Drowsy Emperor

You are King Cailan and I claim my £5. Who?

That's why I bought a mechanical keyboard, except these are nowhere near the standards that IBM used to have.

I got so angry I slammed my keyboard, which is something I never do. I got angry because the keycap on my 100$ Steelseries 6GV2 keyboard broke off. It broke of because the caps are made with imprecise tolerances and have a tendency to pop off due to the strong springs of the switches. The A key was so weak it popped off several times today during TF2. I replaced it properly each time and it finally popped off again and broke. I'm not abusive with my things (I hate people who vent their frustration on mice and keyboards), but I expect the damn things to work for the money I put into them. My 7 year old generic MS keyboard still works well. I recommend none of you ever buy anything Steelseries if you can help it. I will keep you updated on what their customer service tells me.

I can only imagine the rage on BSN if they announced no romance in a game. I'd be back there in a second to watch the Armageddon commence. It would be glorious. It has just occurred to me how ridiculous it is for a social justice warrior company like Bioware to make a game where the main character is an inquisitor. Or perhaps they're perfect for the role.

The burning question is, how much time will I have in game before a male party member hits on my male PC.

There were no sex scenes in BGII just the fade to black and that was that. You either participated in the "relationship" for the in game dialog or didn't and you got a little epilogue post ToB for your trouble. That was better. In other words they were better before they became a feature. Now they're obnoxious, made for the type of people who peruse tentacle hentai and have inflatable dolls of their favorite anime characters.

Welcome back. What a breath of fresh air, considering what a holy cow this game is. And it's too expensive. One for the heresy thread, perhaps, but I for one am inclined to agree. Its a Fallout thing. I always liked the idea of a post apocalyptic RPG but the pseudo 50's and the turn based combat weren't my cup of tea. I can't really relate to the former and the latter was too bothersome after getting used to Infinity engine games. I did play through the entire series though, including a bit of F3 and FNV. So I look at Wasteland 2 without ounce of nostalgia. And I'm reminded of the few Fallout knock offs that were made in the early 2000's. It doesn't have to suck but Pillars of Eternity is much more attractive to me. ...LOL the game is 45 euros on Steam? What? Those are some high system requirements

You're never going to get a KDR like that with the Pyro, its just not how the class plays. Its theoretically possible but unlikely considering how close you have to be to get a kill. That sort of engagement is way too risky to run constantly, even inept players can fire a rocket properly at close range sometimes. I think my record is 24 kills in a single life, although I've beaten that with the demoman. When I said tougher classes I meant those that had more HP and could spam their primary. A soldier is very straight-forward. A demoman is almost trivial to play in the chaos of a pub game. The Spy is difficult to play well, most players are dead giveaways. Then again, my perception might be skewered because of the class I play so I generally hunt them rather then the other way around. Now the Sniper is generally easy to play, but I've run into so many players that are zoomed in all the time and focused or something else that they never see me coming I couldn't help but think they'd be better served by playing a class that isn't so specialized. But yeah, the Pyro is hard to play well. You have to be on the top of your game constantly because the only thing you're good at (close range combat) is where everyone else can actually defend themselves. I enjoy that tension. I play the Medic and the Engineer to relax afterwards.

I need to find some TF2 servers with better players. Its no fun killing noobs. It got ridiculous at some point, I was on this server and my entire team was snipers and spies. I **** you not. All the noobs think snipers and spies = easy kills with little risk. Rubbish of course, both classes die in droves when played by poor players, unlike the tougher classes. I thought we were going to be destroyed. It turned out the other team was just as bad although they had better composition. I was waiting for them by the spawn and they literally went in single file over a bridge, and I lined up my flamer behind the heavy and burned five of them at once. The ensuing confusion was glorious,everyone turning around to see where the fire is coming from but obstructed by the heavy until the end because he had more health than all of them. Of course, I only dared to do this because of how bad they were, it takes far too long to flame a heavy to death and a good one with shred you in a second. I ended up winning another match on my own, taking the final control point while my comrades, all of them spies and snipers were god knows where, probably on the other side of the map. I hold no illusions though, the few times I played with what to me look like pro players I was barely able to hold my own and got my ass handed to me more than once. Playing the pyro is too much fun. There is nothing like reflecting a Demoman's grenade or Soldier's rocket at close range and to see them explode to gibs.

I recalled it being pretty bugged and not easy in the first place either.

What's the current opinion on Wasteland 2 development? Has anyone been following it closely? I've been watching some youtube vids and the game looks like a Russian Fallout 2 knock-off. Confusing UI design, ****ty art direction, 2003 graphics. Frankly if I didn't know who was making this I wouldn't give it a second glance.

There are 12 straight options, 30 gay guys for buggering, 41 lesbians, 57 transsexuals, 1 table and we're still not sure if the sheep from Arcanum is gonna make it to the party or not. Wow you talk about hyperbole. Do you have an issue with Romance options for gay fans of the game? You seem to be making a big about the fact that Bioware takes the issue of Romance inclusivity seriously? No. Took a page out of Volo's book for this one.

I find you abundance of faith in BW disturbing

If it were the latter I think the Bioware inquisition would have already turned it to kindling

more important: they better all be romanceable, or there will be hell to pay. HA! Good Fun! If the cow man, or the the woman on the left is romanceable, how do we classify that. Or are those helmets

The burning question is... Are there any straight people in that pic?

Jesus and his Apostles at the Last Supper? If previous titles are anything to go with it will more likely be the Last Days of Caligula. You make me laugh lil' buddy

I heard only good stuff about new Wolfenstein. After long time FPS focused on Single Player mode. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/04/preview-confronting-nazi-horror-in-wolfenstein-the-new-order/ Didn't know they were going single player only. That may actually end up being good.

Achievement unlocked: Slaughtered hahahahahahahhhaahhahahahahh 2 gold for a boss hahahhahahahahah

Dunno why you're excited for it, I can't tell games of this type apart. They all look same and play same, like Rune from ten years ago. Its the lack of fluid animation and reaction that kills this type of game for me. The guy hit him with a maul and the boss didn't even move. Also a man in full plate mail rolling around just looks silly. I'm not saying its a bad game, just this type of experience is no longer for me, its too... gamey.

I haven't seen an anime that tops it in visual quality, but then I prefer realistic drawing to real anime and Jin Roh leans towards the former heavily.

I mean the story and the visuals and world exploration. The actual stealth mechanic was crap.

A decent anime film, preceded by a manga called Kerberos saga. It created the armor-with gas mask and glowing eyes that was later ripped off by helghast troops in Killzone and everyone else.

DX HR was far too easy. On top of that the stealth could be quite ridiculous at times since the enemies can plainly "see" you but don't react at all. The endgame was poor. On the other hand the design, the beginning and the middle were a lot of fun.
