"But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?

Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day

And head back to the Milky Way?

And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?

Was it everything you wanted to find?

And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?"

This whole song is absolutely beautiful but this snippet has got to be my favorite part

Homework. Then Some MGSV or some coding fun(yes, I do it for fun, too)

Edit: Nevermind that, going through old photographs I was too lazy to take off my camera. I'm finding some pretty cool stuff.

Productivity Min'd

About to work on a class assignment. At 2 AM. Because why not?

I put in about 5 hours in one sitting so here's my first impressions:

If I didn't have work to do right now I'd still be playing. I'm blown away by how smooth this game runs considering it looks like I'm playing a rendered movie. My PC is nothing to scoff at but even the most powerful PC can take an FPS hit if the game isn't optimized properly. It runs at a solid 60 fps which from what I understand is the cap(Not a fan of capped FPS' but I can forgive it.) The entire 5 hours I was playing it didn't drop below 60 once and my settings are maxed.

The controls are the tightest they've ever been in the series and feel great. I've got the PC version which unfortunately is a console port at it's core but the development team had the decency to at least make the keyboard and mouse controls responsive enough to not require use of my controller, though menus are a royal pain.

As for gameplay, it's deviated quite a lot from the MGS formula but that's not a bad thing. In fact I think this game wouldn't be half as fun as it is now if they stuck to the old formula. As I said before if I didn't have work to do I'd still be on it right now. I'm probably gonna put triple digit hours into this game before I even complete it because the free-roam aspect is fun enough to keep me entertained.

And yeah I understand what you mean now by the grueling start. That was legitimately painful. :S

Metal Gear Solid V

I can say for sure it wasn't. It was stylized but more along the lines of Worms than Army Men. And I'm pretty sure it was an RTS.

Well the thing is this is always gonna be the posters opinion. Those 2 aren't bad examples because for whatever reason, those probably ARE the worst games to them. It's impossible to get an objective answer in this type of situation.

So, I only briefly saw the gameplay for this game at a friends house years ago so I'm not sure how much of what I remember is accurate. If he gave me the name I don't remember it.

The game style seemed that of a RTS. The art style was very cartoony, almost like that of the Worms games but basic 3D and top down. From what I recall the units were short and fat and looked like they were made of clay. When they died I can't remember if regular old red blood came out or if it was more akin to liquid clay the same color as the unit. I don't recall much of what base building was like if any since I only really saw him moving the units around to attack other units.

Well it JUST finished downloading for me so I'll get back to you shortly on what I think of it.

I've pointedly avoided as much video coverage of the game as I could so I can experience as much of this as I can personally.

Popped in for about 15 minutes but kinda got forced off. Kept stopping to buffer because my brothers downloading MGSV :S

Though I did get to witness the death as medium though >

Watching youtube videos while waiting for a friend to contact me about something.

I might have to. I have some stuff I can put into it right now but it needs a lot of polishing before I'm confident in showing it off.

Well, considering my extreme social anxiety that seems to only manifest at that intensity in regards to phone calls, that'd be a nightmare job for me. Like even calling people I know causes hyperventilation it's super weird.

If anything I need to spiff up my portfolio before sending out more applications.

Act of Aggression.

 

Yup, it's the next in the line of the C&C Generals games.

I may actually look into that then. Generals is still amongst my favorite RTS games.

OT: PoE again. I'm REALLY digging this game. I haven't pulled all-nighters for a single game like I have with this in years.

This feels sooo weird. My head feels light as air and I keep expecting it to be there and remembering it's not.

Cut off literally a foot of hair. Gonna donate it to one of those causes that make free wigs for cancer patients. Much better than just throwing it out.

You people... XD

So I'm about to go get a haircut. First real shortening of my hair in... 8 years? It's currently below my waist. Gonna keep it around shoulder length because it's just so damn hard to manage. Still, this is gonna feel wrong for me for a while.

Pillars of Eternity and Metal Gear Solid V

I got MGSV for free too. Gift from a friend who got it free from HIS friend who got it bundled with their purchase of a GTX 980 TI but already had the game.

Getting one of the games you've been looking forward to playing the most for free is a great feeling.

Also if you like DnD then Pillars of Eternity is a great game for you. It's also FULL of content. 9 hours in and I've barely scratched the surface.

@BTG: was talking about both scenarios!

 

What I'm doing: Finishing up this chat with customer support. It feels really worthwhile and good when they manage to fix the issue for me. X3 I've generally had no issues with customer support... except... for Blizzard. Blizzard is really annoying. :I

I feel like the only person never to have issues with Blizzard customer support. Granted I've only ever needed to contact them twice and both were finished without event.

Starting a download before I take a nap. Kinda nauseous for some reason.

There's an honor student somewhere deep inside me but it's constantly being hunted down and smothered by my ADHD. Though every so often, when the planets align, the 2 call a truce and something amazing happens.

But mostly it's just smothering.
