The Dark Tower - The Motion Picture

in Movies Discussion on 09 May 2017

Zekkyou said: I read the whole series in succession a few months ago, but i'm finding it hard to muster up much excitement for the film. I'm normally fine powering through a long series, but TDK left me exhausted. I'll probably watch it at some point though, if only because it's technically a sequel to the books and i'm sure i'll eventually be interested in seeing how they approached...

The Dark Tower - The Motion Picture

in Movies Discussion on 04 May 2017

Being a massive Dark Tower series fan I am coming into this movie with Ultra-Low expectation. The story is just too complex and detailed to ever even have the smallest hope of being well done in movie format without turning it into a trilogy with 3+ hours on each movie, and this is at bare minimum. After seeing the trailers I am both very disappointed and impressed with the direction of the...

What Are Your Favorite 2017 Games So Far?

in Gaming Discussion on 25 April 2017

Though it was technically released in 2016, my favorite game so far this year is World of Final Fantasy. I have not had the time to aquire or play any 2017 released games yet....

Favorite OS for PC?

in PC Discussion on 20 April 2017

All these posts and comments and everyone is forgetting one of the best OS's that has ever been, Windows 2000 (64-bit)! It was the first consumer OS based off the NT file system and it was the first Consumer OS to support the x64 architecture. It made Windows 95,98,98SE, XP, and XP SP1 look like garbage in comparison. XP SP2 changed all that though. A lot of people forget how terrible XP was...

Favorite OS for PC?

in PC Discussion on 19 April 2017

You forgot to add Windows 8.1 as it is vastly different and superior to Windows 8. Also, Ubuntu is Linux. My answer is quite a bit more complex than just a favorite OS as it all depends on purpose. Favorite OS for home Server: Linux Mint (latest stable.) Favorites OS for games and productivity: Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 coming in a close second once the Start screen is removed.) Favorite Server...

WORST controllers you have used.

PS5 graphics to move closer to photorealism, says Mothergunship dev

in Sony Discussion on 12 April 2017

Technically the graphical jump from the Atari 2600 to the NES was getting closer to photorealism. Or if you'd rather go from same manufacturer, NES to SNES. This is a junk headline for a junk story and a bit of a waste of space in my not so humble opinion. The story is saying something that does not need to be said just because the author was pressed to print an article and had no other ideas....

How long do your gaming sessions last?

in Gaming Discussion on 05 April 2017

My usual gaming sessions last between 2-3 hours. However, I will do short bursts of 30 minutes playing CS:S while my wife is making dinner on some nights though. As for my longest gaming session, it would have to be around 40+ hours at a LAN party when I was younger. My most recent long gaming session was about 10 hours while playing through LUNAR 2 : Eternal Blue, a good JRPG can get me...

Do you vape?

in General Discussion on 05 April 2017

John2290 said: Raistline said: You don't inhale the smoke from cigars. You suck the smoke into your mouth and let the flavor of the cigar smoke roll around until you breath it out. Cigars cause oral cancer, not lung cancer. Ciggarettes are inhaled and cause lung and throat cancer, and sometimes oral cancer as well. Vaping has no known side effect other than addiction at this...

Quake Champions – Raw Gameplay Trailer

in Gaming Discussion on 04 April 2017

This is Q3 with upgraded graphics. The movement, weapons, strafe jumping, and announcer are all mostly the same. This is exactly what I have been wanting for a long time. I really hope to get into the Beta. I loved Q3; I was even in a Q3 instagib clan back in the day. The map is a carbon copy of Q3DM6... I am excited....

I havent played Tactics A2 though, same with VII Dirge of Cerberus and 4 heroes of light - didnt get the chance yet. Edited my list, guess that makes it 57 XD In my not so humble opinion, re-makes don't count....

I hope these upgrades will let me play 1080p at more than 60 fps for some time. thoughts? You have a very similar config to mine, you just have more...

The best underappreciated movie of all time.

in Movies Discussion on 29 March 2017

Volterra_90 said: Battle Royale. If I remember right, it wasn't a hit with reviewers. Though I see it as one of the best movies I've seen. Cabin in the Woods might fit that description too. Battle Royal was great, but being that it is a Japanese film with subtitles it is bound to not get acclaim or recognition. If we include foreign films one of the best ones I have seen is...

Rab said: The Road It is a post-apocalyptic tale of a journey of a father and his young son over a period of several months, across a landscape blasted by an unspecified cataclysm that has destroyed most of civilization and, in the intervening years, almost all life on Earth. The book is better, albeit more greusome. ...

The best underappreciated movie of all time.

in Movies Discussion on 24 March 2017

I submit to you two candidates. 1) Trainspotting. This movie is a "Cult Classic" but too many people do not know about it. 2) The Man From Earth. Just a very little known but excellent film. ...

Help Me Pick a Game to Rent!

Green098 said: Raistline said: You are from the US, you should be aware of RedBOX, right? DVD, Blu-Ray, and Game rental is still alive due to RedBox, and if you go to small town middle of nowhere you will still find video rental stores. I'm from the UK so that's probably why. I just use american terms and currency on this site as that's where most people here are...
