The truck or the building? Also, post impressions and good luck.
So...twitch can't distinguish between GZ and TPP?
Usually i'd say that's great, but i can see it becoming a worrying sing. Boding fools in rocket league comes with great responsability.

The much wanted Slardar remodel!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Assuming US, but that's actually quite huge considering the personnel reduction due to budget cuts that is currently going on.
From what I've heard from my officer friends in the military, if they have 5 officers ready for promotion they rank each one on a one to five scale. The best officer gets a five and promoted, the 'worst' gets a one and out of the army. Brutal.

Rocket League time. Lobby is steamgaf pass: steamgaf. I am playing on PS4 and I will wait 10 minutes for you boys and girls
I have to solve differential equations in Matlab... but the lure is too much. I'm in.
I just caught up on that Telltale bundle deal, pretty crazy. Adding those Poker Night games actually brought the price down, looking forward to getting stuck into GoT and BL now. Really enjoyed TWAU when that came out. Not heard great things about Jurassic Park though so I skipped that one.
And if you thought working at EA was bad, we now have Konami.

Hey I beat another game, just in time for MGSV:
Crossposting from the Zombi OT:
Crossposting from the Zombi OT:
Finished the game, TL
Endgame spoilers spoiler'd:
I really enjoyed the game, gameclock above says 6 hours but Steam time says 9... I think it was closer to ~6.5 hours because of following reasons:
1. I ran into a permacrash after getting killed for the first time: 1 hours lost and and 1 hour to debug until restarting
2. Crash in the nursery (but recovering from this only took around ~10 minutes)
3. Crash in theending section tunnels: threw a grenade, it just bounced to the floor, game crashed. Only maybe 5 minutes there because LUCKILY I had a save in near the turret section: going back to that area after dying was not only confusing but really hard.
Overall, like I said, I really, really liked the game. Missed couple of C4's (I think) so I couldn't blow some stuff up inand I didn't care to find all the 4 paintings: other than that I found most everything. At some parts the game was a bit vague in which direction to goBuckingham Palacebut otherwise it really scratched that Dark Souls itch. One big minus for the repeated environments: why were there like 10 of those "ladder, hole in the wall, metro station" parts?the gasoline station part
The game was really, REALLY tense. Like some say the weapons, especially the guns lack oooopmh, but otherwise the game has totally awesome sound design. The graphics are okay, but the cutscene videos have been packed with the shittiest Bink compression (I guess) they could find. I like the gameplay too, I can see why not everyone would be a fan of that. I only died 3 times, 2 of those at the exact same spot to an exploding zombie which was weird (I think when going back to that little island area to reach some place, maybe that gasoline station?).
The missions were fun, the pacing was great except for the. Some of the enemiesending sequence. It was just... too long and too tense, with zombies coming from every side. It got me sweating though, so I guess that was good. I also didn't like the repeated paranormal zombie x 2 in the last palace section.were kinda annoying in retrospectlike all of the special enemies. Seriously, fuck those explosive enemies. Thewhich was kinda weird game design: I counted 3-4 of those lightning zombies and 2 of the paranormal ones. So they could have been just boss fights.. Also the endingarena section was kinda weird too. It had this Walking Deadish plottwist that was solved in very Walking Deadish way: by doing pretty much nothing.was really abrupt: shoot the most quiet turret in the world, run to a door, shitty quality movie plays which I didn't really understand. Prepper picked up another guy? Okay, but wasn't place firebombed just now? At least the epilogue was surprising.
For the sequel I would want: less run and gun sections, less hectic sections, more creepy Zombi'ing and. Basically, just more of Vanilla Zombi. If you like horror games or Dark Souls or just permadeath games in general, Zombi is a must buy.less paranormal zombies.
yeah i love they say it like it's a good thing

I fired up Telltale's Jurassic Park last night and did you know you can't cycle through the resolution settings and then apply changes? No, it updates the resolution each time. It took like 3 minutes to get to the highest resolution. Not sure I have ever seen graphics settings handled that way in a game before.

Is there pre-load on XB1 for MGSV?
if not it seems like they made a business decision to only allow PS4 pre-load for some reason
(money)
Already passed the amount the first Kickstarter got. As much as people have been vindictive towards some Kickstarter companies, it's clear that releasing a loved game builds up a lot of good will also.

That's not PC. ;_;
Going for that $50 tier. I've still haven't played the first one.
It's not common practice to do preloads for large games on STEAM. Mad Max did it because they are trying to be different.
and no pre-load on PC :/
Because there is literally no reason for it to not have one.

Hardly acceptable when other systems are getting a preload. And perhaps people wish to play the game beside their friends, and would rather not have to wait an extra few days while their meager internet slowly downloads ~30GB of data?
The only thing holding the preload back is Konami.

Same reason people are pissed off that every region except NA gets Fatal Frame V physical, new 3DS, *insert Nintendo product here*: there's no reason for it when absolutely everyone else gets that option.

Good for you, but I need preloads too. 500 kbps download speed isn't fun. >_>

At least we can download with the speed our connections permit on Steam, PSN on the other hand really needs preloads.

It's really shame that MGSV doesn't have a preload everyone doesn't have awesome internet connections
A common defence is "Sony is struggling as a company and can't afford to spend money on unnecessary upgrades", but it could just do what Valve does and allow third-party content servers. Mind you, this is the same company that, despite two particularly notable security breaches, has yet to implement 2FA and still requires users to add a payment method to their account when purchasing something (though to be fair, it's very easy to delete a saved payment method).
So true. On my 100Mbit connection I would have needed the PSN pre-load to start yesterday for it to finish on time for release. Steam (and Origin/Uplay) on the other hand happily maxes out the connection.

I swear the wifi works better on the ps3 than the ps4 and that one is bad.

I have my PC and consoles(Wii U excepted) connected via ethernet.
Still don't understand why Nintendo got rid of ethernet ports with the Wii *shrug*
