    Growing up gaming: The five space sims that defined my youth

    You're right. That jumped out at me, too. Some things you just don't forget! (true pedants would point out that's a Rapier II, as it's an upgraded model from the Rapier you fly in WC1)

    Xbox Controller Question and a small rant.

    No, the rest of your quote was irrelevant to my point. You deliberately incited flames by juvenile trollbait shit like "some people are delusional over the 360 controller" as opposed to "I prefer the PS3 one, even though I know most of you here prefer the 360 one." See the difference? "I'm not...

    I had pretty good luck with Arsenal packs, but obviously YMMV. A lot. If you don't need more medigel or level 3 whatever, yeah, move on up to Arsenals or PSPs. I don't know if there's any statistical evidence which indicates either being "better" for UR gun farming but I went with Arsenals...

    Xbox Controller Question and a small rant.

    blatant lie #1....000. Seriously? You actually wrote that? And expected us to believe it? You're either delusional or this is the lowest rent trolling I've seen all week. over controllers. Really. of all the things to get e-rage over, you pick controllers. I don't even know, man. This one's on...

    You have stims. You don't need 6 fitness. http://narida.pytalhost.com/me3/classes ... rPackage2/ for example I wouldn't carry a Reegar, though.

    yeah the funny thing about the Reegar is it loses dps because of the firing rate bug (basically ludicrously high ROF weapons lose damage because it can't proc fast enough or something), they fixed the dual fire bug, it's irrelevant. Still the most overpowered thing in the game even though it's...

    Carnage isn't worth 6 points, IMO, but then I think Vorcha Sentinel is far and away superior to Soldier. I assume you're working on a 200 wave challenge, to which I can only say good luck! We're all counting on you. I found, with the soldier, it was best to alternate short bursts of flamer with...

    Can Video Games Mature in Today's Industry?

    That's you projecting, I'm afraid, smiley face or not. Also this article isn't a 35 page scientific thesis. It's a starting point. Judging it because PAR didn't go the whole hog on solving a social issue well outside the scope of a blog about video games is pretty ridiculous. Judge what does or...

    Can Video Games Mature in Today's Industry?

    because any industry that's 82/86% anything is worth noting. 82/86 are so completely out of bounds abnormal percentages compared to like, everything else ever. Why is that? Well, that's a good question. Only one way to find out. Also, consider: this entire field is staffed by an extremely...

    Short, repeated flamer stacks are the best way to go. If you're holding it down and get killed by a Phantom that was your fault for not applying a short stack and repositioning with the pretty-good Vorcha dodge. So theeeeeeeeeere. ;) also spec your bloodlust for survivability and become...

    When I did this I spent all my spacebux on 5k packs because you get character cards. Even when I was clearing golds. More level 1 consumables to throw on everything to speed things up, and 12500 or 62500 xp per card does add up when you're buying 16 packs after a gold game. It's not exactly...

    1: points are shared, let 'em waste the things. Hell I'm just amused to see people actually fire missiles, you know, ever 2: when you have as many consumables as I do, and my N7 is like 1/10th that, there's no reason not to use them every game just to get rid of them. my biggest regret in...

    The Suppressor also works against mid-tier enemies, not just mooks. You can drop Marauders faster than their bullshit guns can drop you, which is saying something. Death to Hunters and especially Pyros, etc. Pyros are a free xp farm for a Suppressor. I like it, but it's totally a "carry...

    It's not for headshots specifically, but doing more damage even if that extra damage is irrelevant to the target (i.e. both attacks would kill it). Yes you can actually get more points off the same enemy by hitting them Extra More To Death than if you just hit them to death. So headshots, which...

    Jug move speed is bad enough, making it worse is just cruel. That said, I soloed a bronze as a jug with a Spit to grind out the last 70k I needed. I suggest that route if you hate yourself. Put it on a Destroyer or Turian Soldier to get their weapon bonuses (and the TS prox mine debuff is key...

    ET the Extraterrestrial isn't such a bad game after all.

    No, that's my point, I'm not. The code is opaque to the user who hated it in 1982 and it's opaque to approximately everyone who put it in the "this game sucks" pile. Trying to argue the game isn't bad on an internal code level ("it's not buggy, it's just misunderstood!") is apples and oranges to...

    I'm not Josh, so I don't need ME4 to be the real ultimate canon story; I'd be fine with Garrus: C-Sec Space Cop, and then ME5 being Archangel: Space Cop ... Gone Rogue I mean that's the thing - Bioware could arguably take any one of the squad members and make a game out of them. Some would be...

    ET the Extraterrestrial isn't such a bad game after all.

    Whatever, I beat Battletoads eventually. Don't try and tell me I wasn't ready! Mostly, though, I do think this is a pretty cool thing for all the code hacking it does and if you just filter out the author's editorializing, nice read, Captain Riker! like the one about pit detection. "ET's...

    I'm pretty sure the internet would have blown up if it was genuinely confirmed by a dev, too. also given EA's position on multiplayer (DO IT) and microtransactions (LOVE EM) not expanding a multiplayer mode with a proven success of a microtransaction model seems too stupid even for them.
