Damn that looks epic. When it was rumored to be in WWI. Everyone was expecting this: And instead we get: Nobody thought it'd be this damn good looking.

@DeathscytheX Whats the largest creature you've seen in the game so far? I read that the biggest creatures, dinosaur sized, can be found closer to the center of the galaxy. Alot of people are wondering if anything really big even exists in the game. I've seen a few screenshots of a few large monsters, but nothing even close to skyscraper size or even remotely close to that giant sand worm from the trailer.

I saw this article on my local news this morning stating that Trump is losing NY by 30 points now. He says the media is corrupt and hes only going to lose if the system is rigged. The thing is tho hes really loosing NY because he has no presence here. I've seen numerous Clinton commercials over the last month and I've gotten 3 phone calls from the DNC asking for donations and support. But there has been absolutely zero pro Trump commercials. Nothing from super pacs or from his own campaign. And those commercials against trump are pretty damning to his credibility. I know Trump says the media is corrupt but unless he actually pays the media companies for commercial time hes setting himself up for a loss. I'm actually starting to think he wants to loose on purpose at this point. If he has no interest in even trying to win his home state I don't see how hes going to win this election at all. Its so odd to see more commercials from my local republican representative trying to win his re-election and not see a single commercial for someone running for president.
-
Honestly he'd be wasting time in NY. Republicans never win there, and probably never will again. NY and CA for Democrats is like the south for Republicans. He has to win Ohio, Florida, Virginia and NC to win. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/pow-its-just-a-2-point-race-clinton-38-trump-36/article/2599471 polling data is all over the place, but everything could change one way or the other with the debates.
-
NY has voted democratic for i think the last 9 presidential elections. I figured if any republican had a chance at flipping it, it would have been trump. But it looks like he's ignoring this state, at least for now. This could easily turn into a tied race at any point. I agree that the debates will be huge deciding factors for alot of ppl.
-
He has the best chance, and it would be a killing blow to Hillary to win NY. I don't see it happening. I want to say Reagan was the last to win NY and CA for that matter.

I just beat StarCraft II Legacy of the Void. It was a great campaign and it ended well. Where the story went wasn't what I was expecting. With how it ended I doubt we'll get a StarCraft 3. I hope Blizzard doesn't MMO this game and screw up it's lore. Compared to Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm, Legacy of the Void wasn't the most enjoyable. I definitely liked HoTS better. But I also can't play Protoss worth a damn unless I have a crap ton of carriers.
-
Pfft, at the rate I'm going I won't beat it until next year

If they eventually make a SC3, I'd like to see a fourth race introduced like how the undead army was added to Warcraft 3. They could bring the new species in from another galaxy or from the outer rim worlds or something.
Theres one plot hole I was surprised wasn't touched upon. At one point in HoTS, Kerrigan made a special queen to take over a Protoss ship and lost contact with it. The last time we saw that queen she was still on that Protoss ship spawning an army and was on it's way to Aiur to wage war against the Protoss. I kept expecting a mission to come up with us having to deal with that ship but it never happened.
-
According to the plot summary on the SC wiki the ship is pretty much forgotten after that point (according to the ships profile it was left adrift). We can assume that they are either still adrift (Zerg don't have the means to use Protoss tech) or they fell under the control of Amon and were one of the millions of Zerg you slaughter through the LotV campaign. It's stated that the crew of the ship was unable to send any word to Shakuras (where they were heading) before the larvae spawned and killed the crew so it's extremely unlikely that Artanis even knows what happened and considering the dire circumstance you find yourself in throughout the game it's pretty unlikely that he would of even had the time to deal with it (I mean the poor guy is leading the remnants of his people in a war against a god-like being who can turn his own people against him).
While a fourth race would be interesting (considering all three races are currently at peace) I don't know if they'd go that far with this (I mean I'd of loved to see the Xel'naga be playable but we both know that isn't possible). Who knows what they'll do but I'd still like to see a game based on the Aeon of Strife, it'd not only be a game focused completely on my favorite race but it'd give us a chance to see how Protoss society collapsed upon itself.

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Official Teaser Trailer
Sledgstone replied to Sledgstone's topic in Movies, TV & Books
That looks great. -
I got the huge anniversary update on my PC last night. This update was so big it took over 1 hour to install with numerous auto resets. It went on for so long, I turned off my monitor and went to sleep after 50 mins and it was only at 40 something percent done. It might have taken as long to update as it did to upgrade from win 7 to win 10. The only noticable difference I see is the start menu now loads with all apps when clicked like windows 7 used to. That and my search function has been replaced with a cortana circle symbol because it apparently can't be turned off anymore. I can still click the circle and search like normal without ever giving cortana permission for anything so its ok I suppose. I'm more interested in getting this update done on my laptop to see if it fixes my audio issue so I don't have to manually turn on my headphones when I plug them in.

I finished watching Fringe this past weekend. What a unique show. The first 2 seasons is it's own version of X-Files (without alien stuff), the 3rd and 4th seasons then becomes an espionage thriller, and the final season time skips 20 years and becomes a resistance series where the team has to defeat a powerful enemy. lol. Combine all that with a couple soft resets because of changes in the timeline, an alternate universe with duplicates of people, crazy technology and a handful of individuals with mutant like powers and it definitely makes the show an odd yet interesting experience. I highly recommend it as its a great show to marathon.
The final season probably shouldn't have been made tho but it does finish some of the plot lines not resolved in the season 4 finale. Netflix does screw up a bit. They put an unaired episode into season 1 at a completely wrong moment that broke up the season finale in such a way that I had to google search wtf was going on.
-
I hear that. I don't look at vg247 nearly as much as I used to. There are so many pointless articles just to get page views. Blizzard might not make an Overwatch 2 for another 10 years. They could just keep adding characters and maps indefinitely. But to keep making money off it they'll probably sell more and more character and weapon skins either directly or thru rng loot boxes. They could treat it like WoW and release a paid expansion for it that unlocks a campaign. They could do that for every hero in the game and milk this initial title for the next decade.

I passed on buying Battleborn for PC after reading some of the reviews. The PC version is apparently a port of the console game and has bugs that have yet to be fixed. It can be played solo but many missions will take upwards of 1-2 hours to beat, but if teamed up with people the same missions could take only 20-30 minutes and population on PC is crap. The last review I saw said that if you have limited time to play don't expect to be able to save the game halfway thru a mission and then resume because the game will make you start the mission over which kills the solo aspect for me if the missions could take me more than an hour. I figure it'll go free to play by november at this rate. The same thing happened to Defiance a few years ago and I'm completely expecting it with battleborn at this rate. I actually saw quite a few commercials for the game on tv and online. But they screwed themselves with their launch date. The same thing happens in the movie industry all the time too. I really don't understand why they didn't just change the release date to give themselves a better chance. Titanfall 2 releasing around the same time as BF1 is dumb. I know I won't buy it on launch specifically for this reason and depending on the reviews it gets, all launch day hype for it could easily be destroyed and drastically cut into it's sales.

Holy crap that is alot of negatives. Space trucking must be extremely fun to put up with all that.

I guess I lucked out against mortars. In all the hundreds of hours I've played bf3 and bf4 I've only been killed by a mortar maybe 5-7 times. I assumed nobody used it because they thought it was to weak. I remember getting into a mortar battle in bf4 once. Some guy must have gotten pissed off with me for killing at least 10 ppl in a round with it and busted out his own mortar. We killed each other twice with mortars that round but he eventually gave up when I destroyed his mortar 3 times in a row. Along with a UCAV in bf4 the mortar was OP on open maps. I still find it amazing that these 2 gadgets can be equipped simultaneously. The UCAV and mortar were both nerfed since I took this video. The UCAV now takes a full 90 seconds to spawn the initial ammo for it and mortar starts off with no ammo to to also prevent mass killing, then suicide and respawning for instant full killing potential.

I've been playing SC2 again with ultra settings and damn this game looks great. I finally got to a campaign mission that unlocks Protoss Carriers and I took a quick video of them in action. I need to get a new widescreen monitor. Maybe during black friday later this year. Even at ultra settings the game only topped out at using 2.7 gb of the 6 gb my gtx 1060 has. I need to find a decent video editing software like the sharefactory on PS4.

That was some great junkrat footage. That Winston ultimate straight up launches people. Thats hilarious. Do you get lucky and throw people off ledges with it often? I saw this the other day: http://gizmodo.com/this-usb-hub-gives-your-ps4-and-xbox-superpowers-1784772207 I hate when people cheat. Hopefully a future ps4 update will allow it to detect this and block it. And this guy is actively enjoying his cheating. Even if Sony doesn't block this device, it shouldn't be difficult for Blizzard to detect mouse and keyboard accuracy. If Blizzard sees it has abusing the system they won't hesitate to ban everyone using one of these.
-
That mortar better be an actual support class item and not a battle pickup. As long as it is, I'll mortar the hell out of people. I loved the mortar in BF3 and BF4. So many people undervalued it, but I got plenty of kills with it. Of course that could change with the lack of enemies showing up on the mini map now unless they are spotted. But I'm going to assume the range is alot less and it might actually be fired with line of sight only or blind firing. It'll be interesting to see how the interface will be without the mini screen used to aim like in the previous games.

Wow. A $500 digital camera with insane optical zoom.

I'm not even interested in VR games at this time. I haven't had an ocular migraine in over 6 months and I have a bad feeling that VR will trigger the hell out of those for me. x_x I see and hear such a huge difference from dvd to blu ray. For me the biggest difference was the audio. The Blu-ray lossless audio makes a massive difference with my surround sound. It often sounds like I'm in a theater in my own living room.. at least once I finally figured out the right settings on my PS3 to decode the dolby signal correctly. For the first 2 years of owning a ps3/blu ray player my audio was a simulated surround sound. Then I found out I could change a couple settings and boom! Theater audio. lol. But I only hear the massive improvement in audio when I'm playing a blu ray, because dvd's audio quality is crap in comparison. I still haven't tested my PS4 in my living room, but I read that the audio decoders on it aren't as good as the PS3s. I'll test it one of these days. Probably when BF1 launches. PS3 is the best blu ray player ever imo just because of it's audio decoders. I agree about the future of consoles. If they're going to make upgraded versions of them again like back in the Sega Genisis days, they should make the next generation of consoles with easy access panels to swap out GPUs. But then again with the newest generation of USB, it should be completely plausible to make new GPU add ons that simply plug into a recessed USB port on the back on the consoles to instant upgrade the GPUs with no hardware modifications.

Are the credits only earnable in-game? Or is it a microtransaction game?

I loved this game back on PS2. Its free at the moment through amazon for android devices. I went ahead and claimed a free copy just now so when I eventually get a tablet or an emulator for PC, I'll play it again. I doubt I'll ever play this on my phone since its a 70+ hour game and I don't want to kill my phone's battery life.

4k console gaming isn't going to look amazing like it would on pc. Even with a GTX 1070 ($400 card atm) 4k games will only run at around 30-60 fps often with some settings like reflections or shadows turned down or off. For a ps4 4k (at $400 or less), I bet whatever gpu they use will only manage 30 fps with everything at medium settings and no reflections. I don't see how we'll get an amazing improvement in console gaming by jumping to 4k at this point. Sure the 4k tv owners will see a much crisper image instead of seeing the game poorly upscaled like a DVD on a 1080p tv. But depending on the price of the 4k ps4 I doubt I'll have any real incentive to buy one unless my current ps4 somehow breaks on me.

I haven't been following Xbox products and I was surprised to see this one. I thought it was the new upgraded Xbox.. it is but it isn't. It's basically the Xbox One Slim. Its 40% smaller, larger hard drive, 4k bluray player and HDR video. Theres still another upgraded Xbox coming out in the near future that should allow 4k gameplay. This slim version is what I envisioned the initial Xbox One would have been. But instead they released that mandatory camera system with it and refused to make bluray movies play on the system unless you download an app. Probably because sony owns bluray tech. The Xbox One S came out just yesterday and now I'm wondering how much longer it'll be before we see a PS4 slim and if it'll have extra features. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one-s Reference to the bluray thing: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/apps/dvd-blu-ray-setup

I'm loving this map mostly because its a new map and there is no overall meta to do. Its completely casual yet enjoyable in a group. As long as I can get the node, even if the map dies from population eventually, it'll be an easy way to get ascended rings and back pieces thanks to farming the node daily without ever having to go back into the map except to see the vendor once a month or so.

Rebel Galaxy looks interesting. I'll play it one of these days once I get through some of my game backlog.

As long as I launch Guild Wars 2 with Steam I can stream it to my laptop in ultra settings over my wifi.
The input lag is less than when my laptop runs the game by itself. lol. I'll try launching origin and battlenet thru steam and see if I can stream my Starcraft 2 or origin games onto my laptop later this week. Buying that graphics card was like buying a gaming laptop at the same time thanks to steam in home streaming. -
How is the female armor in dark souls? Is it all boob plate or cleavage or can you deck out your character in some heavy plate gear to look like a huge mass of metal?
