Are there any new flight sim games? I'm going to buy a Saitek Warthog HOTAS (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HHAIY72/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2L77EE7U53NWQ) tomorrow (btw, is that a decent flight stick? My downstairs neighbor has one and it was super fun to play Elite: Dangerous with) and I want to have some fun flight sim games to play with. I looked at the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator but it came out nearly 10 years ago so I'm looking for something newer and flashier. I prefer combat flight sims, but anything with goals or career mode or a campaign or whatever would also be fun.

I play a ton of War Thunder which has an active goon community, a lot of the spergier ones kinda like the new IL2 but I dont use a joystick

I'm afraid that if we continue allowing this blackwashing of cosplay, someday there will be no characters for little white children to look up to and dream of cosplaying as. She should have stuck with some of Final Fantasy's very interesting black characters, like guy with the chocobo afro or Vivi maybe

Black Ops III is going to be incredibly stupid.

Please note, I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm super excited about it. I just wonder if this one's going to end with an Avenged Sevenfold concert like the last one did. That's pretty hard to top.

it's mortal Kombat 10 because Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate MK 3 count as two different games. Thereby bringing the MK games number to 10.

I hope we get a Mortal Kombat Tokyo Dift.

You're steam anime surprise

http://store.steampowered.com/app/264380/



Nearly the oldest ren'py (the python toolkit responsible for 95% of the visual novels on steam) indie visual novel is now on steam - for free, as they wouldn't dare charge for it. But for $8 you can buy the soundtrack!



I guess it's in Japanese or something?

Recommended by Freak Futanari: "I don't even need to play this in order to know that it's good, because it has an anime girl in it, which is good. You'll probably enjoy this, maybe."

Mortal Kombat needs a block button. What it doesn't need, however, is a run button.

The block button in Mortal Kombat is kinda useless, especially in X, because most standard attacks are so instantaneous that blocking them by accident is way more plausible than blocking them on purpose. Combo breaking with the block button is useful because it lets you beat your way out of an infinite combo... but blocking itself serves basically no purpose when you could just counterattack instead. Also, you can't block x-rays in the same manner as normal attacks because they hit 3 times before the x-ray happens which is weird.

edit: I think some of my online victories so far are purely down to the fact that the other person blocked while I played aggressively. I'm assuming that in those cases they expected me to also block their attacks but I've hit the block button voluntarily like 3 times outside of dragon challenges and combo breaking so it was not a factor.

Mortal Combat what the gently caress is going on:
  • shinnok gets too much god chlorine in his diet and becomes doom cyber demon
  • so then cassie punches him in the dick and shoots him in the eyes
  • raiden undoes that poo poo but becomes orange raiden instead of ocean breeze raiden
  • and decalres war on anyone who is gonna bother earth realm next

Shinnok used evil magic to make the jinsei corrupted and Raiden absorbed it because he thinks he can take it, but he's a dumbass as he is in all mortal kombat story modes and ends up being corrupted by the evil juice

I'm going to go ahead and assume that mk-mkx are alot like the Godfather trilogy
  • raiden is mike corleaone and liu kang is the lawyer guy
  • mike does everything in his power to protect his family aka raiden with earth realm
  • but in the supposed godfather 3 script that didnt make it he ends up fighting with the lawyer
  • since quan chi dies liu kang cant be brought back from evil form
  • with shinnok and shao khan gone i think liu kang is the only evil dude left to step up
  • sindel is still around but who gives a gently caress
  • anyways raiden sends his warning at the end of mkx
  • I'll be very impressed if liu kang becomes the new final boss
  • it will be like how the asian vampire hunter from dracula 2 takes draccys place in dracula 3
  • dracula 2 is great 3 not so much... vampires on stilts...
