    Edit:

    Holy shit the top comment on that innocuous Futurama clip though.
    Max Steel via Google+1 month ago

    OBAMA SAID HE'S INVADING SYRIA.
    SYRIA HAS A MUTUAL DEFENSE AGREEMENT WITH RUSSIA AND IRAN.
    IRAN AND RUSSIA ARE ALLIES OF CHINA.

    THE U.S. IS GOING TO WAR WITH RUSSIA, CHINA, SYRIA AND IRAN.

    GOD HELP YOU ALL WORLD WAR 3 BEGAN TODAY

    Secret Titanfall thread, I ended up playing this for a couple of hours on Xbox and this game is still really fun. Got back up to level 9 and oh god do I miss electric smoke.

    The playerbase seems ok, I only ran into problems a couple of minutes ago when trying to play hard point. There were like 200 people playing that, like double that for the campaign even and something like 2k playing attrition.

    If yall are still playing on PC by the time I get paid I might buy it again to play with yall.

    I just genned for the first time last night, gen 2 now!

    Losing all my stuff is a bummer but it seems that gen plays a big role in matchmaking and I'd like to play with higher gen folks.

    The GFWL-to-Steamworks update for Red Faction: Guerilla is in open beta
    Today I would like to invite you all to participate in the public beta of Red Faction Guerilla with full Steam Support and complete Games for Windows Live Removal.

    I'm just amazed that they don't allow for five player groups. It really shows that "esports" mentality they are chasing where they'd rather get rid of a possible collusion exploit where a group can farm xp together than provide a pretty fun way for a group of people to play together.

    Yeah, that's superdumb. Maybe once their e-sports dream tanks, they'll build it for the actual playerbase/community

    I've seen this sentiment a lot (I said the same thing when I found out), but Turtle Rock said five person parties were just disabled for the alpha because they wanted to test the matchmaking. They really should've had some sort of message in the game about it.

    Yeah okay CoD, you may not have an inventive story but you're pretty damn fun so far
    Nuclear Power Plants across the globe were attacked and meltdowned by a terrorist group, leading to the Atlas Corp led by TOTALLY NOT EVIL Kevin Spacey becoming the largest corporation and standing army in the world.

    Then you discover he learned about the attacks beforehand and let them happen so he could profit

    Then you join the SENTINELS which are basically GI Joes that have invisible planes and cloaking armor and laser guns

    Really I am still on the fence about Titanfall it looks fun but two people I work with ripped it a new one and whenever it was brought up would air their misgivings about it

    What were their complaints? I found it to be a lot of fun in the beta but ended up not getting it because it came out the same day as Dark Souls 2.

    Titanfall was too casual. Like it was designed for 85 year old grandparents on their phones.

    They thought it was too easy and various rambling complaints about the mechs and parkour

    Because of it I got people into Kerbal though many of them don't like how math heavy it is

    so they wanted it to be counterstrike? Clearly it's not trying to be anything similar.

    I love Titanfall. At this point, the only game that has a chance of dethroning it from the top of my GotY list is Dragon Age. I love the movement, the titans, the smart pistol (I don't care if this makes me a monster), and even the regen challenges. A sequel is near the top of my most wanted games list.

    I don't know really do questionable things like sell their systems and then months later buy a new one if a game becomes a must play thing
    They really did sell their 3ds when the manager started cracking down on people playing pokemon at break and lunch
    One of them bought a new 3ds just for Smash Bros

    Titanfall plays more like Unreal Tournament than Call of Duty, which might have thrown them off.

    One of the major things that bothered me about Titanfall and turned me off from buying it was the lack of FF in general, and especially between Titans.

    Being able to blast a friendly Titan with anti-Titan weaponry WHILE their precious interiors are exposed to allow small arms to do damage is ridiculous, hitting them in that state with the big guns should be a near-death experience for them at best. It just very thoroughly made me nah and wander away.

    People have, in the past, responded to this by talking about friendly troops getting crushed by titans walking around, to which my response is parkour. You're meant to be all over the buildings and shit anyway, so get out of the damn way.

    I really want FF in a game to show people blazing away and sitting in one spot are very bad ideas when your friends start lobbing grenades to save you from a rush

    Oh thank the dust, we didn't actually have to give them everything!

    5VMMaxFl.jpg

    Just...most things... :(

    Bonus: 155 turns of progress this is what the map looks like. Settings are Easy difficulty, Easy world, Huge world, and 6 factions.

    DQLqJ56l.jpg

    I'm currently setting up some proper defense / response forces in each city and trying to work out where the city I'm meant to destroy is so that I can make preparations.

    Fake Edit: wait, I just realised, I had to give them all that to get a truce, not even true peace.

    oh damnit. EVERYONE TO THE MINES, WE MUST APPEASE THE CULTISTS FURTHER SOON.
