I only know what tumblr is because my friend said "Hey look at this." and it was porn. And then I eventually had to learn not to blindly click on any link she sent me.

The Beastie Boys are the first hip hop group in years to have something to say

Forward them to me in future.

I feel really bad for Dan when he retweets people who tell him how brutal his levels are. Patrick is a fucking terminator, he will not stop until he wins.
 
With the new 2.0 release, I think there's plenty of content playable in Star Citizen for GB to do a feature, whether it be an Unfinished or even a Flight Club or something. Maybe wait for the next performance update, though.

Quoting what I said on friday.

Whilst it is impressive from a technical standpoint, I still don't think it is ready to be approached by the layman expecting to waltz into the game without any preparation, which is what they'll do then claim nothing works. Honestly there is plenty of time until it gets to beta.

I think calling what exists right now a "2.0" pretty amazingly overconfident statement

2.0 of the alpha.
 
While I agree it'd probably involve them being willfully ignorant as they've always been with the game it seems like the perfect game for the original purpose of unfinished which was to check in on a game multiple times throughout its development. Of course they never stick to any feature so it doesn't really matter.
 
Dark Souls people.

I have never played a Dark Souls kind of game before. I'm not really sure I can say I've played anything vaguely related to the kind of game. If I were to get both Dark Souls and Dark Souls II (maybe Scholars of the First Sin version) on PC, which should I play first?

people really aren't familiar with some of the more obscure mario games out there, eh

my favourite might be mario no sweater for famicom, a game where you design sweaters

You've played a ton of Monster Hunter which shares a lot of similar thought processes and mechanics in how you approach situations, but Dark Souls applies that to a level design format as well and not just the boss aspect like MH does.

As for what you should play first, play the better game which is Dark Souls 1 and use Durante's DSFix as well.

Dark Souls II is waaay more player-friendly, prettier, and works better on PC than its predecessor. It would be the best choice to get into the series, I think.

I actually find it a better game than DSI (don't burn me)

what if I told you I've never played a mario game? no SMB, no Galaxy, nothing

The constant 20 frames per second in the port is shitty though, and would probably look awful on video..

Somebody in the OT said he actually got 60fps on port Olisar. It was a completely fresh server. It is something you notice, that as you play performance degrades until it goes crazy for a few moments an then recovers.

If you were committed to the idea of playing both then I might say play Dark Souls 2 first just because it's worse than the first Dark Souls, it's still a great game but a number of it's flaws become more glaring when you've already played the first game. Don't forget that you'll want to get DSfix for DS1.

You can actually trick the game into letting you play in the PU offline, and frame rates are excellent. Maybe that's the way they would/should do it.

Dark Souls is the better game in my opinion, and if you're playing it on PC get Durante's fixes because the base port is turrible.
 
just watched the Nuclear Throne QL and boy it's apparently been a long time since I played it.

well at least it looks like a real game now and not a shooty tech demo

Nah. There is something special about going to Kareah, killing people camped near the rifles, taking one of those, going outside and jumping somebodies ship, killing the pilot, stealing their ship then going on a joyride.

So you're there having your fun and then somebody tracks you down and murders you in retaliation.

That's true, the living universe is sort of the whole point of the game. Nobody to shoot in the FPS area if you're offline, too.
 
Someone ran into my avenger and hid in my bed as I was taking off because I forgot to close the back of my ship before taking off from the port. As I was preparing to go into hyperspeed mode to warp to the military station I see someone randomly go flying out the back of my ship into the abyss and I suddenly realized the guy in chat who had been bragging about hitching a ride was talking about me.
