I'm likely the only person here that still plays this, but holy shit I need that sniper rifle. Team Fortress 2 - Love & War

Team Fortress 2 forever.

Hold out for self-driving cars imo.

Where do people on these forums see VR going on a conceptual level? I've readReady Player One, but I honestly hope the technology doesn't move in that limited of a direction. If the range of experiences available to VR are restricted to the device's native gameplay, Imma be pissed.

Speaking of the self-taught route, I'm going into game producing and want to be able to communicate with my programmers on their level (to an extent). For that I found this:http://cs50.tv/2013/fall/ Anyone wanting to get a basic level understanding might try that out. It's the intro CS...

Decided to play the OB with my wife. First impression upon logging on is that visually, everything is a mess. Not that I don't like the art style or anything, it's that the UI splattered haphazardly over my screen combined with an itsy-bitsy font and crowded-thus homogenized-graphic models are...

I can't even pick out anything that might have sounded like a G or an R.

Obviously there are Germans on these forums that can speak for themselves, but I've been told that in general the people of Germany feel deep, deep shame over the holocaust. Ann frankly, I would play revisionist history too if my country was synonymous with the worst collective act in human...

I read this show's synopsis to my wife, then we laughed and didn't watch it ever.

I loved the books, all the way to the end of the series, but at least the first 4 movies were terrible and Rowling is starting to go full George Lucas rage-mode sellout. I also hate authors that try to retcon their published work.

Supposedly people playing the crystal cove prototype were able to wear it for hours at a time. According to them, motion sickness was almost entirely caused by latency.

One of my least favorite companies buying one of my favorite companies. I feel like Oculus Rift was just ruined a little for me. Even if facebook doesn't interfere in the product's direction, simply by buying a unit I'll have at long last 'bought into facebook'.

I can't recommend science fiction short stories enough. The two compilations I've read are The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction and The Science Fiction Century.

Ha, so much for Egypt or Japan. Spoilered that since it's the first comment, if people want to get it from the trailer rather than me initially.

Roku and torrent MMA fights.

Mage is good and bad. Getting mage-specific equipment is pointless because it's all about PP regen, and after getting the right perk or 2 you regen like crazy anyway. As a result my character was a little class-confused as I just stacked armor and +healing and heal-on-hit effects. At some...

Just beat it. On PC so I don't have achievements, but I have gotten everything and done every quest with the exception of obtaining every piece of equipment. Was a fantastic game, and for the record, I didn't encounter a single bug.

That fight wasn't too hard for me just because I had the broken bottle (5 random target hits that cause bleed) paired with an augment that heals me for 25 health per hit on bleeding targets paired with the +2pp per heal perk. Besides that though, the trick to pretty much any boss is to keep...

IPT's probably the next demonoid anyway. Anyone have an invite to a comparable site?

My last 2 weeks: The Sorrow of War by Bao Ninh: Was good simply as a perspective from northern Vietnam during the war, but is overrated for that same reason. The Professor's House by Willa Cather: Actually very good. Challenges the conception that marriage, family, and career are all...

On a sidenote, I had to laugh at the ABC Oscars streaming requirements last night which included Google Fiber subscribers, but not in any city Google Fiber exists.

Maybe it's a woman thing. Gravity was my #2, but my wife strongly disliked it as well.

Well, it was always going to winsomething,but only by merit of the fact that it was made by big people (Spike Jonze/Joaquin Phoenix) specifically for the award season and because these award ceremonies evenly distribute prizes amongst the egos.

Her was the best movie this year. I'm not watching (lol ABC streaming requirements), but I don't need to cause it won't win shit. Drugs, AIDS and black people are so played out.

^ Keep in mind that I think you have to manually update Plex Media Server (the program on your media-hosting computer, not the web service side). Before I downloaded 0.9.9.5 I believe I was still at the version I initially started using it at (0.9.8.18 or something)

Maybe this is just because I live in Utah, which has an enormous market of fiber competition to Comcast, but I actually see the problem of these monopolies figuring themselves out eventually. If nothing else the technology for distributing/receiving the web will eventually bypass the...

Our 10 month old puppy, named Roy. Attachment 61678

Maybe someone in this thread can help me with a problem I'm having. I replaced my old Samsung DLP with a Samsung plasma recently and set up the DLP in my bedroom. Since then I've added a Plex and a Chromecast as my primary devices, using the DLP's HDMI ports for the first time since I got it...

I don't think they're doing a dev kit x2, at least not from what I've been reading lately. The crystal cove prototype that they recently showed is supposed to be near consumer-ready. Current rumors have it coming out this summer, although christmas season seems more likely. Can't come soon...

I beat Witcher 2 just now, actually. Going through all of the major RPG's I missed over the last 5 years or so. Was an incredible game, but very difficult for my completionist gamer sensibilities to handle. It's almost painful for me to make a decision between content at the cost of the...

It had multiple 0's, 1's, 2's and 3's, so it's not like she was a statistical anomoly. And she was basically dropping it from 2 inches above the surface without any horizontal movement like a retard. If she kept getting 1's, it's because she kept essentially setting it down on a 1.

Pretty much given up on streaming. IPT is on top of things so far, watching the slopestyle finals with Canadian commentary at the moment.

Any suggestions for online streaming of events? Apparently NBC is requiring you to be a TV subscriber to watch their streams, which is... laughable. I'll go to the BBC if I have to, but I'd just as soon have U.S. event coverage focus.

Some of that stuff is legitimate history of the period (homosexed up a bunch, granted). One of my biggest issues was just how every character was a slightly varied extreme of gaping bitchness. And you're right, the writing in this show is terrible. That said, Spartacus was really bad for the...

a joy that chinese people will never understand

Compared to other premium channel shows, this was pretty terrible. Some pretty shots of the west indies and the typical Starz avalanche of tits, but no other redeeming qualities. Roughly as good as Cutthroat Island.

Plex support for the chromecast is having some issues at the moment. Basically, Plex is having trouble transcoding AC3 audio to the CC, so shit stutters and freezes all over the place. Frustrating the hell out of me, since just about anything torrented in 720 or up is an mkv with AC3.

Watched Her, Wolf of Wallstreet, and Dallas Buyers Club over this last week. Her blew my mind, Wolf of Wallstreet was alright, and Dallas Buyers Club put me to sleep. Pretty shit movie. Matthew McConaughey sucked his character straight out of Christian Bale's cock.

What are opinions on repeating content, in terms of the storyline? I know it pisses me off when I have to sit through an un-skippable cutscene if I happen to die in the boss fight directly following it. For that matter, replaying any content at all causes a large disconnect in the story for...

Thanks, I'll try those out. And I agree with you. I think video game narrative is still in its infancy. I also agree with most everyone that says that gameplay is more critical to a game than the story, however, my hope is that that preference is an impression formed by years of gaming...
