Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.
A Sony Online Entertainment representative has issued a statement to Shacknews in regards to SOE President John Smedley having his flight diverted over a fake bomb threat. The statement reads "I can confirm that at this time the FBI is handling this directly." The rep added that no specifics could be offered, as this has now become a matter of national security.

steel battalion is for scrubs. that whole joystck controller thing just used one plug and all the software handled it seamlessly.

me, my setup requires six usb ports (kb mouse joystick throttle pedals camera) and at least two helper apps running in the background (head tracker, virtual joystick combiner) at all times. get on my fuckin level

oh and the head tracker takes batteries too

witcher 3 is going to be technically impressive and be a surprisingly detailed simulation of a fantasy kingdom but also be absolutely terrible to play

i finally figured out why witcher 2 did not capture my imagination so much


the whole witcher universe is based around talking to people and forming relationships and intrigue and poo poo that i dont care about


i just want to wander around stabbing things and thats why skyrim is exactly my speed - none of that tedious interpersonal interaction
