I don't get the people who just post nonstop about games that they hate. Like I'm not a huge fan of Dark Souls but I don't poo poo up the thread.

I really liked Dark Souls but I can totally 100% see why people don't like it. It's like the Hitler Youth of games. When you've gone through the trouble of being indoctrinated you can't live without it.

Yeah man I have played all the Darksouls and Demon souls and always just got frustrated and quit. For a few weeks there I was burying my head in the sand though and blasted through DS3 a few times and now bloodborne when I decide I can't take reality anymore.

Once it clicks it loving clicks hard

but I totally understand not liking them either because whatever man everyone has their thing

Is this gonna be on the PC? Each time I look at a PS4, I'll check what games catch my eye and more often than not there is a PC release coming.

Also for you Elite Dangerous types, how long would it take to get in on the Engineers business and start hotrodding my federal assault ship? I just wanna go faster and shoot better in a haz res, and have a longer jump range so I can go cash in alliance bounties a bit quicker.

A. You talking about the specific Elite Thrustmaster HOTAS setup or the individual stick? The hall sensors are nice and would be significantly more durable giving it much longer life span on the T16000M sticks. The HOTAS-X is much cheaper so if you're not willing to go down the rabbit hole when it comes to flight sim peripherals I'd get that, you will have to replace it if you go real deep down the flight sim hole.


B. Saitek's quality control has been loving trash for a couple years now. I personally went through 2 separate X-55 RMA's before I got one that worked out of the box properly. The first one the grommet on the base of the stick was too small so the stick couldn't center, and on the second the throttle was improperly grounded so any time I brushed my arm against the metal toggle switches I'd get a low level electric shock. My 3rd stick I sold to another goon who apparently had to pop it open and rewire half the stick because the wires are like an inch too short so they stretch and break with even minimal use.

RE4 is really weird in that the best version is actually on the Wii due to the controls. Something about shaking a remote and hearing the clicks of a reload just made all the difference, outside of the better aim with the remote.

Beat it twice on the Gamecube and twice more on the Wii. Good game, hilarious characters that you'll be quoting for some time.

I've always really liked RE games, but I missed out on 3-4 and most of the spin off entries. I like the series for a lot of the reasons I like the MGS games, just the sheer campiness off it all. In RE5 when Chris had to literally PUNCH a boulder out of his way during a boss fight with Wesker I loving lost it. That was the peak of Resident Evil games, and is up there with old school RE 1 on PS1 voice acting poo poo.

There was that time my TC was talking to the guys in our truck about how we totally smashed up some Afghan vendors stalls and peaced the gently caress out without reporting it to higher. Then my PSG in another truck let us know over the platoon net that my TC had been saying that stuff over the battalion net and everyone heard us.

Insurgency is really good about this. Team leader gives a command and you pop up the reply wheel and smash that NO option and get:

Our CSM would listen to other peoples' nets (like all the way down to platoon) and then bitch them out for poo poo he overheard. Our troop was finishing up a mission when one of the trucks that was off the route checking out a large open area hit an IED. The CSM's convoy just happened to be a few minutes behind us on the route, so he he came upon us while we were still waiting to get an up from that truck (that platoon's PSG). CSM Dickhead decided that he would step in and show us how it's done (:rolleyes:) and told the guys on that truck that they couldn't dismount or drop ramp until they had cleared the immediate area around the truck. How are they supposed to do that without getting off the truck, you ask? Hang off the RPG cage and flail the minesweepers around was his solution. Meanwhile, they determined that one of the hatch plugs (Strykers) had shattered his knee in the blast, so naturally they write up a 9 line and get ready to call it in when CSM again steps in and says that he will call it in. The retard completely fucks it up and takes several minutes to figure it out, meanwhile the MEDEVAC is already on the way (our FOB had birds and was only fifteen minutes down the road or so, and I'm pretty sure that somebody just sent a text back to the TOC while asshat was tripping over his tiny dick).

The rest of the guys on that truck are shaken but fine, so the PSG has them start moving out to clear a spot for the bird to land when again CSM steps on his dick and says that it's totally unsafe, the bird will have to land on the hardball. So now the guys have to painstakingly clear a path back to the road. Somewhere around this time, one of those one man IED magnet vehicles that engineers use for route clearance shows up and starts making its way out to the damaged truck. Meanwhile, the clock has been ticking away for-loving-ever, the MEDEVAC and escort have been circling overhead the entire time, and the wounded dude still isn't allowed to be moved from the truck because now he wants the lane wide enough to send a truck out to get him. Because of his stupidity, it takes a whole loving hour just to move this dude to the road (150m, tops) to put him on the bird.

Especially stupid was that this whole time that truck was not a mobility kill. The IED only blew apart the rear axle, but a Stryker still has three more, so the PSG and driver stay in the truck and drag it back to the road where it gets picked up by a wrecker. When the CSM finally concludes that everything is now squared away, he says something like, "I'm glad I could be of help," and finally loving leaves to go back to his FOB (a different one, thank gently caress). Everybody is steaming mad.

This fuckstain was the same guy who redirected ISR to look for uniform violations on one of our platoons out at a COP, who ordered the doors taken off the bathroom stalls because of "CSM Jerkoff sucks" graffiti, and who also listened in on our nets and pulled our entire troop over to the side of the route, where he then took two PSGs out into the middle of a dirt field (:wtc:) to chew them out for making jokes about having their guys do backflips off the truck in order to clear the ground the way he wanted it done.

Those parts probably shouldn't be written into a script, but they sure would make it authentic. What the gently caress, over.

The happy part of that whole deployment was that our squadron commander was a super cool dude and knew that everybody hated the CSM. He would routinely send the CSM to other FOBs for weeks on end to meet with various people for... whatever made up poo poo just to keep him out of peoples' hair as much as possible.

One of the strongest instinctual behaviors ingrained into me was always checking if the mission crew comm knob was pulled before telling some bawdy rear end story.

Navigators liked to catch flight engineers sleeping on poo poo like that. No one needs to share intimate details of a TDY hook up with 15 guys in the back.

When asked if I wanted to deploy to a combat zone if given the option, it was always a big "gently caress no" from me. I had no doubt in my mind that the chucklefucks in charge and the ones around me would be the loving death of me, and stories like this don't stifle the idea.

Jokes on me though, loving idiots in garrison nearly did me in so maybe I would've been better off being IED bait.
