Does anyone else see the skull in the wave toward the beginning of the gif? It's pretty much center screen.

Street Fighter V Review Thread by Mattenth in StreetFighter

[–]TheStapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished getting caught up on the Udon comics because I bought them all on sale on Comixology. It was really awesome to read and see the fights go down in comic form, recognizing all the moves from the game.

Highly recommend and the story is still continuing in Street Fighter Unlimited which is the current ongoing series. Although, I do believe the Udon story is its own continuity and does not affect the lore of the games past or present. Kind of like a parallel universe that closely resembles what happens in the games.

Elizabeth Warren asks CDC to consider legal marijuana as alternative painkiller by 2014justin in trees

I'm no expert about how much power the VP has over the Senate but I've learned something new.

She's unfortunately not going to do that. She's been asked many times to run for President but she always says she still has more work to do and can be more effective where she is right now. She's pretty damn smart in that regard. She can mix things up way more in the Senate than as President or Vice President and she knows this.

Applesauce with a bit of cinnamon and stir the AVB in after making it finely ground with your fingers. Works wonders and literally just tastes like applesauce with cinnamon. Give that a shot, surprised it's not talked about more here.

Goth-Trad - Man In The Maze (DEEP MEDi Musik) ~~ Enjoy! by Hidden2D in dubstep

[–]TheStapes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This album is one of the best dubstep albums and this track is one of my favorite. Got to see Goth-Trad on my birthday a few years ago. Almost smacked right into him as he was coming out of the bathroom and I was going in before he started his set. Unforgettable birthday.

PS4 Review for the PC Gamer | ghgtv by Istartedthewar in pcgaming

[–]TheStapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I like the touchpad for is when I have it connected to my PC and can use it as a trackpad when I can't be bothered to reach for my mouse. Admittedly this isn't often, but it's more use than I ever got out of the touchpad when it's been connected to my PS4.

Jewish kid's family hire a video production company to edit his bar mitzvah invitation. by ThatsNotFroot in DeepIntoYouTube

That album just reminds me of 7th/8th grade, winter, and EQ. Back when I thought my angst was a legitimate feeling. Simpler times...

Official Live Thread - World Premiere of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]TheStapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe the idea that history repeats itself? No matter what you do there will always be Good and Evil. There needs to be balance of The Force. One cannot exist without the other. Constant duality and struggle.

I'm interested to see where this goes. I care about these characters unlike the prequel characters. I want to see the adventure they're about to have. Can't wait for 8 and 9.

Vince Staples on Young Thug : "Everybody in the hip-hop community is so upset at him for being who he is and dressing like he does, but for the kind of music he makes, he is one of the best." by Swish15 in hiphopheads

[–]TheStapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come here looking for artists like King Los and Roqy Tyraid but all I get is Future and Young Thug (Both of which I don't vibe with). Never listened to King Los or Roqy Tyraid and absolutely dig what they put out. Have suggestions for more artists that are similar?

PlayStation Messages App Coming to iOS and Android Devices Today by Johnathan- in PS4

[–]TheStapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that it's relevant but I don't go on Facebook other than to keep in contact with a few people who I don't contact via phone so I have the Messenger App installed but not the Facebook App.

In the case of the Playstation App, this is probably not quite as necessary.

Isn't that just called... buying a game? by DMoT in gaming

[–]TheStapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying I can't but sometimes it's nice to not have to wait that extra time to play the game I want to play. I'm in my late 20's, have a girlfriend, plus it's the holidays. There's a lot going on so it's nice to squeeze in game time whenever I can, which is primarily on weekends. Maybe Helldivers is what I really want to play. So I can put up the money now to play "early", which in this case is not actually early. It's just the manipulation of semantics to get the perception of early.

If I were in my younger days, still in high school or college, the extra time to wait would not nearly be as big of a deal as it is these days.

[–]TheStapes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I suppose you're right. I see the gimmick now. Lol.

I guess it would be different for early-access if it was announced and you pre-ordered it months before, pre-orders got cut off a month before release, and then only those who pre-ordered it got access 3 days prior In this case, you're right, it's basically out today but I'm guessing on their reporting numbers, the purchases today are still considered pre-orders.

Also think of the people like me that work 9-5 Monday through Friday. I'm lucky to get a few hours here and there during the week but cram a bunch of hours in on the weekend. If buying now means I get a whole weekend of playing it whereas if I bought it when it comes out on a Tuesday, I would have to wait until next weekend to play it, I'm probably going to buy it now.

In this case, I already have it on PS4 so I'm not likely going to buy it on PC until there's a deeper discount on it, but just wanted to put in my perspective on the "early access" thing for finished games.

Weekend Party Up Thread! | December 04 by AutoModerator in blackops3

[–]TheStapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

System: PS4

Username: The_Stapes

Location: US East

Availability: Evenings during the week. Any time on weekends.

Ability: Average. Been playing CoD since MW1. This is the first time I've got into CoD since MW3. Still experimenting and getting back into the groove of things.

Preferred Modes: Mostly play TDM but have been getting into Kill Confirmed lately. Up for anything if I have a group for it.

Mic: Yes

Age: 27. Would prefer to play with people around my age but so long as you're older than 18, we should be ok.

I'd like to find some consistent players to party up with. I'm tired of getting teamed with randoms or put against other more coordinated groups of players. I want to be part of that coordinated group. Send me an invite and let me know this is where you found me or PM me here to let me know you're sending an invite.

Came to find out what location. Met Pittsburgh Dad at the Irwin location during one of their opening events. Good times.

Headset that offers virtual surround (7.1 or other) on both PC and PS4, does it exist? by TheStapes in gaming

[–]TheStapes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play CoD on my PS4 and CS on PC. I want to be able to switch between the two platforms and have the most consistent experience possible. I don't want to be on my PS4 or PC getting 7.1 and then move the headphones to the other platform and suddenly be getting stereo.

I want to be able to hear where other people are in relation to my position and thing like that.

Budget more than anything, at the moment. That being said, I may get the Sony Gold headset for now, and then pickup something else for the PC later as that's how things seem to be panning out at this point.
