why not just go all new). Insane difference. With all those cheap 970s flying around... Can you SLI one model of 970 to another (e.g. Zotac to EVGA)?

    Spectre (2015)

    It's a grey area. It has the mannerisms and tropes of the older, cheesier Bond films, with the appearance and try-hardness of the modern ones. So it felt like a Bond movie, but it felt like thewrongBond movie.

    The Revenant (2015)

    If it wasn't for the whole genocide thing, Andrew Jackson would be my favorite president bar none. Dude was so hardcore guns were scared to shoot him. Among a number of other ludicrous things about his life. The biography of him by Jon Meachum is well worth the read if anyone likes historical...

    League Of Legends

    I would almost say the average "game effect" of a League champ is higher than that of the average dota champ, but dota has much bigger extremes as well. Champs like TF, Shen, Eve, Rumble, Donger, Soraka, Blitz, Thresh, Karthus, etc. all have significant impact on decisions you at leastshouldmake...

    Just Cause 3

    I played this basically all day yesterday. It is purely better than JC2 in my opinion, but it's also more of the same. The variety that the wingsuit and remote grapple points add to the game is surprising though. Grappling a heavy armor guy into a gas tank and then shooting the tank is really...

    Just Cause 3

    I think it's actually a global release, so probably not

    Just Cause 3

    There's a day 1 patch so all those people playing it early supposedly still had an unoptimized version, according to the devs. Who knows. PC review footage has always looked fine though yea.

    Sure, it seems silly, until something survives the Fatman, then you'll be glad it's staggered!

    Overwatch

    I had a lot of fun with Blacklight: Retribution but it certainly never made me feel like it was competing with TF2. Felt like a F2P CoD if anything, and when I was still in college, that was great :P I actually still have some great gameplay memories from it. I guess it stands to reason other...

    Desktop Computers

    Yea I have an SSD. Fallout 4 runs pretty well, Black Ops 3 not so much. Other games are generally fine on low-medium at least but I miss my high settings. It had just been so long since I bought anything I assumed my whole rig was out dated, but when I started looking at pieces I realized it...

    Desktop Computers

    I was planning on building a new rig next year in Q1 sometime, but it occurs to me that it makes more sense to do it around the holidays when I can hunt sales down. I'm trying to decide if I even need a whole new one though. My CPU still looks competitive but I'm not really sure how CPUs compare...

    The balance complaints from the weekenders are laughable and ignorable. Not even close to accurate :P

    Fallout 4

    Apparently (according to people online) if you make a new character it actually automatically makes a new save profile, and so when you go to load you choose between them. Haven't tried it myself though.

    Yea I figured those would be opened up when the GECK or whatever they call it this time is released

    Fallout 4

    Yea, I still get sneak attacks on people that are blind firing in my direction, so they definitely aren't aggrod exactly. Edit: Dogmeat definitely seems to have a different detected bar than me. He's been in fights with guys 15 feet away from me and I'm still "hidden", so don't know why you...

    Fallout 4

    I had been wondering if there was ever an item you could unlock or carry with you that would let you salvage stuff on the go. I should probably NOT do this so I don't end up scrubbing the entire map clean :P

    Fallout 4

    It's not super necessary but considering I'll need to find the STR Bobblehead + spend a perk on STR + spend perks on Armorsmith, I'm ok with just throwing the one point into sniper for now and not needing that mod at all :P plus let's me free up mod space for other shit later
  28. Amzin

    Fallout 4

    I kind of regret not having more STR so I could do Armorsmith early on but I have no idea what I'd sacrifice for it. Maybe 1 point of PER since if I could mod armor I might not need the Sniper perk as badly (that rank 1 is a big QoL perk though). Actually don't even know what PERKS I'd sacrifice...

    Fallout 4

    Had one of my first significantly memorable random encounters. At least I assume it was random. Was taking a scenic route back to Sanctuary to explore a little and heard some pew-pew, so I veered for it and saw a super mutant suicider charging what I assumed was some BoS guy because they were...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Most people seemed to not bother waiting for flash/daily sales so it seems likely they'll lean towards the "normal" sale prices which sucks for those of us who DID hold out for the better prices :P Guess I just won't buy much if that happens though.

    Spectre (2015)

    I think I agree with what Runnen said... it looked like a modern, Danielle Craig Bond, but everything about it was closer to the old bonds as far as disbelief and tropes go. It bugged me during the movie but I couldn't put my finger on it. There were no surprises like there were in the previous...

    Fallout 4

    Those percentage perk typo things were in NV too, and never got fixed, but I wonder if Bethesda will actually patch them since I believe they patched up FO3 a bunch.

    Fallout 4

    Probably depends on the follower. I've stuck with Dogmeat so far and he seems to draw aggro in close quarters way too early. Distance is much safer. I want to take Lone Wanderer with this build too since I can't think of another build where I'd ever take it. The funny part is though is that...

    Fallout 4

    I have found most of the "main quest" dialogue pretty meh at best, but almost all the side stuff has been pretty great. Tons of flavor everywhere, the random NPC dialogue is stronger, the random conversations are great, a lot of the tapes and terminals are amusing or interesting. Some of the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I think a lot of the class skill legendary boosts may be aimed at the one-set-only set, to give you some options for that.

    League Of Legends

    Pretty happy about Yasuo feeling dangerous on my own again. I messed around with new items in custom games but haven't tried any ADC in real games... Graves does a shitton of damage though. Like, insane amounts. But it seems like bot lane would be almost impossible for him? Can't last hit back...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yea another huge patch. If it wasn't for FO4, Blops 3, Afterbirth, and the LoL pre-season patch, I'd probably hop on PTR and dink around :P

    Fallout 4

    So potentially a dumb question, but if you guys are playing FO4 offline after VPN unlocking it, are achievements getting awarded at all? I don't go out of my way for them but it annoys me to play and not be earning them when I should be. I unexpectedly have time today so contemplating my choices.
