  1. I can't believe Olly store the design from that beer bottle.
  2. BattleCry

    haha, what, is that what David Beckham looks like these days?
  3. Movie/TV recommendations

    What's wrong with the acting apart from Doctor Who's accent?
  4. The threat of Watch Dogs

    Holy shit, I'm one smart dude.
  5. The threat of Watch Dogs

    I can't bear looking at the guy hacking a forklift or a grenade. It's like hacking a boulder.
  6. Those will eventually be installed on the front bumpers of Google's self-driving cars. Wrong thread.
  7. Far Cry 4: A grenade rolls down everest

    When power fantasies starring white people are business as usual, I don't see how a power fantasy starring another ethnicity would not be welcome.
  8. Far Cry 4: A grenade rolls down everest

    Nepali protagonist would be a pretty great change of pace. I would actually have liked a pulpy narrative of taking down some white guy who has set up his personal colony. I guess Western symbols can make that point as well.
  9. The threat of Big Dog

    God. This is getting all Second Variety.
  10. Far Cry 4: A grenade rolls down everest

    That's an authored character, not a person.
  11. It's... well. Video tutorials are your best bet and it has a pretty comprehensive manual. It just doesn't work and communicate how you expect. Maybe it's easier now than when I first came across it since they've been developing it a lot, but it's just not something you gradually learn just by trying.
  12. Far Cry 4: A grenade rolls down everest

    Must have had some work done.
  13. Lightworks has a free version, but it has some limitations. Also, it's bloody complicated to use.
  14. I hate Far Cry 2, what am I doing wrong?

    I played Far Cry 2 on the PS3 as my first console FPS and loved it to death. Everything apart from the snipers beyond draw distance. This was before Idle Thumbs talked about it, so I didn't know I was supposed to love it. All the talk at that time was about how bad it was compared to Far Cry, and I couldn't understand it. I still 'read' the gameplay as an excellent adaptation of some of the themes from The Heart of Darkness, but I guess that's just my personal history talking. It's just rare in being interesting to play to me when most shooters these days don't draw me in at all.

    If Anderson Cooper does the voice work and mocap for that guy I'm buying the game.
  16. Far Cry 4: A grenade rolls down everest

    That's what came to my mind. That would be the smart way to go about it if the plot involves a white guy tyrant. We'll probably know soon enough.
  17. I Had A Random Thought...

    You must recognize people solely by the shape of their ears.
  18. Baby Animal Gif Emergency Rations

    Man, I miss kittens. My first cat had two litters. That must have been fifteen years ago.
  19. Far Cry 4: A grenade rolls down everest

    If he were Asian, we wouldn't be discussing it. Real people have ethnically ambiguous features, not game people. Certainly not game bad guys in my experience
  20. Far Cry 4: A grenade rolls down everest

    Huh, why would you think that's lazy instead of purposeful? That picture screams what Yohalem claimed Far Cry 3 was about. I would bet a lot of money that they will make this one supposedly explore some theme again, which is apparently racism. Considering what happened after Far Cry 3's release they'll probably try to be a bit more obvious about it.
  21. Project Godus: Don't believe his lies

    Oooh, I thought that was the full game! I guess there's still hope then.
  22. Project Godus: Don't believe his lies

    Wasn't Godus ready ages ago, and then they redid a lot of it because of how crap it was? Nothing's probably happening because they made the game which people hated, redid it to save face and are now over it, maybe?
  23. Prison Architect

    No, they named it Prison Architect and decided to support its current state.
  24. Whenever I have to deal with crap like that I turn to ffmpeg. For some reason it seems like any time I have to deal with video, my use case is so special that it's easier to find the right command than wrangle with some GUI. http://www.kevssite.com/2009/02/22/converting-a-video-file-to-dvd-with-ffmpeg/
  25. Prison Architect

    Stopped listening at "all of these things are true".
