I finished Spec Ops last night :shock: :shock: :shock:

Thanks Guardian_Owl for the ship tip in Chapter 13. On top, behind the box, blindfire worked the first time and got me the trophy as well. That last turret section of Chapter 14 sucked balls but I made it through. I won't play any multiplayer but I fear this game got the shaft due to it. I probably would have scored it around an 88. I really like these games with more of a thought out story.

So the ending was basically a Tyler Durden moment which I thought was a little strange at first, but it made sense because it was pretty obvious that he snapped with all he went through. It was really cool how the epilogue was done after the credits as well. I think overall it reminded me of The Walking Dead in the sense that you are making horrible choices in a shitty situation. I did like that you weren't a hero though and there was some overall depth. I want more stuff like this, story thought out and injected into the gameplay.

I agree about Driveclub. The worst part to me is that they delayed the game a fuck ing year (pretty sure it was supposed to be a PS4 launch title) and still have these issues.

Oh and on top of that I am reading that the game has very little customization and doesnt even have all the car brands yet because they want to put out DLC. So what the hell were they doing all this time? Sucking at making a game I think.

They didn't even Beta test it to make sure it could handle the online play which, in retrospect, is a sign of how much of a disaster this thing is shaping up to be.

I've completed one Raid so far and yesterday reached Atheon on the second attempt. Had a friend get the same two weapons in back to back raids, only ascendant energies. I got two pieces of Raid gear and a bunch of ascendant shards. Do you actually like the system Stotch? I just think out of the six, I was the only happy with what I got. It was mutiny, with everybody only getting energies.

If I was only ever doing the raid once, I would hate it. But I don't care, since I'm going to do it multiple times. Also, there's absolutely no way in a raid to tell who the mvp would be. Simple k/d wouldn't cut it, because you could have someone who just gets unlucky and doesn't finish a lot of kills or something. There's no point score in the raid. I've heard people complain about it, but I've yet to see a single, legitimate solution to it.

I think they should increase the size of the rewards pool and implement a system barring repeat weapons/gear. Ascendant energies and shards are needed, but they could tweak it for a 52%/48% chance between them, although after what they did to the Queen's armor, they are actively trying to slow down people reaching the current cap. All in all, I actually like the Raid as it does show who the hell can work in a teamwork environment and who can't. You can separate the children from men when you get to the two relics and final boss parts.

The game was done for what seemed like awhile too! I liked all the twitter comments today.

Dogs shit in the yard and just leave it there. Cats win, confirmed.

Don't forget dogs sometimes roll around in it. Thanks, Sparky.

I brought in a cat someone abandoned at my apartment complex. He chills most of the time, occasionally wants food and some petting, is always at the door to greet me when I get home from work, and hasn't wrecked anything. I've got no complaints.

 
We had a neighbor (renter) a number of years ago that had a dog and I would see them take the dog out on a leash, hold the leash while the dog shit in our yard, and then they'd just take the dog back in the house, leaving us to clean up. After this happened a number of times I finally took a shovel and flung the shit, like a monkey, into their yard, and in a last bit of anger, also smeared some of it on their front steps and front door. It wasn't long after that they moved. Mission accomplished.

Are you sure it's a cat? That doesn't sound like a cat.

He's just letting you get comfortable, while secretly plotting your demise.

Seriously though, there are several stray cats that tear into our trash and climb all over our vehicles. They're like a clan of feral cats that keep breeding. I can't stand it.

Speaking of...and also topical:

I have two cats at home and hate them. The woman and I got them in college and really liked them at the time. Then we got a dog and the cats were super lame by comparison. The one is all super fat now and will occasionally shit on the floor next to his litter box. Such an asshole. I only feed them/keep them alive out of guilt. My 2 year old also loves the cats since they'll just lay there while he lays/climbs all over them (my dog is a mini- Dachshund so laying/climbing on her would probably kill her).

So you really have three cats.

 
That being said, I have two 15 lb dogs and a cat. I never wanted a cat and this sums up what happened in my situation. Just change girlfriend for wife:

She came home one day with a free cat that one of her coworkers had to get rid of.
 
Once again, ordered something on ebay 3 days ago and still haven't received shipping confirmation or any communication from the seller.  I thought you couldn't even get paid on ebay until you confirmed shipment?

I'm convinced that Amazon sellers are like the honors class and ebay sellers are the special ed class.

 
Wow, just got done going solo on the nightfall this week.  Cheesed my way through the whole thing, but the end was still touch and go with the damn shanks shooting me through the dock.  And to top off my victory, I received an exotic chest piece - Heart of the Praxic Fire - that makes me look like a badass knight.
 
fuck YEAH

Bitch about it on CAG, and sure enough get the shipping confirmation a couple minutes later. Maybe I am just spoiled by Amazon sellers who almost always confirm the next day.

 
I reported the problem I had with the character I was playing in Spelunky PS4 sometimes being invisible, to mossmouth on twitter and sure enough when they checked they found a frame of animation was missing for the character I was playing. They are going to fix it in a patch. It's the guy with the black coat and hat. I forget where you unlock him.

If anyone is interested in signing up for the QA testing mentioned the other day, here is the link:

https://www.vmc.com/games/Pages/Multiplayer-Gamers-for-AAA-Titles.aspx

Schedules vary but so far (for me) it's been on weekends and evenings. There's an NDA so I can't give recent examples of games, but it's AAA stuff. Last week's game is one of fall's biggest releases that I know some of you are buying. Ubisoft & EA primarily use them for QA. The Walking Dead Season 2 is another example. Pay also varies since it's based on your location's minimum wage. Compensation is sent through paypal.

Thanks for posting that. Not counting on anything, but signed up anyway. Would be nice to make a little extra cash sitting at home too.

I'm an Astros fan so the Cardinals have always been the biggest rival for them (back when the Astros were good anyway, and in the NL). Plus they've been successful enough, like I said it's cool when new teams enter the fray. Also, their jerseys are terrible.

Legit. Division rivalries are a given.

Backlog_Overload said:
It's not really their fault, but a big part of my hate for them is from the infamous infield fly game a couple years back against the Braves. Every time I see them, it's the first thing that comes to my mind.

Something like the Seahawks fail Mary against the packers?

Oh, Legit.

Because they're a bunch of whiney fucking assholes. Stink of LaRussa and Pooholes.

Not legit, and what I assumed most meant with their hate. Kinda like how I hate the patriots and Tom Brady for no good reason
 
Yea, as a Brewers fan it's pretty easy to hate the Cardinals. They've had our number as well as our division for awhile now. Theyve always come off as arogant pricks as theyve been stomping us. Pujols and LaRussa are definitely some names that come to mind as this, as Zimm has mentioned. I did however like David Freese as he was their hometown boy that was pretty successful in a quieter way. But yea, he's on the Angels now.
 
I watched a bit of an old South Park episode about metro sexual men and "gay culture" last night.  It was pretty funny.

You guys have gay dogs.

Tips?
 
I don't like this poll...I don't know if I love them or like them quite a bit...it should be love or kind of like/ok.

Edit: fuck it, I love them.

So what ending did you pick for yourself? There are several based on the choices you make at the end of the game. I ended up
committing suicide

Now that you finished I can link the video with the less known Spec Ops the Line ending:

How is Tyler/Brian's no longer existing division rivalry more legit than my currently existing one?

Brewers/Cards rivalry is

My ending:
I went with staying alive. I loved in the ending that I got though one of the guys in the truck that takes you away says you know we saw some things back there, How did you make it out alive? Walker goes "Who says I did?".

Lesser known ending was amazing!
The funny thing is I did stare at that fish tank for a minute or two, lol.

He looks mean in that pic. Is he mean?

His color pattern is pretty crazy, pure brown head and then checkered white all over his body. He looks cool.

He's not mean at all. He's probably terrified in that pic. The thing he's sitting in is a trailer that connects to my kid's battery powered tractor, and that was his first time riding in it.

Tyler, what happened on your dog's back?
Click to expand...
My brother was baking or something and his hands were covered in flour and so he decided to brand my dog (if you can't tell, it's a handprint). Apparently she didn't care. She's too stupid to care so she just walked around like that for a while.
