That thread about how can people beat DKC2 without save points is depressing.
Click to expand...

I dunno, I mean yeah you gotta just trial and error and get through it. But when you originally played DKC2, how many other games did you have to play? Probably not many, most people I know really only had about 1-2 new games at a time in the SNES/Genesis era. So it was really keep playing DKC2 or nothing. Nowadays, my backlog is like 40 games long, so if I'm just bashing my head against a game and not getting anywhere, I have so many other games that I could play instead. Yeah people are less patient, but I think that's because there are more options now.

I played a shit load of games from Atari to the 32bit era.

You could easily rent a game and beat it in a weekend if you wanted to back then.

What was depressing to me about that thread is that someone could think DKC2 was hard. If you just wanted to progress and did not want to do the secret levels or collect all the coins the game was pretty easy. Especially in the early stages. The mines, the final boss and the special stages were the only hard parts of that game.

If someone was complaining about Ghouls and Ghosts from the NES I could sympathize, but this is just bitch territory.

I never could do shit against that game as a kid and me and my best friend tried to go back and try and flip it when we were teenagers one weekend and we felt like the eastern conference scrubs trying to beat Lebron.

We could just never get past the last level right before the final boss.

I'm just gonna ignore these posts.

You all doubted me when I said the game was still alive, and now you doubting me again.

I never said it'd never come out, I said years ago if it ever did it'd be like DNF. Games that take forever tend to not be worth the hype. It's why I abandoned ship on any new Half Life long ago. If that ever happens/comes out, there's .000003% chance at best it ends up worth the wait

I can't take the pain

Asking a rival's fan what to do in a city is a bold move.

A Chicago Bears fan would encourage me to visit the more "diverse" parts of Chicago and tell me to wear certain colors or something.

Yeah I was spoiled as shit but still would only have a new game or maybe two at a time. A lot of times I was just burning through video game rentals. Kids back then knew to rent on Thursday because the rental store was closed on Sunday so you got a free day. Christmas was the only time it was 3 or more.

I know, but you should expect zero and be surprised to get anything. He'll never make the final roster and everyone knows it.

It upsets me greatly that Harbaugh and co almost certainly spent more months contemplating (and finally actually) signing Trent Richardson than they did on Tyrod's contract

If they kept Tyrod, we don't have the shit Clausen/Mallet situation. But nope, now we've lost Tyrod, got and lost Clausen, got Mallet, hurt Flacco, and got Trent.

Been a rough year and a half for RavensGAF :[ For the whole division in general, really. Steelers crippled themselves in a game the Bengals gave away anyway, Bengals never winning a playoff game ever, and Browns never even contending again

Don't get me wrong, I hope he makes it, but if he does all that will illustrate is how far the Rats' run game has fallen.

Jokes aside, it makes zero sense to pick him up.

I am sure whoever is on the practice squad is a better player then he is. He is just not an NFL running back. It is not hard to find a better back than him and he is just taking up a roster spot.

The only thing I can think of is that they want him to be the fall guy for whatever assault of murder their players commit this season. He could probably be useful for that purpose.

So I fired up Overwatch on my 4 year old Asus laptop, which has an i7-2680 processor and a GT 630M graphics card. The game runs fairly smoothly though it looks like a Super NES game at medium settings, locked to 30 fps in 1920x1080.

Might need to fuck around with that a bit to see if I can sharpen the graphics at all, but with this card that might be the best I'm gonna get.

The Bone version is still on my wish list for Father's Day. I have no trouble double-dipping for Blizzard games.

First game in, decided to go vs. AI in Easy mode with a bunch of other people. Played Soldier 76 and went 36-0. Felt good. And is surely about as misrepresentative of how well I'll play against others as can possibly be.

And, to keep this on topic, fuck the Pats.
