    Don't need to let it run. It pops up even if you X/A skip the credits.

    Super Meat Boy is a two button, one d-pad game. A NES controller would be better for that game than the 360.

    Isn't Forbes online basically a blog portal where anyone can write whatever they want? I see links to terrible, uninformed articles from contributors over there all the time.

    SteamOS

    Exactly - they're making a new controller that is meant to be an alternative to both gamepads and M/K, but will of course be inferior to gamepads for gamepad games, and inferior to M/K for M/K games. Game developers (except indies and themselves) have no incentive to develop with the Steam...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    That whole thing is nice, but sort of pointless. If you want the big bucks from the stock manipulation, you need to finish the final heist first. At that point there's really not a whole lot to do except buy up all the property, mod all your cars to the max and then turn off the console. I...

    Video and TV have a set number of frames recorded. Imagine an old film reel, or open up a video file in a video editor. If your TV is going to show more frames than that, it has to "guess" what those frames are supposed to look like. Ie fake frames. When you're playing a video game, the...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    Holy shit, even Aretha Franklin has to R.E.S.P.E.C.T. that. I haven't had any of that in GTA5. I haven't got a star for breaking a traffic law once, and I don't even think I've got one for hit and run. The game is way more lenient on traffic related crimes. It would have pissed me off otherwise...

    It's pretty weak that Sean can act like a retard and ruin the thread with his sperg rage, but if someone calls him out for maybe being a bit too into video games they get RRP'd.

    Hearthstone

    The fact that the Hearthstone community is apparently categorizing decks according to WoW terms which make absolutely zero sense (burst dps!) instead of TCG terms (aggro decks, weenie decks, low curve decks) indicates that they have no idea what they are talking about.

    Is that really the benefits of a console? I thought the main benefit of a console, which allows devs to optimize the fuck out of the games, was the unified hardware.

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    You get a car which you can load up in the garage. I haven't bothered since I didn't know if it was a one-off, so don't know how good it is. You get a Combat SMG (I think) unlocked + all mods for it for free. You get one free refit of a bunch of parts at LS Customs through the app. I blew...

    If you could read, you would see that I said: I don't give a shit what you buy on launch if you're buying both anyway. I don't even give a shit if you think XBOne is the better console.

    DOTA 2

    This wasn't a balance patch. Note that it doesn't have a version number. It was a Dota 2 bug and feature patch. Fountain hook, SB bash and the other changes which will have balance impact are simply bug fixes / Dota 1 parity fixes. Next balance patch will probably hit Dota 1 first as normal.

    I'm not American, but I was under the impression that you were. My bad. Your whole argument started with saying they should have flooded the market with consoles, since otherwise people will buy the other one. If you're talking about people that will buy two consoles anyway, it doesn't matter...

    They have royally fucked up if you need to wait 2-3 months to get a PS4 in the US. Also, nothing good will be out for the first 2-3 months anyhow, so /care. And lol @ "smart investment". You sound like a legitimate investment guru there, champ.

    I went with the most expensive option on all of them. I figured I can always make a ton of money using cheap crew long term, but I wanted my first one to go smoothly so I knew what a good crew was capable of. The expensive crew members in that heist are almost maxed out in everything and really...

    My Franklin looks like the spitting image of Lenny Kravitz. Low fro and stubble. Which made it all the more funny when I met a certain Stranger who mistook me for a recording artist and said the stuff I had put out lately sucked compared to my earlier stuff.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard for getting one console over the other. "The popular one is all sold out, so I'll take the other one" Never mind the fact that all the launch titles are bad and/or non-exclusive to next gen consoles anyway.

    Oh god I need to try this tonight. Thanks! Pretty much every test except shotguns: Maxing multiplier is the most important part. Get it to 3x ASAP, even if you have to take off-center shots at the first couple of targets. After that, don't lose multiplier. Take your time to aim in the center and...

    Playstation Plus+

    How does it work if you have PS+ but haven't finished a title before it leaves the free service? Does it get deleted even if downloaded, or is it just no longer available for download? Or is that game yours and available for download for all time as long as you were a subscriber while it was free?

    DOTA 2

    The biggest problem with Clinkz is that you can right click a creep, get on a plane, fly to China to buy noodles, fly back, and have dinner ready before his attack animation fires. God, I'm terrible at last hitting with that hero unless I just spam BA.

    It gets better with practice. I think I had 12 retries on the first race, but the last few retries I was consistently outracing them by a ton until I fucked up because I was getting complacent. Use Franklin, and use his special power in hairpin turns. You can go full speed through them and...

    Speaking of FV, I played FV in one of the most epic games of my Dota career last night. I was playing with some friends, one of which was brand new to the game (Axe), and a pretty bad random (Omni). http://dotabuff.com/matches/312626196 I was on my smurf account due to the large MM...

    A doubling of the stock price could easily occur even if all those sales are made at zero net margin. As mentioned, there will be significant positive effects on AMD's competitiveness.

    There's probably not that much money in it for AMD. I'm guessing those GPUs are delivered at or below cost. It's huge for allowing them to maintain scale, though. They have suffered greatly in the PC enthusiast market in recent years, and this will allow them to maintain the scale they need...

    I'm considering cancelling my PS4 as well, since all the launch games suck or are better played on PC (for both consoles, with the possible exception of Forza). There is always a small chance that the launch edition has hardware issues, or that XBone for some reason turns out to be the better...
