True, but those that don't invert are wrong.

Pretty sure this isn't true at all. They certainly are vocal though.
I think both sides explanations are just attempts at making sense of what control scheme felt right at the time, or which scheme they got used to first. Obviously people who were heavily into flight sims would invert first. Either way, x3n wasn't talking about character or anything.
Read the whole thread cunt.

Wait? Serious? Cunt yes. So long Karmichael, you served us well.
I have a confession to make. I have zero interest in Tokyo Jungle and can't see myself getting it. Like ever.

some ones not heard the good word!
You know what's really fun? Working on a flight-sim type game for two and a half years and having this conversation EVERY GOD DAMN DAY CHRIST.
One step closer to getting a new Blow The Cartridge book printed in time for Supanova yeeeeaaaaah.
That sucks Jintor
Time to start something for yourself?

If you have to have that conversation it is not a flight sim type game

Maybe someone in here squealed on youSo, you are taking ownership of banning me?
It hurts deep.
TRUTH
ALMOST
YES THIS HANDSOME DEVIL GETS IT
WHAT? THAT MAKES NO SENSE. I SKATEBOARD AND DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND. IM NOT LIFTING A MOUSE, I AM PUSHING IT IN ONE DIRECTION!
Invert only for flight stuff. In an FPS moving the mouse is moving my vision, not a floating weapon. I think people who invert may have that concept stronger in their mind that they are controlling a floating item. I also guess that in my mind the mouse is more on a vertical plane, rather than the horizontal desk that is actually reality. My brain tells my hand to move it forward but my mind is thinking up. Probably also why I play better when the mouse is right next to the keyboard rather than having the keyboard on a fucking drawer that comes out from the desk.
In any case it is a peripheral interface that we choose to implement. Doesn't really matter what way it is used, as long as it is effective and efficient for the user.
I should get a Hydra.
Did anyone do my tax for me yet?
Oh sweet! Why didn't anyone tell me earlier!
Start a blog. Write write write. If it is good and plentiful someone will replace their shitty writer with you.

AusGAF 8: What a bunch of cunts.
Should I buy XCOM from GMG for $37.50 to get the free Civ5 that I'll probably never play given that I won't be able to play until the end of the month? Or maybe see if I can find a boxed Japanese version (highly unlikely)?

It will probably only get down to $20ish for the Xmas sales so I guess it depends on how desperate you are to play it? Civ5 is only worth $5 at most (financially, not value wise, don't hurt me!)
I don't remember reading that actually :/
Glad to see I'm not crazy though! I have heard the floating gun thing a few times before.

When you apply pressure to the back of the board, the front lifts, same with surfboards, so then the view of the board is up if momentum is forward. Push forward (in water is easier to visualize) and the board descends. Makes perfect sense to me?
Oh yeah, 35.

It's just a personal preference, I don't think there is a right or wrong way. But for me, the right way is non-inverted. I always likened using a mouse or analog stick the same as if I am using a mouse on a desktop, I see a point in space I move to that location. Again, probably a shitty example, but then again, I never really thought about why I do it, I just know it feels more intuitive to me.

When I am skateboarding I tend to keep my head level with the horizon, regardless of if I am putting my weight on the front or back of the skateboard though? Again it is dependant on your focus of either being the board or the person though.
I think right there you nailed the essence of what makes us choose one or the other. How you perceive your interaction and how that is simulated in game, in your instance you are relating a different aspect than I, I think I am controlling the axis of the board, you are controlling your viewpoint, both are applicable, just different mindsets.
Too many games to play again. I still have a load of Borderlands 2 to go (only level 25 on my main :/), hell I haven't even finished Darksiders 2. From the last week I also have Hell Yeah and LBP Vita hardly played and now this week X-Com and Dishonored. How the crap do you ever get to your backlog I will never know.

I hope this is the kind of thing Valve is testing for in regards to their peripherals that they are designing! Could lead to some new input devices that allow them to shift us into an experience that they have greater designs over.
Plus you can only add so many buttons to a mouse before it becomes too heavy to move.

Don't buy any game over $5 unless you finish (or decide once and for all to abandon) two first (e.g. finish two, buy one). I've hardly bought anything over $10 this year (3-4 maybe?).
Doesn't work for flash in the pan multiplayer games or where you want to be part of the conversation which usually occurs at release.

More gaming, less neogaf.
Not a bad strategy, except I like shiny things and in Steam alone my backlog is at around 300, never mind my console/handheld backlog. I just have to learn to let go I guess, so many games get released nowadays and there really is no time to play them all, unless I quit work but the other half wouldn't be impressed with that
What's this? I don't have a facebook account.

The hard part is learning to avoid getting swept up in the hype. Add the game to 'the list' instead of buying it, and when you finish something you still get the reward of buying a new shiny thing from said list. You'll also get them cheaper and realise you didn't really want some of them anyway.
I still buy games I'm ultra-hyped about regardless, there's no reason to make it feel like a struggle.
Alternatively, don't stress over 'finishing' a game. Play enough to feel like you got your money worth and move on. Put it in a 'done with it but not finished' category in Steam and collapse it so it's not taunting you.

Why would Riot even be able to "outlaw" something like that? Do they need to be involved in every case of someone playing their game?

Announcement: Unfortunately there will never be a dual SC2-LoL Barcraft as Riot has outlawed having LoL at a Barcraft with any other game. In essence if you're going to do a Barcraft for LoL its either LoL only or not at all.
That's pretty much how I look at it now, if I get 1 hour per $10 I have spent, I am content, anything over is a bonus.
Why do they care, are they just being asshats or do they get some kind of incentive from Blizzard?
24, but not for long...
That's from like a month ago. There was a thread and everything. I think Riot ended up backing down.

Yup. The fact I've put 20-30 hours into Guild Wars 2 makes me happy.
