    Man of Steel

    yeah. Both companies have many crossover events from time to time. Or every 3 months nowadays, since thats how they stay in business... DC's has had a number of mega events. And loves two things. the number 52, and the word Crisis. Originally from the 60's to mid 80's there were Annual...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    The False Trouble Kingdom has fallen. haha. Early game is so much harder now,without exploiting. Crafting is so much more involved. population is really tight. If you have soldiers training, you will be low on foresters, etc. And under geared for metalworking. Goblins will scale faster...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    yeah. If you haven't played in a while. Crafting had a major overhaul recently. Its way more complicated then it was previously. Swords need a blade and a haft for example to combine into a sword. instead of simply building a sword. Hathe, probably a priority issue. A woodcutter has...

    Bioshock Infinite

    As stated, yeah, Bioshock 2 was handed off. Ken Levine the head of Irrational, started with Looking Glass Studios. He worked on Thief: The Dark Project. Founded Irrational. lead on System Shock 2. Then created Freedom Force, Tribes:vengeance, and Swat4. Then Bioshock. And now Bioshock...

    Lumi's Batshit Insane Thread

    if they had "proof", they would be going back to that location where they got that "proof" every damn day until no one could deny them. Ghosts for me is the basic. Rational mind says no. but tell that to my not rational mind when I'm walking down an unlit stairwell into an 100% dark...

    Man of Steel

    yeah. pretty much. And frankly thats fine too. Darkseid ain't pretty. And if he throws a single punch or takes one. you are doing it wrong anyway. The God of Evil does not lower himself to fisticuffs.

    Man of Steel

    The whole "superman is all powerful" thing isn't even remotely true in DC. sure sometimes he gets the plot armor powerup. Orion, Mongul, Darksied, Amazo for example. all straight up physically stronger. Marvel/Black Adam on par. And there are definitely many more. Energy projection...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    yeah. I've been mentioning this in the indie game thread. Really like it. It's still getting updated regularly. I would still call it alpha though. so anyone expecting a nearly whole game, not yet. There are still giant holes in the gameplay. Never had that specific problem with...

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    yeah, actually. Either time skip after, or have it take place at the same time as Episode 3, but purely from the troopers point of view.

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    yeah . Pretty fantastic job. Series really should end on that. I have no idea what they can do for more seasons, and not just feel REALLY tacked on. If I was in charge. I would seriously consider a time skip to after Episode 3 for the rest of the show.

    Olympus Has Fallen

    huh. its just a dumb action movie? Could have sworn I saw a different trailer that made it look more like a drama. Morgan Freeman, and Aaron Eckart kindof bug me in these roles. Entirely too likeable/competent. I mean can you imagine Freeman as the secretary of state? Shit would get done.

    EA's pay to win future

    you seem to be moving the bar. Why does a great game need to be a risk?

    EA's pay to win future

    A significant part of that cost was the ram. there is a reason we swapped off carts. 10c CD's and DVD's vs $40 of ram/chips Another aspect people overlook in the comparisons then and now is both increased overall sales, and increased competition. The increased sales aspect is what has...

    EA's pay to win future

    Witcher 2 really was only $10m? Where are you getting that number? That is pretty remarkably low. Looking at a neogaf thread right now about Crysis 3. "triple Crysis 1 budget" Crysis 1 was $22m. So around $66m. Fucking crazy.

    Animated movies that surprised you

    how the heck did Wall-E surprise you? Thats like the height of Pixar's output. Tangled and Megamind/how to train your dragon. Disney movies have not been so great in a while. Tangled really was a step up. Dreamworks out of nowhere with both those two. Nausicaa of the...

    EA's pay to win future

    Agreed. And Im also going to comment on Jaits. Do you really feel like you are paying more for the same experience since the f2p/micro Jait? really? I'm pretty sure I'm playing 10x more games at half the price. mmos. I have DDO, Lothro, DCUO, GW2, Doofus, Tera installed. Then how...

    Path of Exile

    When more items are added at a greater range the pricing will make more sense I'm sure. I dropped $100 in closed beta. So personally I have a good amount of points just sitting around.

    38 Studios

    As far as anyone know the money he invested as all liquid assets in the first place. Not really sure why he would have needed more. And any money the company owes he is not personally liable for. not even close. Especially in a company like that. Even a small privately owned business with 1...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    pretty rarely. Occasionally an old PC game. And lets be real, if I really want to play an SNES game, or whatever. My SNES still fucking works. why the hell would I care if my Wii can't play snes games? Complaining about backwards compat is pretty stupid most often. The only real...

    yeah, I have not heard anyone really hyping Xenoblade. Are you sure you aren't thinking about Xenosaga in terms of games getting hype?

    The Netflix Thread

    checking this out atm. But needed to stop and comment. Was watching a few ther Indian/Hindi movies a while back. Its so bizarre. They just break out into English randomly. I mean, one or two words I might expect. Names or slang that has no translation working its way into a language...

    Neverwinter: PC

    heh. I think its funny. narrator mentions wanting to see players needing to march in formations, to make use of the targeting skills, etc. A phalanx would totally be considered exploiting in a game, that allowed it. If a game has player collision with players and npcs. if you could hold...

    yeah, raw amounts of ram is not really the limiting factor in anything anymore. HDD speeds, power, transfer rates, etc.

    JRPGs of the X360/PS3/Wii Generation

    Yeah, I skipped this gen mostly for consoles. But older gen Tales games were all pretty consistently upper tier. Have heard good things about Vesperia. Think I heard good things about these two: Xenoblade The Last Story This one is pretty fricking amazing. But not really a...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I think Phoenix was having a bit of a brain shutdown. 720p is low. Pc's running at 1920x1080 are 1080p. Which is bluray, etc. Few xbox/ps3 games ran at 1080p. that is what he was thinking most likely. Most PC's nowadays run even HIGHER at widescreen 1920x1200. or even higher still...

    So uh.. The River? "Considering the record-breaking success The Walking Dead has had, the real surprise isn?t that AMC wants to try and repeat its successful formula with a new series; it?s that other cable networks aren?t doing exactly the same thing already. " And uh, American Horror...

    well so is any comparatively priced PC hardware. Hinadurus was already answered of course. His friend is an idiot. Right NOW at the very beginning of the console gen, yes. a $600 ps4, will beat up to an $800 pc in general built within that last year. Note, that PC might have an SSD hd or...

    Lets not pretend they didn't strike gold with that "supercharged PC architecture" phrase, aka blast processing. People(kids that don't know what it means) are going to eat that up. That phrase will sell PS4's. Will be injected into "Ps4 is better then PC's at 300 while PC's cost $5000 and...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    At first I thought, you were crazy. Playing PoE with its qwert+mouse is pretty near perfect, save the extra mouse buttons it needs. But, you can look at that vid I posted, about the possibly of offline play. Early in the vid, Metzen claims Blizzard invented Arpgs. which is patently false...

    Ultima Forever : Quest for the Avatar

    wait, is this out or? but yeah, I guess this didn't get a new thread on the new boards? Just a reminder, this is one that, that everyone was laughing their asses off, at its announcement.
