Gaming / Re: Prometheans (Halo) vs A Space Marine
« on: February 01, 2015, 08:57:23 AM »
Prometheans were badass mother fuckers.

No idea why they named the spooky skull robots after them.

The first beings composed were Forerunner Warrior-Servants- who willingly sacrficed biological form to assist the Didact. Hence, why Prometheans- it was only when the Didact needed more that he began composing humans, unwillingly.

the didact even wished to have been oen himself, but notes that he has a resistance to the flood after experimenting on himself to find a cure for the flood.
Also as far as I can remember Master Chief mostly (maybe only?) fought human prometheans in H4 as it is visible by their digital human skull when they scream.

I wonder if there's a clear difference between human prometheans and promethean prometheans. Are the latter actually seen in-game?

Gaming / Re: If TLOU isn't one of the best games of all time...
« on: February 01, 2015, 08:30:26 AM »
I like when people say the gameplay isn't unique so that's why they don't like it


Unless you're playing fucking octodad no games gameplay is unique

Literally my only complaint about the game is the fact that Ellie could fucking stitch up Joel when he was impaled.

My biggest complaint is what they showed at E3 vs. what we got. The AI shown prior to release was phenomenal, the one featured in the game reminds me of Hodor on LSD.
If the comment I read is right in the E3 video you get ammo by emptying the rounds from the gun instead of just picking it up. That would have been great for a survival based game.

Not only that, but the AI flanked you, hid from you, realised when your magazine was empty and charged you accordingly.

YouTube


Watch from 3:25 onward. Look how the enemy AI sneaks up on you. Just something to think about.

Apparently, TLOU's AI was entirely scrapped a few months before release, but what are you gunna do.
And this is what we have now.

Funny, ain't it?

For some reason it's funnier when an intelligent old man says things like this.
I thinks it's because of the way he pronounces it.

It creates a contrast between the niveau of his articulation and the (lack of) niveau of the comments he received.
Explain to me how you're using this word 'niveau' here... I looked it up but I don't quite understand. I want to learn.
If you want to know the meaning of (how I understand) it; It may be used to describe the proficiency of someone in a certain activity.[also meaning: level, standard]

E.g.: Marc has a higher niveau in english writing than Peter, because he uses complex but accurate sentence structures and formal grammar (while Peter lacks in this regard.)
In the case of Dawkins; his speech is on a high niveau because he doesn't swallow vowels and because of his emphasised pronunciation.

If you were asking yourself why I used it instead of another word:
I've just been hearing and using it in this and similar contexts, so I've not really been thinking about why I used it in this particular instance.

So... I'd say I used it just because it's part of my vocabulary - and sounds better than 'level'.
I just wanted to know how you were using it. Is that a common or correct way?
Since I've been taught it that way, I'd dare to say yes.

It looks like it has been taking steroids but the steroids were actually some car affecting mutagens.

If you haven't played it yet you should try out BlazBlue.
Even though it has a ridiculous learning curve...

First five minutes are mirror matches so you can skip them if you want. And yes, I know that the voice in the backgorund is annoying.
I already have that game, look at my first post in this thread.
Ah. In this case you should give Mortal Kombat a try.

Why is not in my steam library?
I wanna play it
It's a closed beta so I'm assuming they randomly selected some people.
Why they couldn't just have randomly selected me is beyond me.
