  1. fired up the PS4... this controller feels great! The sticks are stiff like 360s and the triggers feel wonderful.

      So you wouldn't recommend stacking a PS3 on top of it?

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      As long as the PS3 isn't on at the same time, it should be fine. I cant find the video now, but Kotaku had a short that had every PS generation and model stocked on top of the PS4.

      hmm interesting. I didn't know Funi had online dub streaming... I might actually be interested in that because all I have used netflix for the past year is Anime. lol

      Yep.. after they saw how well crunchy roll was doing, they decided to do it themselves. They keep the episodes farther back than what they have on DVD release though to keep people buying them. There is a crap load of anime on funimation's streaming from what I saw. They even have One Piece seasons 1-5 on there.. and then it abruptly jumps to season 16 which are the current episodes they are simulcasting in subs as they air in japan. My guess is they are slowly releasing the OP and FT eps...

      ... on streaming for those dvd sales.

  3. Lets take a moment of appreciation for how utterly bad ass Maki's fight was on this weeks Fire Force. Same dude Arthur struggled with. That rig Vulcan set her up with is wicked. I'm really not ready for season 1 to end. Same with Dr. Stone. Both totally different series with outstanding world building. Its gonna feel a bit empty when they're done. MHA will probably start picking up steam soon though. Stars Align has been a nice surprise, and Azur Lane is totally my guilty pleasure this season. XD XD *ahem* But I digress.

      When I logged in this morning my first thought when I got Belfast was "DX is going to lose his shit". Seems I was right XD

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I did. XD I already stripped a few other ships of their better gear, and making her hit the books while I commission her up to par. XD I got Noshiro today off my daily builds so I have everything from the event. I was saving my currency in case she didnt drop on the last day but now I was able to buy the last SR catmander and fill my oil reserves after being stuck in the 900-1000s the last few days. I'll buy everything else before its over with.

      All I can say is goddamn, Belfast is a monster. Despite changing only a few things around in my 2 main fleets she already in the 90s in rank, passing everyone except Enty and Portland. Shes MVP every single time. Which btw Portland Retrofit... wtf? Shes about to pass Enty hogging all the MVP glory in Fleet 1.  Fleet 1 is Eagle Union and Fleet 2 is Royal. Illustrious is clutch with the shielding as if Bel's smoke screen wasn't powerful enough. I'm missing a lot of Sakura and Iron Blood still as far as elites and SRs go. I got Atago but no Takao... which I'm tempted to buy that super adorable skin for her they just put up. I just need 1 more star for Z23 and Laffey to get Ayanami. The SR Bulin thing is killing me right now. I just spent medals to get one, I guess I need to clear more stages but its getting to the point where I'm not powering through as easily. I made it to 8-1 yesterday, but I'm spending my oil on dailies and Hard missions this week since 3X Core started today. Plus I run 3-4 a couple times a day hoping that Kaga or Akagi will drop eventually. I need to Max Yuki and probably Atago since the challenges have been the same so far for their individual missions. 

      Also, those weekly maintenance and random user benchmark rewards are pretty clutch. I guess its just my luck. I needed oil badly last week and they topped me off. And then the skill books from the user count was something I needed reaaal bad because I was about to run out. I'll pretty much feed them that $7.99 every 30 days for that trade package too so long as they keep my interest. I'm a t3 carrier part and a bulin away from Saratoga's retrofit (uuugh I want her Pop Idol skin!!) and I'll probably work on Hammann and Warspite or Sandy next.

      I dunno if its my lack of ship diversity right now, but damn they can be real douches on Hard mode. Like the fleet requirements deny all my synergy. They make sure to keep Indy and Portland apart. Poor Atago had to take a beating for 6-3 because she was locked in at level 80 until I could limit break her again, and her gear isn't really the best right now. XD

      My guess is that it'll be emblems. I hope there are some cool Ghost casings and ship skins tho. I saw some other sites listing the codes and they've been posted on bungie's forums by some users so whatever it is won't seen as exclusive now.

      It'll still be kinda rare. They were given out near the beginning with little to no real gameplay footage. I would say maybe a few thousand out of the millions will have it, and thats split between 4 consoles.

      Geez... the Sand Demon was unnecessarily difficult. I was 4 levels above it and it still killed me 3 times. Borderline heroic boss. I had to take out its 2 minions, die, medical probe revive, rebuild my fury/rage on generic enemies around the cave, activate every single buffer I had, and I still had to use a med pack half way through.

      Yea that was not a fun fight, I hated doing it on my Juggernaut (even in heavy armor it still hits like a truck and Quinn couldn't keep up on the heals). Had to pop every single one of my cooldowns to drop the thing.

      Gajeel and his cat. lol. XD

      If you think about it.. Mystogun just like the Edolas Fairy Tail guild and all those other people of Edolas had no actual magical abilities. It was all magical items. Mystogun became an S-Class wizard because of his own physical abilities and proficiency in magical weapons. Those Edolas people were strong as hell.. Edolas Erza fought on even ground with Earthland Erza, and Edolas Erza had no magic. O_O

      7. Can I play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered without buying Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare?
      No, you must own Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in order to get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered.

      12. Will Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered have dedicated servers?
      Yes, it will.

      It wont be sold separately. :\ I'll wait and see if they eventually release it standalone.

      Dedicated servers in a CoD game!? wow. O_O

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Thats a faux statement. Its a hyrbrid in which you never really know if you are on P2P or Dedicated servers. Blops 3 uses it and it still has similar issues. COD4's netcode was good enough that P2P was never noticeable outside of cheaters. I have a feeling the 10 missing maps will be tied to the season pass. They're desperate for sales since Ghosts was received so negatively. Honestly I'm surprised they are taking the gamble. When everyone realizes how shit IW is, they'll all go to MW1... but then when the younger crown gets rekt by those skilled at non gimmicky gunplay, they'll stop playing it. A few insta downs from the M16 or MP5 and they'll be going back to blops 3.

      They'll sell it eventually. It may be a year after the game comes out just to milk some sales, but they'll do it. It will probably be a GOTY edition with all related stuff that was tied into the season pass.

    4. Sledgstone

      Hybrid setup. ehhh. Activision needs to go full dedicated. If they release it at a decent price as a standalone I'll buy it for the campaign, but if they're going to release this only as a combo I'll never buy it. It makes me wonder how much work they had to put into the remaster to have it combo'd with a new full CoD game at a $79 price point. I remember that one article where the majority of CoD's game engine has never changed since modern warfare. Its like the entire series is setup like a factory assembly line. They probably just had to load the original Modern Warfare files into their workstations and it was all ready to go except for adding new textures to make it 'remastered'. Of course I have no idea if I'm even close to being right about this assumption since I have no experience with programing. lol.

      That's one of the biggest issues I had with buffing this game. My older brother has owned it for years and I didn't want it to be a game that when we play it together, it wouldn't be that fun because it would feel like he was helping me as opposed to actually enjoying the game together.

  15. The internet is about to get lit son. I highly suggest downloading and redownloading games and other media you can use if there is no internet.

I know Netflix decreased the streaming quality in Europe already anticipating this. I almost had a cow earlier when I won a PvP and it started loading a long time before registering my victory.

      I think its been a year since I last played Destiny and even though I told myself I'd watch the raids on youtube because I know I'd never play them, but I never did. And I have no interest in watching them even now. I highly doubt I'll ever buy a Destiny 2. The newest raid with the bulldozer thing does look pretty cool, but only cool enough to watch a couple clips of it and move on to the next thing. I don't mind grinding in a game to an extent as long as I'm not bored. If I'm grinding a MMO like guild wars 2, I have the game muted and I'm watching TV while gathering items for gold. But grinding in a FPS game like Destiny is never going to happen for me again. It takes up all my attention because of the nature of the encounters and gameplay. I did it initially because I thought it was a one time grind, get my gear maxed out and I'd be set to enjoy the game with new content releases. Nope. Every dlc/expansion meant all my grinding was pointless. I'm never doing that again. Thats way too much of a time sink for me.

      The RNG and raid exclusive weapons were also the worst I've ever seen in any game. I don't mind seeing exclusive looking weapon skins from doing raid content but when people get rewarded with exclusive weapons with noticeable advantages it leaves me feeling salty. I still remember getting torn up by a vex mythoclast in those early year 1 iron banners, same with the original gally. Aside from that first week gally was in the xur shop, we never saw it again for a year. Only the early access people got enough coin saved up fast enough to buy it that week. In hindsight I think it might have been done completely intentionally so all their early alpha testers and youtubers that were promoting the game would get it guaranteed because they knew the value of it and had enough time to get the coins needed.

      The plan, from what I’ve heard, is for Destiny 2's planet areas to feel more populated with towns, outposts, and quests that are more interesting than the patrol missions you can get in Destiny.

      http://kotaku.com/sources-destiny-2-coming-to-pc-aims-to-feel-like-a-to-1787153460

      Honestly, this is what I expected from the first game. And to succeed on PC, their going to have to make a completely different game. It damn well better be a Diablo 2 style improvement over Diablo. If the Anet talent picked up early last year still has his creative pull, maybe it will be a better solo experience. Renown Hearts coming to Destiny!XD

    4. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      lmao. Their own version of Renown Hearts might actually happen. XD

      Towns, outposts, quests, (ambient life), NPC quests.. all that should have been in Destiny 1. If Destiny 2 is really going to be a 'totally different game' then I'll definitely wait on playing it (if I do at all), until the first 2 or 3 expansions come out a year after the game is released and is no longer in beta quality. Even then there will be other games in my backlog at that point like Fallout 4 or some other RPG FPS games.

  18. I've owned 3 cars now. My first car was a 1993 Nissan Maxima. It had 110k miles on it and it served me well until 215k miles. An alternator and a break hose were the only major repairs I've ever had to have done on it. Then I got a 2004 Mazda3 which also served me well from 11k miles to 80k miles, a fuel purge sensor was the only major repair I ever had to do on it. I'd still have it if some kid didn't pull out in front of my and total it. With the insurance check I should have just put a nice down payment on a brand new car... but at the time I didn't want a car note so I got the only thing I could find... a 2004 Ford Mustang. It had less miles than my Mazda so I figured it was like I just had this car all along since it was the same year. Wrong, its been the biggest POS I've ever owned. I've had to have the power steering pump replaced twice, major exhaust work twice, serpentine belt, entire ABS system, read axle, front calipers, CV joint, motor fan, and the transmission that was put in to replace the already busted on they tried to sell the car with, is about to go out again... to top it all off the paint just started crumbling off the car and now its rusting. I bought it with 65k miles and now it has 116k miles. Now that my college loan is almost finally paid off, I'm looking to get a brand new Honda Civic or VW Golf. The Civic is a car I've always wanted since wanting a car, but the Golf is very nice and has more horsepower. I'll never buy another ford car again. I remember when my exhaust system basically fell off the car because the manifold cracked... the muffler shop I went to basically said "Yeah this is pretty common at 90k miles for this car" which I was pretty much at... wtf. Screw Ford. I've never had so many catastrophic failures with a vehicle.

      Thanks. Eh I'm not sold on the rear cam. The only time I'd ever really use it is for having to parallel park, which is an absolute rarity. Or backing into a parking space. It does have a nice feature that you can make it look directly down so you can line up the prefect parking job.  Its susceptible to the weather though. One thing that the VW had was that its camera was build into the back logo that acted as the latch to open the back. It popped out when activated so it never got wet. It rained today and while it didn't really affect it this time, I did see a giant water droplet in the top corner. XD 

      I'm really loving the CVT transmission. There are a lot of hilly roads where i live and the CVT doesn't miss a beat when driving up them. I never feel the weight of the car slowing down the vehicle. I don't have to press further down on the gas to keep speed which I find very interesting. I just see the RPM meter go up and the car keeps going the same speed.

      The biggest adjustment I have to make is the lights. I have it on auto so the appropriate lighting activates depending on the time of day or weather conditions. When I get to my destination I'm always anxious when I lock the doors and walk away when the lights are still on. They shut off about a minute after. I do like how the doors lock after 30 seconds of the engine being off and the key isn't in the ignition or when I put it in drive and start moving. I've been behind the curve on car technology for so long it's definitely taking some adjustment. Its not really the advancement in technology, its the fact that all of this stuff that you could only get on a $60k luxury car 10 years ago now comes standard on a base model compact sedan. My Maxima, Mazda 3, and Mustang were well equipped trims, and besides the sound system, they don't come close to all the bells and whistles this civic has.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      That cvt transmission sounds very nice. I've never driven a car up a hill like that without having to push more on the pedal. Can you turn the lights off if you wanted to if they auto turn on? The one thing I thought was really odd was losing that functionality with my corolla. At night the lights auto turn on but if I go to pick someone up at work I try to park away from a window because i can't turn the headlights off at night. My car was really basic low end when i got it in 2010, but nowadays the tech is crazy. Built in gps, satellite radio, apps, back up camera, bluetooth for phones, voice recognition, turn nobs for gear shifting, etc. My father in laws new truck has the oddest key. Its literally the fob itself that you insert into the ignition and it locks in place like a magnet. I've seen other cars with smart keys that only need to be in the car and you push a start button. But that uses rfid tech that I don't have any real faith in security tho. 

    4. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I'm not sure. I mean I can adjust the settings manually. I can turn the head lights off for sure, but I'll have to check on the LED day lights. I think those might stay on regardless.
       
      The CVT is really nice. I've read the technology had a rough start, at least for some american car makers. Honda's is one of the best. I've read its cheaper to maintain in case something goes wrong because its belts and pulleys rather than a giant tube of gears you have to completely disassemble just to see what's wrong.

      hahaha. Try switching it over to japanese and you'll hear how drastically different their voices are. XD Sometimes I like to switch the audio back and forth just to hear the vocal pitch differences. Sometimes a high or low pitched voice fits certain character types, but a lot of english VAs seem to only have those larger pitch changes when a character is a huge guy or if someone is a weaker character.

      Lupin! Yes!!, I forgot about the "Freakin' Panz" one ROTFL!!! But The one I really wanted was my ULTRAVENUS ;) Thanks! I ripped that bad ass Minako image from deviantart years ago, and now its gone... I wish I had the template. It's probably on my old ass comp that doesnt work. A lot of my .pdf files from my banners are still on the comp.

      You're welcome. I have all the .psd files for my old sigs on an ancient computer I turn on twice a year. XD

  21. I just found out Overwatch competitive rewards are based on your season high and not current standing. I would have been more aggressive if I would have known. -_-;

      Not only that, but it will give people that prefer that format something to hone their skills in between seasons. Plus competitive matches are longer so you gain more XP overall, even if its a double blow out. As fun as it is to crush the other team quickly in QP, you generally get a laughable PoTG, and little XP. XD

      That would be amazing but I doubt it'll happen. QP competitive mode would be the equivilant of solo queue for GW2 ranked. They'll never implement it because it would make the queues alot longer for the regular ranked mode. Even with Overwatch's massive user base a QP competitive mode would suck away a good chunk of users out of the matchmaking for regular competitive. As soon as the game starts to get a 3-5 minute queue for a competitive match people will assume the game is dying and move onto another game or go for QP only.

      Nah, it wouldn't change anything. COD has multiple game modes and they've never had any issues. Overwatch has a COD sized player base right now as well. I remember one of the CODs had 2 different TDMs and it didn't effect either one. GW2 suffers because of its casual nature. Overwatch is built around PVP.

  22. With the summer simuldub season coming to a close, it played out like I predicted more or less. I'll wait a bit longer before I post my review. Pretty lackluster overall. But for me, the Fall Lineup is pretty stacked. Fairy Tail, SAO Season 3, and Black Clover continues which has become a lot more promising after this last arc I just watched... by far its strongest and most compelling. I watched the first episode of Double Decker! Doug & Kirill which was entertaining, and SSSS.GRIDMAN seems to be a Pacific Rim clone. Overall a return to more action adventure series, and lighter on the fan service heavy series.

      The movie is already on sale (https://www.rightstufanime.com/Sword-Art-Online-the-Movie-Ordinal-Scale-Blu-ray). Aniplex still retains the rights to sell all DVD/BD and other merchandise, Funi just got the english stream rights when Sony acquired the company.

      The only thing that sucks about Aniplex is they're extremely overpriced for anything you want to buy (fuck the BD's for SAO are still $60 a pop) through them, it's the reason I haven't bought Kill la Kill yet (I paid out my ass for the Gurren Lagann BD boxset, well worth it since it's GL but damn was it expensive (for comparison I just ordered a new mouse and keyboard for $198, $10 more then I paid for GL)).

      This is why I stream. I don't miss the old days of swapping out discs every few eps. XD I still buy movies, but screw buying series anymore. I remember buying Fullmetal Alchemist for $100 from Moviestop the days when internet retail was in its infancy. I still remember the 20ft shelf at Suncoast Video that held the entire DBZ series on VHS. XD I haven't bought a series in over 16-17 years, but I remember thinking what a load of crap that 4 eps a disc was. Especially after a friend bought me a bootleg rip of Samurai Champloo from Half.com and it was all on a single DVD. Man those were the days when half.com was not regulated and you could get all kinds of burned DVDs for a fraction of the cost. XD DVD RW was a new technology, and anyone that could afford to upgrade was making a serious profit for minimal effort. The only series I'd consider buying is Violet Evergarden if it ever gets a US physical release. Every now and then I feel like dropping netflix, one day I might.

      God I'd buy Violet Evergarden in a heartbeat if it got a stateside release (I've actually considered importing it but sadly the Japanese don't include English subtitles in their releases and while I understand enough Japanese to get buy it'd be a hard sell for me). Sadly it's very rare for an anime that Netflix has the rights to to get a stateside release (I'd hate to think how much a company would have to pay to get the physical distribution rights because I'm sure Netflix would put up a fight).

      Honestly swapping out discs has never annoyed me. Then again I've been doing it for over 20 years that it's just second nature now. I also like supporting the industry where I can, be it paying to stream content or buying the physical release. I do find myself streaming more than I used to, to the point that I rarely download fansubs anymore (only for shows that CR doesn't get the stream rights/simulcasts for) but nothing ever beats the satisfaction of owning the shows for me, knowing that I can watch them anytime I wish without the worry of CR losing the rights to stream them (hell half of my collection isn't even available to stream). I don't just buy anything though, I only buy shows I've seen and have an attachment to (like Aria, Gurren Lagann, Gundam, etc). It's not like 16 years ago where I bought anything I could get my hands on (a lot of my collection is shows I bought on impulse like Generator Gawl and Martian Successor Nadesico (two shows I'd never heard of and two shows I actually really enjoyed)). Plus I don't spend money on much anymore. I buy maybe 2 games a year now, rarely buy movies, with my Spotify subscription I rarely buy CD's anymore, rarely buy books anymore (which I hate, reading is my favorite past time but I just don't have time to do it anymore), and I rarely eat our/go to movies/or go out drinking. True, I should probably reign my anime spending in a little (I average $500 a year and that's low balling it) but meh.

      Well that and I actually re-watch anime all the time. There isn't an anime that I own that I haven't re-watched at least twice (or, in the case of Aria, once a year since I first watched it (so roughly 10 times)). Yea, I really need to get out more x_X

  23. Finished Season 1 of Blood+ I like it, but Funi dropped the ball with David... his voice is the most uninspired performance I've ever heard... I guess it kinda matches his monotonous character... it just seems out of place.

      Not really a spoiler but it wouldn't work, Saya is different in every series (as in what she is). Still would of been nice if they tied in together.

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Wow. I will say its pretty F'ed up how they saved Riku just for Diva to do that... sheesh, I was waiting for him to snap and become badass. lol

      Yea it was kind of a kick in the nuts, was totally not expecting that to happen. He had so much potential, could of been the next Haji.

  24. Cracking out on GW2 Festival of Four Winds event. Funny how populated these servers are compared to all the failing subscription based MMOs.

      I recruited a norn to join my order, but I haven't interacted with any outside of that. I find the Charr to be pretty interesting.

      The Charr have to be my favorite. They remind me of Kligons. :D

      I did a job where I shot down a chopper with an RPG on my first try.... of course the PS4 share didn't work right. -_-;
