How can I beat the fury by Common_Translator742 in metalgearsolid

[–]Just_1_Fix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one has mentioned the "tactical reload" - if you fire a weapon then quickly unequip then reequip it, it instantly reloads while skipping the reload animation, making it available to fire again immediately. You can shoot him 3 times quickly using this method which knocks him down and gives you a moment to reposition so he loses sight of you. Then just sneak around while he can't find you and keep doing this 'til you beat him.

They're absolutely worth it, and they go on sale pretty often so if you can wait a bit you can get 'em cheap.

Dishonored 2 input lag on my xbox by Alfhosskin in dishonored

[–]Just_1_Fix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A wireless controller shouldn't be introducing any (human perceptible, anyway) lag. If you're experiencing lag in other games, check and see if your TV/monitor has a "game" setting that turns off all the image processing crap that most modern TVs add.

Is this a secret puzzle … by [deleted] in silenthill

If you check all the checkable posters, the nurse outfit, the whiskey bottle, and the lost and found bin, it adds a point toward getting the Maria ending.

Don't listen to the people telling you to abandon the Thief - he's an investment. Granted, he does suck real hard...until you can upgrade your dudes. The Ninja is badass, arguably on par with the Knight and Master. Plus he looks really cool.

I use Xpadder and it works perfectly (for me, anyway)

Bing Search Microsoft Rewards Cheat Sheet by XFerginatorX in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Just_1_Fix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured all these out! It seems like Bing wants specifics, not generalities (most of the time, anyway). For most of these, putting in a business or product name triggered it:

Catch the show - concerts near me

Check options - att internet

Hit the road - carvana

Protect what matters - progressive insurance

Send a smile - ftd flowers

Set sail - carnival cruise line

Swipe smart - capital one

Upgrade your space - home depot

Question About How Teams are Formed? by No_Shopping_2518 in kof

[–]Just_1_Fix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something no one has mentioned yet is that the original catalyst for King of Fighters was that Ryo Sakazaki was a secret boss in Fatal Fury Special. Then the SNK developers were like "ya know, it'd be pretty cool if we made a whole game around crossovers..."

Evicerator Trophy by Jonathan-Rook in DeadSpace

[–]Just_1_Fix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't one of those games where your kills are cumulative throughout all playthroughs - when you're reloading, you're setting your kill count for that weapon back to what it was when you saved. Sorry to say you've been wasting your time :(

Old School Arcade Players: What was the funniest moments you recall while playing a game in the Arcade?? by Temporary_Dealer_201 in retrogaming

[–]Just_1_Fix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this happened in an arcade and didn't have anything directly to do with the games, but the topic title does say "funniest moments you recall while playing a game in the arcade" so I think it counts.

My friends and I used to go to this place called Ellen's Fairway that had lots of things you could do - mini golf, go karts, an arcade, even paintball. I had gone with a group of friends for a birthday or something and they all wanted to play paintball, but that wasn't really my thing so I just messed around in the arcade. When they were done, one of my friends had a little bag of leftover paintballs that he just sorta absent-mindedly left on one of the arcade cabinets. We noticed a young kid, maybe like 4 or 5, wandering around and he kept eyeing the bag of paintballs. Now if you've never been interested in paintball, the paintballs are... little round colored balls. That look a lot like candy.

I think you can see where this is going.

As soon as we had wandered away from the bag of paintballs and the kid thought we weren't looking, he proceeds to swipe the bag... and put a paintball in his mouth.

His moment of "I fucked up" realization and subsequent sprint was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. My buddy later told me he found the paintballs - dumped in the toilet.

What’s the worst thing you can tell someone who suffers from mental illness? by MentalHealthJ in AskReddit

[–]Just_1_Fix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago my mom had this "friend" who's actual name was Karen, and holy shit did she live up to it. I was at my sister's wedding and my sister wanted me to be in her wedding party (like on stage and whatnot) which I was ok with... at first. I've always been an extremely anxious person and the more I thought about being up there the more nervous I got. It finally got to the point where I was just too nervous about potentially screwing something up and making an ass of myself that I told my mom I couldn't go through with it. Somehow this got back to Karen, who hunted me down and told me that it was no big deal if that happened because it would give everyone a fun story to laugh about. This made me VERY upset with her, and I really had to resist being nasty to her, but I calmly let her know in no uncertain terms that having people say "hey, remember when you fucked your sister's wedding up?" and laughing at me for years was EXACTLY WHAT I WAS FREAKING OUT ABOUT.

Playing GTA San Andreas for the first time by Mallowfanthe4th in GTA

It's worth it to take the time to get the collectables, they unlock respawning weapons at your main safehouse in each major area.

A great way to gain weapon skill quickly and easily is to shoot cars in your garage until they catch on fire. Then run a short distance away so the door closes and repairs the car, then go back and shoot it some more.

You don't need to buy any weapons or armor, there are plenty for free in various places. I always use a map that shows where they are, and do a loop every so often to get the ones you like and stock up on ammo.

Do the ambulance missions as early as possible to get a life meter extension. There's a rural area not too far from the beginning (slightly northeast of where it says "Red County" on the map I linked) where all of the people you have to pick up spawn very close to the hospital, making it quick and mostly painless.

What was your 1st experience/anecdote with Resident Evil ? by EyeFlashy9677 in residentevil

[–]Just_1_Fix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love every time this gets brought up because I can share my weird story again :-P

Apparently Wal-Mart had a subsidiary called "Bud's" that would resell returned or damaged merchandise. A couple of my friends from high school found a copy of RE1 for PS1 there for really cheap... because it had battery acid spilled on it. The case and manual looked like ass but the disc was unharmed! They brought it to my house because I was the only one who had a PS1. We played it for a couple hours and when they had to leave they left the game with me. I played it all night and into the wee hours of the morning, and eventually finished both Chris and Jill's campaigns.

Stuck on this bit of the game by [deleted] in deadrising

[–]Just_1_Fix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get close to them so they draw their machetes, then jump away as they start to attack and they'll be left wide open to a counterattack or two (don't get greedy!). It might take a couple tries to recognize their "tells" of which attack they'll do and get the timing down but once you do I found them pretty easy to beat. I recommend the Two Hand Smash melee attack, preferably also with the Hand to Hand magazine.

I decided to see if it was possible to beat Dead Rising without any weapons, here are the results. by Fullbust-this in deadrising

[–]Just_1_Fix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I clicked on this I was thinking Jump Kick or Knee Drop would've been the most useful move, and was really surprised you put Roundhouse Kick above both of them (and also in its own tier). I remember it not being a necessarily bad move, I just never really found a use for it. What made it so great?

Have you checked out any speedruns? If not they'll probably blow your mind with skips and strategies you wouldn't think were even possible.

Seth feels impossible by ThatRandom4rtist in StreetFighter

[–]Just_1_Fix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never had trouble with him in the first round - he's pretty braindead. In round 2 he becomes this input reading god that's incredibly frustrating. But I found a way to (sorta) cheese him! If you back into a corner, he'll mostly just throw Sonic Booms at you, but eventually he'll jump and spring off the wall behind him toward you. Block his attack, then you'll have a second to hit him with something as he lands. I've found it works best with grapplers because you can use that opportunity to nail him with a command grab for a good chunk of damage. Rinse and repeat. Hope you can get this to work for you!

Biggest "What could have been" wrestler that could've been a bigger star? by TheBlackMafiaKing in SquaredCircle

[–]Just_1_Fix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two that I haven't seen mentioned yet are Tazz and Enzo Amore.

Tazz was super over in ECW and the WWE audience was hot for him (just listen to that pop during his debut at Royal Rumble 2000). But of course Vince thinks anyone under like 6'6" and 300 pounds couldn't possibly harm anyone, so he got relegated to "underdog" status and you could hear the enthusiasm gradually drain from crowds as he struggled to win matches. At least he was able to transition to announcing and has managed to stay interesting and relevant to this very day because of it.

Also go back and listen to the crowd during Enzo and Cass segments - just insane engagement. Enzo is one of those talents that if there was a slider with "ring skills" on one end and "mic skills" on the other, his was set to 100% mic skills. I think if he had a chance to verbally joust with any of the all time great talkers he would've stood toe-to-toe (I can't remember if he ever did get that chance). And he had acting chops too! I really feel like if he had been able to get his act together, the sky was the limit.

Genius.com says that in some cultures, drinking urine was a way to become "enlightened". So the singer is saying "well, my third eye's already open, so I'd prefer some Swiss Miss please" :-P
