Yeah, what were they expecting? Real world money, fame and fortune for something that anyone could unlock in a video game? I don’t get how these arbitrary values get assigned to in-game items - like if a cool looking sword that has higher attack at the cost of health regen isn’t worth it, what is? Armour for Agro?

What’s that got to do with anything?

Yeah, to me a speedrun is playing through the entire game as quickly as possible, and all the memorisation, skill, rehearsal and luck it takes to be able to do that.

At this point, I’d just love to see a digital re-release of BfME I & II on Origin, but even that is unlikely to happen due to the complicated licensing issues of such things.

What about getting it from a (reliable) APK mirror site?

But what sort of frame rate are you getting? According to this video, an Intel HD 520 can run Pillars of Eternity, but not smoothly - getting 11-16fps at 1280x720.

OK/Okay

Agreed on both counts. I watched a lot of X-Files at the time it was first aired from about season 3-4 onwards and first gave it a marathon rewatch when I got it all on DVD in 2004-2005 and thought it held up pretty well then - monster-of-the-week episodes are still great and the mythology episodes still seemed pretty…

I said there’s ‘inherent sexism in every movie, good and bad’, as in it’s inherent in both good movies and bad movies, because it’s an industry-wide problem - not that there’s good and bad inherent sexism in every movie.

Every president is President Drone Strikes.

There’s inherent sexism in every movie, good and bad. So at least what we’ve got out of this is a good movie and another instance of this issue being highlighted.

I hope they didn’t have to. Negotiating a $1.5 million payment isn’t something he would have specifically asked them to do - it’s just something they would have done as a matter of course because it’s a business and it’s their job to use whatever leverage they have to get as much money as possible - but giving that…

Yeah, every game in the GTA III trilogy was a huge technical advancement - in III you couldn’t swim, there were no motorbikes and the one plane in the game was kind of a joke. By San Andreas there were underwater areas to explore, there weren’t just motorbikes but also bicycles with realistic looking physics, and you…

My biggest problem with IV was that I never really gelled with Niko so I never really got into the story. But it was technically a great game (in terms of graphics, physics, etc.), and I loved the aesthetics of it, the map and the missions were great. I also like V, and think it has strengths and weaknesses in…

Came here to say the same thing - I’m not going to argue that they weren’t more realistic, because they probably were, but going from San Andreas to GTA IV made the GTA IV vehicles handling feel awful. Maybe the GTA IV physics would have been an improvement for a Gran Turismo game, but not for a Grand Theft Auto game.

You’re right, no one purchased Marvel Heroes - it was free to play. And anyone who pays for in-game purchases only has themselves to blame. Also, games like that, that are completely online and in constant development, are more services than products and services can and do cease to be provided. It’s not quite the…

No, I expect them to do the right thing for the sake of profit, and they get that from customers, so it amounts to the same thing.

I’ve been building PCs for 17 years but I didn’t own a car until 6 months ago and I’m learning that they’re basically the same. Not that I built my car from scratch, but I got the Haynes manual for it, taught myself how to give it a service and fixed a few other problems, and it’s just so satisfying to know exactly…

So true. The best way to diagnose a PC is to have a whole other PC next to it to swap one part from at a time.

Oh my God, thanks, now I’m getting flashbacks to my housemate asking for help because the PC that her boyfriend built for her wasn’t connecting to the internet - oh, and also it was sparking every time she switched it on and was it meant to do that?
