Random Video Game Crap

I shudder at the thought of the hentai they are going to make of that game. Just... it's going to be awful.
Earlier in the week was a bad time to search the Splatoon tag on Tumblr. There was more horror than cute, but Tumblr is actually taking down entire blogs that post that kind of shit. I'm amazed a social media site would really do anything about content like that. It's better now, but there's still shit on there.
But good stuff too:

Out of curiosity, I checked the Splatoon tag on Tumblr. Only 5 posts before I ran into implied nudity, and about 50 posts down to get to outright porn. That's pretty bad, considering how many people are still talking about the game's announcement.
It was worse a couple days ago. The pron-ish stuff was the majority and it was nearly as bad as the Pokemon tag. But Tumblr's been shutting down blogs, so it's cleaned up a little. And it's sad that that is cleaner.
This would be a GREAT time to do a cross promotion with Viscera Clean-Up Detail. I can just imagine it... they do a short video of the squid girls shooting around... and then it goes to Luigi with a bucket and a mop. He sighs and gets to work.Earlier in the week was a bad time to search the Splatoon tag on Tumblr.

Wait just imagine this.
Not only is Luigi trying to clean up with a bucket and mop, but he's also giving the Splatoon folks a death glare.
I kind of wish Splatoon was already out so they could throw an inkling into Smash Bros, but I doubt Nintendo would throw a character in from a game that hasn't been released. Might be assuming too much.
don't know... we got Marth, Roy, and Lucas. I'm pretty sure I didn't get to play THEIR games until after Melee or Brawl. Yes, I'm counting it when it's Nintendo's fault we didn't get to play it.
Yeah, but the game's have been released. Unless Japan is getting Splatoon before October, I don't think it would happen.
On the note of Lucas, I'm wondering if Nintendo letting Robot Chicken do that joke means they're going to put it on the Wii U VC, since they're in a GBA release mood. That, or as its own release on something.
Or I'm just full of dumb ideas. I've been playing Earthbound this week and it's such a great game that I wonder what we've been missing due to lack of Mother 3.
... I don't know what you're talking about *hides avatar*
I wanna be the very best ...
... at modern military shooters, I mean. I am grown man and so can you.

Don't kid yourself. If you could pay a senator to get them to give to you, it would be capitalism.
No wonder everybody hates it.
Also, why the hell can't you use the coins you pick up to buy weapons?
His first mistake was playing Battlefield.

No, I'd say his first mistake was installing Origin. But even with that taken into account, I still hold Battlefield players in slightly (SLIGHTLY) higher regard than Calladoody players.
I had a lot of fun playing BF1942 with the little woman. A whole lot. I really miss it.
You want to play a GOOD Battlefield style game? Try Planetside 2. It's free to play, but you can earn everything that isn't cosmetic through normal play, as long as you contribute to the fight. Vehicles are spawned dynamically as you want them (on a timer and it uses up resources that you regain over time via territory control), same with planes... and you can spawn into a certain plane and van, giving you mobile options for spawning. I'm literally surprised by how fun it is... and it's on Steam, so no Origin.
I'm fighting for Vanu on Waterson.

I've noticed you logging in to Planetside 2 every morning lately as I'm on my way to work. Kinda makes me a little jealous. I used to play it, but it used to crash on me all the time on my old PC. Maybe I'll give it another try now that I'm on a 64 bit operating system.
When I heard about Hardline having "Heists" and being a la Payday... I started to laugh. My friend and I had this discussion when he brought it up last week and I told him, "Dude, this is a mod of BF 4. Pay full price to continue to play with friends. nothing more, nothing less."
And to compare it to Payday? No way. Payday is COOP. Battlefield doesn't even have a shred of coop.
I miss games like RTCW/ET where you'd have a variety of objective/classes and you can pick out your load-out and work with teammates against another team to win. Sadly, the last decade has been plagued with yearly mediocre BF/CoD games.

This is basically Planetside 2. While capturing each territory ALWAYS comes down to holding points for a certain amount of time, in order to achieve that, you might need to..
- Be an Engineer: Fix generators and emplacements with your repair gun, resupply your troops with ammo, lay down tank mines to destroy enemy vehicles, place down a turret to give them cover, or heal MAX units.
- Be a Medic: heal troops, place down passive healing domes
- Be a Light Assault: Use your enhanced mobility to fly to places others can't get to (which is GREAT for placing a squad beacon) and ether infiltrate enemy territory or provide support from higher angles.
- Be a Heavy: Use your rocket launcher to fight enemies and use your overcharged force field to soak damage.
- Be an Infiltrator: Use your ability to go invisible to stalk the enemy or penetrate their defenses, put down motion tracking darts to keep track of the enemy, or hack enemy turrets/consoles to deny the enemy access or to support your team. Or snipe.
- Be a MAX: Wield the strongest firepower and armor on the field as you trug along.
- Be a pilot: Fly a support fighter to take down harassing fighters... or fly a Liberator to bombard the enemy from the air with cannon fire. How about flying a Galaxy and providing your platoon with a way to airdrop into enemy territory?
- Be a driver: Command a tank to fight enemy units. Use a Harasser to perform quick attacks on the enemy. Or drive the Sunderer, providing your side with a ground based mobile spawn point and possibly a means to repair/rearm their vehicles.
It's a WAR and it's going 24/7, with random ALERTS that provide enhanced experience for contrbuting. Don't like the fight you're currently in? Go to a different territory and start a new front. Things are too intense everywhere on your current continent? Go to one of the other two and try your luck there. There is literally always a fight to be had.
You also have tons of class customization (though it takes certs to get new weapons and those might take a few days/weeks to get if you don't want to buy them). You can pick the kind of armor you want, the kinds of tools you want, the kinds of guns you want and what you want on those guns. You can even customize your vehicles (like my Sunderer has a grenade launcher and a flak cannon, with the ability to give allies ammo and drive through force fields).
The only stuff you HAVE to buy in the game are customization options like camo, different helmets, and some of the specially colored weapons. Everything else can be bought with certs. 1 Cert = 250 XP. You get bonus XP and a discount on everything if you sub though... and subbing gives you full access to several Sony games, including DC Universe Online. It's a good deal if you like their other titles or just want to buy stuff/get XP faster.
So, as I said in the E3 thread, they have now released official drivers for the Xbone controller.
My 360 controller has been on its last legs for a while now, so I picked one up. It feels much more comfortable in my hands, so that's a plus. Not a fan of the new bumper buttons. They seem to be less optimally placed than they were on the last model. Overall, though, I like it. The triggers are great, and I like the grippy joysticks.
Wow... reading that back to myself, it sounds really pornographic.

Sshhhhh.... don't stop.
Dammit Steam, stop giving me Summer Adventure Card 3. I have three of them now. I needed OTHER ones, you know!
If I get a double, I'll probably hit you up. But you can always hit the car trading forums if you want to get rid of them too.
