    I'm putting my faith in Lord Faren to save the day. j/k. I doubt this episode will give us the Lake Doric map, but it looks like we'll get a new map in between DR and Harathi Hinterland.

    This is a repost. *locking*

    I agree about that. It doesn't matter how much training he was doing solo or even in the gym, with only a couple of actual pro matches for experience he should have gotten his ass handed to him in that end fight. A Mr. T cameo would have been amazing.

    1 more week of Guild Wars 2 pvp and this ranked season will finally be over. I've been enjoying it but I'm burned out on the 3 games per day meta. As it is now I only have 14 more days out of the 60 day requirement, most of which I plan on finishing up next season. Unless they introduce a new legendary back piece in pvp sometime this year I'll probably quit it altogether after next season. Anet has far more misses than hits for enjoyment in pvp and I have the feeling this season was the diamond in the rough for me. On another note, I'm about 40% done with Rise of the Tomb Raider and once I get that finished I'll be staring the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time. :D

    Software is being upgraded right now on the server. Expect 15 minutes to 1 hour of downtime shortly. I'll update this topic when it is completed. (edit) The upgrade has been completed.

    That Junkrat player. I like how Mei is front and center with the new skin on the trailer because of all the complaints about her winter skin being a color job.

    Dragon's Stand is probably the longest meta event in the game as of right now and I took a video of it the other day if anyone wants to see the chain of events that leads to one of the largest world bosses in a MMORPG. Or if you want to skip right to the boss, go to the 52 minute mark. Normally this boss takes alot longer to beat as it destroys the islands we stand on, but the TTS guild is damn good at destroying it quickly.

    Sounds like a good title to me. The movie is going to pick up right where the last movie ended. http://www.starwars.com/news/the-official-title-for-star-wars-episode-viii-revealed

    I hate 3rd party sellers on amazon. I ordered a handful of pokemon cards for a friend and regretted it. They all were from different sellers, no tracking information and 2 of the cards never came. I had to email the seller, got no reply after 48 hours and had to do a claim for a refund through amazon. I got the refund for those immediately which was nice. But it makes me never want to buy from a 3rd party on there again. The seller wasn't even shady. Had 4 out of 5 stars for the last six months and then they just stopped doing business that week with no notice.

    I looked into the Wii U Smash Bros game to see if any characters are locked behind amiibos and they aren't. The amiibos when used in smash bros only unlock their AI controlled characters and have stats independent from the regular AI characters that can be leveled up and transferred back to the amiibo. Sounds interesting because you could have that more powerful amiibo on your team but at the same time I don't see how they could be too much more powerful to make any significant difference. I never looked into amiibo as much as I did last night. Pretty much every amiibo either unlocks a skin for that character or it enables an AI controlled character in the game or it unlocks a larger DLC, like the Twilight Princess wolf link unlocks a dungeon in TP. I could be wrong but think the only toys that unlock characters in any game are the Disney Infinity (closing in march) and Skylanders toys for their own respective titles, both of which are their own versions of amiibos and a separate scanning device. And it looks like Lego uses toy DLC too now with the Lego Dimensions game.

    I'm assuming the switch will use the same Amiibo as the Wii U, but then again it might not. The Switch is going to be region free but all the current amiibo are region locked (at least I think they are). If so they might not be compatible and it'll give Nintendo the excuse to make a brand new line of them that will force people to buy the same amiibos all over again. I looked at that Wolf Link amiibo again and it looks like it has to be synced up with the twilight princess game first before it'll do anything for breath of the wild. Nintendo technically locked a dlc item behind a physical purchase and the purchase of a second game. wtf.

    RIP Ragnar. This season is decent so far but could have been better than the last season if we'd have gotten some major fight scenes. Just when that huge Viking army was about to slaughter all those english men.. the scene changes to the aftermath. wtf. No big viking battle? ehhh. We all know Lagertha will be killed off at some point and when she does I don't know how well the series will continue after that. Floki makes no sense to me now. He killed Athelstan because of his religion and he wants to kill all christians and anyone else that doesn't have the same beliefs as himself.. but then he comes across a bunch of muslims and he doesn't want to kill any of them. Seems out of character to me.

    Knowing how Nintendo is with their (intentional, imo) limited hardware supply issues I bet preordering a switch at this point will be very difficult since a large majority of them will be getting flipped for resale on ebay like NES classic. That pro controller looks overpriced to me. I was wondering if there was some special feature about it that makes it more advanced than the standard xbox 360 controller it looks like to justify the price and the only big difference I've seen is that it has built in amiibo functionality. wtf. Amiibo is the shittiest thing to me. Watch the next Mario Kart (not the port of mario kart 8) have all their characters locked behind amiibo purchases. As if I didn't hate DLC as it is, you have to buy the physical toys for a minimum of $3 a piece to unlock the digital characters. So I looked up to see if the new zelda has amiibo and yes it does: While having the wolf link join as an ally is cool, I hate the idea of having dlc tied behind physical shit that is always in limited supply and resold on ebay. wtf. Sell that crap digitally Nintendo. Oh.. and it looks like all the skins for the mario kart 8 port will also use amiibo: Nintendo is king of piece mealing out their products. I looked at this page and it looks like the individual charging cables for the joycons give them 2 extra buttons a piece. I don't see the individual cables for sale on this page so I'm assuming the switch will come with 2 cables for charging them. Or none at all and they'll have to be charged via the docking station. http://www.nintendo.com/switch/buy-now/

    lmao. I must not have paid attention to this trailer when it was shown on the stream.

    I hear that. I loved my gamecube at the time. All the first party games sucked me in, especially mario kart. I swear I put more time into Mario Kart than any other RPG at the time. A new Mario Kart is one of the reasons I'd want to buy a switch but theres been no mention of it yet. I won't rush out to buy the switch mostly because of the current price. Like what DX was saying, Nintendo cut costs to keep that $300 price tag. If you want a joycon grip that charges them while you play, thats an extra purchase because the one that comes with it doesn't charge them. They'll only charge when connected to the switch. Want a pro controller to play on instead, thats an extra $75. Want actual storage for the Switch? It only comes with 13 gb and the system only uses expensive micro sd cards. wtf. Theres another expense. Aside from Zelda theres no other game I want to play on it at launch. I'll wait on buying it. I bought the PS4 at launch for BF4 and aside from that game my PS4 collected far too much dust until another game I wanted came out. I don't think I'll buy another console at launch again. On a side note, my younger brother is exited about the switch coming out because it'll drop the price on the Wii U quite a bit. Hes planning on buying one of those and a collection of games for his kids to play. Makes sense to me.. I always wanted another Mario Kart but I haven't looked into the Wii U in years. I might pick up one of them at some point if a bundle price drops substantially and it comes with a non nunchuck controller.

    Looking at this again on a good monitor and I can see the differences much easier now. The switch version does have much better textures and Link's shadow actually changes based on the grass its being cast on, while on the wii u the shadows look blocky and have no depth. Its a nice improvement but nothing as significant as an increase in graphic quality like the PS4 was to the PS3. Once the system gets released I'd like to see a comparison video of Skyrim on PS4 compared to the Switch. I like what Nintendo is doing with the Switch, but I get this feeling that they should have put more power into it. The PS4 has been out for years now and is probably more powerful than the switch and costs the same price at $299.

    I thought I posted a trailer for this before but I can't find it. This movie looks amazing to me. I must watched this dubbed when it comes out.

    I bet all it'll do is turn off all the background apps that Windows 10 loves to re-enable after random windows updates. https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/14/windows-10-game-mode-is-near/

    lol. Rey's face when the arm gets torn off.
  22. Sledgstone
    I don't see a huge difference. It looks a bit crisper and smoother on the switch. If I was to guess, I bet the game was initially made for the Wii U and then ported to the switch with some upgrades to it. Nintendo did the same thing with twilight princess. It was the best looking game on the gamecube, but looked almost identical on the Wii, except for that on the Wii version the entire game was mirrored because Link is left handed but with the majority of players being right handed they mirrored it so everyone could flail their arms around like they're really sword fighting. The fact that Link is again right handed in this game means theres going to be more arm flailing with wii and switch controls. That crap better be completely optional. x_x

    I got my new monitor today. Holy crap IPS makes a difference. With a visa checkout discount I got this one for $84 today:

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-h6-series-23-ips-led-hd-monitor-black/4751006.p?skuId=4751006

    Only 1080p and 60Hz refresh rate but damn its nice. With this monitor and my gtx 1060 I'll be able to play every game on ultra for the foreseeable future as long as my cpu can handle it.

    Everyone knows we'll all take it into the bathroom so we don't have to pause any game from now on. I'm just glad there isn't a built in camera.
  25. Sledgstone
    I really don't know what to think of this game.. when I saw it last night I was intrigued with some of the level designs. But looking back and seeing Mario looking like a cartoon character in a real world environment and making little dust clouds when he ran, wearing cartoon gloves, having an awkward size body compared to everyone else. It looks way too inspired by Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam.
