    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Yes. I played CStrike competitively and a few other FPS games. But twitch skill is all about practice (more so than MMOs). The muscle memory, coordination and perception has a lot to do with natural talent, but needs an immense amount of time to practice. The ability to see animations, predict...

    Witcher 3

    I didn't read the books, so maybe you could enlighten me. To me it seems like Geralt spends 90% of his time fighting monsters across the land and 10% of his time doing the shit we did in Witcher1/2. Is that not true?

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Oh and another interesting possibility that I feel would give the series some good scifi credibility is if they discovered an entire galactic civilization in the milky way that was not only larger than the Leviathan/repear-based one, but was completely unaware of that civilization. If you...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    And I wouldn't be too quick to judge Gavin on being surprised that they breached inter-galactic space. The divide between galaxies has been a strong assumption in the Mass Effect universe. The big theme in ME is that a sentient species will increase its technological advancement until it gets...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Not sure what you mean, the events after ME3 are spelled out in enough detail for a reasonable person. Especially in the control/synthesis endings the species involved do just fine. As for the idea of going to a new galaxy.... I guess I like it. I really don't want to step foot on the citadel...

    Witcher 3

    The funny thing about the Witcher is that it lends itself very well to sandbox games because of how open the 'monster killer' theme is. The main storylines in the witcher games where Geralt is fighting some political war, or coming into contact with the Wild Hunt always seemed like exceptions to...

    I'm not sure if the contest is different, but the strat in sport fishing is to hit the "big reel" ability just before the fish's debuff pops up. That way you're guaranteed to get the maximum amount of damage with each big reel. And to also be ready to switch to reel if necessary. Other than that...

    Witcher 3

    I agree 100%. In Morrowind if you knew where to go you could get geared from a low level. Why is this a bad thing? If a level 1 player spends 1000 arrows killing a badass cockatrice and his beak drops as a weapon, it better be badass whether the player is 1 or overleveled. I feel like...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    No idea. The 'proper' way to do it IMO is the way the Quake2 and HL2 mods did it. You could change your camera viewport with your head, and your cursor freely floated in your screen unless you dragged it to the edge. With a device like this, it makes sense to make your character rotate with...

    I'd say that it's worth some $200. As in, it'd be worth doing if someone paid you $200 to do it.

    Yeah the XML part doesn't make sense. It's like he thinks, "Json is for web, xml is for server side". I'm not aware of a compelling reason to convert json to xml unless you're doing so for compatibility. I've never used it but I'm sure: Json.NET - Newtonsoft isn't worse than Visual Studio's...

    40 Superhero Movies in the Next 6 Years/Superhero Movie Bubble?

    I think the quantity of superhero movies won't be a problem. But I feel like it's already getting a little formulaic and exhausted. I can't be the only one that doesn't want to see a origins sequence for the top 10 superheros (the batman/superman/spiderman/ironman/wolverines) ever again...

    Have they ever answered why they don't use a parachute and use their rockets for re-entry? I flew a few hobbyists rockets as a kid and they had parachutes, so I'm an expert on the matter.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's a realistic build, and true to the fiction. They're slave hoplites with no testicles. They never have enough of a caloric surplus to get swole and don't produce enough testosterone to build muscle easily.

    I don't understand the feasability of it either. It seems like the additional weight from re-entry rockets necessary to control the landing is so much more limiting than wings, parachutes etc. I finally watched Interstellar last night. The

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    My guess: He starts off being closely tied to Stark's original creation. Calculating, snarky, thoughtful. As he upgrades himself he loses the humanity Stark created and devolves into more of a psychotic killing machine. His voice is an allegory of that. This continues until his final form where...

    Duke Nukem Forever isn't a good comparison because by the time it came out people had already moved on. And DNF was never as close to release or publication as SC is now.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    The problem wasn't showing Hulk being able to slam a lightpole through Ironman's armor, the problem was them showing Ironman shrug off a tank shell. That's the kind of 'feat' that you really have to ignore for any kind of power continuity. With Ironman especially, being so mortal, you really...
