Has anyone played this game? I’m thinking about downloading it to this crappy PC and checkin’ it out. It looks awesome. Team Fortress 2 meets Conker Live and Reloaded + Brutal Legend + Monday Night Combat + Ratchet and Clank?

#16543

Loadout was good for a while but it died off as the devs abandoned the PC version.

#16544

Damn, that’s disappointing. It looks like a lot of fun and I’ve missed out on a lot of PC games in the last two years. Did the devs abandon it to prioritize the PS4 version or something?

#16545

Apperently yes, hence why some people call the pc version a beta.
Can’t say anything about the PS4 version as I don’t own one.

I mean there’s no harm trying the game as it’s free and all.

Can’t decide if I should buy BO3 or not.

#16546

Gotcha. Yeah, I’ll give it a try. As for BO3, I wouldn’t buy it until it’s on sale. It looks a lot better than that disaster of a game AW, but by no means is it that great. It’s about on par with MW3, imo. It’s better than Ghosts and AW, but nowhere near the first 2 in the Modern Warfare or Black Ops trilogies.

In other news, I hope Pissburgh destroys Cinci tonight.

Update: Hahahaha! 25 years without a playoff victory and 5 straight first-round exits! That entire stadium was out of control. Bengal players have no discipline and their fans are repulsive. Throwing stuff at an injured player being carted off of the field? Are you kidding me? And this is coming from someone that hates the Steelers as well. Cinci imploded and lost the game for themselves. Ah, feels so wonderful. I’m gonna sleep well tonight. :smile:

The situation with North Korea is comical, truly. Apparently America and S. Korea are jealous of their supposed H-bomb test

Did anyone else watch AGDQ this year?
Wasn’t as good as previous years but other than that, why have a Bloodborne run on the last day when the run isn’t even good? Awful game to run considering all the problems that game has. I’m pj over bad game.

#16550

I flipped it on a few times over the past week. Not my first option but I enjoyed watching it when I did.

#16551

Out of the Souls games, I’d prefer Dark Souls II pre-patch, that run is real good.

#16552

If only. While this is how the internet might appears on the surface, the last I read on the subject suggested that the very enabling nature of the internet has caused people to segregate further rather than less. Actually I may have spoken to you on this at some point Barry, though not recently I think. Essentially however we’ve moved from a certain perspective where we knew people based not on their similarity to us, but other miscellaneous factors (neighbors, co-workers, etc), to a situation where even people we interact with regularly are self selected for similarity for the most part. Interestingly, this holds up both in terms of say a social media feed, and the increasing polarization of state level politics.

From recollection, only Steamworks games do. I could be wrong though, I rarely buy physical copies of PC games.

#16553

It is on sale as a physical copy hence my previous posts.
It’s 30 bucks and I’ll get some mindless fps fun so I might as well.

Neither do I but it’s half the price of the steam version.

#16554

I suppose I can’t refute it. I mean, the first thing that comes to mind is, it’s as a result of including Internet in the discussion. Perhaps if they left that bit out, not much would have changed. Haha…

As always I appreciate your methodical approach to conversation, Temet; however, I did try to steer my post away from one centering on persons and their ease of communicating as a whole. Essentially it was to inform a connection between accessibility of all manner of things and the resulting rise of paranoia-- er, “awareness” to things many either would never have known to exist or are uncomfortable with bringing to light. I can understand the desire to keep things in the closet, as we don’t talk about bathroom etiquette at the dinner table. It’s become explicitly clear discussing things relies so heavily on free will, and no longer closely hand-in-hand with naivety or unimportance. (You know I love metaphors!)

Your last bit: [quote=“TemetNosce, post:16552, topic:449”]

[/quote] is a radical observation… a very true off-hand consequence of the pull for more politically correctness in a world where an enabler is almost quite literally in every home. I feel very strongly the two ideas, of haphazard exposure and uncertainty, are linked. Okay! I admit I’m misconstruing the meaning of your statement a wee-bit… Let’s just roll with it, yes? I believe a level of politically correctness is polite, necessary even. It’s the fact it is driving communications between political leaders and the people they’re said to represent around in circles. Especially with transparency from an 18" barely immobile flat view screen, you can’t help but wonder why honest politician man can’t do the same.

Boy, do I love that! Don’t you wish that abrasive comment towards those blasted drying machines at the local laundromat was still enough? Now you have to have them on FB and FT and IG and MS, and know their favourite pants and why they use gel cream over a traditional shaving cream…

A point made in one context isn’t necessarily irrelevant in another, that said I admit I did move things around a bit. Regardless, I don’t really disagree with your narrower point here, albeit I’d probably phrase it in terms of defaults, much like the difference between opt in and opt out.

Oh come now Barry, how could I ever do such a thing? Why I’m a paragon of conversational precision, I vary not one centimeter from topic.

I don’t. I think the entire conversation on political correctness has split, so that each side is talking away from the other. To put it another way, the insults that offend people are rarely honest, and the honesty that renders conversation meaningful is rarely insulting. It may not be politically advantageous (such as Democrats being unwilling to say radical islamic terrorism), but that isn’t the same thing.

Anyone here have experience with Plex servers? I’m thinking of building one and wanted an opinion on the build.

Main thing I’m worried about is the CPU. I don’t think we will be doing a whole lot of transcoding to 2+ devices at the same time so I think it should be fine, but if anyone has experience with the servers I’d like to hear their opinion.

The CPU also has integrated graphics which should be fine for what I’m using it for. No need for a GPU.

No need for a monitor either since I’m mainly going to be using Teamviewer to interact with the server.

And one of my siblings can pick up a copy of Windows for me for $15 from the college bookstore so that shouldn’t be an issue either.

Here’s the list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Msn7mG

Plex media servers? I have one with an AMD Phenom x4 at like 2.2GHz, and it works very well. Although, it’s running as a FreeNAS machine, with the Plex plugin.

Well, my mother and her 13 friends just decided to buy about 140 lottery tickets collectively for the 8 Billion dollar reward.

There’s probably a better investment, but what do I know, right?

#16561

Well, it’s what they were trying to do (getting people to blow money like that), by making it even less likely to win, and thus generating higher payouts. Odds are now 1 to 292 something million from recollection. I can’t even come up with any meaningful references for other probabilities in that range. Neither apparently can the media, from a brief google, the closest set of odds I saw was the chance of being killed by an asteroid strike, which is still just 1 in 74 something million.
