Lol thanks for all the TV help and non help >_< I think all my gaming tube TVs of the past got burn in, so plasma is not my friend at all. Plus I always liked the look of LCD for some odd reason.

Be proud of me guys though. Just bought 999 a min ago

Also learned how to program and use a DS touchscreen. Might use it on my next project having to do with KFC and computer love
 
Well I started my new job today, it's been fun so far, and everyone seems very friendly. I get two computer screens (I totally forget I can put things on both sometimes though since I'm not used to it, haha). The commute in from Berkeley isn't too bad, and there is a gym really close to where I work so going to workout is easy.

I'm sort of moved into my new apartment too, except my stuff still hasn't left NYC yet, I think I almost have enough stuff to survive though (assuming I drop in on my friends sometimes to hang out and play games). I at least have the internet at my new place, although the only thing I have to use with it is my computer (and I don't have my desk).

Oh I also wandered into a comic shop in Berkeley and decided to get some of The New 52 from DC Comics. Right now I've been reading: Justice League, Justice League Dark, Wonder Woman, Teen Titans, and they didn't have 1 or 2 of Supergirl but they said they should get more of those so I'm going to read that as well (might consider looking into Batgirl too, but they didn't have the first two issues of that either).
 
GGT 157 changes thread titles more often than an enemy in Deus Ex HR dies without leaving any ammo behind.

Seriously, what the fuck? Who are these guys running around with assault rifles that only have six bullets in them? Does everyone think he's Revolver Ocelot or some shit?
 
I have seen the face of God.

WTF. Rolento, let me tell you something. I have never seen worse logic, ever.

If we break your argument down, you have said:

"Thanks for nothing. My completely different type of thing broke, so I think a plasma will break. I also acknowledge that my fondness for LCDs is completely irrational and makes no sense."

Get a plasma.
 
Bit on the $150 black Wii with NSMB and the new Zelda for free from Target yesterday. Couldn't pass at that price since I was itching to play those two games and some others like Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country etc. that came out since I ditched my launch Wii back in 2008.

Plus I just need some games to play while waiting to get my hacked Xbox Live account back (don't want to risk losing saves or achievements if I play off line now).

Played the shit out of Zelda yesterday--nearly 9 hours into it. Really loving it so far, played up to the volcano area on the surface world with a lot of exploring etc. mixed in. The waggle is a lot better than in Twilight Princess and it seems more story driven with more dialogue than most prior Zelda games. Graphic design is very good and it generally looks good though lots of jaggies.

I was thinking the same my entire playthrough. Makes no fucking sense that they'd only have 3-9 fucking bullets.

I never said I needed the bullets ;)

I think the first and last levels were the only ones where I went in and just wrecked everything with guns.

Shotgun, fuck yeah.

Since when am I good at logic? Your adopted child would agree with me.

So then to help my small flappy vagina of a mind, is there a burn in proof plasma or some info I should know more about? I'm being entirely honest in that I need help with this shit.

I am a huge dumbass when it comes to anything hardware (software is like butter to me though). My new PC I got based off o other's suggestions and a new TV will be the same.
 
Burn in really isn't an issue on modern plasmas. Some image retention, but that's temporary. No bias from me, as I have an older LCD rear projection TV.

I'm not much of a videophile and don't play any games where input lag matters so it's all pretty moot to me. I'd probably lean toward and LED LCD tv if I was buying a new one right now though. Love the thin designs and they use a lot less power than a plasma. PQ all looks about the same to me from looking at top brand LED LCD and plasma sets.

Seems like you can get a good plasma for a good bit cheaper though, if price is a huge consideration.

Been there for years.
 
You almost have to try and burn images into a modern plasma TV. Pausing a game and wandering away for hours and hours would eventually do it but if you're ever in that situation, just turn the TV off while you're away.

My parents got a plasma about a year before I got mine and that thing is on hours and hours every weekend during football seasons and still has no permanent scoreboards stuck to the bottom of the screen or anything like that.

No. No, absolutely, inarguably, false. The developers did it wrong.

This is Deus Ex. The entire point is that there isn't a "wrong way" to do it. Stealth and guns-blazing are supposed to be equally valid. That's how the original was. That was a pretty good game, y'know? Human Revolution seems to be all about forcing you to go down one path. You want to massacre your way through the building? Sorry, we don't give you enough bullets for that. Have a fucking air vent. I can't even try and silenced-pistol my way through (absolutely my favourite weapon) because pistol ammo ceased to exist a few hours ago. Oh, it's cutscene time now, so it's time for Jensen to act like a total fuckstick. At least you saved your bullets for the forced boss/twenty guys that spawn (who carry a combined total of fifty rounds of ammunition).

Plus, total immersion killer.

How I felt when I got to a Boss Fight.

My Jensen doesn't shoot people, he knock them out and sneaks by them. The gameplay was great, but the boss fights were lackluster. Starting the game I felt almost at home with the first Deus Ex. Then I fought a boss and it went out the door. HR does not enter into my books as a highly rated game, especially the cop-out endings.

Deus Ex was allowed to get away with it because that was a game from 2000 (which is still MILES and MILES better than HR). But a 2011 game? Such a lame cop out.

Indeed. It shall be glorious.

-------------------------------------------------------------

My Human Revolution playthrough had an impressive body count. Ammo wasn't a concern because I was dumb enough to buy it, scrounge it up, and just stealth shank everything when needed.

By the end of the game, I was so stuffed with ammo that I was just throwing bullets at people to make inventory room.

Bosses? Easy. Yeah, shit felt tacked on, but I was in a kill everything mood anyway.

Last level looked something like this for me.

There was a cute girl working the electronics at Kmart right now.

If I had Joel's slick moves or a batman hoodie on, I would have engaged her in conversation.

I fucking love ribs. I highly approve. :drool:

I don't need a Euro Extreme mode in my games. Life's hard enough as is. I just want to chill out when I game anymore, slaughter a bunch of people, and relax.

That'll just be weird. Or maybe flattering. Probably the first one.

I'll probably head back there later this week for some of those BF deals. I know my friend is going for sure, so I'll just tag along with him and if she's there, I'll totally get at her in the name of Joel.

I'll say three things about the boss fights in the first Deus Ex.

First, you didn't get cutscened into them. You could approach them however the fuck you wanted. Mines on the walls. Sniper rifle from across the room half-way through his first sentence. Or, in some cases, just run past the fucker.

Second, they had reasonable amounts of HP. For all his size, even Gunther went down pretty easy to a GEP gun.

Third, Laputan Machine.

Dude, you managed to find out you could slit people's throats with a broom in Assassin's Creed 2. That takes an extraordinary amount of experimentation.

God, now you are making me want to just go to play Deus Ex instead again.

And the ribs been rubbed gently, to Hank's desire.
 
Hmmm, did an experiment, for the fuck of it... I'm captain stealth takedown and have limited inventory space -- that said, from the moment the shit hit the fan with Arie van Bruggen to the moment I was back on the streets of Shanghai, I picked up a combat assault rifle and 109 bullets over the course of about 6-8 enemies that were carrying that rifle type.

Nope, they said they won't be able to get someone out here until next week due to the "unusually high volume of internet issues". Which I completely believe since everyone's always fucking complaining about them.

And that is great! I feel like I should have gotten rid of mine back when GS was giving $75 for them.
 
My friend went back and forth with Comcast, over two months and 5 different techs before his problems got fixed.

Dudes are so incompetent. Though the last dude was awesome, which is why it's fixed now. He asked who was out there before, friend described them. One dude that was totally worthless was one of them, dude knew him immediately upon description and said "Yeah, that guy's a jerkoff." ^__^
