  1. Just rolled credits. That's a helluva game, but I maintain it's best played on the easiest difficulty. I think there are sequences that slightly overstayed their welcome (both combat and traversal), but overall thoroughly enjoyed it.
  2. Recommend a solution for my gaming setup

    Okay this is going to maybe be a dumb suggestion, but have you considered just getting a rug of some sort using that to hide the cable?
  3. Idle Fiction Jam - Rumours and Hearsay

    Possibly only one person would attempt this exacting ritual...not even WInifred, my EX is confidently offering
  4. Fallout 4 — Boston Makes Me Feel Good

    Situationally, depending on what type of mission it is, I can see how doing that would make sense, but I think part of the motivation of the missions (besides just giving you something to do), is to try to get you to visit areas of the map you haven't yet visited or wouldn't otherwise have a reason to visit, right?
  5. Mouth Feel - The Summer Wizard Cocktail Jam

    I'm sorry. DON'T ACTUALLY MAKE/DRINK THESE, I've never made them and am just making shit up based on the title: charge guy, tree guy, ice guy, bendy guy 2 oz vodka 2 oz red bull 1/2 oz rosemary syrup crushed ice twizzler, for use as a straw also for Life Finds a Way: some regular ass drink, but then toss some sea monkeys in it more undrinkableness: Kobe's Last Shot 1/2oz wagyu beef consomme 1/2oz 190 proof everclear
  6. Other podcasts

    I just learned about Mystery Show by Starlee Kine it's pretty neat. https://gimletmedia.com/show/mystery-show/ edit: and I am through all of the existing episodes and a second season can't come soon enough IMO. To give some more context, it's very TAL-like (no surprise as she's been a contributor/producer for them) and take the premise with a grain of salt...the mystery is there, but often as not the best bits are the totally red-herring side stories that come up as she strikes up conversation with various interviewees. Also I would characterize her as twee if that's a thing that bothers you; personally I find twee stuff hit or miss but mystery show doesn't fall into the category I find annoying.
  7. Idle Thumbs Streams

    internalization level moar liek inebriation level amirite guys
  8. I've not any interest in playing, but I do remember the Giant Bomb quicklook being quite amusing on the off chance that helps sell it to anyone.
  9. DOOM

    and because I want you all to suffer, I went and found it. check the pro mlg noscope action at 6:20 and tell me that's not aggravating. That's like 5 shots at an essentially stationary enemy, about as close as an enemy can be without being in melee range, resulting in zero hits. UGH
  10. DOOM

    I saw that and it was so aggravating the entire time I was "dude(tte?) tone down that controller sensitivity and start over because wtf"
  11. cracked me up when
  12. Idle Weekend May 6, 2016: Top This

    have not had a chance to listen to this one yet but I'm glad Kim gets a mention after seeing Rob's piece on it for Rock Paper Shotgun.
  13. this is weird, it still says may 10th unlock for the digital version? i mean im on vacation away from my ps4 so it doesn't really matter but it's still odd
  14. Nintendo 3DS

    on holidays in europe and why does this stoopid charger not handle 240 volts ugh. I basically only use the 3ds when I am traveling.
  15. iOS Gaming

    yes super tribes and warbits both get a ditto from me. Fallen London's load times need some serious work. Also it's kind of terrible at staying synched/updates with current status. The only way to guarantee that it updates your turns left is to manually log out every time you stop playing and log in when you start. If you don't do that and task switch into it hours after you ran out of actions, odds are, in my experience, better than 50% it will still read zero actions available when you come back to it.
  16. This is an interesting point, because I feel like when I fail at a game, I often have no idea if I am failing because of a poor plan or decision-making (lack of intelligence) or just a failure to execute well enough.
  17. Oh shit I just caught the end on youtube after having had to check out of the stream early.
  18. iOS Gaming

    i got warbits, haven't played it yet. saving it for a plane ride in the near future.
  19. omg that tampon ad read was amazing
  20. TInker Tailor Soldier Spy

    Seeing all this talk of Tinker Tailor reminds me that the Alec Guinness version is on youtube in its entirety and IMO worthwhile. I mean of course it's going to look dated next to the movie, but I still liked it.
  21. No Man's Sky

    that link didn't work for me on a desktop browser, but it's up on their youtube channel
  22. Also, not to beat a dead horse (but I'm a still do it), woefully wrong about cars a) the car doesn't drive you, you drive it. if a car is supposed to take you somewhere else, then is a formula 1 race car which runs a circuit and ends up where it began not doing what it's supposed to? c) public transportation options can sometimes be equally or more cost-effective, convenient, and quick but even when that is the case some people will opt for a car. barring ignorance about these public transport options, there are reasons for that (comfort, class/status, privacy, hauling cargo), it's worth interrogating why if you're going to get at what a car is "supposed to do."
  23. Obra Dinn

    The GDC build is available to download/play. Haven't checked it out myself, but here's the changelog since the previously available version:
  24. They're guaranteeing HE drops from level 30 named enemies now, so that's good.
