  1. Return of the Steam Box!

    I've been using mine for the past hour or so. Figured I'd test it on Game of Thrones, since that's about to wrap up and I've been wanting to play it. I dunno if my controller is busted, or what, but man using the right pad as a simulated gamepad is fucked. You have to start from the center and then slide in the direction you desire, which is fine, I got used to that (even if the "center" feels a little off to me, somehow), but what I DON'T like is how if I slide to the bottom right, the controller goes fucking haywire and, at least in Game of Thrones, the cursor will jump from the bottom right corner all the way to the top right corner. If I run my thumb around the edge of the pad, it keeps track of it in all directions EXCEPT the bottom right. It also seems to move slower in the bottom right direction than it does other directions. Basically bottom right is really wonky and it made one of the early QTEs in Game of Thrones INCREDIBLY awkward, as I died like ten times on something that I never would've failed with a normal controller (and CERTAINLY with a mouse)... I've acclimated to the issue, but that doesn't mean it's not an issue. --- The Link, however, is incredible. Been playing it on my TV. I've got it plugged in with ethernet, and there are no perceptible lag issues (though that's part of why I picked Game of Thrones, because I figured it wouldn't be an issue), except for when the game loads a new scene, but that's... common to the way many game engines load, so it's not a problem. Just produces a minor skip in the audio playing across scenes. Actually now that I bring it up, I wonder if there IS a lag issue... No, that doesn't seem right. It's incredibly consistently bottom right, and no other direction has had this problem. CONTROLLER SUCKS!!!
  2. the theme is ladders WORST NEW PAGE POST OF MY LIFE here's a quote of spenny's useful post: the theme is still ladders tho!

  4. Other podcasts

    Haha, that's fair. I listen to and watch a lot of British junk, so I've become well acclimated.
  5. Other podcasts

    I like The Allusionist from Radiotopia. It's about words and etymology.
  6. Other podcasts

    Please continue to recommend any and all Fictional Radio Show style podcasts they are my favorite. The recent Limetown recommendation was spot on. More! I HUNGER! ps a podcast about anime: http://www.keyframespodcast.com/ thread where it started: https://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/10013-ouran-boast-club-planning-an-anime-podcast/
  7. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    hahaha wow
  8. Sports

    Oh! Neat. I think I could like baseball if I want so busy doing other things.
  9. Sports

    Wait so he hit the ball, and just stood there watching it because he knew it'd be a home run? I don't watch sports, or baseball, but that's pretty badass.
  10. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Well after losing Quiet it sort of killed my will to play the game. I know it's the unpopular opinion, but I vastly prefer her to D-Dog (for any mission that's Big And Open, anyway, I won't use her for infiltrating a mansion, for example). I might go back and play or I might just watch that stuff on YouTube...
  11. Let's discuss what a video game is

    giphy has provided the answer /giphy game Thread Is Dead
  12. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    have i what??? i didn't know this was a thing?!?? The game literally never broadcasted such a thing to me. I did rescue all but one of those guys.
  13. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    So. My number one question, having now seen all of the story content (as far as I know):
  14. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    So I beat this video game. What.
  15. Other podcasts

    i was gonna plug key frames since i think people just habitually ignore the actual thread at this point but it's not an sjw podcast at all so i'll just leave......
  16. Forum threads are horrendous for organizing anything without very specific structure. Conversations start and end with nothing being resolved, comments and questions are ignored unless brought up multiple times, etc.
  17. Hey! We're gonna try to catch up on our editing backlog and also be better about regularly releasing! Here's my first attempt at editing! codi did most of the work, I just cleaned up. It's an effort to learn so one guy doesn't bear all the responsibility! http://www.keyframespodcast.com/podcast/04-taste-the-rain-the-garden-of-words/ (direct download link)
  18. I Had A Random Thought...

    i have a new avatar this is another good one imo
  19. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Neat! When I get back to the game I'll do that, then, thanks.
  20. Monster Factory

    Seriously yeah, I watched the Bloodborne one yesterday (posted in Slack everybody join!!), I about died! I need to watch the rest of them, now.
  21. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Heh. I might kick all the Bad Dudes, assuming that's something I can easily sort-find, 'cause I have like a thousand dudes.
  22. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    I have never manually kicked anyone in mgs5. I just let it auto-kick people. I'm assuming it kicks the lowest skilled soldiers, and even if it doesn't, I don't know if I care enough. My facility levels are slowly rising without me even doing anything. I fulton EVERYBODY.
  23. Dota 2 - Summer 2016 Roster Shuffles

    Why would anyone root for any team that houses Arteezy? What a reprehensible human being.
  24. Listen I have great nostalgia for Super Mario 64. But Super Mario Sunshine is a beautiful game. I'd love to see a proper sequel to that. Bring FLUDD back! It added so much to the game. Hell, if you want, just make it a new game. Like a proper Splatoon spinoff or something, it'd work pretty well there, thematically speaking, to have an ink jetpack or something. GRRRR. NINTENDO.
  25. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    I relatively frequently use the fly-in to take out other helicopters for the later side-ops. Also I used the chopper exclusively for S-ranking the OSP version of that one where you have to destroy all the air radars or whatever! But yeah I did really enjoy the Hideo rescue mission, it's a shame there's nothing like it.
