  1. I just purchased thief4 on piratebay (to test it, don't judge me) and found out my machine does not meet the minimum requirements. New computers are so expensive but I think it's time :(

      When you use software modified by god-knows-who, it can do very nasty things.

      It's definitely a risk.

      New PCs aren't that expensive if you play it smart. A: Don't buy a Dell. B: replace your motherboard/CPU/RAM/graphics card.

      C. Replace your PSU if required, and have fun. (Don't buy a Dell because IIRC their parts are proprietary)

    Dark Souls

    And I just quit playing this game again. For the same reason I quit the first time: requires too much dedication. Play, play, play, die, repeat. Last run I figured the pattern of the boss, next time I'll surely beat him but I'm not compelled to go through all that again. I guess it doesn't appeal to everyone. Some people will get a higher rush the harder it is to beat something, but I get the exact same feeling with or without all the trouble. When I beat the boss all I get is a feeling of "all right, finally. Can we get on with this now?". But for everyone who enjoys this game I have a recommendation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN9mKr_O2og It has a very similar nature. Each time you play you learn something new about the current world, a new pattern etc, and you get practice. It feels very much like dark souls and it's also a damn good game. And I also quit playing it for the exact same reason.

    Dark Souls

    How weird. I started playing Dark Souls today and was totally thinking "I think I played this game before!". Now I found a topic here and decided to know what people are talking about it. What a terrible memory, I even started this thread myself. Anyway, I'm giving this game another shot (I didn't know it was another shot until now! I thought I was trying the thing for the first time).
  4. That's it. Get Maxwell's equations on integral form and choose the volume and contour that simplifies the integrals.
  5. Awesome! good for them (and for us, that get to play the game).
  6. I couldn't watch the whole thing. To me this kind of speech sounds like fear of change.
  7. I played a couple of times the advanced edition but I couldn't get into it again, like I did the first time. I think I played the original too much edit: I don't mean that it's worse now! I'm just burnt out of playing FTL
  8. I have no idea about how to be a better entertainer, so I can't help you with that. But let's play videos can be entertaining for several different reasons, some are because of a funny narrator saying funny things, others are groups of people discussing (yelling usually) random subjects while playing. I tend to enjoy comments from game developers or simply someone interested in game dev with insightful comments. So if I were trying to create an audience for my videos I guess I'd try and find in what way I can be entertaining. If you look at my videos you'll see that being completely silent is my best move (or I'm not trying to create an audience). Anyway, great to see more TDM let's play!
  9. Nice! turn based stealth is a new one to me for something done so quickly this is pretty good.
  10. Awesome! Always nice to see new things. New even considering the source material.
  11. Looks neat! I love space games Downloading as soon as I'm home.
  12. Yes, I'm from Brazil. Making a simple conversion from Real to Euro I pay around 55€.
  13. I have a 90% discount on "rip trilogy" if anyone wants it. Valid until may 1st (2014)
  14. This is my home connection and it doesn't come cheap. It's also the best connection of my life! ah, the developing world. And upload is always, always 1 MB. No one cares, no one asks for more, no one knows what it means, thus no internet provider cares to offer more. I once uploaded a playthrough of a TDM mission to youtube, and the plan was to upload more but nope. Never again. Takes way too long to get a large video online.
  15. And what about the story?? When I saw the trailers it seemed so exciting! During one night Batman will be hunted down by a series of assassins, all orchestrated by a new villain! But...
  16. I keep finding new bugs as I play. This is another one of those cases where I really wish there were names associated with a game instead of companies. I want to know who is responsible for the games I like so I can follow his work. What's the point in knowing it's made by "eidos montreal" if the people in there change completely from game to game? In this case it's not even made by the same company but the point is still valid.
  17. 90% discount steam coupon on "rip trilogy", anyone wants it?

      It expires may 1st. I don't suppose we'll have a contest before that (one that ends before that actually)

      ah ok, just put it up for adoption then in the offtopic section etc.

      oh right, I made a topic for that a while ago.

  18. haha Those youtube comments reconstructions are hilarious. And the external light gem is simply brilliant :-o
  19. Is it just me? I was looking forward to this game, I really like both previous games. But I'm finding that, besides the graphics, all is either the same quality or worse. It's clearly made by different people, so different was to be expected. The combat dynamics feels slightly different, not harder or easier, just different and less fun. I think some basic rules have changed like the ability to cancel a strike to do a counter attack for example. When gliding (or simply standing) I find it really difficult to find grapple points, even when I can clearly see points that I should be able to grapple. All arkham games rely on careful positioning of zones that change the player's state, much like assassins creed and so many others. When done well the game works and it's really fun. But in this particular game seems it seems to lack in that aspect. The game is filled with ledges that looks grappable but are not, platforms that looks climbable but are not, holes that look you could crouch under it but cannot etc. Then there's the new zipline. I think the ability to attach it to enemies as well is incredibly fun! but other than that you can only attach it to specific points. They missed an opportunity to make something as fun as the grapple from Just cause and made one that is even more constrained than the previous arkham's zipline. But I'm having fun nonetheless. The game looks fantastic! Sometimes I just run around in circles just to look at that beautiful snow with displacement map.
  20. And nu Thief is on sale already! That was fast. Is 33% off good enough? I'll have to think about it :)

      It's -50% on PS3.

      I had 45 hours in my full playthrough with all side missions. That's more than double the play time I got out of Bioshock Infinite. Any sale is good if you're eager. :P

  21. I'm just curious to know what Carmack's next move is. Is he ok with this? or is he ready to leave onto his next project (rockets, world domination, whatever goes in that crazy genius head)
  22. Lol! who made those sounds? or is it from a movie or something? It'd be fun if he also yelled as nods to other AI. "greetings, brother" "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!?"
  23. Just found a particularly original "enlarge your penis" email in my spam box. "Enlarge with free trial: your love tool is set to thrill"

      This reminds me of RJFerret's signature.

       

      The lesson is that the mapper should always be careful with the "froabable" spawnarg.

  24. I didn't know that. Thanks for the link
  25. I know what you mean. Anything related to environment is at the same time extremely complicated, usually not completely understood scientifically, very important and dominated by layman people. It's frustrating and unhelpful.
