Social Entropy, Where Hip-Hop Lives [Giant Bomb]

LanglyLangly Registered User regular
0.jpg


Hello Social Entropy we are here to discuss hip hop and hop hip. Move it, groove it, twist it and remove it, because we are going to drill down on precisely two things: Truth, and The Beat.

I'm Jeff Gerstmann AKA Dr. Tracksuit AKA The Rap Man AKA Stamps.com and I'll be your Master of Ceremonies tonight, spinning all the greatest hits, especially the ones you haven't heard yet because you're just not cool enough. Later on we'll jam a little, maybe let some Social Entropy upstarts see what they can do with the mic and the deck.

Some people will want to talk about games. Well let me tell you - Video Games Are Bullshit

    I don't like to say "You should see this movie" because I hate pushing my preferences on people

    But this is one of those things that's beyond preference. It's one of those... I'd dare argue objectively good movies that everyone should endeavor to see. I would go so far as to call it important

    I've not seen The Matrix, and I frankly don't really care to?

    I've seen bits and pieces of all 3 matrix movies, never actually sat down to watch any of 'em

    Shawshank and Princess Bride r both real gud tho

    Yeah I get that

    but at this point even the most glowing of endorsement doesn't capture my interest, which is probably a bad sign about myself

    KBAM is very bad for Resident Evil 4. No one should ever play it that way. I'm being serious. There are lots of games where it's a preference as to KBAM or Gamepad, but RE4 is not one of those games

    my friend loves RE4 so I gifted her HD edition on steam but apparently the default gamepad controls are different from the PS2 version she's used to, and the mod she downloaded to change the controls causes the game to crash at times. Anyone know a solution to this other than 'get used to new controls'?

    (Since I was the one talking all big about RE4 controls, I didn't want it to look like I was ignoring you, so I wanted to say that no, I'm sorry I don't know anything about that.)

    (sorry i'm chatting a bunch in this thread, sorry)

    This OP should've just been about how wrong Ronnie is about Princess Bride.

    I'm gonna echo what @Johnham said about Divinity

    It's super good but may require a bit of nostalgia for older RPGs, though it definitely has a lot of modern trappings

    Also man they gotta tone down those NPC barks like whoaaa

  • LanglyLangly Registered User regular
    I think princess bride has several fantastic moments that make up for the movie kind of losing focus at points.

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    Ronnie, Princess Bride is pretty much a 100% perfect film for what it is trying to be.

    Since someone brought up movies they've never seen, I was gifted both Baldur's Gate II EE and Shadowrun Returns (and its expansion Dragonfall) in the last Steam sale.

    Which one should I play first? I have zero history with either franchise.

    Hmmm, BG2 is hells of good, but if you have no experience with that engine it may be a bit tough to get used to.

    I've heard really good things about Dragonfall!

    Yeah, I played a little of BG2 (as in, didn't even leave the first screen), and the game isn't very good at telling me how combat works. I could use a beginner's guide or something.

    Also, so far the dialog options have been this wild swing between "Let me help you, faithful companion of mine!" to "Fuck off, you're on your own".

    hip hop ronnie in the style of those old looney toon shirts...
