    Home buying thread

    Need some home buying opinions from you folks that I can pass on to my retired parents. My parents are retired and are looking at buying a home in a retirement community. Their financial adviser suggests they take out a home loan (15 or 30 year fixed) to buy the house, instead of pull money...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Having fun with botw but as others have said, game loses some big marks from me for: Lack of classic zelda music (needs to be used way more than just Hyrule Castle) No real dungeons (huge letdown) The durability system (its fine for random crap you use as weapons but having the Hylian Shield...

    Vasectomy Inc

    Had my vas today. I'm about 4 hours post surgery and doing ok. Feels kinda like I got kicked in the nuts, but more of the dull pain rather than intense. Took one of the pain meds they gave me just to make this first phase as easy as possible. Hope to have smooth sailing from here on out. Did...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Thoroughly enjoyed Destiny, and still play it daily. Looking forward to the final content update tomorrow for D1, just so I can relive the magic of year 1 with a 400 Fatebringer and Mythoclast (and the buffed up Necrocasm). D2 coming Sept 8 (or 5th in the US if Tuesday releases are still the...

    Vasectomy Inc

    Going in for my procedure in about 10 days. Not looking forward to it, but after 2 kids we're done! Hoping I'm not one of the 'lucky' few with horrible side effects. Worst thing is that I was supposed to go in and have it done yesterday (just in time for March Madness!) but the urologist had...

    That one was the worst? Whew! I've only done about 20 shrines and I stumbled upon that one and spent FOREVER on that stupid ball maze. So glad I don't have dozens more with the same frustrating gimmick.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I guess I'm one of the few as well. I've been sitting on my couch playing Zelda in tv mode every evening with no issues. I'm anywhere from 8-10 feet away.

    Amateur. He needs to use a psvr. I did it and it works really well. Just put the switch hdmi into the back of the psvr processing box where the PS4 cable usually goes. 2d cinematic mode magic

    With all the frame rate talk I was worried Zelda would run like crap with the switch docked, but I honestly haven't even noticed it in about 3 hours of playtime so far.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I should have mentioned it, but I was playing Zelda docked with one joycon in each hand (no grip). I felt like it gave my hands the most room to maneuver but still wasn't natural feeling at all especially the left joycon button placement.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Is there a way to see weapon durability remaining? Also, do bows break? Found a good one early on but dont want to 'waste' it.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Does anyone else hate the joycons as much as I do? Way too small and the button placement, especially on the left joycon, is uncomfortable. In Zelda, trying to swap weapons forces me to adjust my grip to reach the button and then adjust back to comfortably use the stick again. I didn't have...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Well that went well. Walked into Target 5 min after they opened. Scored a Switch and Zelda. Store had 42 total consoles available and there were probably about 15 left in the stack when I got mine. In and out in under 10 min. Looking forward to trying it out tonight after work!

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Damn you Zelda. I have no time to play, and I didn't preorder the Switch after seeing the appalling reveal in January, but I'm going to swing by my local Target when they open tomorrow and see if I can snag a Switch and copy of BotW. I know my odds are slim, but I've got the itch for a good...

    Resident Evil 7

    It does work with non-pro. I have one and enjoy psvr on it ( too chicken to get re7 yet though). Pro is a bit sharper in the texture department with psvr , vs. the original PS4, for vr games that have utilized what the pro offers.

    Resident Evil 7

    I want to get this so badly, but the demo in VR was so intense I didn't even finish it. My horror tolerance is weakening as I get old

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Those of you with CEMU 1.7.0, I'm messing around with it in prep for BotW. Got Mario Kart 8 up and running but when I load a track I can only see the timer, coins and lap counter. The rest of the screen is black. Any idea what I need to adjust?

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Anyone else's launch PS4's sound like an airlplane taking off the entire time FF15 is on? As soon as I start playing my fan sounds like a hair dryer and doesn't quiet down until I close the game. Digital verision, if it matters, and I don't have this issue with other games.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Are the treasure chests the wood plank looking things? I was wondering what those were for. I tried the game once for about 20 min. Got like 15 treasure chests and didn't know what was going on, other than me not dying wave after wave so I quit out of it to keep doing hunts/explore.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    45 min normal mode runs? Nice. That's encouraging. I was thinking it would be 2-3 hours and I just don't have that much time to play all at once anymore.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    What light can you realistically start the raid at? I'm creeping slowly through strikes and am up to 359 now. First time in Destiny I haven't been "raid ready" within 2 weeks of the release. Haven't even tried to get the new Outbreak Prime yet, which is very unlike me. Having a baby around...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    You mean exotic (exotics are yellow, legendary stuff is purple). Lord of wolves is nice. Huge ammo clip/reserve. Functions more like a pulse rifle than a shotgun. Much better range than the stat bar would have you think.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    If I'm understanding what you're saying, you can't infuse your VoG and CE gear up, so keep it for nostalgia or shard it if you don't have vault space. The old raid gear is from year one and therefore can not be infused to higher light. Only the King's Fall gear will be infusable up to year 3.

    They also had Luke Smith (Destiny Dev) jump into the stream and say he'd reveal secrets about the fabled 7th VoG chest if the charity broke $420k. Needless to say, it was a troll pretending to be Luke Smith so no go.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Zhalo is the only elemental primary in year 2, so definitely great to have around. Awesome for arc burns and arc shielded enemies (and it builds your super like Bad Juju as a bonus!)

    So hyped for RoI. Should this thread be merged with the 'Destiny' thread I started a few days ago?

    Thread wasn't super active anymore, but should pick up again when Rise of Iron releases September 20th.   I'll be playing RoI, and still log on a few times a week to do stuff.

    I know it's a longshot, but is anyone familiar with the Gigaset tablet (model QV830 running Android 4.2.2)? My wife got one as a birthday gift from her aunt and it's having sound issues less than a month out of the box. Worked fine and then one day she unplugged her headphones from it after...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Disappointed too that it's PoE and not VoG/CE, but at least it will be relatively painless to run. The challenge of the elders or whatever where it keeps score and you can get 335 drops is only 3 rounds ~5 min per round.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I had that last night too. Extracting some loot and a few npcs engage me. Some dude runs up behind me, kills me in like 1 second since my health was sorta low, and takes all my stuff. I guess going into the dz solo isn't really all that viable, especially during peak playtime hours. After...
