Scrubbed user

I'd tell a chemistry joke, but I don't think there will be a reaction.

Banned for having an underscore in your username.

I think we should give an honorable mention to the original Xbox however, which often made me wonder if there really was a quantum singularity generator inside my system.

Nope, just a Pentium, 64 megs of RAM, and an NV2A.

The Angry Marines. I identify with these guys.

Despite having driven just about everything in sim racing, I've not driven a whole lot of real cars, but my favorite one is this:

The E46 M3. If I could ever find one in good condition with a manual (the SMG's reliability is finicky), I might have to snatch it.

• Quake II Descent into Cerberon
• Quake Main Theme
• Quake Parallel Dimensions (Just about anything from Quake 1-3 will do really.)
• Doom (1993) E1M1 (Is there anything more iconic? Whether it be dot matrix printers, 8 floppy drives, or doot.)
• Serious Sam: the First Encounter Fight 5
• Serious Sam 3 BFE Hero
• TES V: Skyrim Sovngarde (The calm before the fight with Alduin. It got real.)
• Metal Gear Solid 2 Main Theme
• Gran Turismo 2 Moon Over the Castle (Still my favorite, and always will be.)
• Ace Combat 6 Liberation of Gracemaria
• Saints Row 4 Hail to The Chief (Forget Kanye West, my Presidency will sound like this.)
• GRID 24 Hours of Le Mans (In the dying moments, me in the Lola B06/10 vs. the might of two factory Audi R10s. LET'S DO THIS!!!)

Might not be the best idea to live eternally. If I were to, I would want to freeze the aging process so I can be young.

Nah, Rarity is just sexy and she knows it.

Looks like I'll be buying either the R7 1700X or R7 Pro 1800, (and an AM4+ mobo and AM4+ bracket for my H100i V2) if the price is right of course. Will need to see benchmarks first, don't want to fall for hype or any kind of fanboyism.

With all that expectation from the adults she's going to be moody, rebellious, and self obsessed with an overblown sense of her own importance. She might even become a villain.

Or be "this is who I am" in her teen years.

The first piece of my sim rig upgrade/investment. I'll probably never need to buy another one of these again.

​Some more groceries, I wanted to get a drawing tablet but for some odd reason amazon doesn't accept paypal...  Guess I'll have to get a gift card next time I'm out.

You don't have a credit card or anything like that? 

I have the diamond. The only gemstone that you can cut things with, so it's useful.

I don't want it to, but Nintendo are seemingly doing everything they can to make sure it does. I definitely would want to try it, but I am still firmly against paid online services that don't make it worth your money, which is all the consoles nowadays. If it does, I don't even see Nintendo even surviving enough to even become a 3rd-party developer.

I'm going to say All of the above. It's almost always the case with games based on movies. There are just a few exceptions, but the rest are garbage.

My glorious rig:

2x GTX 1070

Intel i7 4.0GHz 6700k

Corsair Hydro H110i CPU water cooler

Asus Maximus VIII Ranger

16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400MHz

Corsair HX850 PSU

Asus BD-rom.

240+60GB SSD

500GB HDD (+2TB external).

CM Storm Trooper case.

 

Thrustmaster T500RS steering wheel w/TH-8A 8-way shifter.

HTC Vive.

And a generic joystick.

Dammit, it's better than mine...

Had the case for a month now, but I can finally have the tempered glass panel. It has a smoked finish, which should still show any LEDs pretty well.

Decided against getting another brace that mounts to the PCI-E brackets in favor of what is essentially a stick with some feet and some friction lock holders on it. I think I may have bought one of the last ones they had in stock on the US store.

I listen to a station out of Nashville that "plays what they want", which usually consists of mostly good songs, with a bad one thrown in there occasionally.

How about Princess of Big Honkin' Wings.

I've posted this once before, but I think it's worth reposting.

Today's gaming industry as a whole is not so good.

 

Sure, there are some true masterpieces around, but in a sea of crap. And by "crap", I mean all the pre-orders, Day 1 DLC, content from games that are stripped out and later re-sold as DLC, and yearly releases that have almost no changes to the game mechanic (Call of Duty is the perfect example). While I am a PC gamer, I used to be heavily vested in the consoles, specifically Playstation. It's because of the current consoles that I moved to PC. I was tired of having games that didn't look or run as good as they could because of woefully underpowered hardware. Also, having to pay to play online after the PS3 didn't require is really shitty.

 

I know exactly what is the root of this: Fanboys.

 

Fanboys are the ones who pre-order games based on an announcement or a tarted up launch trailer at E3, or buy them Day 1 without even waiting for reviews. (I will admit to being guilty of this.) Fanboys go around "supporting" one company or another because they have developed some kind of emotional attachment to a big corporation who only cares about getting their hard-earned dollar. Fanboys are the ones who defend shitty business practices, like paying to play online, or even a price hike for said pay-walls. Fanboys spread lies and misconception as fact. Fanboys want to see their competition "die off" without realizing that competition in the market is the only reason there even is any changes to hardware or software.

 

I know this didn't talk about games specifically, but my point is that publishers like Activision, EA, Konami, Ubisoft, Square Enix, etc. are not the reason why they operate as shitstains in today's gaming industry. It's the fanboys who defend and buy into these practices that gives these companies further incentive to do it. I've said this time and time again; the consumer is the reason why the gaming industry is in the toilet. There are good companies who deserve your money because of good business practices, but a lot do not.

 

The consumer has ultimate control, but we went down that path and I don't see it getting any better any time soon. If anything, it will only get worse.
