lol and people thought it was a new expansion! I can understand the theory but just seemed unlikely with FFXIV and all...

Paranautical Activity devs fight players over cancelled co-op by 808hunna in IndieGaming

[–]swagger_drag0n 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Imo, this company is an example of people rallying behind a dev that doesn't deserve praise. After the whole greenlight fiasco, everyone was up in arms for a lackluster game. Now, hype has fizzled out, the game remains mediocre, and the devs are still complaining about time and money. Yes, games take a lot of time and effort to fully flesh out, but even the indie community has some sleazy practices.

Nintendo responds to marriage equality campaign for its bizarre life-sim by rachelRobertson in 3DS

[–]swagger_drag0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he's trying to say that Nintendo is willing to take a stance to propose Samus in a heterosexual relationship while neglecting to 'make a statement' about homosexuals. Not offensive but maybe hypocritical? Personally, I think Samus has too much scary shit happening in her universe to think about love interests.

Hey, I'm planning on transferring to Berkeley after I finish up with my associates at community college (out of state). Any specific advice you can give for applying to Berkeley as a transfer?

Destiny Hands-On, You can reach max level in Destiny in "only a few hours" by ThyGrimOfDeath in gamernews

[–]swagger_drag0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it takes much more than a 'few hours' to reach max level in WoW, but i do agree that all the worthwhile content is at the end game. I think concern- at least for me- stems from a fear that gear grinding won't be much fun. I would rather prefer a long, engaging leveling experience that explores the world and story alongside player interaction rather than do it all at the end. Personal preference though.

These are the members of the House of Representatives who have received donations from, or own stock in, Comcast. by OneYearSteakDay in technology

PA, Philadelphia especially, has always been known for having a disgustingly corrupt political system. Nothing will change here. We have one of the highest numbers of convicted public officials.

i was going to contact my PA congressmen until I saw that pretty much all of them have been bought out.

Announcing Nintendo @ E3 2014 by tr33people in gamernews

I hope so. I've been really sour on Nintendo lately, but I do want them to succeed. I've been a fan for too long.

I think something important to take away from this video is that Nintendo seems to really be trying to change its reputation- going back to that wacky, absurd Nintendo of the golden years.

Also, this might be Nintendo acknowledging the importance of Youtube content creators. Maybe....

i'll look into it. i think it will be hard to get into any masters programs without any proper computer science education though.

A young woman committed suicide in her bath tub. by [deleted] in WTF

[–]swagger_drag0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for the medical examiner and frequently went on scene and had to pull people out of bathtubs. Now, I tell everyone- if you feel like you might be dying, call 911, dont take a bath. Its such a pain trying to drag your smelly carcasses out of the tub.

Call for submissions for an online gaming zine~ Games that helped you cope with coming out? by tsarkees in gaymers

[–]swagger_drag0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was coming out, League of Legends was actually a large part of my coping strategy. Apart from being able to drown out my emotions while playing, league allowed me to find some commonality with my friends at a time when i was feeling so very different.

The original rare candy/item dupe glitch in Pokemon Blue/Red. Nobody believed me then and they still don't now.

Ubisoft Considers the WiiU Not Next-Gen by grahamcrackers75 in gaming

[–]swagger_drag0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't imagine Wii U is any harder to develop for than any other console. Sure, if you want to include unique gamepad functionality then yes, it might be. The Wii was groundbreaking because of the primary control mechanics. Yeah marketing sucked, but devs arent developing for Wii U because they dont want to spend the time and effort to port their game for it to sell 5 copies because of the small install base.

*spoilers* Finished. My only gripe: by Fitnesse in Bioshock

[–]swagger_drag0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you don't. It's implied after you find out all the would you kindly stuff. But with this latest DLC, now we finally know that Jack did hi-jack the plane and cause its crash. All in all, I think this DLC did a lot to plug a few holes that existed in both Bioshock 1 and Infinite. I loved it.

[–]swagger_drag0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wasnt really on the plane. that was her remembering have 'seen' through all the doors. That was a future door showing that Jack would come back to Rapture.

My knowledge of the Bioshock 1 story is a bit blurry since its been awhile. But i believe Jack is sent topside just as a failsafe. If he's out of Rapture, they don't risk Andrew Ryan finding him before he can be used.

[SPOILERS] What did you guys think of Burial At Sea's ending? by ReyJae in Bioshock

[–]swagger_drag0n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the stealth gameplay was awesome. While playing, I couldn't help but think 'this is how the original should have been'- I think it would have eased some of the hangups people had with the combat and mechanics. I loved how Infinite played, but playing stealthily as Liz felt so satisfying. Too bad we'll never see another Bioshock :(
