  • Fun fact about Watch Dogs (Only the first? I didn’t play enough of 2):

    The bikes were easy to use, and actively one of the first vehicles I, and many others, got. But Watch Dogs has an “invasion” PvP multiplayer system (or used to, that game will never be as fun filled as it was when I first played :/ ) where you would attempt to “hack” another player by following them not being noticed for a while. Thing is: NPCs can’t ride motorcycles. When you are out and about on a bike, and you see someone else out and about on a bike… Best trick for finding those invaders.



  • Why vertical? That’s definitely the worst part. Maybe for DS games, I guess. The SP always gave me cramps for its thin design, and I’d hate to hold my phone with both hands.

    Back when I was still buying new phones every time my old phone broke (so about 11 years back) I always liked the idea of a slide-out controller instead of keyboard for a touchscreen (just any modern) phone. Sony did the Xperia Play way back when, and if I was looking for a new phone at the time, I’d have gotten it. Nowadays I don’t even think they make the slide out keyboard phones. The next best thing I had was a little phone brace at the top of a bluetooth controller. It games great, but you it isn’t nearly as fast nor as portable. And even then I haven’t used it in a long time.

    If I did still use it, I’d probably want one of these, and I think the price seems good. But I would also definitely look for a horizontal product, first.



  • Assassin’s Creed Rogue was a hidden Black Flag 2 that came out when Assassin’s Creed Unity came out (Unity was a new engine for new consoles, but Rogue was a throwaway remix of the older game for 360 and PS3).

    I recently went back through Black Flag because Ubisoft added Steam achievements to a select list of their old games, which I’m a sucker for. The game was fun to play again, tons of fun, so I’d imagine Rogue would be good, too. Although I have a friend that likes Black Flag that swears that Rogue was boring.

    Although, a warning, Ubisoft cucked me in getting achievements because they actually removed DLC from the clients. You actually cannot play them without modding, and even then I’m struggling to get content that I paid for. That’s a small portion of the game if you don’t care about achievements, but it’s still something to watch out for, ESPECIALLY if you plan on purchasing the game. They sell Freedom Cry, one of Black Flag’s DLCs, separately now (might/might not have sailing in it).






  • It’s *less about shitty trademark or copyright laws, and more about Nintendo.

    First off, in all of your posts, you really don’t seem to realize that trademark has nothing to do with fan fiction or recreations. Not a single project that anyone has referenced has attempted to mimic Nintendo’s name and brand to sell a product. Zelda is trademarked, yes, so people can’t sell video games with “The Legend of Zelda” name- which has no bearing on this article or the work cited.

    Second, the statute of limitations doesn’t go back three years to some arbitrary date, it goes back to when the alleged crime or infringement occurs. So if someone begins selling a TLoZ knockoff game, they have no grounds in court to say something dopey, like “well actually I started thinking about selling Zelda knockoff games five years ago, so even though I just started last month it is out of the statute of limitations”.

    Third, from your list of shitty companies making it the norm, try Valve, who actively gives permission for people to mod and remake their games, and even allow the selling of remakes on their own platform. Or try Capcom, a Japanese company who has never attacked a fan game and still has full control over its IPs. But I digress, not being the norm has nothing to do with this.

    If the laws surrounding copyright were suddenly and drastically changed today, Nintendo wouldn’t change their stance or their scare tactics. They don’t have to do it, they aren’t losing out on sales from it- and if modders had the ability to stand up for themselves in court, I don’t believe Nintendo would win even a notable amount of cases.











  • 1: play CS:S or 1.6, they’ll run better than CSGO on hardware that ancient anyways.

    2: You can play CSGO, in the beta options, and find a Gun Game server online (browser is broken from this update, so you’ll have to search online to get address). “Arms Race” was valve’s new name for gungame for some reason.

    2.5: combine 1 and 2. It’ll be easier finding servers in CS:S right now, anyways.

    2.75?: The compatibility of making CSGO available for a wide range of devices kept it from progressing, the Source 2 change is for people who have a desktop from maybe ten years ago. My low end surface from nine years ago gets similar frames as your Thinkpad, and I don’t try to play games with it much anymore… but if you want to play new games, especially on the go, you gotta be expected to upgrade at some point.
