Also was I the only person who caught that Flash's fake name was possibly a play on ??

Re: Freezing the lazers: Visible laser detection schemes rely on super heating thin columns of space over some short distance (2 meters) to create a security barrier that is more secure than traditional methods. Because they are heat based they can't just be tricked with mirrors or other...

Because of exponential growth. The C++ standard is FLT_MAX: 3.40282347E+38F DBL_MAX: 1.7976931348623157E+308 The GNU C Library: IEEE Floating Point float is usually considered a 32bit floating point number, double is a 64bit floating point number. To give you some perspective, 1e2...

Where did you hear that CV1 preorders start soon? Here's the current price for DK2s. I wonder if that's for new ones? I wonderh ow much old ones are worth... rift dk2 - Price trend - bidvoy

Sylas ended the 64bit derail. It's done. New article: Development Update: Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 & Star Marine - Roberts Space Industries

Why get a physical copy?

The movie would look like shit and cost a ton more without CGI.

Did you see the real one?

and vorpX 0.9 is out vorpX 0.9 Available - vorpX - VR 3D-Driver for Oculus Rift allegedly has really good Skyrim performance with the OVR 0.8 SDK.

Draegan, a_skeleton_03, Hodj, stop shitting in this thread. Variise, PopsicleDeath, enough with the 64bit nonsense. Someone made a jump map.

Forcing people to use steam has the upside of making it easier for casual gamers to get patches and also be exposed to steamworks. Both are huge wins for Bethesda games that are released in an unfinished state.

It's a lot harder than you'd think to shill a game like Star Citizen and A: Not piss off the person paying you, B: Not look like a shill. When Chris Roberts makes a press release, his words are marketing speak and loaded with bias. And that's okay because that's what it is. But if someone...

The truth is that a large minority of posters are secluded to a narrow subset of threads over a given period of time. Posters who post in more than 1 forum in a given week aren't universal. And it's not a bad thing if someone only posts in one thread unless that person has ulterior motives...

Speaking of which 0.8 was released today. Developers ??" Build The Future | Oculus It has major API changes, but they say that 0.7 and 0.6 applications will work with it.

Yep. Right now VR support is enabled by Skyrim and other games through a 3rd party application (VorpX or Vireio). Because OVR keeps changing their SDK API (and rightfully so) it hurts groups like that trying to wrap their SDK. Once OVR settles on an API definition and stabilizes their SDK groups...

Prepare to be jealous when I'm enjoying FO4 while you're sitting here just... waiting...

Variise is the Blackwulf of this thread and that's okay. At least he's the fanboy for SC and not ESO. Blackwulf ended up finally turning his back on ESO after release, but I think SC will pull off a good game so Variise is safe from that!

I agree with cybsled with the only caveat being that if you are put off by bugs and/or don't care about playing the latest games (and talking about them in this thread or other communities) stay away from FO4, it will likely be a buggy mess.

NV is superior in some ways and inferior in others. My recommendation? Play neither and wait a couple weeks to play FO4 with the rest of us.

Fallout 4: Perk Chart - Orcz.com, The Video Games Wiki It's incomplete and I don't trust them when they say it's confirmed.

Why gold? Why not copper? And if you're getting copper, why take it raw from the earth like a caveman? The real panning is urban panning where you go to abandoned (or temporarily abandoned, 5 minutes of abandonment is enough in Ricky's book) buildings and pull copper pipes and cables from the...

lol @ $60 for a knockoff, wired controller built for an FPS. The other big source of possible consternation is when I'm one of the ~3% of people whose system is somehow incompatible with the game until they release a patch two weeks post-release. Unlikely to happen though, my hardware is...

Prepare yourself for the rage I will unleash on this thread when my quests break like they did in NV. Everything else from performance issues, combat mechanics and crashes I will be fine with.

See to me the goal shouldn't be to provide meaningful penalties that would turn the game into some kind of hard mode, but would instead provide overcomeable penalties that make a playthrough more flavorful and interesting.

I don't mind the skill point change. The Fallout skill point system was not clever or interesting for a gameplay perspective and after so much time in FO3 I'm glad to leave it. The only gap it creates for me is the lack of skill books in the world providing the player a gameplay-impacting...

It would be funny though, if having zero in the following stats caused: S: gimp walk P: literally deaf E: perm rad sickness C: 10% of non-critical NPCs refuse to talk to you I: Retarded speech (via automatic word replacement) A: no VATs L: Possibility of critical failures

Besides that, you don't know how Endurance works (So you don't know if you should get 10END before leveling) how intelligence really works (It can't just be an XP multiplier right?) or how constraining the level is. You don't know if having sub 3 int/cha will make you a blubbering moron for the...

Optimal builds are impossible to make right now because we don't know what the perk trees are and one unknown perk with a high SPECIAL requirement in something unexpected will obliterate any well thought out build. And BGS makes nearly no attempt to balance their end-game. Fallout 4: Perk...

Would be crazy to live on a dyson sphere that is some 10 lunar distances away from the surface of the sun (or whatever you'd need to be away from the sun geysers). Especially crazy if the dyson sphere was made of some translucent material that filtered everything from the sun except for some 1%...

get ready for some bullshit! Next Big Future: Positron Dynamics plans to fly an antimatter powered cubsat by 2019

That probably depends on how hard it is to produce solar panels out of asteroid fields and shit-tier planets and how easy inter-stellar travel is. One could imagine a species living around a dying star who have great solar-system travel capability but very poor interstellar travel...

It seems like if you could solve the energy transfer problem to move the energy from the sun to a planetary body / fleet of space ships (Batteries? using energy to make a super gasoline? a huge cable? wireless transfer of energy?) putting a bunch of solar panels very close to the sun would be...

Dumb question about Dyson spheres, don't asteroid fields have huge asteroids with nuclear materials like uranium and thorium in them? Aren't these a very rich source of energy? I've always thought of Dyson spheres as being more of a neat scifi-style theory than a real culmination of a species.

WHO IS READY TO PUKE?!

It's depressing that a lawyer will say that CPS should be treated like crooked cops. Good people like chaos and a_skeleton_03 (or me, if I were in their shoes I'd do the same thing probably) stonewalling CPS makes it easier for bad people to stonewall CPS, which hides real child abuse.

I have been thinking about what to do to celebrate, because getting off work and telling my family to leave me alone isn't enough. For competitive MMO releases I get on a strict diet of easily digestable food so I can not sleep for several days at a time and my digestion system shuts down...
