System Wars Lounge v54: The So Many Games Edition

That's an absolute beast. I was thinking about doing something similar to a Titan build next year (or whatever the newest GPU will be).

I'm ridiculously behind on CPU architecture. Something tells me you'd handle 4k decently with that system.

4K...

I want that new Sabertooth mobo though.

That's amazing lol. I can't even imagine playing at 4k.

That motherboard is a beast. The price will undoubtedly be insane. It packs some pretty neat features.

Tiny Tom Logon from Overclock3D said it was within heel snapping distance of the top dog Rampage, not bad for a board that costs about £100 less and comes with a 5 year warranty on top.

You know, now that I am looking back on my last generation games, the PS3 is really aging like fine wine.

Nah, graphics look shite.

Sad part is it's all going to be fogotten except Barry will always know what could have been, and have to live with the torment of that exotic flesh bouncing right in front of his eyes daily. ;)

Had mixed thoughts about The Flash when it first started, but it has quickly become one of my favourite shows. Probably second only to Banshee.

Season 2 can't come quick enough.

So Dr wells can't open a portal with his speed but Barry can? I thought he was faster than Barry? And why does he want to kill him?

I'm gonna have to rewatch to understand a few things. But one thing always remained the same during this series, Dr wells is the best villain on a superhero tv show.

Not sure on the logistics either as I haven't read any of the comics involving Reverse Flash. Maybe because he is the reverse of Barry, Barry can improve while he can only regress or not improve? Not sure either why he wants, or did want him dead, as it's clear now he needs him alive, at least until he gets what he needs from him.

The question also remains as to how he got back to this timeline but cannot return to his own, and why Barry returns to the time his mother was killed, which in return is probably what saves himself from being killed?

Holy shit I'm making my head hurt. I hope they have good explanations to these questions in season 2 and don't just leave it up to your own interpretation.

Cos I dunno what the **** is going on. 0_o

Not yet really. Hell Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots still looks good on PS3 even today's standards and it did push the PS3 to it's limits of you ask me.

@clyde46: you think so? Have you seen heavenly sword recently? Or the Uncharted games?

Heavenly sword, a game that came out in 07 still looks pretty good.

@davillain-: Hehe. That was my point, there are games that still look good by today's standards, and a lot of games still worth playing.

Man, YouTube videos don't do Ori justice. That game is gorgeous

Rumor kojima leaving KONAMI?

Yeah, can't wait until this is all cleared up.

I mean, I can understand Konami wanting to bring everything back under one banner. Up until Subsistence came out, that's how it was anyways.

But add to that Kojima no longer being listed as an executive and his last somewhat cryptic tweets? Yeah, I dunno.

In all honesty, I would like to see him get out from under Konami, that's the only way he'll truly get away from MGS. But damn it I hope they don't screw the pooch before MGSV is wrapped up lol. I'd hate to see MGSV suffer the same fate as Ninja Gaiden 2, an amazing game that didn't receive the final bit of polish.

Guess we'll know what's going on soon enough.

Holy shit that latest flash episode. Much hype.

@ConanTheStoner: just confirmed. Kojima is indeed leaving but after MGS V

http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1013581

Kojima really did mean it when he said V is his last MGS. And since its owned by konami they will make mgs without him after V.

Also looks like we won't be getting Silent Hills by kojima after all.

I'm pretty much done with konami. Kojima can finally make what he wants

They really should have treated him like a king and let him do whatever he wants, like how sony treats ND.

Konami just shot themselves in the foot.

Konami is pretty much done now

What if kojima makes his own studio? Fox games? Hmmm

Or even join PG

I'm breaking rule #2 but I'm sure nobody even cares about what I'm about to say but:

She's candidate for the position of governor of PR for the elections of 2016, Alexandra Lúgaro. All the other parties are so damn corrupt I might actually vote for her. I mean, she can't be worse than our current governor, a moron that can't even speak English and raised tax to 16%. Although some people do accuse her of being a fraud so I need to do more research about who I'm going to vote for. At the end, everyone here is a fraud in some way or the other, so it's all about voting for the least corrupt.

I miss good old puzzles from from videogames. But some of these puzzles was just ridiculous.

**** the rubber ducky puzzle from TLJ.

thinking about reinstalling guild wars 2. idk why but i feel like playing that again

I could just not find the time to keep up with/care about the 2 week content changes

Is it any good? I've been thinking about trying it.

i enjoyed it. then again, i no absolutely nothing about MMOs and have only ever played it alone.

I'm the same with MMOs... FFXIV is the only one i've played heavily.

My bro wants to try it, and now i've got a new comp, I figured i'd give it a shot.

it looks pretty.

That is important lol.

I know the feeling, but I lost my CD key so I'm like F it and went back to FF14 ARR.

if you've had it installed before, don't you just need your account login?

thats what i did. i bought the digital version though so idk.

Have no idea what my pw is since I haven't played it in like 2 years, trying to reset it is a pain in the ass cause they need the cd key.

I like GW2 but it's really poorly paced at least in comparison to FFXIV.

I got it recently brah, we can play it since I doubt the game is good looking enough to make your third world pc crash \o/

@jg4xchamp: dick

You know I'm down to play.

PVP is really good, it feels active, mobile, fast paced and there's good build diversity (at least for WvW) for each class that can completely change the feel of how your chosen class plays. It's the main reason I regularly come back to it.

PVE is a mixed bag. General exploring, running into events and Living Story updates are pretty enjoyable. Dungeons feel like there were there to fill in the MMO checkbox where alot of the dungeons wernt really thought out and were designed around WoW-like mechanics instead of GW2s own; most encounters can be blown up with little teamwork/synergy as long as you know how to dodge and move properly since you're fighting alot of static enemies. Though the dungeons are generally okay for one run for the surprise factor, since they're quite varied.

The best part about it is that there's very little investment/upkeep needed to enjoy the game and it allows me to play other things.

I think the ridiculous Observatory or the Multi-Door puzzle in FEZ should have been mentioned instead of that Black Monolith one. More people actually attempted the former ones compared to how obscure and missable the Black Monolith puzzle one was. You also needed New Game+ to have a chance to properly solve it.

Surprised there wasnt any obscure BS puzzles from the Myst franchise that got in there. I'd probably put Machinarium's reverse Multiple Choice puzzle somewhere in there or one of the two up-side-down twin platform Swapper puzzles that about everyone I talked to that played either of these puzzles got stuck.

-

Speaking of Puzzles, though. I started The Talos Principle. It's really great, it's pure logical puzzles that relies on pure puzzle design without needing the X-factor of a Portal Gun or Swapper Device to put a spin on lateral thinking.

Only beef so far is that Philosophy is boring.

@illmatic87: OMG I forgot about that swapper puzzle. I wasted 2 hours on that stupid puzzle then shamefully looked it up on youtube. :( And yeah that multidoor puzzle was way too hard. Even following a walkthrough didn't help me that much. I just got lucky at the end.

And GS seriously fix you site. Not getting any notifications again.

WHAT UP, BOXTROLLS! =P

Seriously?

New ep of Tokyo Ghoul was freaking great.

That ending. That voice acting. That fight. That music. I'm gonna start reading the manga soon and will be buying it too to support this mangaka.

Arima is so OP btw. And he looks like an older Kaneki. That owl reveal in the end though haha.

@TheGuardian03: Honestly knew who the bandage girl was (forgot her name). Didn't know who was the Owl though. Might have not pieced that together myself although I admittedly saw a wiki page on it so it was spoiled (the voice may have given it away though).

Overall I really do like the series. Better than first season imo where Kaneki was a sniveling girl the whole time.

lol

My new PC build went off without a hitch tonight. I love when parts don't come DOA.

@lundy86_4: PC building: Lego for adults :P

@Desmonic: It got stressful a few times, so it definitely sounds like Lego lol.

@lundy86_4: Plus the sky is your limit! :D

Well...that and your wallet, but you get the point :P

putting down that lever on the CPU always feels stressful

@lostrib: Oh God! So bad. Hoping the motherboard wasn't friend was also worrying.

@Desmonic: My wallet is hurting :(

@AznbkdX: i don't blame him for being a wimp. Imagine figuring out that vampire like creatures or zombie like flesh eating monsters exist. Add that to his suffering as a child , taking care of his mother which no child should go through, having no father figure + the torture by Jason. I would have lost my sanity. His hair turned white because of the continues torture and regenerating for 10 continues days. Kaneki has not had a day in his life where he could rest. Even when not fighting, he is fighting the hunger. The fact he even managed to put a smile during his work with antieku with the others shows how he cares about others feelings and puts others first like we have seen in the latest episodes too when he goes to antieku to try to save the others.

@lostrib: bro, help me building PC

could you give me your opinion on this?
