I've never been sure about this... Which is 12AM and which is 12PM? As in which is midday and which is midnight?

I've run out of hate for aim assist. I just get depressed now. It started with CoD, where I learned that it's permanent and I could only go AVGN and say "what were they THINKING!?" Aim assist is unintuitive, I notice it every time I aim at something, so it DESTROYS any and all immersion and I aim better without it. (Do not try to dispute this, I know that one of you will try) Then I found it in Mass Effect 2. Then I started banging my head against a wall saying "why are you people such goddamn morons!?" Then I tried the Uncharted 2 demo and there it was again. All I could say was "Oh for fucks sake" and immediately went to something else. Now cut to now, when I got BF3 on PC. (This was one of my first games on PC) worked around and got my PS3 controller to work with it (Thank you MotionInJoy) and found... Wait for it... PERMANENT FUCKING AIM ASSIST. (Now this I REALLY didn't get, I played the beta on PS3 and it didn't have aim assist, yet it did on PC with a gamepad? What sense does that make?) Then I gave up and am now considering melting the disk on video (along with that copy of MW2 that's sitting at the bottom of my games stack because It's a trade in and I can't trade in a trade in) in protest and sending the video to DICE (and IW) and posting it on youtube. Clearly people are going to keep doing this and I REALLY will not stand for it. I don't know, I might need one more game doing this to push me over the edge.

TL;DR Aim assist is the bane of immersion and I hate ever developer that makes it permanent.

Oh, and a second one for the hell of it.
I don't like RPGs because they're too open. Yeah. I just said that. They're too open, keeping the Dev team from putting a decent amount of polish onto the whole thing and it shows. Every. Single. Time. I've played two RPGs that aren't just action games with RPG elements. ME2 and Fallout three. I think that both of them are crap. Fallout 3 had no immersion and ME2 was so painfully mediocre that it fell below mediocre and became crap. I prefer my games more linear, like Deus Ex 3. It was an action game with RPG elements. It was good, but it still showed the same symptoms. Stealth worked, but wasn't great. Shooting worked, but wasn't great. Hacking... Okay hacking was great and conversation bosses felt really tense (though the upgrade for it ruined it, as it simply TOLD you what to do), but the game in a nutshell was "good, but not quite great."
Okay, Flash shield: Activate. Also, this might have some discussion value, but I know that It'd turn into not so much as a flame war as a flaming drive-by shooting. All of you against a lone man,

TL;DR read the damn post.

EDIT: wow, 500 words. I really can write the shit out of stuff I'm interested in.

Threads about those yearly sports games, like Madden or FIFA. There's not much to talk about.

Any one had any awesome moments in a game recently then got owned straight after?

Just did in tf2 as a spy, baited an engineer to heal his tele, then stabbed and cloaked as him (Saharan spy set) destroyed his stuff and getting a fair few kills in the midst of, then go to run away from a demo man and stand in the middle of his sticky trap which was out in the open, I even saw it before I got to it :/

Someone showed me this GLORIOUS image of them (Sniper) being backstabbed by me (Spy) while getting their head chopped of by a Demoknight who was a second away from getting headshotted by a Huntsman arrow.

I think it was named "TF2 in a Nutshell"

Ah well, different story for another thread.

Kellogg's Frosted Flakes! Now here's a topic worthy of less than a thread!

Also Bacon!

You just reminded me of this.

Sheppard's Pie. I am currently eating it.

I'd like to talk about how awesome Sheppard's Pie is. But, I'm sure you already know that.

Now, I'm going to stop typing this, and go back to eating my delicious Sheppard's Pie.

Nom Nom Nom.

Male or Female? And more importantly, custom created or the stock appearance?

Yes he is the worst thing to happen to this site since the final episode of Game Dogs
Yes they do
I agree, also white people should be called European-Americans
agreed
no I don't remember
that is true but I love heated debates
Would saying the bible anger anyone?
a gun...to my head
I would remove my... oh touche
I wonder that too man.

...final episode of Game Dogs? Moar like first amirite

Well I'm Australia, thanks for leaving me out. Jerk.
Damn straight
Is that like a show, or a game, or a movie, or what?
I'm not nobody
Wouldn't anger me, but I don't see why. It's not that interesting. I like the Greek shit, 'cause Blind Guardian made a kick-ass song about it.
Napalm and a truckload of morphine
Clever
Jesus fucking Christ don't even start me

I have one though: Why the hell don't I receive messages for being quoted any more, and how can I fix this?

Australia seems like a nice place to live... beside all the horrifying animals, I don't care that they live hundreds of miles away, I just wouldn't want to be on the same land mass as a spider that can eat a bird mid-flight.
That also explains the Bible thing. The united states is BIIIIIG into Christianity and it is not fun.
I also had that update problem for awhile. I'd say just wait it out or re-sign in.

Uh, I don't know what FPS's you've been playing, but other than the BF3 example you mentioned I rarely ever see a game that doesn't have the option to turn off aim assist.

 

[(sic) humor]

"What's the big deal with X?" threads always annoyed me, because it's unlikely people's responses are going to change the op's opinion.

In that same vein, most My Little Pony threads. I don't think anyone's altered their opinion on the franchise based on a single forum post.

And finally, disturbing news articles like "Man clubs puppy to death with baby seal he just murdered". Most responses are just different flavors of moral outrage, and the rest are various people declaring their loss of faith in humanity.

Midday is 12 pm I'm pretty sure.

12PM is midday, 12AM is midnight.

It's easy to remember if you think about it this way: Would 12:01PM be in the day, or the night?

I was thinking about democracy and gay mariage . Not that it doesn't have discussion value but i'm kinda afraod to post it here out of fear of being atracked .

I mean , we live in a democratic country( most of us anyways) , why is it frown upon to be against gay marriages . Isn't the purpose of demoncracy to bring an issue to the table , discuss both sides of an topic and vote for or against it ? People against it take so much shit for it . Isn't it a persons right to be against or for anything? ( this doesn't limit to gay marriage, but it's like the HOT TOPIC these days). I must not really knoe what democracy means.

You do have that right. Just like everyone else has the right to give you shit for it.
That's freedom of speech for you.

Ooh, I have one. Any thread that can be synonymized.. Synonymified? Synonylized? Well fuck you, Google Chrome Spellcheck, if none of those are words, what do you suggest?

Anyway, any thread that is a synonym for

"Why do people like what I don't like? >:O"

Be it MLP, or Twilight or something these threads really annoy me. Opinions differ, get over it.

Why does Windows have to be such a pain in the ass about activating?

Why did modern day christian's, Catholics in particular take god's name Jehovah out of the bible?

Very simple actually, Jehovah is not actually a real name or even a real word. How that word came to be was that they combined both the Hebrew and Greek words for gods name and made it into a word. It would be the same as if I tried to combine the Russian and Spanish spelling and pronunciation for a word together into one new word.

Do you think that Hollywood should make a live action adaptation of Batman Beyond so Mark Hammill can be the right age to play the Joker?

I don't know about Hamill coming back, but there was a proposed Batman Beyond live action adaptation that Paul Dini was going to write back in 2001. Of course, WB didn't let it happen, since they went in different directions with Batman following Justice League. And then the Nolan films came.
