Re: The Walking Dead (PC)

Season 2, Episode 1 is now available. Just played through it (~2 hours) and it was as good, if not better than the first season in terms of direction, game play, graphics and story. So, at the very least, it is as good as the first season. The story carries over from (your choice) of locally saved g...

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Trailer

http://youtu.be/h_9-3Fj3ZdI

I really enjoyed the first film a few years back. This looks like a bit of time has passed and the primates are asserting dominance over the diminished human population. (I'll not spoil how the human population reduction happened.)

Good stuff!

Re: The Official PS4 thread!

I've got an idea. Although you have unlimited disposable income, do not buy the ps4. Obviously you hate it a ton. Next, go ahead and splurge yourself a vacation in Thailand where you can fuck yourself a 12 year old. After all, you do what you want, yes? They may even wear anime-ears for you. Yay you!

Re: Rocksmith 2014

No shit! Most of us can develop really decent relative pitch, but having a tuner is fairly nice... another addition I would love is a tablature overlay of sorts.

Really though, what a fabulous "game"!

Yes I hope they patch that ASAP! Is there an option to turn off mandatory tuning? I may just have not seen a skip option Hehe. My guess is it got messed up when they introduced non-standard tunings to have more song variety.

Still a bit tough to decipher the flying-notes-in-your-face presentation, but coupled with traditional tablature (on a tablet, for instance) for reference, it makes a bit more sense. Also, it seems their tuner is a bit dicey? May just be me and my less-than-perfect-pitch, but switching between songs...

The latest episode shows much script-tightening and gives most of the characters something meaningful to do. Best of the bunch so far (few there are to measure against)! My only complaint so far is that awful CGI when they show the "Bus" against a sky background. Truly awful art direction/...
