    I mean... people "do" play it with a keyboard and mouse. But save yourself a much steeper learning curve and just do the 360 wired controller. Or whatever controller you prefer, but it makes it substantially more enjoyable, imo.

    Even lightning reflexes twitch skill players have issues with dark souls, because it punishes the heedless harshly. When you learn an enemy's movement, or come to the understanding that you need to roll/dodge/block attacks until you get an opening, and not just run at it swinging, you start...

    About the Shadow of Mordor comparison: it isn't even close haha. Dragon's Dogma is open world in a similar vein, but a much larger open world, with very distinct areas and stuff that is clearly too powerful to be in certain areas scattered around. Like running into a goddamn chimera, at night...

    Yeah definitely a thumbs up for Dragon's Dogma. I put a shitload of hours into the ps3 version, it has easily one of the most engaging overworlds in recent memory, and has no real barrier to keep you out of high end areas right from the getgo. Granted, you'll want to beat the base game first...

    Support muscles are some of the most easily injured. If you aren't already, when the pain goes away I would work with more free weights and get the non-primary muscles some work. This may alleviate your issues, and help to prevent further ones.

    SteamOS - SteamWare

    Steam Box is a device aimed at a PC gaming audience (also known as Master Race) who are, in general, fairly saavy when it comes to technology. The people with a large steam library that would benefit from this are also the people who probably build their own machines. When you slap together...

    Expanding on what Khane said: The way characters develop is based upon the actions they take and the characters they are paired with (to a degree) as you will use certain "types" of abilities more with certain characters. This alters their progression and can lock you out of specific "classes"...

    Yeah, definitely dig into that game. Literally one of the best RPGs of the last generation that had a horribly flawed 360 debut. AladainAF is correct; the PC version fixedeverything.

    Glad they didn't shy away from OPMand the animation continues to be pretty awesome. The next couple of episodes should be absolutely awesome if they are sticking as closely as they have been so far with the manga.

    Woops, haven't played since I capped my non-ops gear and got one comp's influence to 36 to offset the nerf. Thought the patch was still on the horizon.

    SWTOR

    Don't think you can solo queue for ops at all, only for regular dungeons. And not even all of regular dungeons; there's some mid 20's ones and I think early 30s that don't have a solo mode yet, like Athiss. They basically made all the ops level 65, though you can join some at level 60 I...

    Sierra Nevada "Torpedo" is solid. As is Stone Brewery's "Delicious IPA" and "Go To IPA", though they might be a little more difficult to find. But Sierra Nevada should be basically everywhere at this point.

    2 games behind the division leader, one behind both runner ups. I mean, it isn't likely at all really. But mathematically it's still entirely possible, especially with how terrible the division is. As a fan though, I would prefer they take it super safe for the rest of the season, rest Dez...

    Patterns. As you get older, especially from sub-10 youth forward, you tend to notice and appreciate patterns more. Punch Out is literally a game of pattern recognition, and it makes complete sense that you would be better at that type of game as an adult.

    Honestly, the omnivocational stuff is basically just saying "cool, you did this, here's your hat" type stuff. Nobody who is killing old bosses is running a Monk with a sword. They are all using Gladiators and Falcon Blades. The omin-stuff is more just about making leveling other classes for...

    DQ VI and V are pretty dope, and you can't really go wrong with them. Totally different paradigms, but very good regardless. I'd say 8 is my overall favorite, with VI and VI being a close second, followed by II. None of them are bad, but there are some clear standouts in my opinion. IX is...

    SWTOR

    The current content may have capped, but they are planning more chapters and the higher influence ranks will probably be required to unlock more stuff as they release content. Grinding it out now simply saves you from having to grind it out later, as any time there's a cap on influence you can...

    It's pretty addictive, especially with the way you "craft" better gear for your team mates, and getting those chains (and mastery books) to up the droprate on specific mobs etc. Easily one of the best SE games to come out last generation.

    Since I want to get hopping on this relatively quickly, I think I'll stick with Eclipse (apparently Mars is the current version) for C. Bonus points that it also handles C++ and Java with minimal addons, so hey. The text I have might be a bit dated, but I can't imagine they've done too much...

    In that first round, Rousey tried to bull her way through punches a few times, and thought she would get something by swinging wildly. Her takedown attempt wasn't super amazing, and she instead kept chasing and trying to land sloppy ass punches. If/when the rematch happens (implying she...

    I wouldn't say sand-bag, but she didn't press either previous fight nearly as much as she pressed Rousey. They literally look like different fighters. Now, whether that's due to it being a championship fight and adrenaline or something else, I have no idea. But stylistically the Rousey fight...

    [Manga] One Piece - Spoilers up to the most recent Chapter.

    Part of the reason I shelved this. I was enjoying it, but it started to meander terribly and characters I didn't give a shit about kept getting introduced. It wasn't -nearly- as bad as Bleach, but like a month into Desserosa I decided that I just wasn't as attached. Had the manga effectively...

    Thanks, brohamuels. Interesting that there's no dyed in the wool "best" to learn first, which makes my choice easy to narrow back down to Java and C. I think I'll start with C then, since I remember it being interesting and super syntax heavy, so good practice. Next newb question! Is...

    Note about bows/magic: Lock on and cast your spells if you are using sorceries/shooting your bows. You don't have to be in snipe mode to use the bow, it just helps with hitting targets that are further than lock on range (usually to exploit the fact that there's a maximum aggro distance and...
