Or, if you're still that worried about what people think about you, you could realise the golden rule about what people think about you:

That bug is amazing. Also, the very nature of Fallout means it's going to be riddled with bugs, unlike what is presumably a more confined, linear experience in the vein of Prey 2. They probably excised as many as they possibly could have within the confines of their budget/ ETA for the game. I can't say that I ever encountered that bug, and I started that game twice on PC.

Yeah, but that last episode was a little embarrassing. The show tends to treat most subcultures with a hammy fist. I say this as a voracious and experienced advocate of realdolls.

Don't worry bro, I got you covered

I refer you to this as all the reasons I really enjoy the game Evidently, it's best played with a very well coordinated team with a diverse class makeup that are all communicating over ventrilo, and that's something I'd really like to set up, if people on here are interested at all, and which shouldn't really be a problem since the game is totally free to play. At the moment though, I'm having more fun than I can describe understanding the contours of every map, and skiing across the landscape at full speed.

Yes, the thing is, I don't think Bethesda were aware of how bug ridden Fallout and Skyrim were, simply because even a substantial QA team of 40 people wouldn't have been able to put in the amount of time, and had the diversity of play styles that the game's eventual 6 million strong audience would have been able to, and thus there would just have been a lot of problems that weren't uncovered until you got the game in people's hands. Any game as systemic as the stuff Bethesda puts out is going to be host to some issues.

This reminds me of that scene in Ghost World where Thora Birch's character submits the Golliwog painting as her final art project, and the parents who see it at the gallery are immediately outraged without understanding the context, or the fact that it was commenting on how ubiquitous that sort of imagery used to be in America. The cake isn't "racist," but it's manipulating racial stereotypes and idioms to say something about racism. People are retarded.

You evidently do to some degree, otherwise you wouldn't be posting at all brah.

Even in a subjective field, it really irks me when people present the ubiquity of divergent tastes as a reason to avoid debate and discussion. Like, seriously, grow a fucking critical faculty, otherwise you're obviously going to be percieved as being vacuous.

Yes, clearly that was the real flaw with that paragraph.

1. It was a joke. 2. I don't like Steve Vai, and I never have 3. Actually, I'm retconning my first point: Linkin Park are balls. They append juvenile, poorly worded lyrics to some of the most banal chord progressions you can imagine. Still, music is a relative process based on pattern recognition and therefore subjective. Nevertheless, pattern recognition is a faculty that reflects intelligence, so I can safely lambast your dumb ass for liking this heinous shit. 4. I'm still joking.

Dude, Linking Park are the grossest antique of the early 00s. Why the fuck to people continue to try and make them relevant by bringing up their tired asses in conversation? It's literally just as bad as having a thread open talking about the merits and the emotional resonance of the Vengaboys. Fuck you guys, you're the reason these dickpickles still put out albums.

Perhaps, shockingly, there's some correlation between it being late and her being tired?

Why stop there? I forsee a multitude of merchandising opportunities involving the invariably lucrative yet artistically meritorious intellectual property known as "The Expendables." Truly, there being nothing more expendable than a nut busted in front of a monitor displaying a badly photoshopped nude of the aptly named Charisma Carpenter - one of the many classy babes that will adorn "The Expendables" advertisements on bus shelters across the country - I imagine a whole line of Expendables branded fleshlites, especially designed for the average internet dwelling superfan of wide body and tiny member to be able to plough in full view of the Expendables branded holographic art book out now! Say hello to your monster while sobbing into the holographically projected knockers of badly spray tanned hollywood starlets today!

Well of course, you would expect any fan of such a diverse and profound subject matter to want to experience it across multiple media. I for one await the online webcomic and slash fiction created by the fan community of the incredible and unique first person shooter video game based on an intense science fiction film based on a childrens board game of which you speak.

What, you wouldn't pay to watch Battleship, the intense science fiction film based on a childrens board game? Well sir, evidently you need to sort your shit out.

I keep seeing this on the first page and keep wondering whether it's just here for the purpose of what I imagine would be an intelligent discourse bashing this shit for existing. Instead it's a bunch of nerds pouring weird perhaps-ironic-but-probably-not adulation over an amalgamation of embarrassing hollywood has beens trying to cop enough chedder to keep their growth hormone suppliers paid off. Fuck you guys, you're the reason rectal leakage like this gets funded.

Nah it was necessary. People don't hate on each other enough on this forum so we need the occasional pariah to walk in like the hobos that wander into student parties to try and score some lambrini dregs only to get pissed on by your drunken friend who's one late night rendition of wonderwall away from an asbo.

That's fucking bizarre. You should let her know in as gentle a way as possible (or not) that you can't set up roadblocks in the course of your own life just to keep her personal neurosis at bay.

I feel as if somebody put something in my drink, because nothing on this thread makes a lick of sense.

The guns aren't the interesting aspect - they seem like fairly standard futuristic sci-fi fare, and the shooting aspects are really very twitch based, more akin to traditional PC shooters than something like Battlefield 3 which has a more considered pace. The best thing about Tribes is the feeling you get from actually maneuvering around the game space, launching yourself off hills and trying to gain as much speed as possible so you can grab the enemy flag before they even realise you're on your way.

I haven't played 3, and I know that in Bad Comapany there are things such as shot spread and bullet drop to account for so what I said wasn't wholly accurate. However it's the same in Tribes; some weapons are aim and shoot, while with most you have to lead the target by some distance. Nevertheless, you know what I mean

You have to really practice the shooting, because you're not going to hit anyone if you don't anticipate where they're going to be by the time your bullets reach them. The hit detection isn't like in Call of Duty or Battlefield where if someone is in your crossheirs and you press the trigger, it is guaranteed to hit them, but is rather based on calculating actual distances in the physical space. Secondly, the fun in the game isn't about killing as many dudes as possible, its about traversing the landscapes at huge speeds, and coordinating team attacks to overwhelm enemy defences around their flags. I've already pumped about 20 hours into the game and I've only had it for a week.

That video makes me want to break out the bong. The Hamlet quote "What a piece of work is a man" at 5:45 seems so out of place too considering in the actual play it fits in a pretty sinister context.
