I'm kinda meh on TF2.
^ leave now and never come back
I played the 360 version for awhile, years ago. It was all right. I might get into the PC version sometime, but I don't have the storage space now and all the changes would likely leave me in the dust.
Incidentally, is it just me, or is TF2 the west's Touhou?
As in characters and fanworks are more popular than the game itself? Yeah, kinda.
>begin torrenting NGE
>check in two minutes later
>0.0%
And my stomach feels like shit
Take some Tums?
Feeling slightly better today after feeling fairly bad after the last few days. Think I might drop Ice-Skating as my school sport and just do Senior Study (read as: go home) instead.
@ Everest: I know that feel. I don't know if/when Spriggan will ever finish downloading for me. =/
the NGE torrent is unhealthy as fuck. I'd recommend streaming or a direct download, myself. Preferably one where you don't stream anything.
My body hates me tonight
Blood...pressure...rising...
"the NGE torrent is unhealthy as fuck. I'd recommend streaming or a direct download, myself. Preferably one where you don't stream anything."
Unhealthy as in viruses? O_O
I tried streaming at Gogoanime, but their video player was being stupid. I suppose I might try direct download, if the torrent is such virus bait.
I came up with a premise for a story while walking down the street, but I probably won't write it cuz i'm lazy and because I don't care about writing a story, myself.
But whatever, I'd prefer to leave it somewhere where I can revisit it later to see it and see if there's any good to salvage from it or something.
So basically, it's sci-fi noir stuff. Time travel is discovery in the future. Humanity speculates that, with time, the very discovery of a time travel method means that somewhere down the line, the machine will be misued and wreak havoc in the space time continuum, so it creates a method of policing time itself by sending patrol cops to each day in time inserted to live it over and over again and keeping their respective quandrant/area under control. That way, population is maintained under control, there's work, etc etc. However, except during vacations, agents and their families are stuck in a time they're initially unfamiliar with, which leads to obvious consequence as displacement, feelings of isolation and nostalgia and so on.
I dunno what I'd do with such a setting or if I'd refine it at all, but whatever. I write this because it's 11 PM, I'm bored, a bit high on caffeine and sleep deprived.
Nah, unhealthy is a term used with torrents to mean "Not enough seeders to make it work"
Oh. Well, I guess I'll try DDL then.
In other news, this is a thing
someone thought that this needed to be a thing
...huh
As the old saying goes...
Mineception!
In other news, I realized it's near-impossible to be in a bad mood while listening to Keith Urban.
One of the guys on the Media Sandwich podcast sounds like how I hear myself through recordings. It's creepy.
Popculture IJBM
This:
became this:
It's a pretty interesting evolution of a cultural construct, truth be told. If you look at artwork from as recent as the early-mid 20th century, you'll find that the depictions of knights maintain a good degree of accuracy. It's when the late 20th century comes around that things start to get mangled, and all exaggerated grief aside, I think it's a cool little mystery.
My personal hypothesis goes like this:
The 70s and 80s bring us wargaming and tabletop roleplaying, which then go on to influence video games. While media dealing with knights and their ilk before that point could be literal interpretations, gaming is subject to abstraction. As various games took root in pop culture, from Warhammer to D&D up to World of Warcraft, these abstractions became the standard and uprooted the literal interpretations.
I guess this doesn't bother anyone but me, but I find the old depictions of knights and stuff really endearing and charming. More recent ones, at least for me, carry an air of pretentiousness or conceit about them. It's ironic, if you ask me; the old knights, nobles for whom pretension and conceit were commonplace, appear to me to be more sincere than modern depictions born from a democratic and increasingly socialistic age.
I love knights and I love games, but it just seems that I can't love both at the same time.
Oh wait, Dark Souls. brb
Has anyone played a game called "Demon Souls" for the PS3?
Yeah, though it's called "Demon's Souls." Quite good, though Dark Souls is better.
I thought the boss battles in Demon's Souls were better via being more unique. As good as Dark Souls is, the climax of both games is in those boss battles. In that regard, Dark Souls let itself down. Give me the systemic changes of Dark Souls, bring back health regen for Faith weapons and design the boss battles like Demon's Souls and you've got a winner, 10/10, no questions.
>More recent ones, at least for me, carry an air of pretentiousness or conceit about them.
True.
Though I only ever fought a few bosses in Demon's Souls and only got up to Anor Londo in Dark Souls.
Well, my friend lent it to me and I've just found out you're supposed to die against the Vanguard boss -.-
I thought I was doing it wrong by dieing
Well, you can win, with practice. You get a few items, then get killed in a cutscene. But yeah, it's how they teach you about the death mechanic.
