I’m rather surprised you/they can discuss competitive play in Destiny without bringing up the lack of dedicated servers or the damage that the mesh networking model has done to the gameplay, especially in trials. Not only does it propagate a single person’s lag to impact every player in the game in some way, it also…

1111 hours.

xbox has offered multiplayer promo weekends to xbox silver users as well, so there is precedent, but that is generally with games produced/distributed by microsoft.

not old enough - pinball, pacman, and yar’s revenge on the atari 2600 were my time sinks before I finally got a ninentdo.

No doubt, and that was the point I was making. Small tech companies are indeed especially bad, as are industries like movies where projects are short. When I said ten years I was referring to general coporate behavior in the west - that’s usually around the point they treat you as a loyal long term employee they…

That behavior is not just because complacency of individuals, I believe it has to do with the immovable behavior of the corporate world in Japan. They aren’t nearly as capitalistic as companies in the west, with a culture of loyalty and stability rather than innovation, advancement, and maximization of profits (Toyota…

Agreed, the statement is so much bull it makes me angry. If anything there are more artisans out there who wish they could do this kind of work, but are unable to do so because the industry itself is blocking them from doing high quality work at livable wages. And this does not just go for anime, though it is one of…

And everyone in the audience wondered why they were seeing spots the next day.

“Also, Sony says they plan to bring Remote Play to PC and Mac, which doesn’t seem nearly as useful as getting it on Vita but may be helpful for people who have to share TVs.”

No, MAPI, the Outlook Messaging API. IMAP isn’t even an option for many exchange users these days as it is frequently disabled on exchange because it doesn’t support many of Exchange’s security and management features. Note that this article and responses are very old and outdated. I haven’t used Evolution in years…

There’s no reason for you to go all fanboy on me, I like both series quite a bit but the animation quality of the two is not the same. I say that out of personal experience and opinion with photography, videography, and CG. FMA just got a higher level of care (and money) that Arslan did not. If you don’t agree with me…

Yes, I did, and the animation is definitely not on par with FMA. The style is the same but the simple backdrops, frame skipping, reuse of sequences, hokey CG, etc. are all a big difference - what happens on a smaller budget.

The anime production quality isn’t nearly on the same level as FMA (story either, though it is pretty good) but yes the character design is virtually identical.

THX 1138 reference as well :)

No, nor do I feel like the rest of the game is “oddly broken”, since with TTK they’ve actually fixed quite a lot. The main remaining problems with the game are related to the mesh networking model which isn’t going to have a proper solution until the next full game.

If you ever grew up wanting to be an astronaut or even took a rough interest in NASA, I can’t recommend enough that you watch Space Brothers. It’s written as all-ages fare and certainly simplifies things, but it’s actually *about* adults (that unlike other anime actually act something like 30-somethings or older for…

An easier was is just to start an xbox live party and sit in there alone (make invite only if you don’t want friends dropping in). That way you don’t have to fiddle with chat settings or mute before each game.

There’s a flip side to this too, that this and other subscription services exist because we want content, not ads, and plenty of people are legitimately willing to pay for it. As long as the price is fair and people are still able to post their free cat videos I don’t see a problem. We very much asked for this…

You do realize that if they reduce the range/damage of shotguns further than what they are right now, hit registration and distance will only become more irregular and result in *more* “bullshit I should have killed him” moments. The fact is, Destiny’s lag in their mesh networking model means some distance on the gun…

Never equip the last word when heading into a match while working on that quest, deaths don’t count if you don’t have it equipped. Equip it after you are sure you have (un)worthy opponents.
