Gaming / Re: Forced walking sections in games
« on: July 11, 2017, 05:14:45 PM »
GTA V has the best of both worlds - Singleplayer phone calls are entirely skippable, and in GTAO they don't slow you down at all.

Only annoying parts are the "walking around while talking" parts, where you can't sprint off and get on with the mission.

Tbh most games that I do recall having it weren't too much of a nuisance because Devs do realise holding you back isn't the most fun.

Oh boy, what episode of "Verbatim hates everything" is this?

Looks like a re-run because it's got the same characters and plot involved.

634
Well that's retarded.

If you have to resort to cheating to win, then you'll never win in the first place. And now you've told us as well, which is even more mind boggling to me.

Man you suck so bad you can't even cheat well.

The Flood / Re: Love or money?
« on: July 07, 2017, 09:04:26 PM »
By "never make enough money", do you mean as in "never enough money to meet my life goal (i.e. decent house but not enough to fix it's problems, my car is from the 2000's and always needs repairing, my lavish holidays are camping trips in the local countryside)", or do you mean "never enough money to do anything except to survive (i.e. visits to the food bank, I share my tent with some homeless dudes, my car is a rusty bike and ticket-jumping buses)".

Because if the former, love sounds pretty good. It's a nice distraction from the inconveniences in life. The latter however would lead me to taking the money - no amount of love can divert your attention to the serious financial problems surrounding you, and dragging someone down with me just because they are madly in love with me wouldn't be fair.

Either scenario, you don't really win. Shit life with love is still a shit life, being that money is so bound to the quality of life. Money improves my quality of life, but then not being able to enjoy that with anyone serious wouldn't maximise my quality of life.

I suppose there's always gold-diggers.

Seems with all the compensation schemes they've been making to divert their people's attention, we're gonna have to go to the electron microscopes to measure the difference.

I liked Godzilla '98. The French bloke in jt was pretty good, from what I can remember.

Still have it on VHS, ripped straight from its premiere on TV and complete with ridiculous old TV ads.

Gears of War 3 made use of them since some cool weapon skins were available only if you had achievements from the previous games.

Encouraged me to play co-op on Gears of War 2 with a mate just for a silver Lancer.

Fuck the "Seriously/2.0/3.0" achievements though. Tedious and only show that you need to get outside more than anything else.

Game reccomendations

Most of the reccomendations I've played, though Nier Automata and Fate/Grand Order appear to wildcards. Never heard of nor interested in playing them.

Forza is surprising to be at the top, but I did used to love racing games as a child so I suppose that wouldn't change.

Interesting how my Discovery and Fantasy score is particularly low because I don't actively search for glitches or every collectible as the questionnaire kept pushing on me, nor do I try out every concievable manner of playing a game, but I love games like Skyrim/Fallout/Borderlands where all you do is explore areas and open every single container and scour every corner for loot, and play how you want. Hell, none of the Fallout series is on my reccomended list of 87 games, and yet it's my favourite.

Have some sort of links or embedding on the homepage for the "official" things we have in a sidebar, e.g. Discord, Youtube channel, (twitch streamers if we have any?), whatever the fuck else we have.

Stargate Atlantis and Universe.

Atlantis got cut by a series or 2 short of the planned ending and accordioned it all into 2 45-minute episodes, while Universe "ended" on a cliffhanger just when things were gettin' good.

Damn, I love Stargate. I'm actually rewatching SG-1, on season 7 now.

Yeah, Universe's cancellation was shameful. They tried too hard for a gritty, Battlestar Galactica rival, but it really picked up later on and had a ton of potential.

Haven't seen BG, but I thought SGU was a nice change from it's predecessors. More focus on actual stress of the job with some light humour thrown in, rather than the other way around at times.

i'm still not sure how this classifies as a prank

"I'mma shoot you but you gotta book that'll keep you alive"

*bang*

"PSYCHE! The look on your face!"

They were both in on it, and it was the man's idea.
I thought it was kinda obvious that that was a joke, but ah well.

« on: June 28, 2017, 09:13:57 PM »
I'm having trouble answering this question, I've written a few paragraphs or so and then hit a conflict with my own thoughts and scrap the whole thing. I've also been awake for a bit too long, so that's definitely not helping.

I don't care about the opinions of me from people I don't care about. I couldn't give a rat's arse what some bully from school thought of me at the time because he was an arsehole, but I care what my parents think of me because ultimately I have to interact with them a lot, and being in disrepute in the eyes of people who've never wronged me would make it hard to bear.

During Halo Reach's Weekly challenges there was one for LASO Long Night of Solace.

A mate of ours was able to do it without killing anyone, showed a video for proof, then challenged is to do it on top of the weekly challenge.

We decided it to do it as 4 player co op so we could do it altogether rather than try separately. Worst idea ever, as every time 1 person dies, we all had to restart with no checkpoints iirc.

Took us 5 days straight of playing, timing our movements (i.e. so once the enemies are "active" when someone runs past, the 2nd/3rd/4th person isn't running straight into them), timing the perfect use of sprints, and when to sneak to get past sleeping/"inactive" enemies.

Worth it for the 100,000 creds, but a total bitch to do.

Gaming / Re: Your Gaming story
« on: June 26, 2017, 08:50:42 PM »
Started with a PS One when I was around 5-6, so 2000-2001 ish. Played the shit out of Destruction Derby 2 and Wipeout 3 as well as the original Gran Turismo which was just a blob of pixels moving around a screen of static pixels. Safe to say I was definitely into my racing games as a child. Never played the "classics" associated with Sony like Final Fantasy or Spyro, though I did have a go at some game called Croc. I hated it because I was waaay to young to figure what I was supposed to do. While I stuck to mostly racing games and hated most other story-oriented puzzle/adventure games, I really got into Monsters Inc.; Scare Island - basically a training island where you play as Sully or Mike and scare the crap out of robots. At the time I thought it was weird that it was robots instead of children, but thinking on it now it was probably down to using robots as a loophole to lower the game's classification (For a 3+ game, you're probably not allowed to depict scaring or threatening of kids). I also had a go at Army Men with the "plastic" soldiers, but I never got further than the 3rd or 4th level because I didn't grasp the concept of saving progress on a memory card. I did later with Monsters Inc., which I think I finished, but before that I used to just play a game for however long I could to see if I could get as far as I can before I had to turn over the TV to someone else, as it was the only TV in the house.

Army Men; Lock N Load, 2001 - Come out ye Plastic Tans

Several years later (though I'm unsure exactly when), I got a silver fat PS2. Apparently the slim version came out in 2004, so it must've been that year or around then when I got it. I stuck with this console well until I moved to Wales sometime around 2007, so I had plenty of games to play. Sticking with old habits I had racing games, but with more destructive tendencies like Burnout 3 and Flatout 2. So similar they were in their theme of beating your competitors by racing or failing that, literally beating them, they even had similar soundtracks, some of which I swear copied the same songs. Think screamy/alternative/"emo" metal - that sorta teen angsty stuff, though some was pretty good to be fair. Somewhere along the way I got myself my first CoD, Finest Hour. A memory that sticks in my mind is the intro to the game as some lowly Russian Private being given the most passionate speech ever by a Commissar on a little dingy heading for Stalingrad, only to be stuck on a mounted MG42 on the same mission because there was no hint to tell you to get off it, and thinking the game was broken. Took me a week of playing it again and mashing buttons in rage until I figured out you were supposed to press the action button to get off it again and continue with the mission. One of my favourites apart from the other two racing games (and oh-so-many other racing games I had at the time, most unknowns that never had a sequel, they were so crap) was Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition. Racing with powerups, but with a focus on racing and showing off your ride rather than crushing your competition. I played that right until I moved in 2006, maybe for another year until I moved on to the '360.
PS2 Features

Call of Duty; Finest Hour, 2004 - "The first one gets a rifle, the second, bullets. The first one dies, the second picks up the guns, and shoots!"


Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, 2005 - Cars REAL BIG, Money REAL BIG, Booty REAL BIG everything REAL BIG - I think you get the gist, things were generally gargantuan in nature.

After I moved here in 2006 I made friends with a guy and had sleepovers at his house often. He was the one to expose me to the Xbox 360 and online play around 2007/2008, being one of the early adopters with the god-awful original white 64GB console. Prone to overheating and breaking discs, it was a mechanical nightmare. But the games, jesus christ were they a step up from PS2. My friend had chipped his Xbox allowing him to play early pirate copies of GTA IV before anyone else, and I remember staying up until 6am with the lights off, with rapid flashes of Niko and an M4 mowing down fat cops and ragdolling NOOSE teams, minigunning and rotor-chopping pedestrians on Hove Beach, and constantly rejecting Roman Bellic's advances for family bonding via bowling.

2008 was a good year for me gaming wise. GTA IV, Fallout 3, and Call of Duty: World at War were all released (or thereabouts), I had gotten my first taste of online play in W@W and thinking "this is fucking magnificent". I had seen the online options for some games on PS2, but never being able to get onto it because I didn't understand the intricacies of attaching an ethernet cable to the back of the damn thing until it was too late for that console. Now here I was, shotgunning the legs off some Nazi 12-year old and being told I'm a massive fag for using bouncing betties and "hardscoping", whatever the fuck that was. Glorious. The Golden Age of Gaming continued with Red Dead Redemption, playing chicken with bears online in the forest before dynamiting bounty hunters, and Halo 3: ODST and eventually Reach getting me into the series and eventually Bungie.net, and finally here. During the "twilight stage" of the '360 I had upgraded my own to the black slim Elite edition as my own had died from the Red rings of Death, and got into the Battlefield Series with Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3.
'360 Features

Call of Duty; World At War, 2008 - "TONOHIKA, BANZAIIII"


Grand Theft Auto IV, 2008 - "Cousin, my cousin! Let's go bowling". 6 words that can kill your concentration while your baseball-batting some hookers who gave you a bad service, and became a meme.


Fallout 3, 2008 - "Hahaha, GAAAAARREEEEEE"

And finally, we come to the present. I played the shit out my Xbox(es), dumped a bunch of my parents money on games and Xbox Live, and now I had enough my own to buy my own for once. I first bought the Destiny TTK edition Playstation 4 in 2015 as I started my 2nd year at Uni and as my friends by 2013-14 had started buying into the 8th Gen consoles. I ended up as a minority among my friends as after the initial terrible release of the XB1 I went back to Playstation whilst everyone else stayed on. It was only recently friends bought it also (personally I think that's a crazy thing to do when you already have one, but eh), but now everyone's that bit older that life gets in the way of playing together. University, jobs, serious girlfriends, wives, children, Australia, that sorta thing.

So this year, I moved to a more beefy PC for gaming. More of a laptop really, but enough to play GTA V, Fallout 4, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and whatever else that comes out soon for singleplayer games. A bit more portable than a console too, which is perfect when in between summers you're moving to different houses for studying and need to take notes at a lecture too.

To be honest, I miss the Golden Age. That time when I was 14-17, without much of a care in the world and a tonne of time to kill to play with friends.
