Whaaat? gently caress, now people are gonna think that building computers is easy or something.

Seriously, though, it's easier than ever to put one together. You don't have to worry about any of the weird compatibility issues of stuff that existed even ten years ago. Just pick reputable brands for your parts and you'll do fine, promise.

They're not really "faster," they just get more done in the same amount of time. That's all.

So is mine, but it's still chugging along just fine. I used to subscribe to the idea of upgrading every 4 years, but this last one is doing pretty well. The drives haven't even crapped out yet (knock on wood), but that's probably just because I leave the machine on all the time instead of constantly powering it on and off.

Last night I finally won a game of Mario Party (by the skin of my teeth and a stroke of luck) for the first time in the 20 or so years that I've been trying to. :toot:

You can do this against the floating kid when you get ambushed by the Man on Fire. It instantly ends the battle and it completes the "hit him with an attack" objective, because he'll dodge bullets and explosives.

How hard is it to hire a couple of vets to check the writing and then actually listen to their input?

"Bro... this sounds loving retarded."

e: They'd get boatloads of funny points for that, too. Everybody has some weird poo poo that they do on their own net. Even simple stuff like a bunch of dudes doing "boop" in sequence would be hilarious to see in a movie or game, and it'd be realism x100000000, too.

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.

Ugh, looks like it's always PvP, even though everything will be instanced. There's no way to just do regular ol' co-op.

Survival games with PvP only always wind up being a heavily imbalanced camp-fest. :sigh:

This really does remind me of MGSV without the batshit crazy bits and (to me) really tedious grinding of materials to upgrade your equipment. Resources are still there but it's not like you need a million units of fuel for some middle of the road gear. I love sneaking around bases and outposts, tagging everyone until all the red blobs on the map are gone.

I used to play a lot of Smash back in high school, to the point where we'd occasionally set up screens and projectors in the cafeteria after school hours and all that jazz. It's a fun game with cartoon violence and wacky physics, but once people start taking it seriously it very rapidly becomes un-fun.
