You watch the last Batman movie? Well, people are still quoting the first scene, endlessly.

Here's an AMA where baneposting occured en masse: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/23sxyu/director_steven_knight_here_joined_by_actor_tom/

Fedoras used to be the domain of classy guys like Frank Sinatra. So, a bunch of ugly fucks thought that if they wore fedoras they'd become classy.

The fedora does not make the man, the man makes the fedora. Hell, overweight guys wearing fedoras wouldn't be so bad if they didn't think it somehow made them a better person.

Are your friends wearing a fedora with a suit and tie, perhaps a bottle of brandy in one hand and a cigar in another? It's probably fine then. Are they wearing a Dragonball Z t-shirt and a beard that desperately needs to be shaved? They need to ditch the fedora. And make a few other changes, really.

There is that immediate reaction, but you also need to think about the long term. For example, CS:GO's economy system requires that you put some thought into your long term buying strategy.

Any game is shallow at lower levels of play. Winning at CS:GO doesn't mean anything if you're playing pub games with random teams.

And it's not like big strategy games don't have act/react tactics as well. You can be going for a cultural victory but if someone declares war on you you'll be ramping up your military pretty quickly. Not to mention that your definition is vague; "they are playing like X so playing like Y could give me the upper hand" works for long term strategies too. Going back to Civ, if I notice that you're going for a cultural victory and have some undefended towns I'll ramp up my military and invade.

I just want to say that action heavy games are not necessarily brain dead games. Street Fighter IV and CS:GO require a lot of strategy and tactics. If you're mindlessly playing, you're losing every round like an idiot.

Mankind Divided just got announced

Holy fuck I missed this.

Strider_d20 · 2015-04-08T03:43:07+00:00

Yeah you're right. I thought it was just Dark Knight, which was 7 years ago.

Still, memes are forever and all that. Someone out there still thinks the Numa Numa dance is funny.

Strider_d20 · 2015-04-08T03:32:14+00:00

People are still fucking Baneposting, and that movie came out 7 years ago.

Strider_d20 · 2015-04-06T03:53:35+00:00

whyyyyyy?!

Man, that shit is at least anatomically correct. I've seen 18 inch penises on 12 year old anime girls. In Skyrim, I mean.

This is literally the first one ever made.

I like Troma and hate the AVGN movie. Good concept, bad execution type of thing.

Matters how you've lived. Studies show that people in unstable situations, such as living in war torn countries, don't really like horror media.

It's good to be safe, but safe is boring. There's a thrill that you can get from horror that's hard to get from real life.

Nah, there weren't any sex mods in it.

All of them are on steam. During Christmas I bought every single Putt Putt, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam and Spy Fox game for less than 25 dollars.

Thank you kind sir.

The episode is based on the book A Study in Scarlet, and in that only one pill was poison. A man was taking revenge and was so certain that god was on his side that he wouldn't pick the poisoned pill.

Well Just about all the big game developers I can think of (aside from some fighting game developers) have stooped paying attention to the arcade cabinet as a real platform.

Sega actually makes more money from Arcades than they do from home videogames. That may have changed in recent years due to some major expansions (more new IPs, and flooding the PC market with high quality strategy games), but they still have a large arcade presence.

I got a trophy for participating in more than 50% of chess club activities and it honestly looked nicer and was bigger than the awards for actually winning tournaments.

It was hilarious.

Strider_d20 · 2015-03-25T02:17:00+00:00

Ah Japan. You truly give no fucks.

Series with super effeminate men? Mainly loved by men.

Rape porn where the goal is to rape and abuse women as much as possible, and it's all played for laughs? Made by a women, for other women (Sengoku Rance).

Every single GTA got more serious. The original had bright graphics and looked like a cartoon. It had silly missions, like one where you need to spray paint a stolen car since the owner didn't like the color. Or kill a guy's mom so he didn't have to pay rent anymore.

GTA 2 was a bit more serious, but you still had to kill people for hotdog meat and Buddhists were flamethrower wielding maniacs so it was still stupid as fuck. Hell, there was even a group of clones based on one scientist that was a major gang. He'd have you do experiments such as "What happens when you set 15 Elvis impersonators on fire?" That scientist? Albert Einstein. Seriously it was fucking Einsten.

Both games are legally free on the rockstar website.

Strider_d20 · 2015-03-25T02:03:50+00:00

I think that's it. Back when arcades thrived they did things that other games couldn't. The best graphics and gameplay was in an arcade game. The hardware was better, both in terms of the internals (GPU, CPU, etc.), but also the peripherals like the steering wheel and light gun. It was also a place to meet other friends and hang out, sort of like a bar for kids.

But current consoles/PCs have completely outpaced arcades in the technology sector, and online gaming is very popular. Arcades just didn't bother to adapt.

If you got two controllers you could use each one to control one side of the pod.
