  1. Remedy's 'Quantum Break'

    This will probably come to PC eventually, and if it doesn't I'll probably buy the second Xbone slim redesign in 10 years and play it. I like Remedy.
  2. Comics Extravaganza - Pow Bang Smash!

    I have all the black and white too, but I'm considering giving them away as a gift for Christmas so I can buy the colour ones. That said, I kind of like the way the black and white makes it just feel like a normal manga book. Except Canadian.
  3. anime

    When I say there aren't any I mean there aren't any good ones Btw. There are quite a few that are either bad or not even really about soccer like Inazuma Eleven.
  4. anime

    For soccer specifically there aren't any, I've looked.
  5. GOTY.cx 2013

    I thought this was a joke until I looked it up.
  6. DOTA 2

    Hmm, ranked matchmaking is coming.
  7. I liked him at Ars a lot, haven't read anything he's done since.
  8. Starbound

    I see so many people complaining about how the game is not done yet. I don't think the world is ready for Early Access to exist, it seems like this happens every time.
  9. I think it's fairly common practice for top players to play other games while searching for matches. For players with a high ELO queues can be pretty long (anywhere from 10 minutes to 45 minutes). A lot of esports players will have a regular streaming schedule where they stream certain days of the week, but then stream other days playing other games (a lot of times with subscribers) to keep up the community in their channel. I'd imagine this has an impact on how successful streamers are. It's also worth pointing out that it's not just the pro players this is affecting, other big streamers are being removed from the list of featured streamers Riot has. I don't ever watched streams of League of Legends (I used to a decent amount though) so I probably won't see any impact from this, but I can't see this as anything other than a bad decision.
  10. Didn't Kobe play soccer with the US Womens national team?
  11. General Video Game Deals Thread

    New Humble Bundle with a lot of stuff. I might pass since I own most of it, but there's going to be more games coming so I'm still excited. https://www.humblebundle.com
  12. The Official Video Game Music Corner

    https://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/7960-music-of-the-games-of-video/ I think that was the original thread, though I don't think it really matters. I really like the music from Battlefield 1942, it was so good. The theme was just so perfect.
  13. The Wolf Among Us

    Re: the mechanics of the universe
  14. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I got 2 copies of Gone Home, The Cave, and the first 3 Blackwell games (I've had the 4th for a while from a bundle). I paid for everything with money from selling trading cards.
  15. Comics Extravaganza - Pow Bang Smash!

    Try Asterios Polyp or Daytripper.
  16. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I almost bought Anodyne, before I realized I already had it from the Humble Android + PC bundle that I originally only got for Ticket to Ride
  17. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

    So is the game actually balanced around the assumption that you're actually getting heart pieces? I usually don't bother getting them because I find Zelda games are usually on the easy side already, partly because every single monster and boss is super obvious about telegraphing everything it does, and also partly because of fairies giving you an easily available retry if you do die.
  18. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

    They should have hard mode remove all heart pieces and heart containers from the game.
  19. Charlie Brooker teaches Jon Snow to play video games

    I wonder what it would be like if Conan played Papers, Please
  20. PL4YST4TION 4

    I believe so
  21. PL4YST4TION 4

    I find people so much less believable now than 10-15 years ago when faces were flat. When I see something like this http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab178/HungryPlatypus/arx_human_king.jpg I can believe that I'm looking at a human. When I see super high fidelity faces they always look like a cartoon no matter how realistic they're trying to be. Stupid uncanny valley.
  22. General Video Game Deals Thread

    If KRØ doesn't go below 50% on steam I'm going to get it on Humble. I also got the Cave in a flash sale.
  23. PL4YST4TION 4

    So I've been occasionally watching streams of people playing one the new consoles and so far the only game I've seen that looked noticeably different than last gen is that Roman game. Ryse? It looks so ridiculously nice, except for the actual game looks stupid.
  24. Video game music renditions

    Did anyone go to the Zelda Symphony last year? I didn't go even though I knew a couple people in it (the bay area one is held down the street from my school so they get some people from the music department here). I think I'm going this year though.
  25. Who was that one cm who got really mad a while ago and made a post about how no matter what you do the community just complains? I haven't played Wow for a long time and was never into the forums so the only person I really remember is Caydiem and she left a long time ago.
