Goldeneye 007's controls were fine considering the levels were flat as pancakes. You rarely had to look up and down except maybe in multiplayer. Playing 007 with dual analog controls these days might make the game too easy - Perfect Dark on XBLA was definitely easier, Joanna Dark's crosshair whipping about the screen all willy nilly hitting everything she was aiming at.
that's why jaws was unfair, he was so tall you couldn't get a headshot on him

Also, Far Cry 4 is everything I wanted out of a Far Cry 4 and I'm having fun with it, but there I was this moment that made me want to stab a dude. First of all, fuck flying enemies, they are assholes and everyone knows it. This eagle was hunting for my head, and I was ready. I was gonna nail the stupid bastard with a bow so I just waited for the swoop. I pulled the string when I saw it get ready; locked in on it when it was descending, but I wasn't letting the arrow fly yet. This thing deserved an arrow in the eye from 1 foot away. When it got within about 3 yards of me, my dude went into an automatic "cover-your-face" animation before the eagle hit me. Fuck you, game, I had this. I was ready, and you ruined it.
I am playing Far Cry 4 right now too, and I have to say, I find it HILARIOUS how completely freaked out all humans are by eagles. Like, one shows up and people with guns are like "OH SHIT, EAGLE! WATCH OUT FOR ITS TALONS" and randomly shooting in the air. Meanwhile, civilians with no guns basically just scream their heads off and run around wildly.
I mean, it is inarguably dumb how aggressive the eagles are, but seriously guys, there's a house right there, just go inside for a second.
Meanwhile, they are alarmed but calmer when being attacked by rhinos, which are 1000 times more dangerous. Not to mention shouting stuff like "Watch out for its horn!".
Last night I had this idea that I was gonna take down a rhino with my bow. The plan was to hit in the face, dodge its charge, repeat. This is how it worked out.
I just did this earlier today, and the key is to be in a place the rhino can't reach and shoot it with, I am not joking, like 20 arrows. It takes forever and is really silly.

I would even reccommend just installing the dev preview of el Capitan now, since it is pretty stable, but Apple has 100% blocked Java 6 SE from running on it, and I am kind of surprised how many big huge programs (cyber duck, mine craft) still rely on that.
The worst part is that it's going to take a long time for discoveryd to cycle out. It's in use on watch, phone, pad, mac, and TV. They let it infect everything, and every discoveryd device can poison a whole network. I haven't looked to see if it's been pulled from the new iOS too, through you'd expect it would be.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
honestly I loved Fury Road but have no idea how the fuck to even begin using any of those reaction buttons
this is 100% the point of the bonus reactions.
once people start using them in a consistent manner they get taken away
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb

It takes 3 explosive arrows to kill a rhino.
For comparison, it takes 1 explosive arrow to completely destroy a vehicle.

I am almost 100% positive iOS 9 is on mDNSResponder again. Same with WatchOS 2.0
But the Apple TV is still a fucking time bomb in my house.

I remember the jetpack space pirates in Metroid Prime 1 & 2 not being terrible, but that might be mostly because of the autotargeting and homing missiles.

haven't heard from her in a while

i liked that the charged plasma beam just instantly incinerated them
Oh so you guys are actually using exploding arrows to kill rhinos in FC4, disregard my complaint.
I thought you were using actual normal arrows and I was just like "Yeah... no. You would just die and the rhino would be annoyed".
We were mostly talking about normal arrows.
I made one post about exploding arrows, but all the rest of the discussion was about normal arrows.
I see.
Doesn't strike me as realistic but I'm basing that on assumption. Maybe people did actually successfully hunt rhinos with bows. Their hide is just ridiculously thick.

My problem with Far Cry is much the same as my problem with Monster Hunter
I don't want to kill rhinos, or the fantastical equivalent
The Far Cry games I've played (3 and part of 4) are definitely problematic in a lot of ways, and this is one of them. Killing exotic-ish animals for the sole purpose of upgrading your equipment is cringey, for sure.
I enjoy the other gameplay so much, though, that I have been overlooking these sorts of issues.

Does it count as a clean kill if you use explosive arrows?

something i learned in the Tube AMA is being able to react to your own posts is a mod perk
i'm pretty sure i've seen jake react twice on the same post too
what i'm saying is
burn the system down
No. In fact, the one time I killed a rhino that way, the corpse disappeared. That's probably just a bug, though.
I see.

I'm talking real life of course, never played FC.

The kids didn't do anything funny.
The video was taken down.
It's awkward on one level at most.
