  1. This is over the course of about a month. The list is long but I didn't spend a whole lot of money considering Witcher 3 Dungeon keeper Dungeons 2 Dungeon Defenders Dark Souls Company of Heroes 2 Dawn of War 2 Space Marine Rise of the Triad Fallout: New Vegas Guacamelee Fenix Rage Kung Fury: Street Rage Enclave Chaos Domain Hacker Evolution Knights and Merchants Jet Gunner Limbo Dust: An Elysian Tale Freedom Planet Super Frog HD Super Meat Boy Braid Dustforce DX I think that's all? Idunno... Been a lot of deals these past few months. In total that rounded out to a little over $100. A lot of them being from the humble bundle and a site that does 10 random Steam keys for like 4 bucks.
  2. I actually got a few people in at one point. Most of them curious to see the programming aspect of a game in the works.
  3. So I'm working in unity right now and decided to stream what I'm doing for gits and shiggles. https://picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=Blightmare Not sure how wide an audience I'm gonna get for programming but w/e Edit: Finished
  4. Eggs with soy sauce and almond vanilla tea
  5. Heading out to make good on my monitor warranty after a red line decided to appear down the screen all on it's own(literally just appeared while I was watching something.)
  6. I got the game in early-mid 2010 and had been playing it off and on until about early 2014. I can back that up. Hackusations are nothing short of downright insulting as it's a dismissal of any sort of skill or ability.
  7. Judging from this you probably have a really poor idea of this game's issues, and at 27.38 hours I'm going to assume those "hackers" you ran in to were simply better than you. Consider that I was watching snipers on my own team doing 180° no-scope rapid-fire snap kills, and heavies that were getting nothing but headshots... There is no way that was anything but hacks. Consider that I came here directly from a hack site, and know intimately what hackers do in-game. Consider that most hackers don't use aimbots, but merely hacks that allow them to know exactly where everyone is at all times. Consider that you are jumping to calling me a noob, when I probly have 10x more experience with this particular issue than you. Also, any hours I accumulated before it went F2P are not shown, as something went wrong with my account around that time, and all my hours were wiped. (I purchased it in 2007 when I got the HL2 GotY pack) I have nothing against better players, but when I see repeated use of something that is quite obviously a hack, I call it what it is. If a player actually has skill, they won't be an asshole for 10 minutes if someone comments on their play style looking very similar to that of a hacker. Everything you've just said I've experienced no more than about 10 times in 1500+ hours of gameplay. Either you're visiting the complete wrong servers or you're the most unlucky player I've ever met. Though I would like to correct a few things, snipers cannot get headshots outside of scope. It registers as a regular shot to the body even when hitting the head. on top of that heavies can also not get headshots as spy and sniper are the only ones capable of getting guaranteed critical hits from shots to the head and spy needs a special weapon to do so. As for players "knowing where you are at all times" when you play a map a lot, you tend to learn the favored paths most players take and in the case of say soldier or demo, fire a couple pot shots in it's direction in case. One thing I did back when I played was I'd take light mental notes about which sides of the map had team traffic as well as a few player names and if their names appeared on the killfeed or large number of allies get taken out I'd intercept that spot. More often than not I'd encounter the other team and get the jump on them. Seriously, hackers are not even remotely as common as you say they are. And if for some reason they are, then they are still absolutely terrible at the game and I don't care.
  8. I'm suffering from severe allegories
  9. Fear 3. When I first played it, I really enjoyed it. It was during the second playthrough that all it's problems started to click with me. Competitive coop had kinda bugged me from the start because of how much a breach of form it was from the first two. Little by little everything they did wrong just opened up from there.
  10. Black Ops assassins. When I first played the game I was young and had the reaction time of a peanut and was playing on the PS2. (goldsource I think.) I got to that part and imagine trying to fight those dipping shits with a joystick and about a 1 second mental delay. My hatred for them has carried over to modern day even though I can deal with them fine now.
  11. I said that I won't run I said to hold my tongue and do I think aloud wait can you hear me now?
  12. Or fish-corn
  13. Going to bed as well.
  14. Nope a movie.
  15. Bored and not in the mood to play any games right now so I'm just watching movies. TV seems to be having a monster movie moment and showing a few lined up. Not complaining.
  16. Playing Dying Light. I just beat The Bozak Horde, ranking me around 300 in the leaderboards. I'm gonna go ahead and use that to say I'm really good at this game, because fuck that DLC. 20 timed trials with only 3 lives maximum. I wouldn't necessarily say it's difficult but 3 lives isn't enough to save you from random deaths such as your character deciding that 3 stories above the ground is a good time to not grab a ledge and fall to his death or your gun deciding it's gonna have it's worst case yet of bullet stray and miss your enemy, hitting an explosive container and blowing you back to the start of the game. I am never doing that again. If anyone passes me on the leaderboards, good for them they can have it.
  17. Satisfied and content. I finally got my night/day cycle code working 100%. Been working towards that for almost 2 weeks now. Constantly rewriting code and writing out math formulas. Whew.
  18. I'm juggling a bunch of games as well as work projects so that's what I haven't been on, but I fully intend to log on eventually. Sometime this coming week for sure.
  19. As of right now, my favorite company in the indie development market would have to be Imminent Uprising aka Digital Homicide, but not because they're in any way a good developer. They are, for lack of better words, professional Man-babies. They have thrown the most fantastic temper tantrums after receiving negative reviews on their games I've ever seen, making the outburst that Phil Fish; creator of Fez; had look like a drop in the water. This developer is most well known for buying asset packs off the unity store and compiling them into the bare minimum hardly functional framework of a 'game' and then defending their decisions as if they're the saintly image of indie development there is. If you don't know about what's been going on, here's a few video's that explain this incident in perfect detail. Jim Sterling was at the center of the first meltdown and has since documented everything in a video he likes to call the Steam Meltdown Saga. S6s0Wpn1zmU Other youtubers have also gone on to cover a little bit of what happened such as TotalBiscuit, and a smaller channel I've followed for a while by the name of AllShamNoWow. Sham recently released a video talking about Digital Homicides newest, ironic addition to their lineup of asset compilations known as Temper Tantrum. VCK_E0lPSEY As an aspiring developer myself, this strikes a particularly frustrating nerve. They've gone on record multiple times mouthing off bullshit such as "our actions keep the indie market healthy by circulating money". Which if they had half a brain would realize that soiling the name "indie developer" is in no way helping anyone. I don't want my position to be identified with doing the bare minimum of work possible and then releasing a shitty product to the public, and I certainly do NOT want someone who does this practice speaking for me like that. In the end I feel this developer has a legitimate case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. If that's true, then there's absolutely nothing we can do to reason with them because they believe firmly that they're right and we're wrong, regardless of majority.
