    Yeah you could either view it like you're a bystander watching them, or could view it like they are miniature figures fighting on a table in front of you. One thing that kind of puts a hamper on it is that fighting games are so competitive and the visuals are incredibly important, if your...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Not that I'm some kind of true EMDrive believer, but their argument isn't that "This violates conservation of momentum and here is why we think it does.", it's "This does NOT violate conservation of momentum and here is how.". Meanwhile, a lot of reputable physicists look at their explanation...

    Battlestar Galactica

    So I started watching this over the weekend at the suggestion of several people, one of whom says that BSG is the greatest TV show he's ever seen. I just finished the first season and the first episode of the second season. I enjoy the setting and the premise and like the characters that...

    Age of Conan

    PvP wise it wasn't anything special. At least not on launch. I had a lot of fun playing this competitively at launch, being one of the first max-level folks on uhm, Deathwhisper? and I liked that there was literally one zone you could level quickly to cap, bringing a lot of fun PvP for a...

    Did they say anywhere what kind of force these things generate? If you want to read about some of the cool,possibleadvances in space thrust technology, here's some of that emdrive bullshit: Some retired physicist (or something) set up a gofundme and is showing off their progress on their...

    Also we're doing well with scolding the kid when he blows raspberries when eating his food. He gets a little confused still but realizes he's being disciplined and cries a bit, and his behavior has improved.

    Re: Screen time, my plan is to measure the kid's success in whatever game they're playing and tie their 'screen time' to that to give them more time if they don't suck. Like arcade games where you have to put in more money when you die, or racing games where you extend your time if you hit a...

    Ok. Let me propose a ruleset then, post your modifications and we'll vote later. 1. All quest (subquest, companion, main quest etc) must be in a spoiler without exception. 2. All character build, combat etc. discussion can be outside a spoiler unless it impacts #1. (Ex: How do you kill...

    Knowing that reviewers are exploring New Boston or whatever has really kicked my anticipation into overdrive. I feel like I'm falling behind in an MMO sense and I'm going to roll my character and get PK'd by some asshole from Gamespot.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    They really have red/white outs in this game? That's annoying. One fear I have for this game is that when broader user-testing occurs and people say things like, "Having to spend 5 docking to your stupid space station to cycle my quests sucks.", Chris Roberts will have such an attachment to...

    I agree. It'd suck if they did it like Amalur though, and made say, South Boston an area that rubberbands to 5-35, but you get within spitting distance of it at level 8 but don't start exploring it until level 30 and it's permanently locked at level 8.

    lol I forgot about that. I have to imagine that they won't lock the levels to anything.

    Fallout 4

    Oblivion was the most egregious level-scaling system. Skyrim and FO3 were better but not far enough IMO. If mobs hit a level cap pretty quickly and players don't hit a soft-level cap (Ex: where hitting level 42 requires as much experience as levelling from 1-41), intelligence could play a...

    I'm still not sure what you mean. The Rift is intended as a seated experience so external walking is a bit unsupported (but still possible, and lots of people will use stuff likehttp://www.virtuix.com/thingto do it. The HTC VIVE however is targeting a small room size walking experience, but...

    I understand it's all subjective and my comment was tongue in cheek, but the way I see it if there was a pre-apoc game where you had the same set of choices (House vs a set of non-house choices where you disabled House), Vegas wouldn't have survived the nuclear war because House wouldn't have...

    This might be old news to everyone but I just learned about it. Star Citizen has a pretty sweet community driven bug tracking system: Issue Council The community can claim to reproduce / not reproduce the issue and ostensibly this will bring issues to the forefront. I can see this...

    I haven't beaten Witcher3 but it already had a pretty devastating end to one of the sub plots. I haven't looked up to see if you can get a happily ever after yet to it, but I hope you can. Fortunately in every Bethesda game ever there never really was a big fork you could choose without...

    Nehrim: At Fate's Edge mod for Oblivion - Mod DBalso showed how much fun an Elder Scrolls game can be without scaled mobs too. And with experience. And without fast travel.

    I know people who also say the same thing about not wanting to play because there's too many directions you can go. For me that's the #1 thing I like about Bethesda games. I kind of wish they had less level scaling and some obvious way to tell the player what the level ranges are because that...

    It's interesting that part time salespeople don't get commission but full timers do. Makes it a conflict of interest for anyone tied to the profitability of the store but still trying to maintain the "part timers are there to help if the full timers are busy" guideline. It's easy for people...

    Ah ok. Any news on preorders is a big deal to me. I know OVR is trying to have mass produced head sets to meet demand, but it's very possible that not being in on the first hour of pre-ordering might delay delivery for weeks. That depends on how much marketing they do before opening up pre-orders.
