have you been paying attention to the Republicans for the past 5 years? instant kneejerk opposition to every single thing Obama says is pretty much all they do these days.

pork roll is great but no one ever knows what it is unless they lived in Jersey. I had to bring one to college to prove to my neighbors that yes, there is really a food product called "pork roll"

it's a comment on the game being a series of spreadsheets with spaceships visible in the part of your screen that isn't covered with various data and chat windows.

Goonfleet: The Comic Book

I bought a 760 two weeks ago and it has a minimum recommended power supply of 500W. if this thing only has 450W, it'll probably need a new power supply if you ever upgrade any of the other bits.

they have that Vikings show now, which is actually pretty good.

I'd rather pay one hour's wages per month than spend several hours doing boring money-farming in game.

I'm hoping it'll be sort of like Unreal World, the iron-age Finland survival sim. you spend most of your time doing subsistence hunting/trapping/fishing and building a cabin so you have a place to stay during the long boring winters with 20-hour nights where you can't do anything outside without snowshoes and a full…

same thing happened to me - I told all my infantry to attack the gate, they threw a few torches at it until it opened, then stood there in a big blob refusing to attack the gate or the enemy unit just inside it.

AAA action games are not the place to look for smart social commentary.

Peter Gibbons: The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.

first-person flying one of the current carrier-launched fighters would be an awful experience since they never get to shoot enemy fighters. it'd be all "follow this guy around and shoot whatever NPC he's targeting" or "shoot this undefended hostile station for an hour to capture it" or "dock up every 15 seconds…

if you think that's how it works, you're incredibly stupid and I see no reason to waste any more time on this discussion.

if you cry because you lost to a "mouse aimer" in a plane that turns faster than yours, you're dumb and bad.

I have a $30 joystick and it has the main stick, 8-direction hat switch, 2 triggers, 4 thumb buttons on top of the stick, 6 buttons on the base, and an analog throttle slider thing for a total of 12 buttons plus throttle. a standard PS3 controller has (iirc) 2 thumbsticks, 2 triggers, 2 shoulder buttons, 4 d-pad…

full realism battles have proper flight models instead of the arcade easy mode, but they're not very popular (probably because the maps are big and you don't even see any enemies until 5-10 minutes in)

I have yet to encounter anyone who thinks WoWP is better than War Thunder.

I don't really get how a flight sim is going to be playable with a controller. if PS4 players are on the same server as PC players, it's going to be a total turkey shoot because the controller won't be able to do all the things that a mouse/keyboard or flight stick can.

my job posted a sign stating that they're a "tobacco-free company", got rid of the ashtray at the back entrance, and exiled the smokers to the office park pond several hundred feet away. the only effects this had are that smoke breaks now take longer, and we put our butts in a plastic bag hanging from a tree instead…
