    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...

    Haha sorry =\ It's not that I think you or anyone is a retard for treating precision due to bit size intuitively (double your bits, double your precision), it's just that as a programmer I'm baffled that gamers are so focused on such a technical discussion. Nobody knows the details of how...

    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.

    Not gonna lie, my second thought was, "Man I used to look so much more fit." These days I'd probably have a heart attack trying to shovel my entire yard into a snow pile.

    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...

    Virtual Reality

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...
