Downloaded it. The art style looks disgusting, and I haven't had any interest in playing it after I went off. To be honest, I only played as long as I did because my friends were. I wanted to go on battlefield after a few missions.

So me having zero interest in girls is a good thing for school? Awesome.

I dont ever see this in Australia.  If so we'll just add the banned word and add either  Cunt or Bastard to the end of it.

I didn't know Australia was allowed swearing. I presumed the dictator of Australia would have banned them.

Couple weeks.


It ended because she gave me a choice, play less video games or she went. Well that was a no-brainer for me.

Since then, I've had no interest in having a girlfriend. Fuck 'em, I can do better by myself.

The Tri-Beam laser rifle was basically a laser shotgun anyway. As was the multiplas rifle for plasma.

Im sure we'd have splitscreen but they are too busy pushing the 'importance' of graphics
They're pushing 60fps though.
The graphics have already taken a hit to get it how it is.



Everybody going to play Halo 5 is obviously going to play it for the plot and the 60fps.
Ew isn't Linda like nearly 50 at this point.

About 47, assuming she was six in 2517.

Does that mean everyone likes me, or that I'm very forgettable? Probably the latter, I'd imagine.

I could never get past the first few minutes of FO1.

Vastly prefer the gameplay of the newer ones.
It takes more than a few mins to get into, silly. I hope you weren't expecting FO3/NV style of gameplay when you got it.


No, I knew what the gameplay was. But I thought it might be like ME1 where I can put up with not too great gameplay for story.

No such luck. I got them for free on GOG so I haven't lost anything.

I love when Americans think that all British people speak really posh.

I guess it's like when us Brits take on the average American as being a redneck with that southern accent that rick grimes imitates surprisingly well.

a bunch of the weird social outcasts in school spoke in accents that don't actually exist

you know, because they've been sheltered, so they don't know how people talk, except for on game of thrones?...
and fucking, like, dr. who, and other lame shit like that

it made conversing anything with them a fucking ordeal because i wasn't sure if it was just a put-on, or what

British accents do exist. Considering pretty much every actor on anything you mentioned is from Britain/ Ireland, it's pretty obvious the kids were imitating a British accent. Or one of the many, anyway.

Whether the kids were from Britain is another matter.

Considering that frame rate boosts how well the player is able to react to certain events, no, it is a major factor. And it's crucial in games when there is a lot happening, like Halo 5 is doing with it's bigger segments and massive (for a Halo game) worldspaces.

And, plus, 60fps is the standard for AAA games. If you can't achieve it, it makes the studio look bad. And many people find <60 to be unplayable, whereas not having splitscreen means you can't play with friends in real life. The comparison to XB1's original policies is worthless, as that actively stopped people playing the games for reasons not in their control; not many people won't be able to play because they can't play at te same time.

60 is the standard, and rightly so. It's intrinsically tied to how the player plays the game. It's not a question of muh pwetty gwafiks, it's a question of the flow of the game, an it's something you don't miss until it's gone. I went back to play some Reach campaign the other day and I eventually had to quit because the refresh rate was unbearable and made the game unenjoyable to play.

If you really want to know more, go watch, like, any TotalBiscuit video, because he pretty much destroys any argument against having 60.

An if the game wasn't able to hit 60, that would do wonders more for bad press than removal of a feature that isn't vital.

[paraphrased from the SDCC panel]

"we looked at the numbers of splitscreen players to decide. It wasn't as minor as 1%, but it wasn't as major as 40%"

So yeah, not a majority. Not even close.

To move to England, you must have a job ready and speak basic English. No exceptions.

Or make vaccination mandatory regardless of personal belief. If people don't like it, they can go somewhere else.

When I first started using forums, in like 2012, I was always the super friendly obnoxious guy that would welcome each and every person who joined. Eugh.

On Sep7, I'm pretty much the same as I started. Except I know more about physics.

I don't know if it really counts, but I often feel like I'm born like, in te wrong time period. If that makes sense. Like, I wish I could be living in a time when we were exploring; like back when America was being colonised, or if/ when we begin manned space flight in the solar system. For everything I love (SciFi, Physics, Space), it genuinely depresses me to know that I will not live to see a human or a probe land on a planet in another star system, and probably won't get to see a human settlement on mars before I die. Maybe not even a landing.

Alternatively, it also depresses me when I think about how exciting it must have been when you could just explore and find new countries and places on our planet before we discovered it all (inb4 oceans)

I often feel out of place for when I live, as everyone around me seems more interested in celebrities and shit than exploring the universe. Everyone remembers the moon landing, but no one remembers the guys who spent decades building various rocket systems and testing what we knew about aerospace engineering like how we test what we know about quantum mechanics today. So in 100 years, people may look back on the future mars landing as a monumental achievement, but very few will look at 2015, when nothing major was happening then.

Fuck, I honestly feel like I'd serve more purpose in life if I was living in a fucking war. Or a nuclear wasteland or a zombie apocalypse, you get the idea. I'm not saying I'd survive long, but at least you always have a purpose, rather than just the status quo of sleep work eat sleep repeat that pretty much summarises the early 21st century. I have a general opinion that my mindset, the way I think and how my brain functions is out of place for now. This period of history. Like, I have a way of thinking better suited to other parts of history, with different skillsets that are useless now but would otherwise be good elsewhere. I dunno.

But yeah, I often feel like I'm someone who is better equipped, mentally for more 'exciting' periods of history, as it were. A time when something is going on, be it major exploration or major war. Just something exciting, where every day isn't just repeating the same shit all the time. To be honest, that's my reason that in considering joining the armed forces; because at least then I'd have a purpose and something to do everyday instead of going to school for an arbritary grade that tells everyone how good my memory is.

I don't know if that counts towards the topic, but it seemed kind of relevant, even if a bit of a tangent at the end.
