The hard part about the Meat Circus was that you used to have to restart the entire thing if you game over'd, but the steam version only makes you restart the section you were on (I think?) so it's not as frustrating.
Doesn't make the level design better but it's a step in the right direction.ShowEver wanted a playlist full of a lot of music I really dig? Here you go.

Seen some reviews for Dragon Age: Inqusition lately that have me intrigued. I love a lot of what BioWare's put out over the years but I got stuck in what I think was the early-mid game of Origins and wasn't gripped enough to go back and get myself out of it so never finished, nor played DA:II. I do love being able to transfer save data through a series, though, so I guess my question is: How significant an impact does the save transfer make on the Inqusition experience? Are we talking characters alive/dead as in Mass Effect or just a few references here and there? Worth my time overall to make the effort for the whole series or just play Inquisition blind?#greenshirtthursdays-

Dragon Age is a lot less continuity dependent than Mass Effect, I feel. Mass Effect was a single narrative across a trilogy, while Dragon Age is unrelated stories in the same world. There's a lot of back story and such to be gained from importing saves, but nothing like "Garrus is dead in this playthrough". There's also the Dragon Age Keep, which allows you to build a save to import without playing the previous games (since DA:I is on a new engine that doesn't support importing directly from the older games).One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.-

In post 1588, theaceofspades wrote:I haven't actually noticed much team creating based on rank at all. Seems fairly random. Though it's possible i'm just not yet good at picking out stacks.
I reached the frustration part because I keep getting stuck in unbalanced against me games. Had a run of about an hour where everyone I matched was semi-pro or pro ranked. It does seem like its using an ELO type system where your team as a whole gain/loses points which get spread out by how you perform (had a -1 on a game where I ended up +2 in spread and all partners were -12 or worse). Wonder if how you play too (my "bad" games tend to be low kills low deaths instead of a large negative spread) that has me getting put at high opponents.
New maps are okay. Don't like Pegasus though, its too PR swingy. The circular maps are always my favorites just because its balanced enough.-

my ranking comment is based on several games in a row where it's me, and 3 people who have 0 games played in the list, against a bronze and 3 onyx. Idk where that comes fromAs the king of all cosmos remarked "is it really fun? or that it let's you forget yourself?"

The other problem I have is that assists are too easy to come by. You basically just need to look at someone funny to get an assist, to the point where most games have someone hit 10 assists and its not too out of place to see someone push close to 20.
I dunno, its fun but they need to balance for skill better at release-

I finished Shadowrun Returns last night. Starting Dragonfall soon, I've heard it's significantly better, looking forward to it.
Also trying to finish up The Talos Principle. That game is fantastic. Portal meets Stanley Parable is probably the best way I can describe it.jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont
jdodge1019: vermont is made of liberal freaks and cows
jdodge1019: he's not a liberal
jdodge1019: thus he is a cow-

Guild Wars 2 is on sale. Also they just announced an expansion.
Pie's current computer isn't good enough to play it but we are thinking about getting it anyway so we can play together once he upgrades. (Plus I'll be graduating soon and therefore ending my self-imposed ban from all things MMO.)-

I really liked Guild Wars 2, but I dropped out for a variety of reasons. I'd be happy to get back in, if we'll have an actual guild to do things with.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly.

So to save on HDMI slots on my TV... I now have a PS4 hooked up into an Xbox One that I can play it off of. Miraculously it didn't destroy the universe plugging these two into each other.-
