Well, good. Because I downloaded it last night.

It definitely has a learning curve though. The shooting mechanics will feel a bit off initially.

We basically made this game for Capcom. All they have to do is spend the money and time and make it. They can thank us later.

Smart choice.

Crysis 3 demo is pretty, even on medium settings. The MP gameplay doesn't do much for me though. Makes me want to start Crysis: Warhead.

I've been playing more Republic Commando and I can't get over how well that game has held up over the years. It's still ing awesome.

From my brief time playing the game, I will say: all aircraft forever. It's gonna take forever to unlock a rocket launcher that's capable of locking on to something...

I played DMC 1 instead and holy shit I just learned I can click in the right thumb stick and switch between force edge(the best sword in the game) and ifrit without having to go to menu everytime and I've had this game since PS2

Hax.

Of course, I could just play the game on easy...doesn't seem to affect the trophies anyways.... Oh look, Ni No Kuni arrived. Will I start it and not finish it, like most of my backlog? tick tok tick tok...

I remember reloading next to never in this game... just take the perk / ability / whatever that makes characters turn to ash when killed, makes the game 10x better. What are you reloading, your pistol? Or your save? I just realized just before I clicked submit that I may be interpreting this the wrong way....

I just bought the pack, I may buy the next one as well, but I know I won't be playing the game in July and September when the last two packs likely come out so I passed on the season pass.

Pretty well written article about XCOM.

Nice to see Polygon's web design is annoying as ever.

Yeah, I'm referring to saves. I'm trying to get the low chaos (best) ending.

Well, since my GPU currently is only a 9800GT, anyone want to game it up on some DotA2 or LoL tonight?

It looks pretty, but is pretty terrible from a usability standpoint.

It's not as terrible as the interview they did with... Double Fine? where you could only see half of the page at any one time and had to hover your mouse over the other half to reveal it.

"Terrible" and "Double Fine" go hand in hand.

Depends on when you wanted to start playing (I have to go to bed at a reasonable hour so I can get up for my first day at my new job tomorrow) but I'd be down to play a little LoL tonight.

Congrats on the new job. Doing same stuff you were doing at the previous place?

EDIT: starting on friday is odd.

Yeah it's kind of similar stuff to what I was doing before, this place is kind of a startup company that makes casino type games for Facebook and soon iOS; they use HaXe as their language instead of AS3 but those really aren't all that different and I've used HaXe a bit in the past, and the stuff for iOS is obviously going to be Obj-C/C++.

And yeah, well originally I was supposed to start this week, but they extended that to next week because I wanted to see if I could find a closer place for me and my roommate since right now the commute to my job on public transit plus a bike ride is about an hour and ten minutes one way. But rent prices for the city and peninsula are off the hook (basically to get a decent 2BR place right now in a location where we could continue without owning a car would be like $3000+ which is almost double what we pay right now). So ultimately I decided we were better off with cheaper rent and me just learning to deal with the commute, we'll keep our eyes open and see if rent comes down but right now it doesn't really make sense to move. So yeah since I told them I didn't really need additional time since we decided not to move they said I could possibly start this week, but they had to wait for my PC to come in and they still aren't sure if it will be in tomorrow, but even if it isn't I'm sure there will be HR stuff I'll have to do.

I went into the office the other day to just kind of get a feel for the commute and especially the biking portion since I just got a bike and I haven't ridden one since like middle school, haha. But I got to meet some guys I didn't meet in my interview and everyone was super nice, and there is one guy working there who I worked with at my previous job in the San Francisco Bay Area, so it's cool being able to work with him again.

Also, since we didn't end up moving which is going to save me a bunch of money in paying a new rent deposit and moving costs I decided I'd spend some of that money to upgrade my computer's sound stuff. Ended up getting this, these, and this for a mic.
