Gaming / Fallout 4 gameplay trailer - the start of the game« on: July 18, 2015, 02:05:04 PM »
Alrighty folks, here's a "new" trailer for Fallout 4. It's the uncut version of the early gameplay mashed together for the E3 trailer. Looks pretty good, and the weapons seem to behave much differently than 3 and NV. The power armor looks incredible, and Deathclaws look like they've been on steroids.

It was actually pretty good. First half an hour was pretty rough, but it was kind of necessary so they could just do non-stop antics after that. Paul Rudd is hilarious, as usual.

Serious / Re: Anders Breivik to study Oslo classes from his jail cell« on: July 18, 2015, 10:58:03 AM »Is there really any point to providing him with these resources? He's not going to reform or anything. Self-actualization is at the top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. What is the functional difference between locking someone in an empty cell for the rest of their life, and killing them? I'd say in that case that execution is a far more humane option. 5170

I can't think of a much better way to reform criminals than through education and allowing them to pursue constructive personal goals. Granted he's in there for life, but if they're just going to hold him there with no entertainment or education, they might as well just kill him.

The Flood / Re: Fucking Naruto logic...« on: July 17, 2015, 05:24:50 PM »I have been thinking of finishing FMA, I am on episode 30 and I don't really want to switch to brotherhood until I finish the first anime. So I am guessing it is worth while (If it is not already clear I don't want anime except this one show).Why I trudged through like 150 episodes of that shit is beyond me. Brotherhood is great, and it won't be too hard to switch since it's the same characters, art style, voice actors, and general plot. 5173

Force Unleashed 2. It was such a cool concept of having a stupidly overpowered Jedi rampaging around, combining various force powers, etc. But they just did nothing with it. Endless hallways of easy enemies that beg to be ragdoll'd off a cliff, boring and unbelievable boss fights, and an annoying pussification of established characters (like Vader).

I used to think that, but there are more than a few series that aren't terrible voice actors doing nonsensical shit with terrible animation. Fullmetal Alchemist Baccano!

The episodes are like 15 minutes long and I usually would put it up in a different window while doing other stuff like homework. My girlfriend at the time really liked it, and it was pretty popular. 150 is probably an exaggeration, and it was kind of fun, but it really is just a terrible show. 5177

My wife likes Nintendo games like Mario and Zelda, but is absolute shit at FPS games (or really anything not Nintendo). She just can't synchronize her thumbs to look and move at the same time. She'll move in a cardinal direction, then look sharply, then move, etc.
She likes watching me play, instead. Which is super weird to me. I can't stand watching someone else play a game. 5180

Serious / Re: A robot just passed the self-awareness test« on: July 16, 2015, 04:45:06 PM »That's really not impressive. A regular cell phone is capable of recognizing thousands of signals directed to and from its frequency. And it's a bit odd that this self awareness test requires it to recognize its own 'voice'...if it was self aware (and I'm using this phrase very loosely), it would have just recognised that it spoke. But that would also be incredibly easy to program.You could write a java program to do this in like 5 minutes. This is just another example of programs designed to replicate what a self-aware response would be.I think the point is that the robots (or at least one of them) were capable of discerning whether a particular input was self-created. All in all this basically just means he made a program that is written to appear like it's aware, when in reality it's just responding to a really small set of inputs. 5186

It looks pretty fun. Not classic Halo, but that's not what it's trying to be. The video might be more enjoyable if the guy playing didn't suck. I'm also still not sold on the new weapon sound effects.

Gaming / Re: "Star Wars Battlefront Won't Have PC Split-Screen or Pilotable Y-Wings"« on: July 15, 2015, 11:50:42 AM »Maybe the reason why people are mad about it is simply because it's another piece of content that's being removed. A game from 2004 or 5 has more content than this game which is just sad.Also going to add in that the AT-AT was only on two maps ever, both of which were corridor maps so you would realistically only be moving in one direction anyway. I don't understand why you're saying the content is being removed. It was never in this game. And it's perectly fine to not include extraneous stuff like an AT-AT. I'm still disappointed in the lack of game modes, but this seems like just a dumb thing to get upset about. 5190

And if the AT-AT even made it to the other side, the Empire probably already had the CPs taken so there were no enemies there. I dunno why people talk it up like it was the best feature in the game. |
