To be honest, I've thought of reasonable uses for most of these, definitely not a most useless list for the most part.

this is a dumb post, people complained because they paid over 60 dollars for a game with more cinematics than gameplay and although you'd expect those cinematics not to be boring they almost all were. the best cinematic was when you flipped through a tv at the beginning.

at least shitty mindless drivel knows it's mindless and doesn't actively insult your intelligence.

If people are complaining for paying 60 bucks for a game that they didn't like, it's their own issue for not renting the game first, or realizing this is a Metal Gear Solid game, known for large amounts of long cinematics.

The cinematic weren't up to par of the other games, a lot of them, or maybe all of them had at least one part that was just ugh worthy.

And I think crumply does have a point. This game is better than most of the other shit out there, and a lot of work was put into it. I can understand just not liking a game, bit I'm pretty sure people do get their jollies from ranting about a game in a topic about that game over and over.

DD-WRT is also another custom firmware. Why are you guys asking about this when you could just google it?

Basically Tomato and DD-WRT are custom firmwares you can flash onto your router, that gets rid of the brand firmware, and gives a whole lot more options. AKA it turns a residential router into a full grade router (at least software wise). It gives you a shit ton of options, that most routers won't give you, for example you can turn up the routers wireless frequency output to broadcast farther. You can literally turn it up so high that it will fry your router.

Like whoever said, if you feel like geeking out, go for one of the two.

also is that one armed dude from street fighter III in this?  he was the best man

That's Oro, and sadly, no. =(

P.S. Akuma looks awesome. I just don't like how his Raging Demon is so obvious. Is this going to be like the other games where you can punch Akuma out of the Raging Demon?

Man, if that's a transexual to you, you must know some damn good looking transexuals.

Yeah man, I don't really know what you are talking about, but that's a pretty fucking disgusting face that wreaks transsexual to me. 

i have a 16 teradong accelerator capabale of 8 billion floating-dong operations per second and hyperdong transport

everything still lags for me but the dongs sure don't ;)

Haha, nothing really related to this game, but I was feeling pretty shitty for some reason and read this post, and it actually cheered me up! Thanks dude. =)

I started doing it about a month and a half ago and it's a lot of fun. There's a parkour group that meets at a university near me every week, and I've found that really helpful. I might suggest looking around seeing if there are any sort of groups in the area you live and join up with them.

And you make it sound like parkour is something you either can or can't do, when it's more of a mindset and an activity that you progressively learn.

If you can't find a group, I suggest just learning as much as you can, researching it, finding videos. Find something you think you could do and try it. Try doing different vaults over rails. Practice precision vertical jumps (you still move forward, you just aren't tossing your weight forward like a normal long jump). Try standing on a sidewalk and see if you can land your toes right on the cracks without losing your balance or tossing your weight into it.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

the voices

The goddamn voices. I swear to god there in game fight voices better be the same as Japanese or else I am going to shoot myself.

But the game itself actually looks great. It's improved so much.

Hmm... I like the look of the legos... But... hamburgers. I'm debating changing my vote to legos, but I demand the hamburgers be used in one way or another, even if its just random hamburger week.

(p.s. I just realized usernames look better without the underline, like goldenratio's)

it's not s good time to get into DC at the moment since every series seems to be in the middle of some big story, and final crisis and shit. It's all too continuity heavy rihgt now. I mean going back a year or so you could check out the Sinestero corps war in Green Lantern, and try and check out 52. They're the two best things DC've done lately. but everything out at the moment is kinda based on what happened in other stories.

But that's my point I guess, I'm looking for a starting point, so I can lead my way into where it currently is. I want to read the slightly older stuff so I can follow the older stuff. I just need recommendations for a place to start.

When you say getting into comics, do you mean like reading some trade paperbacks and shit or going to the comic store every week to buy new issues?

Anything really. I like buying comic books, but I want a place to start out (where I'll probably just read stuff online). Like there is no point in me going every week to buy a new issue when I haven't read any previous issues of a series, or any earlier series. I want a starting point.
 

Like "Oh you like batman you should read this series and then move onto this one if you like Flash" or stuff like that, if it makes sense. D:

So I've always had an admiration for comics, but I never so much really got into them, so that's basically what I'm looking for here, advice. I was wondering if anybody could give me a starting place to look into for DC comics. Things I'm interested in reading about are Batman, Flash, and the Justice League, or any other general recommendations anybody can give me. Any help appreciated.

Okay I fucked up my votes a little, as Frankies idea just clicked with me. My number one vote definitely goes for the hamburgers.

Number two would be Dopplegangers lego design, but turned over and connected on the side.

Third pick would be no pips.

It's at times like these I'm glad I have an R4DS. I can understand those wanting to buy it, some people like collecting and owning the games, and adding Chrono Trigger to your collection isn't a bad thing, although it is supporting shittyness. I see and understand things from both sides.

Is it for sure only just a port? Can somebody link me to the details saying it's just a port with a new dungeon?

Research in Motion
Sandvine
Perimeter Institute
University of Waterloo (apparently has the largest co-op program in the world)

I'm probably missing some other stuff, but basically I live in a nerd city. We have a google division here, I pass 2 universities on my way to school, and another college not to far away. Biggest thing about us is probably RIM, which are the makers of blackberries. I'm not to sure what else to say. =)

But I guess the most interesting thing about my city is the fact that Mister Bartek lives nearby!  I'm actually not to sure if he actually lives in Waterloo or one of the cities attatched.

easy difficulty with loading quite a few times is right there in his description, dude.

and actually people might disagree with this but I found the normal difficulty here to be pretty easy, or was that just me (not as in NO ALERTS easy, but as in surviving/beating)? like I rarely, if ever, felt like OOOOOH SHIT, except when I really fucked up and here comes two geckos oh wait RAIL GUN.

like I went into that raging raven fight with only one ration and forgot that regain restores health and I still won (albeit barely), that's a little crazy.

also I just realized that entire act had no actual stealth!

Wasn't the raging raven act the one where you followed that dude in England? Wasn't that pretty stealthy?

Also about the beauties dying even if you tranq them, I think Drebin mentioned that they can only supposedly live for a couple minutes outside of their suite. That's why if you stall the battle, it goes into that white place and it has a 3 minute countdown. I assume after that 3 minute countdown they probably die and you win, but I'm not sure.

I know what you're saying, the game definitely isn't as good as the others, and it does suffer from all the problems you mentioned, but I guess I really didn't care. I've always loved the metal gear solid series storyline, although I've never really taken it seriously, which made it easier to swallow what the game was spitting at me (yes I am swallowing spit).

triple post, just beat the game. there was no big plot twist at the end! I thought someone said OTACON IS A PATRIOT, but uh that wasn't the case.

oh well, what a stupid game. I am glad I did not pay money for it (friend's copy) and I have no urge to play through it again. christ, the BEAUTIES all being the same rape victim side story, jesus. if I killed them, does Drebin say YOU SAVED THEM SNAKE, or what. because I'm seriously confused how tranqing someone in the head is psychotherapy on the level these women needed.

They die, I'm pretty sure. It's the same thing whether you tranq or kill them. You're saving them by freeing them from this world. They are so tormented nothing can stop them.

Dude stop bitching and learn to edit your posts. Apparently, as I said earlier, MGS isn't a game for you.

Runes.
Gems.
Runeword combinations.
Skill tree bonuses.
Synergies.
Crafting
etc.

more to it then that bub.

I don't really get how a game being dated = you can no longer min/max in it or something. You seem to not like old games which is kind of sad, who cares if the graphics suck or whatever. The games you play now already look like shit I guarantee it a month down the road. Guild Wars especially is already dated and looks pretty bad (and also has no min/maxing aspects at all, so bad example.). I don't see how I or anyone else (read: millions of people) who do this are ruining it for ourselves since we obviously still play the game after all these years for hours and hours and enjoy it? It is still an aspect of the game you are missing out on, even just the basic parts of it.

on the subject of D3 they've said they don't have a final # of classes so the FAQ is wrong, but tbh I expect 5. Barb, Doctor, a sorc like class, a long range like class, and a rogue like class imho.

I never said I don't like old games, I just find when it comes to old games you have to have played them when they originally came out, or at least a while ago. And even then, you can usually find newer and better games. Wait a minute, how can you even say it seems like I don't like old games? Did you not notice the entire fallout theme going on? That's a game I'd rather play than D2 when it comes to min/maxing (but you could argue it's not online but whatever I don't care right now).

It also seems like half the things you mentioned have to do with socketing items, once again, related to items.  Is what I'm saying is that there are different ways to play a game. Diablo II is outdated, and the only reason why I'm playing it is because I want a dungeon crawler that I can play with my friends. The reason why YOU play it is because it's a game that you played back in the day, that has grown onto you, a game that you like to customize and blah blah blah. That's the way you (and lots others like to play). But not me and my friends. Are we missing out? No. We're just playing the way we want to play.

edit:

I thought of a semi-decent example. Ever played Gunz the duel? 3rd person shooter. Well in that game you can play normally, or you can learn a bunch of glitches and play k-style (ugh) which greatly increases your playing ability. K-style took a lot of skill to be able to do fully though. People who play k-style are playing the metagame I guess, where as non users are just playing normally. Nothing wrong with either.

it isn't even obsessive hardcore man, its not like uber french know the exact drop rates of every single item in the game to the exact decimal or something. It's building a character to be the best it can be. In the end it becomes less about the monsters you are slaying, and the character you are making (heh...that rhymed..). Getting a maxed out Bone Necro, a Glass Cannonzon etc is very fulfilling to us because you've reached the peak of your characters potential. It isn't HARDCORE at all, pretty much if you know any builds in this game and try to build one you are taking part in this, or working towards it."I am going to build a blizz sorc" is all it takes to get started, then you have to get stuff to build a blizz sorc. It isn't like other dc's were its just about OH WELL GET TO BOTTOM OF DUNGEON or OH WELL SLAY 1000000 ENEMIES FOR NO REASON AT ALL, it's about the character building, whether that's you building as best a blizz sorc as you can without grinding too much, or doing the Hellforge quest over 600 times to get amazing runes thru the Cube. That's pretty much the best part of Diablo is the character depth and customization aspects (tons of options, etc), even if you only know the basics or if you know the insane stats. Titan Quest did a pretty okay job at this, but the rest of the game had so many down falls in it, which is what makes D2 special, the rest of the game doesn't suck. Add in mods (like Eastern Sun) etc to the mix and you can have a near unlimited amount of character building to last you a life time. All i was saying is that by "just playing with friends" or whatever for fun, you are missing out on this. You guys could build your characters to be a team build and flow with each other, but I bet you aren't! I guess its instead of just replacing items on your guy because they have better stats, you actually have an end game plan and build, and work towards that, instead of just hitting the end game and being all "yes this wep is a whole +4 better than my wep" and replacing it without a thought.

But my point is, we're basically just playing for the gameplay and experience. I literally just want to crawl through dungeons. Some of my best experiences were Baldur's Gate and Champions of Norath for the PS2, my dad and I would play them so much. We didn't use guides or look up builds, but we had a shit ton of fun. We would do what we could to help each other build wise, if one character was lacking in something the other would compensate. We would trade items when need be, etc. That's what I'm looking for.

I'm not up for spending hours on GameFAQs looking at builds. When it comes down to it, Diablo II isn't a very deep or complex game by any means. It has a talent tree, and it has a shit ton of items (correct me if there's anything else I need to take into consideration). Like I said, Diablo II is dated, if I wanted to do min/maxing I would be playing Guild Wars right now or something. I'm just saying that because you play a game a certain way, doesn't mean that it is part of the game in a major way, and others are missing out. I could say that you are taking the game to far and ruining it for yourself by studying builds and farming for items just to become that much better.

its just I can't sit down and decide to play an hour of MGS4 like I can with any other game, because its fucking impossible. it really is more like OKAY TIME TO CONTINUE THE MOVIE and I'm just not in the mood half the time. I don't know why he made this decision to just be 90% cutscenes but it isn't conducive even remotely to pick up and play.

Have you not played a MGS game? That's part of their appeal. If you don't like it, then shouldn't you have learned that you shouldn't be playing MGS games from the others? I mean this game has more cutscenes then the others, but I enjoyed all of it (a lot of it was really lame, but normally wasn't a killer or anything). And stop making up shitty statistics as it isn't really close to 90%.
