There very likely are. Done properly, the encryption type malware is just as cryptographically secure as it claims to be. But there are some simpler variants of the malware floating around that either a static key or pull from a pool of possible keys, rather than generating a new one on the fly. In these instances,…

I’m appy to hear that Japanese audio is included in the game, even if the English subtitles are more localized than I might like. That’s awesome, I’ll definitely be picking this game up sometime this month.

I can respect that though. Their primary criticism wasn’t so much that the game released with not enough content to justify the price point, it was that their development team had a *bad* habit of showing off features that weren’t fully baked, and didn’t make it into the final game.

I think it’s at the point where the run can’t be performed by a human being using official controllers. If it meets that criteria, it’s a run. But lots of people disagree, and so there are a ton of different categories, including ones that ban glitches entirely, or require the player to correct 100% of the items.

I think the bigger issue is that along the path of development, many assets, including lines of dialog, get cut from the game, but never actually removed from the source files. (Text isn’t very big.) 

I think you misspelled 9, but I’ll forgive you.

As nice as the idea of sleeping naked is on paper, I have to compromise for practical reasons that mostly involve possessing male anatomy. It’s simply wildly uncomfortable for me to sleep without support from my briefs. So I tend to sleep in a light t-shirt and underwear, but no pants or socks. This allows my body to…

If anyone says Pineapple I may throw something

I think the whole concept of “loading” is blurred in this game, since so much of it is being generated on the fly anyway. It’s not so much that the game has to read things from disk, it’s simply that it can only handle so much going on around the player and remain performant.

No ads in the comments here. I disabled my adblocker and see just the usual two banners up top and over on the side. Check for any suspicious apps, you may have malware on your phone. (Yes that’s a thing.)

If the NX is really going to be a handheld, then it’s not competing with the Xbox or the PS4.

Nope. I suddenly care a LOT less about trying to collect things in this game. This is my very, very least favorite practice of a lot of companies offering collectibles right now. If I can’t collect everything, and I *know* I’ll never be able to collect everything, I’m sorry but I’m just not interested.

I don’t think the game’s on-screen display is tied to the server pings. It updates your position visually as often as it can, based on your phone’s local GPS coordinates. But it doesn’t actually transmit the position you see to the server that often. This is a common UI trick to make an app feel more responsive when…

For what it’s worth, I’ve been having MUCH better luck playing at night in the states. (Central Time here.) When the servers aren’t completely overwhelmed, the game is actually responsive and quite playable.

To be quite fair, the piranha in question is actually a giant, malevolent flower. It is plant like, and nothing at all like a fish.

That’s not to run console players into the ground either. It does take a considerable amount of skill to be good at FPS controls with twin sticks. But the advantage of being able to use the mouse to instantly look wherever you want to, with nearly no travel time and a great deal more accuracy... that input hardware…

With as much money as they must be making with microtransactions and DLC at this point, the subscription fee for Xbox Live is making less and less sense over time, especially since it’s the major pain point for them versus their most direct competition.

O’rly? That’s got to be the only tech demo that actually drove me nearly to tears (granted, mostly because of the very convincing mo-cap and excellent acting work, not because of the tech on display) so that seriously piques my interest.

I had no trouble with the base version of Don’t Starve. It’s punishing, but not unforgiving once you master the basics. I found Willow to be by far the easiest character, due to her lighter protecting her from the utter darkness without requiring too much early-game luck. Once you figure out you can pick up berry…

FPS games are just about my least favorite genre, and I’m still managing to have a blast. Don’t think of it as an FPS; there’s aiming and shooting, but unless you’re specifically playing Soldier 76, your play and your contributions to the team don’t depend on your shooting skills. For some heroes, there’s no shooting…
