Grid 2 online is the biggest clusterfuck in racing game history.

Hey man, I dug up your old thread about Assassin's Creed because I've been playing II and it's really not clicking for me

I'm really trying to like it but it feels more like a chore than anything. Hopefully it will get better as I delve deeper into it.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know your thread lives on

Good to know! What made you remember it after all these years?

Also, you should know the thread was 60% honesty and 40% trolling. I honestly thought the most important elements in the game (platforming and combat) were crap. Of course, I used a bit of hyperbole in expressing my opinion.

I was wondering if anyone had experienced similar frustrations and I remembered your thread. I had posted in it back when I was just a new kid on the block.

I figured there was a bit of hyperbole ;-)

I don't know if you still care about Hitman after Absolution happened, but I remember you were hyped before the release, so there you go:

Sounds really promising imo.

Good to know. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

Am I mistaken in thinking that you were less active during the last few months? In any case, I'm glad to see you posting, sensible people are hard to come by these days.

Have you seen my recent thread about my opinion on the current state of the industry? If no, I'll try to give you a synopsis.

In the past, the majority of my serious, non-off-topic, non-joke posts were those in debates; and typically those posts were in defense of unfair criticism against Playstation, since I typically browsed Playstation forums and Playstation is my favorite brand.

However, with the PS4's massive success and the Wii U's lack thereof, there are far fewer attacks on the Playstation brand. Plus, a lot of the already annoying PS fans are using the PS4's success as ignition to become even more obnoxious than they were.

This leaves me with less and less opportunity (and motivation) defend PS against unfair attacks. I know it sounds weird, but that took up a fair portion of what I enjoyed to do here. I defend Nintendo/Microsoft every so often, but I don't have quite the same eagerness when it comes to them.

Plus the fact that I feel like I've lost my spark, in a way. Joke thread ideas used to pop in my head quite often in the past (even if they weren't funny). Now, I can't think up funny threads even if I try. If you've noticed, I've only made like six threads in the past six months, which is probably an all time low for me. I feel like an old geezer past my prime, with no real drive anymore.

I didn't catch that thread but it's true that things have changed quite a bit. I do wish people were more gracious winners around here but it seems winning is not enough, you have to shame the competition too.

For my part the current console generation console war holds close to no interest for me. I figure it'll be PS4>XBO>WiiU. I'll continue to enjoy my Wii U no matter how bad it's selling and I'll get a PS4 when it gets worthwhile games but I have no passion for the fight that tears this forum apart.

How did you choose what career to study? And why that?

in General Discussion 8 hours ago

I chose Computer Science as its probably one of the greatest undergraduate degrees you could get. The pay and job prospects are great, particularly for those fresh out of college. Finding a job should be relatively easy. But you can also use the degree in conjunction with interesting ideas to become an entrepreneur. Not too mention its really fun! The speed and power of computers combined with...
