Gaming / Re: The Order 1886 is NOT a piece of shit. SUPRISE!
« on: February 20, 2015, 06:40:35 PM »
Just watched a guy on Twitch beat it in about 5 hours 30 minutes.

The AI is so lackluster.  They just run out into the open and do the typical "let me completely expose myself to take three shots at you".

My condolences to the people who bought day-one.

Weezer is one of those bands that I like a handful of their songs, but the rest are garbage.

Local hibachi restaurant called Yamato's.  Great food and it's not too expensive.

Asian food is my go-to because it doesn't make me feel like I'm going to get diabetes.

Serious / Re: Make Britain safer; bring back handguns
« on: February 18, 2015, 02:47:06 AM »
Education is the biggest deterrent of crime, handgun or otherwise.

In response to Psy's point about homeowners being able to defend themselves with blunt objects:  The problem in this case is that outside of the element of surprise, the determining factor in how a homeowner would stand against an intruder is their strength.  The reason handguns would be a preferable home-defense solution is because they can be easily handled by anyone--young or old--and therefore even the playing field between the homeowner and the intruder.

Of course, the fact that there aren't a large number of guns (legal or otherwise) present in the UK makes my case more difficult to justify, as an intruder in the UK most likely won't be armed with anything more than a blunt object or a knife.  Legalizing the ownership of mace and batons would be a better first-step in ensuring civilians can protect themselves.  If that works out there may not be a need to legalize handguns (despite me believing that is the right thing to do).

Republicans are center/center-left when it comes to economics.  Democrats are left/far-left.

The "middle ground" you're describing is actually on the far-right side of the spectrum.

Serious / Re: Remember that nasty Recession which began in 2013?
« on: February 15, 2015, 08:38:18 AM »
No.. I remember that recession that began back in 2008 that is still going on. I don't understand how a huge lost and then a little gain can be considered the end to a recession.. A recession ends (in my book) when the status of the economy is the same or better than it was before it occurred.

(NBER)  The United States was in a recession from late 2007 to mid-2009.
They can say that all they want.. to me.. its 2007 to the present. It'll be over when I see it, not when I hear it
Dunno what part of the country you live in, but here in central SC business is booming.  New stores and restaurants are opening up all over the place.

You can't deny that humans have contributed to the rise in atmospheric CO2 and global temperature since the 1970s.

That said there is a solution I could see coming into fruition if the U.S. government would stop spending $22 billion on climate change awareness and "green" subsidies and put just $8 billion toward this.

I'm just going to say that this is (probably) going to end badly for the consumer and will ultimately lead to more monopolies with even more money in the hands of big ISPs.

I just don't have faith in the American government to regulate something without screwing it up.

The near universal definition of a recession is "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales." (NBER)  The United States was in a recession from late 2007 to mid-2009.

Be careful when installing large texture packs.  The Gamebryo engine doesn't like to load a lot of things and when it sees large texture packs it usually goes "lolnope" and crashes.

Your best bet to get good looking textures is to download NMC's medium texture pack, install it, then install Poco Bueno on top of it (overwrite NMC files).  That's what I have in my game.

At least you limeys dont have to deal with JewStop trying to fingerprint you
IDK why you people hate gamestop, and eb games, the eb games here is so fucking chill, and I've personally had great experience with them.
EB Games is great from what I hear.  Before they were bought by GameStop here in the States, they were great.  They didn't try to push any reward cards on you or get you to preorder shit.

I haven't been to a GameStop in almost two years, so I can't say if they're still the same (from what I hear, they are).

"Preplanned" DLC is cut content.
You shouldn't be okay with that.
Art assets and modeling are usually the first things to get done in game development.  After that comes programming scripts, QA testing, etc.

In the late stages of game development the art team is sitting there with nothing to do.  So why not work on more maps?  Trouble is that by the time these new maps are finished, the game will be a month or so away from going gold, which doesn't leave the programmers and QA team enough time to write scripts for the news maps and iron out bugs.  These maps are then sold later on as DLC because they couldn't make the release date.

That's at least how it usually goes.  Most of the time it's obvious whether or not DLC is a cash grab, but you can't exactly know that until after the fact.
