Re: X Degrees of Separation

They play games so much they have lots of money (that they should've spent on food, drink or... soap). Then they meet me in a match and somehow decide to send me 'gifts' to encourage me to join them in more matches.

Oh well, it's all to the good... it's how I got into FFXI in the first place ^-^

X Degrees of Separation

Someone gifted me with 'God Mode'. The dev is Saber Interactive... which worked on Halo and that's how I learnt Halo 4 is out... when I went to wiki Saber Interactive. Can you imagine that? None of my techs said anything (there's only one Xbox in the dept anyway), none of my friends (some of which a...

Re: A rabid taru has escaped!

You can message players on other servers... or at least I still can.

But come over to Sargatanas anyway, it's harder for me to pull tails when they are located on different worlds.

Re: The big M backs down!

That's the problem isn't it? Those AAA games are expensive to produce and that makes the publishers do anything and everything they can get away with. So I do support stuff like Steam.

Re: Yet another reason to not buy the Xbox One

The last console I bought (or rather, had someone else buy) was the Famicom / NES 64. The fact that I somehow tend to end up in situations where all consoles are somehow available for my use is besides the point. ----- Regardless, it's going to be the games that decide this anyway.

Re: Xbox One and used games

You buy a new console to play new games. So the lack of backwards-compatibility is probably not that big a deal. If I want to play an Xbox360 game after buying the One... I'll buy an Xbox360... no doubt that will put even more $ in M$. Like how the PS3 ditched PS2 compatibility. Yes, it was cost... ...

Re: 2013 Spring Anime Lineup

IRL, Dog > Cat. A dog is usually larger. So if you use one as a pillow, you won't make the nocturnal mistake of muzzling the 'wrong' end (plus the wrong end of a dog comes with a built in olfactory alarm). You can hug one part of the dog and still have something to put your cheek against. Plus the t...

Re: 2013 Spring Anime Lineup

You only need to sleep for four hours a day, if you sleep while hugging a kitteh (bonus minutes if the kitteh is extra furry). I use a dog and only sleep 3 hours or so a day (the other 4 hours worth of cat-naps do NOT count).

Re: 2013 Spring Anime Lineup

The early parts will be very predictable. All the usual cliche plots and characters. I'm not sure how much of the manga they will use in the animation but as scheduled, the anime will end around midway of the manga. So a lot of the darkest parts are left out. It's actually kinda odd that they chose ...

Dungeon Defenders is. Even if you just play through it solo, it's worth the money. It's kinda of a mix of Diablo meets Tower Defence meets FPS. STO?
