    Arrow

    I'm glad they moved on. The tension between the team members is yawn worthy. I hope the gravestone is Laurel. She contributes nothing to the show and never has. Diggle needs a new helmet. Going from Deathstroke to Raz and then to Damian is a step down, but Neal McDonough is a great actor so...

    Maybe I should have actually looked at the stretch goals before talking out my ass then?

    I don't remember a stretch goal called, "Pay a bunch of money for big name actors."

    Yes you do. I've seen.. things... you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched fireballs eminate in the dark near the Tannh?user Gate... All those... moments... will be lost, in time, like... tears in rain. The biggest problem I had was the camera shake...

    Sure, it might slip. They're trying to mass produce a new product that is full of brand new parts. I doubt it'll slip beyond Q2 though. And as we approach the CV1 release the value, support and available experiences for the DK2 will probably continue to diminish because no one will want to...

    Virtual Reality

    Bottom line: Like I said before, if you want to get in on VR as a user, just wait for CV1. Right now the user experience is subpar because the SDK is constantly changing, so you can't easily run through all the historical demoes and games that folks are playing.

    Virtual Reality

    There's primarily three things that cause VR sickness (not motion sickness!!): technical errors, design issues and a disconnect between what you see and what you feel. The technical errors are numerous and VR experiences getting even one of the following elements wrong are enough to turn...

    Fallout 4

    I couldn't care less about what they say for the specs for Bethesda games, because it's going to be dominated by mods. The big takeaway? You're going to need a lot more VRAM than other games because of A: ULTRA HIGH textures from amateur/undergrad artists who don't care how your game...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I declare Hodj the winner due to a_skeleton_03 not even attempting to find fraud at this scale. He could've at least tried to dig up some climate nonsense. Let's move on to Parkinson's Spoons. Is this risk of shaky obese people too high to allow this technology to proliferate?

    If either of you had any idea of what you were talking about, could make a coherent argument and have confidence in your argument you wouldve been able to state your case and win in a single post instead of jerking each other off over several pages. Either way the floor is open to closing...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Only took one post to back off from the absurd notion that "The only role of a tester is to emulate the customer". I don't know what to say to that other than you probably don't even believe that statement or think of testing in such meaningless terms that any use of the product is emulating the...

    I agree with Skanda on #1. Regarding motion sickness, it's not a binary thing like driving, boating or even roller coasters where someone 'gets sick when I sit in a car and read', it's a continuous spectrum of sickness that depends on what you're doing in the game and whether everything is...

    Agree 100%. I think the hard part of high damage ballistics is making a hard game without players getting instantly gibbed.

    Re: Vats, one thing that Project NEVADA did was make it so you could engage bullet time at the cost of whatever the VATS resource was. You could also sprint using that resource. So it was essentially a mana bar. The bullet time worked like in Max Payne, and gave you the advantages of VATS...

    Yep. A big dreamer gets 100 million dollars and no bean counters are above him to whip his ass. The other, more insidious part to that is that unless this thing gets widespread adoption far beyond the 1 million backers it has now, it's possible they are making more money than they will...

    CiG will enter a lawsuit against the Escapist, buy/sell? I'd say sell. Their lawyers will probably tell them any resolution will happen long after the game is supposed to be released. The only upside would be the immediate PR boost of, "CiG is so confident in SC that they're opening their...

    Even if SC is amazing there is going to be a ton of salt over the amount of money spent on unused ships.

    Thank you for the information. Of those examples you listed, were they unknown journalists with no reputation who built their reputation by publishing anonymous sources in the same shady way the Escapist did? And even if they did, how much other bullshit was published the same way that was...

    Yeah. The response of, "Would you want your grandma looking through your bank records? No? Then our donators shouldn't be able to see how much money we have." is pretty inappropriate.

    I wouldn't hope for much more than being able to see a bunch of cool, undiscovered worlds that no one has seen and if you cut through far enough it's very possibly no one will ever see again.

    It's a lose/lose for them. If they disclose that they are running out of funds people will think the payoff of a real game release is in jeopardy and be hesitant to dump money in it. If they disclose that they are sitting on mountains of cash people won't have the extra motivation of helping the...

    No Man's Sky

    I think it's an idea they had that appeals to people's hopes for a space exploration meta verse (Like Quaid's favorite game, Star Citizen). But the developers never set out to do that, they just wanted a procedurally generated universe.

    Yes, the one source that they've leaked out enough information to be proven wrong on is bad. That makes them 0/1 and they have the ability to confirm at least two of the other ones. At this point I think you want to believe the Escapist as much as whales want to believe Chris Roberts. I know...

    The author confirmed via twitter it was those generic HID cards:Liz O Which means the only confirmation on their anonymous sources the Escapist has provided has turned out to be false or misunderstood by the Escapist. This should give you pause to take the Escapist at their word for whatever...
