As silly as it is, that's actually a pretty standard way for outsourced/contracted companies to transfer gear between data centers. You'll notice that there aren't any labels on the remaining cable portions; this is done intentionally as well for security purposes. Typically one company will...

Inherent inequality should not breed inherent abstraction of responsibility. Men are stronger than women. That doesn't mean women should get to act like cunts to men and get away with it. Should a man blast a broad full force in her dome if she spits on him? No. Same as a man doing the same...

Don't hit women, unless they deserve it. And women can deserve it the same way a man can deserve it. The trick is, this generation (and the previous few) have been trained to believe that they are somehow exempt from repercussions for being a cunt, or doing cunty things. The more object...

Yeah, FFXV has some really bad integration of multiple mediums. Instead of adding to the story, they literally remove chunks of what should have been the main narrative from the game and make you watch a movie and an anime to figure out wtf is going on. It can definitely be done better, and...

Combat in 15 was pretty repetitive, but overall I liked everything up to Resident Evil-Lite. The ending itself was cool and the final fight was pretty great, but yeah it was so obviously rushed at the end.

Yeah, it's very similar to the cel shading that was done in DQ8, just way better thanks to modern hardware. Just got to the Amazing game; can't believe how long it's been since a big console DQ game out. So much better than on a handheld.

Quick tip for those that are having issues completing the specific "have x people pepped and combo this rare monster" quests: When you get your 5th person and can switch out members of the party, pep doesn't go away for the character switched out. So if someone is a pain to get pepped (serena)...

Difficulty increases are almost entirely on par with what you can "alchemize" in most DQ games. 8 has a notorious spike when you can fight Dhoulmagus the first time, but it is very easy to cope with if you make silver shields/etc. I'm a bit shy on 11 stuff (no spoilz thanks) but it is most...

I bought this game after it officially released and it was pretty f'n awesome. Short when it comes to the story, but awesome. Problem is, to get to the end of the game you basically need to discover/collect most the things, so you end up with nothing post-game aside from pretty base building...

Lotta "chicks" with long swords in that pic. History approves.

Dragonslayer. I really liked that movie as a kid, especially the lottery scene, and of course all the cool dragon stuff.

Haven't had a ton of time with it, but just finished up my 8th person's starting quest. Olberic and Therion are by far my favorite characters, with Tressa being the most "waddafug?" kind of addition. And I am a hardcore crafter/getherer asshole at heart, so it should have been completely in...

Whomever did the RPGsite review didn't get past the character collection part of the game, unless I missed something in the review. They also scored the game the lowest, tied with exactly one other rag compared to over a dozen that went for B+ or better. We'll see, but being an outlier doesn't...

F'n awesome. Only got to a party size of 3 during the demo, but man is it cool shit. Can't wait for full release next month. Bought switch for the games that -will- be coming out and BoTW, and this is one of the ones I've been waiting for. Glad it releases a solid bit of time before DQ11 hah.

Jesus... watched the trailer video, and the first guy they flip to looks like he should be buried in the first level of Super Mario Bros. 2. Why can't people shit on their own childhood instead of mine?

Ok, who broke Tad?

Nah; we're a den of (admittedly justified) negativity when it comes to Brad-centric games. Too many of us have played EQ/Vanguard and have seen firsthand his shenanigans. We are -not- a good shill spot. If the product is good we'll embrace it, but if it is subpar in -any- way it'll get shit...

Slayer farewell show at Irvine was great! Except Behemoth sucks donkey dong compared to literally every other band on the lineup, and didn't fit the vibe at all. Except maybe Satan or something? Lamb of God halting the show so medics could get to a downed mosher, with people behind me yelling...

This is FOH; if a tranny wasn't involved somehow I don't think I would believe it is real. That's just how FoH do.

It's a pretty standard corporate stance: If it makes money, spend money on it. If it just keeps things running, spend as little as possible to keep it running. Operation costs vs. development costs. Both are a cost, but one maintains while the other makes you money. I definitely believe...

It's easy to tie crafting into endgame gear. Drops from raid bosses can't be dropped, and they can only be created by crafters who have killed the boss (character flag) and the gear can only be worn by characters who have killed the boss (same character flag!). Voila; best gear in the game as...

Er, I'm not sure what game you played, but Allas certainly wasn't spoiling relevant endgame content with strats when EQ was relevant. The information most certainly was not available for relevant endgame content through at least Velious, and I want to say through Luclin as well. Drops and some...

Cool, a year of beta in a game based on rare spawns and mild content denial, in the modern era. That won't completely ruin everything by the time it hits actual release or anything! Instead of monopolizing the good shit after discovering it as an uberguild like the good old days... you'll have...

That'd be the one. I hadn't heard it before the show, and it was hard to pick out the specific lyrics. Just a pretty big departure from what sounds like the rest of the album.

Not specifically Tool-centric, but the APC show at the Arlington in SB tonight was pretty great. They have one song on the new album I'm not stoked about (you know the one if you were at the show; very pop-esque) but the rest was good stuff. Hopefully new Tool early next year!

The real pain is that it isn't Trig where most CS degrees stop. At least in California, you're looking at least getting to Multivariable Calc, and most want you to have every non-theory math class completed. The Math reqs for physics and computer science are largely the same, with vastly...

First Wild Arms was pretty classic (I honestly didn't like the AF remake, but I may be weird) and the second one was pretty decent. Third was different and removed a lot of the "gear" stuff from the games, but was still pretty cool. The rest of the releases were decidedly "meh."

They went through and removed all the question wording, due to Cisco finally deciding enough was enough with them. You have the answers, but not what they were asking in the first place for almost all of the material, making it a slog. It's still around, just nowhere near as useful as it once was.

Might fuck up your keto-ing if you start chucking berries (fairly sure they are too high in sugar to be used in most keto diets, but I'll let the experts chime in) into shakes without massaging the carbs out of other spots in your intake. Should look into Erythritol(sp?) as an additive...

Bad two week class! If I remember right, you aren't new to this stuff (I think we're talking R&S, yeah?) so it's probably just nonsense questions where there's a right answer and there's a Cisco answer. When I took my R&S last year, that's what I missed, I'm fairly sure. Some specifics about...

Stipe's excel troll game is pretty strong.

I can see not completing 8, but 7 is fairly epic. 6's entire ending section is pretty massive compared to others between 5 and 10, so I can see being daunted by that. 9 is confusing when you are at the final final boss, but 10's ending is really fun, and the battle is pretty rough. Best boss...

Think I've figured out why you can't figure out the attraction of the DQ series. It's hidden in the "offset by Toriyama's typical character design, unfortunately" comment, haha. If you don't like Toriyama artwork, you wouldn't like the series most likely. Especially with the 8th entry. But...

I'm in chapter 3 right now; liking the game a lot so far, though I do wish combat was a little more tactical at this point. I'm trying to remember any difficulty spikes in the first Ni No Kuni, and about the only one that stands out is the battle in the port/vacation town where you finally kind...

I think VG was a better "game" than EQ, but this of course brings up all the fun "EQ was a game!" arguments. It was a chatroom for 9/10ths of players. VG was an actual game.

response to Control - Eh, you know 2-10k people who would pay for that experience. Those people are also incredibly more likely to congregate together, and share similar ideas when they do. So they aren't reaching out to others and making a good case for their game-play style preference; they...

There's a tip above about doing the superman to avoid his basically 1-hit KO dive. Otherwise, the "easiest" way is to grab one of the shield based weapons and just block/counter your way to victory. Works on just about everything, just generally not quickly (charge blade not included!) If you...

Where are the fanbois shitting on Stylized artwork? Look at those character models and tell me they aren't stylized to affect a more cartoonish vibe. Please, Pantheon faithful. Shit on this travesty with the power you know you wield. Character artwork doesn't match up with landscape artwork...

3pc Uragaan can block everything in the game, I'm pretty sure. When I fight Kirin with my Lance, I stand in her face and just up poke after every bolt of lightning (Can get slightly animation locked with a counter, and it can double bolt pretty often) Multiplayer is a flat flag. If you are...

The dialogue I heard the most (of course) was the intro with Richter by far as I learned the moveset in order to start with slightly higher overall stats. It doesn't make a real difference, but hearing the "What is a man?.." speech over and over was oddly kind of worth it haha.
