    Steam Treasure Hunt

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm sure many of you have noticed by now, but Steam has a treasure hunt going on right now. One of the objectives is to have 10 friends on your list, so in the spirit of shameless plugging, my steam name is twilightsquid

    Help me, help yourselves, make some friends. Pretty win-win for everyone, wouldn't you say? :wink:

    Already got that one.

    4 down 6 to go!! 1 for a TF2 hat!

    Red Alert: Gov't takedown of websites.

    I don't think this is the first time a takedown of websites has happened, but this is something I'd keep a cautious eye on of course.

    OCR isn't a site considered in the same vein as those that gotten taken down. We don't host commercially sold content. We're a pretty open fansite with much positive media attention that has even been mentioned in industry events in such a light. I don't think comparing us with those sites is even close.

    *sighs in relief* You have no idea how happy i am to read that bud. Shit like this frightens me and makes me all the happier of the choice i made earlier this month. It needs to stop before it jumps the rails. The last thing i want is this website being shut down.

    This is looking more and more like a nightmare. Could OCR end up in this position?

    No i do not support piracy in any form. But blanket shutdowns do nothing but hurt the people trying to pay tribute and i can see this being a target....

    Poker Night at the Inventory!

    Hillariously funny good poker too aaand TF2 unlocks. (got 3 of 4 already)

    This game has an insane amount of potential. I'd love to see other TF2 characters and other guys get in on this. Alyx at the table? Doctor Breen!?

    The possibilities of this game are endless if they're willing to put time into it. One of the best five dollars i've ever spent.

    The group that's there is a real bunch of cutups. Even the Heavy gets into the act. Though i think i actually respect him more now than i did before and i'm a heavy weapons player myself. God i hope they keep working on this.

    I did. How does that change the fact that Mega Man classic was in the first 2 games?

    Besides that, Mega Man has made a glorious return to modern gaming (in a retro way), and is gonna be in the upcoming Mega Man Universe. It would be in Capcom's benefit to put Mega Man back in MvC.

    I've always been annoyed with the original megaman to be honest. His size made him rather cheap his supers were predictable and easy to block and his Beam super while among my favorites basically took him to an X like level for it. I've always been of the opinion that it should have been X involved in these games rather than the original. Maybe you'll see him maybe you wont. Personally i want X. (give me the friggin falcon armor!)

    So, he's in the first 2 games, but not the highly anticipated sequel? That wouldn't make sense.

    But if that does happen, for some strange reason, my MvC2 team will be broken, and that just won't do.

    Read the whole thing. The original megaman i don't expect to see now. Volnutt (legends) is possible. However the involvement of the ORIGINAL zero leads me to think that X will be in this one.

    First Person Fighter

    I can't wait for the first game developer to do the "first person fighter" genre right. I know there are games out there, but I'm talking killer reaction times, seeing muscles twitch to be able to counter your opponents attack, sensitive controls and response zones that make you barely hit and/or miss an attack, sophisticated attack and defense systems and physics, and more. I mean, you could basically map the different possibilities of fighting with the different forms of martial arts, in digital form. Is it even possible given the limited controls of a controller? Will the new motion controllers remedy this? I personally think that this game type is inevitable.

    Can it happen? Yeah. Will it? not any time soon for several of the reasons employed in this thread. And a couple that havent been.

    Fighters the professional kind now, train for fights for significant periods of time. We're talking months and months of training. In the UFC 25 minutes is the longest a fight goes. A championship bout. usually they train for 15 minutes and if it goes that long they're fuckin exhausted. And we're talking about some of the fittest people on the planet. Your stereotypical gamer aint anywhere near in that good of shape. Your average fighting game currently is 8 fights. Standard configuration is best of 3 ranging from 60 seconds to 99 seconds. Less if you choose it. Infinte if you choose it. Assuming you take 30 seconds a round you get about...8 minutes of fighting. with maybe 15-20 seconds between fights and 10 between rounds. You have to be in serious shape to be able to maintain that kind of endurance. And in the case of the more supernatural games. You'd probably be unable to maintain that level of speed for any more than.. i'd say 5 minutes. There are physical limitations that prevent this on a serious level...unless the world got in far better shape.

    How do you enjoy your music? Speakers, headphones, what?

    Could you tell me which Turtle Beach you own? I know the HPX and HPA2 give a really solid performance for their price even with music considering their price.

    I myself recently purchased the Turtle Beach Z2 and PX21, but both left me severely underwhelmed, though I guess that can be attributed to me being spoiled by the sound off my headphones. The PX21 has an inline amp that hissed waaaay too much for my liking, and the Z2 was just a pretty poor product all around, IMHO. I quite liked the PX21 IF the hissing wasn't there. In the end, I returned both.

    The Creative Aurvana Live shares the same drivers as the Denon D1001 (which cost around $130 in many places), but at half that price. Assuming you can find the CAL nowadays for the reduced price. :whatevaa:

    The CAL still continues to surprise me for the $65 I spent on them. They beat the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 which cost me $200 at one point, and compares to them favorably with the same music.

    If you want a really good mid fi headphone for a low end price (less than $90), the Sennheiser 555, Audio Technica AD700 (though light on bass), and Creative Aurvana Live are my top picks.

    I use DX11's combo PC + Xbox 360 sound.

    Ok...This is getting crazier by the second.

    Arthur looks like an absolute beast. A full transfer of all his SNES moves and possible armor upgrades. (gold armor!?)

    After seeing Wesker i'm astonished. That's going to find a place in a lot of players hearts. Only one or two characters in the game ever get teleporting powers. That's got a whole different level of awesome. Also as for Chris he and Wesker Wont be the only RE characters. With this latest movie i half expect Alice herself to be in this...(and god help us if she is.)

    However Trish is an unexpected and VERY welcome delight allowing me to form a new team. Hell Sword is on its way especially if Silver Samurai or Haytato make it in.

    God i cant wait for the full list. And have they commented on DLC expansion packs?
