As sandtrap said, don't listen to the radio too long.

I know all of Eden's dialogues, what song plays next and just... all of it off by heart.

Whilst that's all well and good, trust me when I say you do. not. want. butcher. pete. burned. into. your. mind. forever.

That happened to me in NV with Johnny Guitar. Pretty song, but I can't listen to it anymore now.

It sounds like their worst problem is how often they reboot the content. A new planet, a new area on Earth, the fireteam missions, and an actual story would have been worth shelling out an additional $40.

Reminder that there is no reason for a turn-based game to be 60fps outside of preference.
but if the hardware is capable and it costs the same to develop it, why pick 30 over 60?
Because there is absolutely no reason for it. It just doesn't matter in terms of gameplay unless it's a game that requires fast reaction times.

Besides, higher quality content and more content on screen at once > 60fps
But you can have both. you can have better content on your screen at 60fps, so why not?
Not always. Creating anything is a compromise, especially when it comes to hardware limitations. A game for the 3DS is going to have lower maximums than a PS4, for example.

And no, fps doesn't change the quality of content. I'm talking polygon count, textures, lighting, etc. I'd rather have a 30fps game with all of those vs 60fps with diminished quality.

you want the movements in your game to look janky and stuttering? what artistic value is that?
Sounds great for a horror game. Unnatural and janky movement on a humanoid object is uncanny valley as fuck.

Serious / Re: Why do we allow a two party system in the US?
« on: October 20, 2015, 01:09:17 PM »
Because it costs like $200,000 for 4 minutes of speaking time or something and the smaller parties can't afford that.

That's what I've read, at least.
Also, third parties have to register for the ballot per-district/state and meet a minimum petition signing (a strict limit or percentage of the previous vote) that only includes residents of that area.

Also, third parties only qualify for public funding if they receive 5% of the vote in the previous election. The Reform Party is a good example of that, what with the failure to receive public funding after the 2000 election and its subsequent drop into obscurity (relative to the mid-90s).

Add in the fact that we use a Single Member Plurality Electoral System, and you get the result of three US Senators and one member of the House of Representatives being Independent.

Harrison Ford's goofy-looking old-ass face killed it for me.

I hate that he's in this movie--just for the sake of nostalgia pandering.
Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill are both in it too. But for the story, considering the monumental nature of both the OT and what VII seems to be doing, it would make sense for them to be involved.

You mean they planned a 2003 invasion in 2002? Oh the horror. This is unbelievable. We can't stand for this! BUSH MUST HANG!

It means he was planning on waging an aggressive war before he had approval to do so.
Planning != Committing

You're supposed to have a plan before you do something. Preparedness is expected.

« on: October 19, 2015, 07:26:26 PM »
Sure, but it's only catchy because it rhymes. "Again. Ever." Doesn't have a good ring to it, and thus it's easier to spot the discrepancy.

Does it matter? Yes, in two ways. One is that you worded it like that, and I believe that when people show emotions etc they want attention and possibly help. The other way is my "training". If I spot stuff like that I get dopamine for being right, and in turn I become more experienced.
It's not simple redundancy if it's for effect. And people do use other combinations than "never-ever", because it's not that they rhyme; it's that restating the definitiveness of your position confirms the nature of it.

And that's not true, especially when you're using a specific personal example to explain your point. And that's nice that you want to help people, but it seems more like probing (which isn't fun unless it's asked for).

Question: What exactly happens when you die? I'd like to know so that I'm not angry when it happens.

I assume you just go back to the last place you saved/auto-saved, losing all your progress down to that point.
You stare at your dead body for a few seconds, then you reload to the last save/auto-save. Save frequently!

Nope. Trust is the belief that somebody wouldn't lie to, steal from, or generally mislead you. If they've done anything like that even once, then why would you believe that they wouldn't do it again?
Why stop at just once? Why trust anybody, even if they haven't deceived you before?
Most people (should) do that. Trust is earned, not assumed.

« on: October 19, 2015, 09:03:27 AM »
Not really. If it's a game that I need to look at reviews on, I just read the Metacritic user-reviews that hover around the 50pt mark. They tend to list the most glaring faults and the good things that keep it from being awful.

Never for the same situation. If I tell a friend something in confidence and they tell everyone about it, I will never trust that person with secrets again. Ever.
Ever? that's a bit redundant, so are you A) imagining up a scenario in your head, or
B) Remembering an event in your life where something like this has happened?
Redundant? "Never ever" is not an uncommon choice to use in combination.

And it's B, but does that really matter?

The Flood / Re: Worst to Top Star Wars Movie?

I've heard more salient arguments from other prequel haters (and I know you're not a prequel "hater"), and I haven't really seen you make any of those yet.
Because I don't hate them, like you said. I'm only providing examples relative to why I organized the movies as I did; in other words I'm not trying to talk shit. I'm just saying why I didn't like AotC, and why I didn't like TPM as much as some others. Which was kind of the point of the thread, I thought, since it's asking about our personal rankings and all.

Quote
See, I never quite got this, either. You haven't had much good to say about TPM, so to put it on par with RotJ (my favorite of the prequels) is just mind-blowing to me.
Despite the fact that ROTJ is technically more satisfying, they're about equal in terms of how much I enjoy them as a whole. ROTJ is like a 7.5/10, just slightly above TPM (if not on par).

Quote
It's amusing just how fucking backwards my opinions on the Star Wars movies are, compared to the general consensus. Not only do I prefer the prequels--I think the least popular of the OT is the best one, and I have never seen any legit criticisms of it.
Everyone is free to have fun and enjoy themselves. Really, a lot of these issues are more about the individual's taste. Jar Jar is a good example of that, and just the fact that there is no definitive list here for the best-worst order of the films. We could do an in-depth analysis of the films to see which one is the best in terms of cinematic and thematic consistency, development, effectiveness, etc, but I would rather like to keep enjoying the films.

I mean, the fact that you keep saying that there are larger criticisms does imply that you'd think I'm not complaining about the right things, but I digress.

The Phantom Menace is the film that went from my second favorite as a tyke, to my second to least favorite now. Not because I hate the film, it's nowhere near a 3/10; it's a between a 6 and a 7. Really, I'm realizing during this that I would put ROTJ equal to TPM on my list. How enjoyable they are is interchangeable, which is to say that I still do enjoy them. Funny enough, I went and saw TPM 3D when it happened a few years ago.

Attack of the Clones is the only one that I legitimately cannot watch without fastforwarding through 80% of the movie. All the others are either great (ANH) to "alright" (ROTJ, TPM). So just keep in mind that I'm not saying why TPM is bad, just why it isn't in the top 4.
