Like making the survivors more OP than they already were (if we wanna keep spergin about this we should probably move it to the l4d thread)

Anyone has experience with a mouse bungee? Pretty overpriced but sounds like a godsend for wired mouses.

"Godsend" to solve... what, exactly? Do people actually yank their mice so hard they run out of cord, or somehow get stuck on a cable attached to the opposite side of the device from your hand? I get the appeal of wireless peripherals letting you mouse or type from across the room, but the idea that the wire itself is a problem outside of range boggles my mind.

Dead Island trailer was pretty chilling. Developed by a Polish house, gives me hope for the PC version. 4-player goon co-op? Count me in.

Being developed by the guys behind Call of Jaurez which was pretty loving good to be honest and about as savagely optimized as you could ever hope to achieve on PC so consider me hyped.

Seriously? I'm hyped now. Call of Juarez 2 was like a B-rate Red Dead Redemption (think of how Two Worlds was in comparison to Oblivion and you've got a pretty good general idea) and the PC version was badass.

RightClickSaveAs posted:I'm still waiting for someone to make a Grand Theft Auto-style free roaming survival horror game with zombies. And Dead Rising doesn't count! The first was console-exclusive, and from what I saw of it they locked you in a shopping mall, put you up against a timer, and gave you 5 minute long unskippable cutscenes. This isn't a really fair evaluation. 1.You are locked into a mall but it's more like the mall of America than your local shopping mall. 2.You are given a timer but its extremely permissive, the games designed around replays because your level is saved from game to game 3.Wrong about the cutscenes. In short Dead Rising owns.

It ensures the mouse always has some cable slack, which makes it easier to move around. Of course, you don't need a specialised tripod to accomplish that.

There's always Survival Crisis Z. A bit shallow, but also a teensy bit awesome. And free. e: Still, Rogue Survivor seems like it would have that "build a fort to stand against the darkness" that would really make something like this shine. Maybe something like that will be the end result of Dwarf Fortress/Minecraft/Goblin Camp/all the other horde games. doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Feb 18, 2011 |

You seriously do not need what is probably a $50 piece of poo poo so that your mouse has slack. Also I have to agree with RagnarokAngel on Dead Rising 2. It's a milestone better than part 1 which is an older and more obtuse console exclusive. As for the subject of zombie games I love the ones that aren't poo poo. Fort Zombie sounds like a good idea but the execution is horrible to the point where Dominic White has not extremely positive things to say about it I think.

DR1 never had anything that specific in terms of time.

The Zombrex run is a bit annoying but you only do it three times. It also helps to be able to act like completely dumbasses in co-op.

Music playing through them results in the proverbial foot-tapping scene with the need or desire to get up and move. Great swing and pace—these cables smack that right on the nose big time." That's right, these cables are guaranteed to make you dance no matter what.

Node posted:Someone link that $500 ceramic thing that lifts audio cables off the ground. This was a review I read of these very "cable lifters:" quote:On first hearing the difference I was really surprised: the Cable Elevators brought about a clearly noticeable improvement over my homemade versions. Track after track, it was a delight to confirm that my system was sounding better. I noted hearing greater levels of dynamics, quicker transients and better attack, a darker background and increased musical articulation allowing for a more expressive performance. Also: greater control at frequency extremes enabling music to project more convincingly, all translating into a more believable and musical experience. Switching to cables on the floor, carpet to be more precise, was followed by a loss of musical involvement. The sound became emotionally flatter and slower, there was less of that "get up and go" and the corresponding musical energy I so preferred. I quickly went back to the Cable Elevators and continued to listen, long into the night. http://www.audiotweaks.com/reviews/cblelevators/page03.htm e: above was letter-by-letter hand-edited to provide emboldifying context for per-pixel emphasis on bullshit cultspeak ee: the sound actually became slower??? Now, this gentleman is not only comparing lifted cables to those that are merely carpet-borne, but the difference between his homemade porcelain cable lifters and the pricy brand name versions. Ah, the curse and the pleasure of he that should bear the Golden Ear! doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Feb 19, 2011 |

I hope the combat is better this time around. It pretty much ruined the first game for me along with the dodgy translation. I loved everything thing else about the game but I could never get myself to finish it because I'd get bored at some point during the third chapter in the city.

"It's only valid data for the individual taking the test" followed by a dozen vague references to studies about human hearing that never materialize. Much like scientology, audiophiles are amusing until you realize how deeply invested they get into it and then it becomes unsettling.

That's the thing I hate about hobby forums. You'll get some elitist dudes that try to invalidate what other people use to justify their spending habits. It really takes away from all the valid responses in thoughtful advice. It happens almost all over and it makes it hard to wade through all the bullshit to get actual advice.
