January 23, 20179 yr Bought a key through a 3rd part website and will start the download when I get home. I'll see if I can get my footing or not
January 24, 20179 yr ProTip: Angel City Elite is the Head-Case Faction of choice, for obvious reasons. https://i.imgur.com/QnMLDhB.gifv Edited January 24, 20179 yr by Grahame
January 25, 20179 yr This is an interesting analysis of the TF2 netcode. It is long, but worth a watch.
January 25, 20179 yr I am all set on the game and started playing with the Xbox controller (from my Rift) but Brent says that I need to be more of a pc purist.... If the barrier to entry is that much play it may be some time before I'm in as most free time is going to exercise and learning piano.

If the barrier to entry is that much play it may be some time before I'm in as most free time is going to exercise and learning piano. Exercise and piano are dumb for old people. If you didn't learn before you were 50 it's not going to happen.Conversely, just use the controller if you're comfortable with it. You'll be fine. I know you don't have a good K/M setup where you're playing.**BRENT**Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
January 26, 20179 yr Learning mouse aiming can be problematic for people that didn't grow up in the PC shooter era. If you're only going to play casually, then controllers are fine. If you intend to play competitively then you'll have to learn to aim with a mouse eventually, but it is a lot of work. On a controller, ergonomics are fixed and how to aim is more or less obvious. On a KB+M setup the ergonomics are up to you, and there are many different ways to aim, or even hold the mouse, so the situation's way more complicated. I'll echo the advice to use whatever you feel comfortable with, and if you start getting into the game enough to feel like you want to invest actual time into it, then learn to use a mouse. I've posted some resources to that end before, but I can relink stuff like this (not entirely accurate but gets the point across) or this or this. FPS games do take a lot of execution unfortunately, and learning it is not so much a function of age as a matter of effort and time, and not having said time when you're older.
January 26, 20179 yr Boy did we ever get spanked last night by a bunch of 13-year olds. They even talked trash to us in the chat. My ego hurts.

January 29, 20179 yr I have not had time to play beyond starting the training thing to make sure the game works with the controller. I have had the kids in the evening every day this week and been so burned out I just went to bed. I'm at the lake this weekend and don't have any access to the gaming pc.
February 24, 20179 yr Ghost Recon: Wildlands is having a free open beta this weekend and I think Brent and I are going to check it out. It is 4-player co-op so if anyone wants to join in go ahead and give it a download. Steam Link (scroll down and click "open beta"): http://store.steampowered.com/app/460930/
February 25, 20179 yr I can't remember, is Ghost Recon the stupid one that you have to sneak around and not kill people? I prefer to not sneak around and kill everything that moves.
February 25, 20179 yr In that case, Jeff, you'd be fine with Killing Floor 2 and Titanfall 2. That approach can also be applied to Project CARS
February 25, 20179 yr Yeah, I have KF2 and have seen you play PCs. I was thinking of Metal Gear Solid which drives me crazy with all the sneaking bullshit.
February 25, 20179 yr Jeff, find a game you like and will play with us and I will buy it.**BRENT**Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
February 27, 20179 yr Grahame just successfully landed a plane in the water that was not a sea plane. Right after we planned and executed a meticulous assault on an enemy base that involved mini-gun towers, rebel mortar strikes, and one pesky electrical generator... Which was right after Grahame and I shot down a bunch of helicopters with a tank... Which was right after Brent got his drivers license revoked for killing too many civilians/trees with his "creative driving." -- Yeah, that was awesome! I will almost certainly be getting the full GR:W game at release. Edited February 27, 20179 yr by TMoney
March 1, 20179 yr Had a surprising amount of fun going to the nVidia GDC event with Grahame. The projector they were using in-house was the single best picture quality I've ever seen on any screen, ever. My guess for it is 8k HDR 60hz. The on-screen demos were absolutely stunning. We got to play on one of the demo rigs afterwards, but all they had was some fighting game we were unfamiliar with.
