  1. Borderlands 2

    The season pass comes with all four of the expansion packs, right? And that's it? EDIT: Actually seems like it'd be cheaper to just grab the GOTY edition. Same price as season pass, plus I get more content, including the two characters.

    I do some of that, but nobody really pays attention to me, and my social network is really small, anyway. It doesn't really feel like it helps. Blech.
  3. Borderlands 2

    Okay I've been planning to buy the DLC for BL2 once it went on sale for a while now. Someone tell me what I should buy. I want all the good stuff: extra mission areas, extra character. Don't care about costume packs or whatever. I have nothing but the base game. So basically I want you guys to do the work for me. thxx
  4. I can't for the life of me get this game to work on PC. I try using DPfix (from the guy who made DSfix!) but it just doesn't work. Sad sad. ):

    Thanks for filling me in. Ugh ugh ugh.
  6. Ferguson

    Oh. Oh god. Oh no. I've long been a fan of Sorbules, completely unironically. Ugh that hurts. I know it's really small in the grand scheme of things, especially with all the terrible things that are actually happening in Ferguson, and really my opinion here doesn't matter much, but it really sucks when you find out someone you like turns out to be a major piece of shit. I bet if I look into Kevin Sorbo now, I'd find out he has a history of this kind of shit. Ugh goddamnit. EDIT: It occurs to me that this is probably the most "emotional" post I've written in this thread, which is pretty hilariously awful! I feel weird leaving it at that, so... I said before that I just don't feel qualified to talk about this, but if there's one thing I can say, it's that it fucking makes me angry and sad and I don't know what to do.

    I don't want to derail, but I've missed the past few days of the internet. So: What? Is this related to the Zoe bullshit, because Phil rightly defended her? A short answer will suffice, I'm not looking to dive into any sort of huge discussion!

    Oops I was replying on my phone and didn't realize there was a whole new page of posts I hadn't yet read. Everyone basically said everything that needed saying. Sorry for prolonging this miserable train wreck.
  9. Feminism

    What the fuck? Is this real life? It is not your or anyone else's business what someone gets up to in their own home until such time as it is proven that what they're doing is harmful to other people. Sure, suspicions can merit investigation, but it is not the job of an internet-born angry mob to do so. Even further, the people under scrutiny should be these alleged journalists, and not Zoe. Instead the internet is sharing pictures of Zoe in the nude with her friends through Twitter, etc. Not to mention the rape and death threats. That's what's happening here and that's what you're defending. You're wrong. Stop it.And let's not even get into the fact that Zoe volunteered for none of this attention. People targeted her long before any of these accusations simply because she is a woman and she made a game about real life issues instead of shooting dudes with guns.

    I've pretty deliberately avoided reading about it beyond her tweets (because I follow her!) and this thread, because that's her fucking private business and I don't want to and shouldn't be a part of it. But I fully support her as an individual because I know that, no matter what has happened, whether the accusations are true or not (on general reflex, I believe they're probably NOT true), she doesn't deserve what she's getting.
  11. DOTA 2

    Increasing a heroes' primary stat increases auto-attack damage. That's why you build agility items on agility heroes, etc. Skills/spells/whatever don't scale at all from stats with a few exceptions: Silencer's orb (glaives of wisdom) scales with int, and you steal int from people who die around you, which is nice. Outworld Devourer's orb (arcane orb) does extra damage based on mana remaining in his mana pool. Both of those are pure damage, scaling off of intelligence (although in OD's case it's a sort of indirect scaling). OD also does more damage with his ultimate based on the difference in intelligence between him and the target, so getting a ton of pure intelligence items on him is important. There might be more I'm forgetting, but as a general rule assume skills DON'T scale. They'll always specifically say if they do scale.

    One problem with this is that you're conflating one loud-as-fuck vocal group with another loud-as-fuck vocal group. If the way gaming sites present themselves is anything to go by, the majority actually prefers to have review scores. Just because some people scream about it doesn't mean everyone on the internet feels that way. And the people screaming against review scores and the people screaming against alleged review score corruption are not necessarily part of the same group. The other problem is that these people yelling at Zoe probably don't give a fuck one way or the other about reviews scores - they just want another excuse to spit vitriol at someone, and this time they have "justification" to do so.

  14. Life

    Let's talk about my younger (and only) BROTHER. We never got along as kids. I was a bully. I was a bad person and I know this. One day I stopped. I really hurt him a lot. Like physically. You could make an argument that I abused him. I always feel bad about it every time I think about it. I'm not proud of my actions. I've apologized, but I don't know if he believed me or even bothered to listen. I should probably apologize again, for what little it's worth. Anyway, we were brothers and sometimes brothers just don't get along. Funnily enough he'd probably kick my ass now. He's super buff! Works out almost every day, as I understand it? He has also always been a super selfish... spoiled brat. It's usually that stuff that triggered our fights. Not that I'm making an excuse, but we were bother kids and well yeah. It's shitty. But he was very extremely selfish. Any time things didn't go his way he'd fucking get all hissy-fitty on everyone involved, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, it didn't matter. Anyway when I couldn't afford SF living costs anymore I moved back in with my parents to continue searching for a job in a safer more reliable situation. Turns out my brother had also moved back in with my parents shortly before I did. Weird, cool, whatever. We got along fine, and that's fine. We did have one decent moment of almost-real communication when he drove me to the doctor's (because I am the worst and have no license) and that was cool because he actually talked. Then the next time he took me he basically refused to talk even though I made an effort. Whatever that's okay whatever. Overall it seemed like he was way more chill, way less easily prone to anger, way less selfish. It was good! I was happy for him! I said as much! Then two days ago he moved out randomly without telling anyone. Neither me nor our parents. Awkward? I don't know what happened. He just took all the stuff in his room and left. Weird. And then he snuck back in today and took the router and modem, again without telling anyone. Now, they were his; he paid for them. I have no problem with him claiming his property, as it were. All he had to do was come upstairs and let me know what he was doing, or tell our parents, or SOMETHING, and I wouldn't have even cared beyond a "dang I wish you'd waited a little longer". What the fuck? What an asshole. He knew I'd be on the internet because he knows I'm jobless and licenseless and stuck in my room, and he just fucking did it without saying a goddamn word. The only reason I didn't realize what was happening is because I was watching a movie at the time and it was loud and I wasn't using the internet. I heard him talking and just assumed he'd come upstairs and claim the rest of his stuff (he left a chair and a small table in his room). He was complaining to his friend (who had come with him) about my mom asking him questions about his job. So basically he was complaining about our mom caring about him. And then he was gone. I don't talk to him. I don't even have his phone number. But he fucking made me angry today. The way he was talking reminded me so much of all those times he went into selfish-brat mode, lashing out at people for asking him for anything, be it a favor or a chore or even just basic human communication.
  15. Fair enough. I haven't had problems for a long time, like I said, but it's entirely possible I've just been super lucky.
  16. I've been using MSE for years now and never had a problem! At least not that I'm aware of. D:

  19. Left 4 Thumbs - The Homethumbing 2

    I've been trying to get people to play this with me lately and everyone sucks and won't do it - or, if they do, they quit after we die like five times. It's my fault for wanting to do Expert difficulty runs of the campaign, but it's their fault for being weak babies. ):
  20. Awesome! That's rad. Also you never filled me in on what mods I should use for SS2. ):<

    I don't know if this has been linked before, because there's a lot of information in this thread. But anyway here's another perspective. To sum: police lack accountability. To be honest, I don't feel like I have much right to comment on things, despite piping in a couple times. It's all disgusting to me, and I'm just absorbing it all. But I felt this worth sharing.
  22. Project Godus: Don't believe his lies

    Yeah I'm right there with you. It's a goddamn disgrace!
  23. Project Godus: Don't believe his lies

    I would pretty much kill somebody for a Black & White remaster bundle on Steam or something. Does Lionhead (i.e., Microsoft) own B&W, or does EA? I think EA published those games, right? To Google I go! EDIT: Well this is a website: http://www.develop-online.net/analysis/ip-profile-black-white/0116146 I think from that (and Wiki and others) it's safe to assume MS owns the IP. Hmm.
