Fitz Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Posted May 2, 2016 Even though I already played up to NG+2 in Dark Souls, I've rolled a new character to have yet another go at it. Going with a light armor (<25% equip load) dex/pyro build for mobility and quick strikes, and using parry and backstab a lot more often. As opposed to my original run with mostly heavy armor, high vit, str/dex halberd build where I just turtled and poked the enemies from outside their optimal range. This is a lot of fun so far, though it requires staying more alert than with a tankier build.
Dreadhead Posted May 2, 2016 Report Posted May 2, 2016 Anyone up for some racing tonight? I am off work tomorrow so I can actually stay up for a bit extra. 10pm EST? 1
MexicanDragon Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 Nah. Actually at a baseball game with Xavier. Wanna go at 1130?
Dreadhead Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 Nah. Actually at a baseball game with Xavier. Wanna go at 1130? [emoji4] Nope. Tomorrow night?
Grahame Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 Why not Both? It may be marginally safer on track without Brent teleporting though everyone. That or I'll be forced to play SWBF with Colin ...
MexicanDragon Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 Heh. Woulda been here sooner, but our Uber driver almost got pulled over as she was picking us up, for running 2 red lights. We could've gotten another, but figured we should make Xavier's first Uber an experience. **BRENT**
Fitz Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Posted May 4, 2016 Took out both Brent and Grahame with the "Counter-Grahame" move on the last race tonight. 2
Fitz Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Posted May 4, 2016 I was fairly far ahead in that race but Brent said to come back and play, so I turned around and crashed into Brent head-on. Got DQed but so worth it. 3

TMoney Posted May 10, 2016 Report Posted May 10, 2016 Gonna be starting Uncharted 4 tonight. Super psyched. The Uncharted series are the Indiana Jones games we've always deserved. Can't wait to see how the 4th one came out.
MexicanDragon Posted May 28, 2016 Report Posted May 28, 2016 Haven't played since 10/24. Do they have a sniper yet? *"BRENT**
TMoney Posted May 28, 2016 Report Posted May 28, 2016 Hey, SWBF crew. Overwatch is the real deal. Add me on BNet if you get it and want to play. TMoney58 #1360
MexicanDragon Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 Xavier playing Project Cars with HTC Vive, G29, Openwheeler race cockpit on a custom right with i7-6700k with GTX 980ti. He had fun.. I have an Oculus Rift in the house for a week to compare (but sadly no Openwheeler.) I can't play tonight, but every other night this week, let's play. **BRENT** 2
Dreadhead Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 I wish I had a Vive. My rig would do just fine. How isolating was it?
MexicanDragon Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Wait for gen 2, but right now, Vive is definitely better. Isolating? Hmmm... fairly. I'm still an hour or two from Rift time, but looking forward to PCars, My time with the Vive wasn't great, b/c it was set up height wise for Xavier. **BRENT** 1
TMoney Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Uncharted 4 This is what AAA-gaming should be. The graphics and gameplay are fantastic, the story is great, and the game is a wonderful wrap up to one of the best series I've ever played. This game meets or exceeds the lofty expectations we all had for it in every sense. 5/5. If you enjoy story-driven action adventure games this is a must play. -- If I had to rank the games in the Uncharted series, this is what I'd have. 1) #2 - Best introductory level in the history of gaming? This is the game that really took the Uncharted story from ho-hum to something so easy to get invested in. The characters and character development is brilliant. 2) #3 - The set-piece moments here were as fun as anything I've ever played. That airplane sequence, that cruise boat sequence! 3) #4 - Being ranked 3rd is only because of how good #2 and #3 were. Just brilliant storytelling here. I didn't love the Henry Avery stuff as much as the main treasure quests in the other games, but again that is more a commentary on how good the other games were than a slight against #4. 4) #1 - It is technically dated and some sequences go on a bit too long. Still, the seeds are there, and there are some great moments like finding the U-Boat. The complete 180 degree gameplay switch at the end of the game was executed perfectly. -- Up next is the new Witcher 3 DLC and more Overwatch. Edited May 31, 2016 by TMoney
