Yeah. I got back into CS GO after playing Counterstrike from beta 7 to CS 1.6. Things have changed significantly since then. Crouching is generally frowned upon now except in the middle of a firefight to throw people off your head. Burst fire in CS GO now is used at short to medium ranges because of the tighter bullet…

I don't know but a tow truck isn't exactly inconspicuous.

I loved Saga Frontier. It is by far one of the most underrated and unheard of RPGs I've ever played. It is a little grindy, but the battle system was my first experience with the SaGa series and so I felt it incredibly original. I never get so excited as when I see a light bulb popping up above my character's head in…

Why do you think I'm here?

I hate Avast. So many popup and annoying sounds and then it turns on a web firewall that slows down all my browsing to a crawl. Then after I turn it off, it turns itself back on. I used AVG, McCafe, Norton, Kaspersky, Nod32, Panda and Zone Alarm. Nod32 and Kaspersky were my best experiences and the rest were somewhat…

It takes a bit of experimenting to really find what works in combat, but after that point it's pretty smooth sailing for me. I'm actually extremely surprised that other people are having a difficult time with the combat. It is one of the most fun aspects of the game for me. At the beginning of the game it was tough…

You can absolutely go through the game without crafting but I find that crafting is extremely useful. I did not put any points into blacksmithing because my party is full of wizards and blacksmithing primarily deals with metal stuff. Yes, the game gives you an abundant amount of gold but there is certain limit to what…

Counterstrike is a game. It's not trying to be super realistic. If you want to be realistic, you can always join the army. Most every modern FPS I do not like because they have iron sights. They completely get in the way of my vision and obstruct it. If I see an enemy, I have to waste an entire half second to bring up…

I have had a similar experience not related to a person's joy in trolling, but more related to a person's behavior and personality. It was not necessarily a mind blowing experience for me to find out that how people behave online is not actually all that different from how they behave off line. Especially when the…

This is similar to how the current Bnet is designed. Instead of having a big huge number attached to your name like they did with Starcraft 1, they decided to divide everyone into small 100 person divisions called leagues. Then within every league, there is a skill level attached to it. This makes your actual ranking…

I am disappointed. Here I was thinking this would be a new Snacktaku article.

Speed readers read every word. They aren't skipping words. They are just taking in words faster. Words are ideas. They are also images. It would be like if you were shown a series of pictures of instead of words. You would know the "idea" of the pictures you just saw because you can process them much faster. You can…

This person is correct. Sub vocalization is a bad habit that slows down a reader's reading speed. However, we have been taught since a young age to read aloud or with-in our heads. Overcoming the bad habit helps one read much faster, which is what many speed reading programs are designed to do.

I own at least 10 different mousepads. Many of them are listed in this thread, including Razer, Func, Ratzpads, Steelseries and Artisan mousepads. This is my mouse pad of choice. A lot of people prefer cloth, I prefer hard plastic because I dislike the extra drag that comes with cloth and I like a smooth glide. The…

That's weird. I actually liked the shooting system on Uncharted 1 and I played it on normal. It was ridiculously easy for me to get headshots in that game and I was trying to get that achievement for multiple headshots in a row even. 25 I think it was. I'm not that good particularly at console shooters, but Uncharted…

Do you type while looking at the keyboard? I don't understand why it would seem strange.

He's right. You can't talk via microphone at whomever you are playing. So the most rage you usually get is just angry text comments about how bad you are and how you should die from cancer.

I hated Xenosaga. Xenogears on the other hand is .... legendary.
