I like subtitled anime but I've watched nothing but dubs for years now. I'll have to look thru the available titles and make a list of what I want to watch and try the funimation app for a month. There's an app on my roku for it to which is nice.

Yep. Sigs have been changed to 650x200 max size.

This upgrade is done. Now that I'm thinking about it, the site doesn't actually go offline during upgrades. But it does prevent posting for about a 1-2 minute window. The main issue is the themes. Until I upgrade them (usually takes me about 15-20 mins after the upgrade to upgrade them to the newest versions) some functions like posting or editing could screw up in that window of time. As of now all themes and software are now up to date. Its about time for me to change these background images. I'll change them sometime this weekend.

I looked over my video saves from the last day of the beta and I realized my team of trolls were giving most of our tanks to the enemy team. They'd spawn in them, drive up to an enemy controlled flag and leave them there. Thus the enemy team had an endless supply of light tanks. The tanks are OP. People will say its because players aren't working together to take them out. And yes, they're not. The existing fan base is used to BF3 and BF4 where a single player can run up with C4 and take them out. The majority of casuals out there are not going to work together to destroy them regardless if the ability to do so is there. Because of that we can all search youtube and see and large chunk of bf1 light tank killing sprees, but not a single video of 1 squad actively working together to destroy 2 or more tanks. The artillery on the map to counter the tanks is way to much like Star Wars Battlefront mechanics with the turrets on those maps to destroy walkers. One of the problems I came across was the dynamite not sticking to vehicles. If I could actually dynamite jeep I'd have killed alot more tanks. Hell, if I could have actually had the dynamite stick to the light tanks I could have destroyed them much easier, but by the time I start running away so I don't suicide, the tank started rolling off and the dynamite falls straight down to the ground. I went 17-4 in a light tank at one point but I never edited the video because of all the driving off to repair. The larger tanks are beasts but focusing on the treads disabled them from driving off to self repair which works good, but light tanks are far too nimble and have too small of a hitbox to compensate for their maneuverability. I know Dice already announced it'll be getting nerfed tho. Maybe once support gets the mortar things will be more balanced. Heres the video of the guns I tried out on the last day of the beta. I do like that straight pull bolt action rifle and assault is a beast with that m1918.

Oh well screw that then. lol. I know I wont be playing it that much.

I'll be performing an upgrade in about 30 mins to an hour from now. AC will be down for roughly 15 mins during that time.

I'll play this weekend during the free trial but I doubt I'll pick up the game anytime soon with the backlog of specific games I'm trying to get thru before BF1 launches. If competitive mode is available for these free players I feel bad for you. I could only imagine the trolls that will get on there.

The second video is subtitled. lmao. Alien Abduction pranks are too funny.

I tried doing this tonight and gave up after 10 shots. There was an update tonight and they unlocked all the guns and gadgets available in the beta regardless of class rank and they turned on skill based matchmaking. I played 3 rounds and didn't enjoy it. eh. Endless tanks and snipers. It was fun to try out the new guns but because I was trying out new loadouts I was unskilled in, I got torn apart left and right. x_x The Gewehr .95 sharpshooter is a great gun and the straight pull bolt action works great. For assault class, that m1918 has crazy killing power. That huge magazine blocking the view is beyond annoying but the killing potential of this gun well makes up for it. I think because this was the last night the trolls were out in force. Some guy tried driving the jeep I was in out of bounds to team kill me, another guy on my team kept getting in a plane and kept crashing it into our own tanks. And because of the skill matchmaking, everyone was playing scout and knew to destroy the artillery guns they couldn't hold securely so tanks dominated like crazy. Some guy on my team went 48/6 in one round. The other team always had at least two people with 20+/4 k/d tank players. I tried to play the objective but with nobody to spawn on it was hard. Everyone on my team was playing like Rambo, I'd swap squads and every squad member was all over the map so there was no teamwork. I tried to make a dynamite jeep again and the dynamite still wouldn't stick to the jeep. I played alot of assault and that rocket gun is nice but it needs a buff. Having to go prone to use it against self healing fast light tanks.. its frustrating when I get 3 shots in and the tank just takes off, then I stand up to go chase it and it runs right back towards me like the road runner making fun of the coyote and blasts me with a one hit kill. lol. I did kill 1 tank with that rifle but it did not feel satisfying. Imagine if the RPG in BF3 and BF4 could only be used prone and needed 5 shots to kill a tank. It would be as impractical as this thing is. I'm surprised that we only get 2 AT mines and they don't stay after spawning like they did in BF3 and BF4. I miss that. Overall I enjoyed the beta, even tho this last night wasn't the best. I love sniping but I was looking forward to this game having a large drop off in damage for range. These snipers seem to be able to make long distance shots without problems which encourages more camping. I'd rather see the range reduced more and for more anti tank options for all classes. Whether or not they nerf light tanks, there should be some more anti tank options outside of using the artillery that gets destroyed in 2 hits. I can get 2 hits off on a tank and only do 25% damage, but the tank can hit the artillery, instant kill me and destroy it and then self heal. But nobody can walk right up to the artillery and repair it. I've seen a horse can take more damage than the artillery and still be fine. I never got to try the tankhunter elite class, but from what I read the people that did get it, went off and hid on a cliff to snipe players instead of tanks because the gun gives you 1 hit kills to the body. I loved tanks in BF4 but 3 classes could counter them. Support and Recon both had C4, support had mortars and UCAV, Engineer had RPG, javelin, etc. Assault even had those assault rifle grenades that could kill a jeep with ease and lightly damage tanks. But if only engineers had anti tank capabilities in BF4, tanks would have completely dominated like they do in BF1. I hope the vehicle upgrades actually unlock and aren't part of the basic vehicle loadouts. I loved that in BF3 and BF4. I got a sense of accomplishment when I leveled up my tanks and got a new weapon type or perk unlocked. oh, and spotting felt much more forgiving tonight. I felt like I could easily spot the enemies I was actually looking at now. I was even getting spot bonuses left and right.

Lol. Wow. Manual saving. I haven't done that since KOTOR 1.

Sony officially announced the "PlayStation 4 Pro" today: No longer called the PlayStation Neo, the PS4 Pro will give us 4k gaming and HDR. I don't have a 4K tv so I'm in no rush to get one of these myself. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/09/07/playstation-meeting-2016-introducing-ps4-pro-and-the-slimmer-lighter-ps4/

Well I didn't watch that video on a 4K monitor but it does look nice. I still need to play Mass Effect 1-3.

https://www.humblebundle.com/sierra-bundle This bundle came out over a week ago already. This collection is literally my childhood. I've read that the games play better on GoG.com instead of the steam variations, but if I can get some of these games working correctly I'd love to play King's Quest V again.

Well thats one way to stop the snipers. Ram some planes into that arch and knock it down.

Netflix is making the equivilant of Mythbusters 2. Yay. I've been needing a mythbusters fix and I'm glad these 3 are coming back to entertain us. Source: Deadline

Damn that gun is nice. You had an entire enemy team that didn't know to look up.

I hit rank 18 today I think. I've got my 4 days in too. Now that the timer was removed from Conquest and Rush, conquest has been a hell of a lot more fun. Tanks still seem OP with their self heal and fast fire rate, but people really need to start using the artillery guns located at each of the flags to take them out. They're extremely useful in taking out tanks and attacking the behemoth as I found out tonight. I got another video of my highlights, getting kills with tanks is easy, seat 5 of the behemoth train is completely broken with it's sights (Maybe that was a random glitch) and dynamite jeeps don't work (the dynamite stays hovering in air where it was placed instead of staying stuck to the vehicle). I did get the kill against a behemoth by shooting a constant barrage of artillery shells from the stationary gun. I was playing only assault and medic classes today. I love that DMR rifle on medic, but assault class was even more fun to play. I got a 6 person kill streak a few hours ago and it felt pretty good. I never luck out like this. I kept running right into people with their back to me. I'll get on BF1 again at least one more time if I get the chance to play with someone else online. If not I think I'll start focusing on my game backlog again, I'm getting a bit burned out on this desert map and before I get fully burned out I'll walk away before I start to dislike the map in the full game. One last thing.. I suck horrible at flying. And with nobody spotting enemy planes it just seems like a waste of time for me to even get in one. If I ever do fly planes again it'll be the bomber just so I can bomb some flags and hope for kills or at least try to be beneficial for my team. That might change once we get maps with the zeppelin in the full game tho.

Oh man that gun. If I had that unlocked for medic I wouldn't mind giving up on bolt action rifles for a while. I loved the DMRs in BF4 and I'd have a blast with that. Tanks are OP with the rate of fire and self repair. and the light tank is the most OP because it can go everywhere an infantry can expect inside buildings. And if someone goes in a building, just blow it up. There's nowhere to hide from a light tank. it's a hell of alot to play in but being on the receiving end of a good tank player is demoralizing without having a rocket gun unlocked. I'm going to focus on playing assault and medic today and getting in as many vehicles as possible. The end of the beta was never announced yet but I want to get leveled up to 15 over the next 2 days in case it ends soon.

Yes. The exact same thing happens to me all the time. I can't prone behind cover and snipe someone that has any elevation on me because if I'm right next to a rock wall, rock or dune of some kind my shots will always clip it even thought its a completely perfect line of sight. The only way to get around it is to back away from the wall and become completely exposed.

I had a blast tonight with Strider and my brother. We owned in some conquest. Battlefield games really shine when you have some good friends to play it with. I got some of the highlights from tonight in this video: I stole two kills from Strider. and this one guy seemed almost immortal. Eventually I killed him, then he respawned in the same spot, killed me when I had a failed melee and then I got to see Strider killed him from my corpse view. I caught the suicide plane that tried to ram me and Strider too. lmao. That guy should have killed us. Also, I thru some of my awkward kills in this video. The hitboxes seem to be all over the place IMO. Sure, I'm overshooting sometimes and the bullet goes over a shoulder, but 1 pixel away from the helmet seems a bit much and theres a couple times my shots should have connected but either didn't or hit something in the environment instead.

This map definitely needs more transportation. Its way too much sprinting out in the open. I have to zig zag all over the place to get from one flag to another because if you sprint in a straight line for more than 2 seconds you'll get sniped. btw, I didn't even think about configuring my vehicle loadouts like levelcap is talking about in this video. I could have sworn the driver seat in the one tank for me was a machine gun. I'll have to check the loadout and make sure everything is set for anti tank rounds: That artillery truck... wtf. Its a damn sniping vehicle.

Damn PSN was down for maintenance during the entire 2 hours I could have been playing yesterday. I ended up playing some more of the Killzone campaign (I'm glad killzone only costed me $5, the game looks great but 3 missions in and the plot is very lackluster so far.) Awesome video. You're really getting the hang of the bullet drop and lead distance. I bet you were pissing them off bad. I like that ridge, keep climbing it on the side all the way to F and you can snipe that entire flag from some good height. Tanks are OP. I really like the Landship and the side turrets being so strong really encourage people to ride shotgun on these. The main gun for the driver is a machine gun I think and that blows because if you don't have a decent person in a side turret to attack other tanks you wont survive a tank vs tank encounter. My brother was driving the tank in this video and he managed to flip it twice. These large treads being exposed on the top let him flip us back upright. The grapeshot is OP against infantry. Once the full game is released I bet half these ammo types and self repair will be locked via progression like reactive armor and sabot shell are on BF4.

I need that dynamite. So it is a bug for the classes. Its annoying, I'm level 5 now but my scout class I've been playing almost exclusively is still at zero and I can't unlock any of the better sniper rifles. Theres only 1 I can currently buy with warbonds and its for short to mid range. Is there a way to upgrade the specific classes that I'm missing out on? I didn't like that battlefront system relying on the party system but it looks like thats what DICE is going with now. From what I understand their new system will let people swap between different battlefield games while staying in the same party. But who the hell will want to actively switch between different battlefield games or have friends that actually kept older BF games installed? I'd rather see the regular join on a friend option. Back in BF4 it was nice to jump in a game, see my brother was on, click on multiplayer and join the server hes in and surprise him when I jumped in his squad. Now if I even want to get into a game hes on I have to make a PSN party and invite him, then wait for his round to finish so I can join in on a fresh match because I don't get the option to join the server hes currently in. I turned VOIP off immediately. lmao. I can't stand listening to people. That and I sometimes talk in a very criticizing tone to people who drive tanks like ass and I don't want to be that annoying guy everyone hears.
