Games / Anti-Fez Thread - I feel like I need to beg you all not to buy this.

« on: April 23, 2013, 09:58:44 AM »

Please please please do NOT purchase this game.

Don't pirate it.

Don't do anything.

Boycott this game.

The developer Phil Fish is the biggest starfish in gaming, he's already made buckets of money off of this boring, easy, gimicky game, please don't give him more.


I ask you also not to pirate it because it will feed his ego. "50,000 people pirated my game, awesome, people wanted to play MY game that much."
Talking about it is even giving it too much attention, but if this thread will convince even one of you to not purchase this it will have done enough.

Reason why I'm making this thread right now is because it's on Steam's store page.



Phil Fish has said "Japanese Games ‘Just Suck’" which is extremely hypocritical, mainly because his game (Fez) is strongly influenced by the game Cave Story, which I'm sure that you know is a Japanese game.
Source (excuse me for using Kotaku, which is almost as bad.): http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/03/japanese-games-just-suck-target-has-a-message-for-phil-fish-thank-you/
He also said "Fez is a console game, PCs are for spreadsheets" and somehow now it's on PC, greed and hypocrisy.





Just please do not feed him at all, please.

Games / Warframe Megathread - UPDATE 9 IS OUT MOFOS

« on: April 16, 2013, 07:19:25 AM »

Clickable picture!


Useful links!
Official Alert Twitter
Warframe Wiki
/vg/ Steam Group
(we have an ingame clan too)

Warframe is a F2P co-op third person action game currently in open alpha/beta (this is unsure, lots of things say beta but the devs keep saying Alpha)
Think Mass Effect 3 multiplayer meets Dark Sector
(This game is based off of the original concept of Dark Sector, but Dark Sector was changed a lot between announcement and it's delivery, this is the purest form of their original game idea)

Story
Currently the story is extremely ambiguous but this is what we "know"

They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more.

The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you.

Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers.

Come Tenno, you must join the war.

There's lots of debate about whether the Tenno are evil or not, we are unsure, but they seem pretty bad. Some alert missions have you kill scientists that have cures to Infestation, or can "advance the human race"


What are Warframes?

Warframes are the name of the exoskeletons used in the Warframe universe.
They protect the wearer with regenerating shields while allowing him or her to use special abilities such as faster movement speed,
higher jumping heights or control over elemental forces

Ash is your "Assassin" archetype, he is getting a rework right now, so I wont post much on him.

Banshee is a sound based Warframe that synergizes very well with a sniper type weapon.

Ember is the anti light-armor Warframe, she uses fire abilities to burn her enemies. Very strong vs infested.

Excalibur is your basic Warframe with basic abilities to get you into the game, he's very strong and he is one of the three options for a starting frame

Excalibur Prime is Excalibur but with one more V slot, only unlockable by being a founder, no significant benefits.

Frost is a slow heavily armored Warframe who plays slightly more aggressively than its tank brother Rhino. (My favorite!)

Loki is a manipulator rather than a frontline fighter, though that is not to say that he is purely a support. He is one of the three starter warframes.

Mag is appropriately named for her ability to completely control the surrounding magnetic energy. She is now (Update 7) a starter frame, replacing Volt.

Nova uses electromagnetic energy to contain and control highly voltile anti-matter that fuels her abilities

Nyx is a frame that uses chaos in her specials, she can  enemies and cause them to attack eachother.

Rhino is the heaviest of all the frames. His strength enables him to combine a mix of devastating offensive attacks with formidable defensive powers.

Saryn is a poison-based Warframe released in Update 7.

Trinity is great for players who prefer a supportive role. Warframes with healing technology are rare making Trinity a great equalizer.

Vauban The highly tactical VAUBAN uses his powers to create deadly traps that can zap, imprison and dimensionally crush enemies.

Volt is a high damage Warframe. Recommended for players who want a more offensive ability based class.

Games / What's the deal with everyone asking for "indie game suggestions"?

« on: April 03, 2013, 03:55:34 PM »

Why do they have to be indie games?

Why are requests usually super specific.
Ex: "Can anyone suggest me a platformer MMO indie game that's been released in 2013??"

WTFFFFF


EDIT: I put this in games because it's about the games board.

Off Topic / Spinning Poi

« on: January 23, 2013, 10:59:20 PM »

In the Māori language, poi can mean the physical objects used by the dancers, the choreography itself, or the accompanying music.[1] In Maori culture, poi performance is usually practiced by women. Some legends indicate that it was first used by men to develop wrist flexibility for the use of hand weapons such as the club-like patu, mere, and kotiate,[2] but recent academic study has found no evidence to confirm this story.[3]
Māori poi come in two forms: short, with strings equal to the length of the fingertips to the wrist; and long, with strings equal to the distance from fingertips to shoulder.[4][5] A performance includes storytelling and singing in conjunction with choreographed poi routines and is often presented alongside other disciplines, such as waiata a ringa, haka and titi torea (included in kapa haka performances). Poi feature in the 1980s hit song "Poi E".[6

I just made some really stuffty poi because the Poi I want to buy is sold out until mid February. ;c

But yeah, discuss Poi, Glowstringing, and things that are similar.

I'm not sure what's going on, I called my provider's tech support and they said the modem has been on for 17 hours (since I last unplugged it) the guy told me to change the default channel on my router and I did.


I'm flustered about this.

pretty much every time WoW is on and Skype is on it drops within 3 minutes.




How do I fix this :c

I was taking my shower and whatever when suddenly everything started going dark and I was feeling that feeling you get when you stand up too fast.

Then a moment later I was on the floor of the shower and my head was throbbing.

I used to be anemic, should I start taking my Iron Supplements again? ;~;
