J R Smith got "MVP" chants tonight.

I didn't mind Oby that much. His posts were completely ludicrous and borderline incomprehensible, but they were entertaining. Qistina, on the other hand, posted with all the ludicrous anti-west propaganda of a Oby post, but with much more vitriol and none of the entertainment value. I've only been here 6 years, so I got to witness some... interesting stuff, but missed much of the stuff of legend the old timers talk about.

It's a MMO-ish third-person action game where you play a space ninja. It's sort of like Destiny, except it's f2p and it has way more content, on account of being out much longer.

I got the Vulkar sniper rifle in Warframe and hot diggity I freakin' love this gun. Like any sniper rifle, it is super garbage at close range, but that's what I have a sidearm and a melee weapon for. Small magazine, as expected, but the rate of fire isn't as slow as I imagined and the damage output is tremendous. At max magnification the headshot damage bonus means 1 shot kills on pretty much anyone (headshot bonus is higher on higher scope magnification).

They probably sell them in Japan, I mean, it's Japan, but I've been unable to find any online, otherwise I'd have several. As an aside, she recently signed with WWE and will presumably be stateside and on TV over here in the near future. My stalking totally respectful and not in any way creepy fandom is about to get that much easier.

@TrueNeutral - It's not a furry body pillow, but I'll let it slide.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction to mod my Archwing, marelooke. I may have never figured that out on my own, it's not exactly intuitive... It's Not Exactly Intuitive should be the title of the Warframe documentary they make sometime in the future. I did a couple Gift of the Lotus missions last night. I got an Orokin Reactor blueprint (that makes 3 now) from one of them and a Forma from the other. Now I'm back to grinding for plastids on Phobos. I've leveled up my current set enough that once I get enough plastids I'll go back to Jupiter to push on and unlock the next area. My current long term goal is to unlock Sedna so that I can get the component blueprints for the Saryn warframe which I already have a blueprint for. I have several more sectors to work through to get there, so that's a ways off.

Every single one of those games you listed, while published by Bethesda, were NOT developed by Bethesda. There needs to be a distinction between Bethesda the publisher and Bethesda the developer. Bethesda the publisher (and their parent company ZeniMax), while engaging in some... questionable business practices, has published quite a few good and great games recently. Bethesda the developer hasn't produced a truly good game since 2007 IMHO.

^ Thanks for the heads up. By the way, how do you mod your archwing? Am I missing a segment on my ship? I can't seem to do it from the Arsenal.

90 is... okay. 75-80 is where it's at.

^ Thanks, marelooke. I play mostly solo. I don't have any particular questions right now, but I'm sure I will in the future. Right now I'm grinding the Jackal boss fight on Fossa trying to get all the component blueprints for the Rhino warframe. The chassis must be the most common drop, since I've gotten that 7 or 8 times already, and I've gotten the neuroptics twice, but the damn systems are refusing to drop. Edit: w00t! I just got the systems blueprint to drop, now I have everything I need to build the Rhino warfram. It will be the next one I level once I max out Oberon.

They've been on my **** list for many years already, I'm just waiting for the rest of the general public to catch up to my forward thinking.

The amount of dead weight LeBron has had to carry this far is overwhelming. It's partially his own fault since, let's be real, he is the actual coach and GM of the team, so the personnel he has surrounding him is at least in part his own doing.

@marelooke - What Mastery Rank are you? I'm just about to hit MR5, so I'm still firmly a n00b.

Still playing a bunch of Warframe. I recently went through the Jupiter junction on Ceres, which entailed fighting the Valkyr specter. On my first few attempts I got my ass handed to me, mostly because I was trying to take her down using my weapons and her damage output with weapons was far superior to mine. The closest I came to winning with that faulty strategy was getting in close and going to town with my giant Fragor hammer. I managed to stunlock her for a while because of the extremely high impact value of the weapon, but as soon as she broke out of stunlock I was done for. Then I remembered I had powers and that specters are affected by them like anyone else. So I just used my Hydroid warframe's tidal surge ability to get right up next to her in an instant, then used undertow to suck her down beneath the surface of the water puddle I became and I kicked back and relaxed while she drowned. Since then I've gone through a bit of Jupiter, but I'm taking a break from pushing onward to level up some new gear, namely the Oberon warframe.

That game has got to be mentally backbreaking for the Cavs. LeBron had a MONSTER game scoring 51 and they had the game pretty much in the bag if George Hill could have just hit a free throw or JR Smith understood the situation. Let's hope they recover from that heartwrenching game 1 better than T-Dot did after their stomach punch of a game 1.

LOL JR Smith

Since we're talking about Interstate '76, one of my most beloved games, this gives me an excuse to post IMHO the greatest video game intro theme: This is a bittersweet reminder that Activision wasn't always a vile, noxious pile of human excrement. Once upon a time they developed and published awesome games, like this.

I just threw up in my mouth. I guess it makes sense. It takes FO4's boring building mechanic and expands it to be the focal point of a game.

For a second there it looked like we might actually get a different Finals this year, but, alas, it was not to be. Oh well, like Volo, I expect the Dubs to take this in 5. The Cleveland LeBrons will win one "statement" game at home, but, otherwise, they are severely outmatched and outgunned.

I'm sad we won't get any Snarkathons this year because TotalBiscuit is gone (for those not familiar, E3 Snarkathons were TB's MST3K style streams/videos where TB and Genna would riff on the presentations as they happened). The Snarkathons were the only thing that could make EA's annual self congratulatory, tone deaf, and soul crushing presentation vaguely watchable and they made Ubisoft's goofy and ill-advised presentation all the more hilarious (we're laughing at you, Ubi, not with you). Does anyone know of any other streamer or youtuber with a good (preferably dry) sense of humor that does a MST3K type stream/video that can make these terrible presentations somewhat palatable?

It would be interesting if this was a Fallout 4X strategy game where Vault 76 tries to "reclaim" the United States and has to compete against, ally with, or exterminate other factions such as the NCR, Brotherhood, etc. Of course, I have zero faith in Bethesda (the developer, not the publisher) producing anything actually interesting, so I can pretty much forget about that idea. As an aside, LOL at Bluehole suing Epic over Fortnite copying PUBG. It should be noted that PUBG did NOT create the battle royale genre, it wasn't even the game that popularized the genre (H1Z1 most likely lays claim to that), and it's a game that quite literally uses stock store bought assets. It should also be noted that they are suing them in South Korea and I won't pretend to know anything at all about Korean copyright law. I know in the US Bluehole wouldn't have a leg to stand on and would essentially be laughed out of court.

I'll see your Fallout MMO and raise you Fallout Battle Royale.

I finished the tutorial in Americal Truck Simulator today. Achievement Unlocked "Licensed Professional".
