Maybe I just need something new, but I'm not sure it will happen.

Yeah, it comes and goes with me. Sometimes it's just an hour a week. Since I bought Fallout 4 in February it's been probably 20 to 40 hours a week, haha.

So I'm gonna do Pokemon Cocktails today themed around Eeveelutions since it's my 21st birthday.

I'm gonna do Glaceon and Flareon.

Glaceon is rum, Blue Curacao, Peppermint Schnapps, lemonade, soda water, and sugar on the rim.

Flareon is Fireball, Peach Schnapps, iced tea, lemonade, and strawberry syrup.

Dis gon be gud.

For all the people on here that play steam games. Specifically CS:GO, we should all do a competitive match. Would be kinda fun. Add me on steam, Birdy_FTW

Added you. I play CS pretty often. I haven't done a lot of comp since the derank. MM is kinda frustrating/toxic when you're lone wolfing it.

Well guys, I tried, but I just can't do it anymore. Finally figured out it was my bridge that was causing massive packet loss. Replaced it the other day, and it's just gone.

I can't find any entertainment value in games anymore. I'll try again in a few months. Kind of sad, been at it since CS 1.3

Maybe I just need something new, but I'm not sure it will happen.

I miss the old days of Mechwarrior 3/4 or Tribes. Speaking of which, I'll have to install the new Tribes again.

I picked up Halo 5 since it was on sale for 30 bucks.

The campaign was pretty meh. Shitty character development out the wazoo. You'd have to have read the Halo book series to understand and know who Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris are, and I have. Yet anyone else is probably confused why there are suddenly 7 more Spartan IVs. The AI for your team is absolute crap and you can't rely on them to revive you, especially not when you're playing solo Legendary. They'll sit and look at you for a couple seconds almost every time and then they'll get shot or naded as they're reviving you, so they're useless cannon fodder, especially for Hunters, which are incredibly bullshit on Legendary. No Fuel Rod Cannon misses and every single time they turn around before you can break their armor, then they pimp slap you with a shield into a wall and you die immediately.

And the last boss fight with the Warden Eternal on Legendary difficulty is a joke. You can just avoid it by using your thrusters and Spartan Charge to hop on a ledge to get to the end of the level instead of fighting him.

Multiplayer is definitely the highlight of the game though. No stupid ordinance drops for participating and the REQ system for accessories and XP boosts is pretty nice. You can sell whatever junk REQ unlocks you get to buy more packs for better unlocks. Games play out much faster than H4 or H3. Almost like H2 levels of calamity. Vehicle control is much better. No more flipping around in a Warthog because you hit a rock just barely.

Leveling up is just stupid when games give you harder enemies as you level up. Relatively nothing changes.

Seriously that's why I appreciate the recent games like SW battlefront.. Division is on the border but if you're at that level to handle the NPCs it'll get boring fast.. You mainly need people to game it with.. It's basically destiny but less high jumps. I still like it though

[supermansocks95]

Anyone excited about Red Dead Redemption 2? I think I'm gonna get the first one just so I can play it again. Probably my favorite rockstar game for the "wild west" setting.

having to level up which is time consuming makes it annoying

I was talking about PS4.5

"4k" gaming in a console. Really just the current reso's up-scaled and the ability to play 4k video.

Enjoy Sony trying to tear more money out of your wallets friends.

Right? Well I think open world games take the fun out of playing.. Oddly enough I think a bit too much liberty and having to level up which is time consuming makes it annoying

Full choke seems to help buckshot at range too since the spread is tighter. It always said don't run choke and slug at the same time, but I did it for a while without realizing. I'm sure its bad in real life, but I saw no real difference in game.

Anyone getting into The Division now that it's out? I watched some gameplay and wasn't all that impressed, but I have friends and people at work raving about it. I was a little thrown off from how the damage output is more rpg style. I was thinking it was going to be a bit more realistic.

New Farcry looks kind of lame too, the same game again, but they took all the guns away.

The Division will be dead in a month, not worth picking up unless they announce a ton of free expansions imo.

Primal is a copy paste of Far Cry 4, looked like a DLC turned full game to me.



My Non Shooter gameplay is still good ;)

[Nesset]

Anyone else into classic games? Recently got a NES and SNES from my little brother with a few games. Been tearing it up on Donkey Kong Country 2. Pretty sweet looking game for 1994 or so.

I also have a bunch of old Gameboy Color stuff. Maybe i'm the weird one in the group....

[mexocutioner]

I absolutely hate shotguns in BF4. I don't understand how they're effective from so far away. I get picked off from crazy distances with them all the time.


Like this fucker.
EDIT: actually it's usually buckshot that gets me from crazy distances, not slugs

Still getting pissed off by admins booting me from servers if I start doing better than whatever clan runs the server. Probably should just start playing on dice/ea servers or something... An added benefit would be that I don't have to worry about servers with stupid "No stinger/igla" rules.
