So

Can anyone explain to me what Arya is going through?

She looks like she's becoming a blind warrior, but then the Faceless Man gave her eyes back.

The hell?
I'm guessing the blinding was a punishment for killing someone she wasn't supposed to, and for ignoring what they were teaching her for a whole season.

She's being prepped for becoming a faceless man. That's what all the training is for. To do that she has to let go of her identity.

I'd also argue that being able to fight without relying on vision (For example, in a dark tunnel or at night) and even navigate in low-light (As would be expected of assassins) would be an important skill to have. I thought the waif getting pissed off towards the end of her training montage was pretty funny, though.

OT: Overall meh episode. Not good, not bad, just boring and inconsequential. Christ, I hope they don't try and shoehorn dorne into Aegon's plotline. The scene with Tommen and the Sparrow was cool, and cleganebowl is fucking confirmed. I'm still wondering when/ if they'll do the pink letter. I'm guessing they're not bringing mance back, but I could see the show just threatening the night's watch to submit by Umber's news about the Wildlings, using Rickon as a hostage, leading Jon to rally the wildlings for bastardbowl. IIRC, you can see the umber banners in the trailers on Jon's side, though I could be wrong.

I'm disappointed, though not surprised with Rickon. Introducing Skagos now would require reintroducing Stannis (I mean, I'm guessing he took Deepwood Motte from the Ironborn) then sending Davos off to Whiteharbour (Is that two words?), and considering they said they can wrap everything up in 13 episodes (Said before S6), that would require another season at least.

Speaking of the Ironborn, >tfw no euron

I can't really recall sports ever helping me that much.

Doing science, on the other hand, kindled my interest in space and technology, which then led to computing and to what I want to do. Science has helped me more than sports has, and I think it's a subject that is incredibly underfunded as-is.

I tend to go to the cinema on my days off (Thursday/Friday) so its usually pretty empty. Either that or midnight launches/ early morning launches (I saw SW at 8am on release day)

When I went to go see Godzilla, though, it was after school on a tuesday or something and there was this woman who had obviously brought her kid but didn't care about the film so she was just on her phone the entire way through.

Also, my second viewing of Civil War was on the sunday after release (My first being midnight) and the entire screen was packed. The fucking kid sat next to me screamed at the top of his voice every time black panther amd spiderman came on screen, and wouldn't shut up for the first half, and wouldn't stop playing with sweet wrappers for the second. Thankfully it was my second viewing, but never again.

When I went to see Mad Max, Deadpool, Star Wars (views #2 and #3), Ultron and Guardians it was coll because me and co. Had the screen to ourselves basically.

I've crashed like, five times in my close to 400 hours of playtime.

I like the bed system when I am playing, but it means you need to know you'll be playing for a while to play. If they allowed save on sitting in a chair, I'd be fine with that.

Everything else I've enjoyed a lot. Five hours in and I'm yet to go past starlight is a good indicator of longevity. It's really put more role playing into it/ it feels more immersive as an experience to play. I'm really enjoying it so far.

I'll probably switch to my main for FH though.

Btw LevelCap has agood analysis of the trailer, identifying some weapons and whatnot as well as well as some exclusive info not shown in the livestream (He was at the press event). I'd recommend watching - I'd link but >mobile

Thus, of course, there is obviously going to be childish controversy over Infinite Warfare vs. BF1.

hurrr durrr! Im a 10 year old who loves CoD cuz' I quikscope. There going to freakin' space!!! I hate battlefield 1 cuz' it's in boring 1914. no one wants to learn boring education and history in a video game!

Oh yeah, did I mention that Im 10 year old who loves CoD cuz' I better than you and Im mlg FaZe?


Except for the IW trailer being the most disliked gaming video on YT, and a near universal outcry from the fans to go back to modern/ historical perspective.

If it weren't for the MW remaster, I don't think Infinite would do anywhere near as well as the other games in the series.

Serious / Re: California Smoking Age to go from 18 -> 21
« on: May 06, 2016, 07:19:20 PM »
If I choose to fuck up my health, that's my choice. The government has zero rights to dictate what you can and can't ingest.

Smoking = bad health
Bad health = inflated cost of healthcare + less healthy workforce
Inflated cost of healthcare = some people cannot afford coverage and are denied critical care (it doesn't matter if you think insurance is done; this is reality)
Less healthy workforce = more taxes are required to support those individuals via welfare

It's demonstrable that the aggregate effect of smoking basically takes money out of peoples' pocket and endangers lives and livelihoods. Hell, I'd even go so far to say that smoking directly contributes to political corruption. So again, where does my right to do whatever the fuck I want with my body end in regards to others' same right?

You forgot the fact that the time and resources of the hospitals are going towards people who fuck their own shit up when they could go to the people that genuinely deserve that support

particularly in the NHS in the UK where everyone gets healthcare so it means that there's people actively taking money, resources, time and space away from others because they're idiots that continue despite having every chance and warning not to do so.

Wow. They actually fucking did it.

Will be interesting how they counter tanks in the game. Handheld explosives is the only option, that or the mud.

Shame they missed an excellent opportunity in the trailer to show the playercount by staging a "over the trench" scenario.

already confirmed to be 64 players

4 did it way too much (I mean, you could probably have three sniper rifles and you'd have all the major differences you can get), but the variety in sights is particularly nice to suit weapon to play style and whatnot.
no

Maybe it's because sniping is my laifu, but they each have very distinct characteristics barring one.

CSLR4 - Easy 100m sniping (there is a reason why it's the intro rifle)
Scout Elite - Doubletapping at short-mid range, if you aren't a headshotter then it's for you
M40a5 - Rapid headshot chaining at mid
.338 recon - running and gunning at short-mid
L96 - solid midrange rifle with the bonus of firing two shots in a steadied breath*
FYJS - max agility countersniper rifle
M98baller - Extreme range countersniper or bipod support rifle
SRR-61 - trickshotter trashgun
CS5 - suppressed with no penalty (within a certain range)
SV-98 - ironsighting or free equivalent of the L96
SR338 - dmr hybrid but shit because of spread

only clone rifle is the
Jng-90 - M98baller but for turkroaches

*forgot the asterisk
this might be down to the squad perk or have been removed but I remember playing with it doing this for a long ass time.

oh

I really hate sniping in battlefield (I'm not good or patient enough to fuck around with drop and travel times) so to me it's pretty much M40, M98B and the semi auto one.

I only ever use recon with carbines so I can have the radio beacon and stuff. I prefer to be more front lines/ support than a coward in the back.
Yeah I mean it's down to how much you enjoy it really, but sniping in battlefield 4 is hands down the best sniping in any FPS I've played

Learning the bullet drops, velocities and damage models was a bit of a curve at first but now (or at least when i still played it for hours each day) I could pick up any sniper rifle and I'd know how it worked flawlessly. Which of course made me really popular on servers after a few rounds of facerape :| but that's par for the course.

Hardline tho
they gave me god's gift to snipers in that game
the trayvon
the threehunna knockout
the OHK sniper rifle at any distance within 50m

Round after round of endless killing with that beautiful bastard gun ;-;7

I ended up stopping because I felt like I was worse than the M16A3 cancer doing that

(reminisce o' clock for psy apparently)

yeah, I can't deny that the sniping mechanics really do require a lot of skill on the part of the player.

I just don't have the patience to learn any of that (Kind of like jets). If I'm just sitting on a roof not really contributing anything to the team I tend to get annoyed because then I feel that I'm doing exactly what I find annoying with others, where they just sit there and never push for objectives or whatever. Same in a jet, I don't feel that flying round in circles for the entire match is beneficial in any way to the team when I could be going to get a capture point or arm a bomb or something.
Rooftops can be a real tactical advantage for your team, but if you have a squad sat up on one it's a waste of manpower.

Flyboys are utter cancer and every aircraft that I shoot down is god's work.

It's a good advantage if you can coordinate with the sniper so they can watch your back/ place a beacon where it needs placing

too often though they just abuse attack helicopters to get to that round building on shanghai and then never leave that one area. I always kick those guys out of my squad if I'm squad leader.



Speaking of which, I'm glad the new one will be removing one man army jets/ choppers/ tanks and the associated lock-on launchers.
