Bureau health smacks are because you aren't flanking the enemy. Enemies in cover get absurd damage reduction.

Seeing as another Platinum game is coming out soon, will I see you in the PC Mutants in Manhattan or in the PS4? It is a co-op game and I'm looking for any potential toitles I can find.

Today I sighted an orphaned Watch Dogs PS3 disc without its case in a bargain bin. I'm not sure how it lost the case, but I was too afraid to pick it up and give it a home. Morally, have I made the right decision?

Spiritus Nox posted:Without threatening any NDAs, would you say that was one of those gaming sob stories of a game with lots of interesting ideas that turned out to be too messy/hard/disagreeable-with-the-marketing-team to make it into the final release? McKiligan did an LP of the game with a developer if you're interested. It never got archived, oddly enough. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo5ZVwMpQoLNQdFtI6VW9ecyMseAAXgI3

Pedantic nitpick: Nintendo mentioned the NX at the same time as they mentioned some mobile games in order to contradict "N is abandoning consoles and going mobile-only" rumors, said they were announcing it earlier than one typically would in console hardware cycles, so naturally rumour-mongers interpreted it as "N is already abandoning the WiiU and bringing out their next system" because reading comprehension is hard.

According to the Intarwebs, there's confirmation of View_Mongrels 2. What I am wondering is whether or not C+I can be masochistic enough to LP it. I need a source for my sweet ramping.

Chip Cheezum posted:Let's talk about dumb NX rumors, science, tech questions, and an old topic from the No More Heroes 2 LP! The Structure Of Scientific Revolutions is well worth a read, but I don't really blame science education for not introducing the wrong ideas first and then talking about the right ones. At least for early work, which is more about memorization than understanding, introducing a bunch of wrong ideas really isn't going to help if your students aren't equipped to understand why they're wrong.

A lot of science curricula do include the incorrect theories to an extent, at least at a high school level anyway. I don't even remember what kind of vinegar volcano poo poo we did before that. I think most people have at least a basic exposure to thinks like the luminferous aether or sun-revolving around the earth business and it's good to do this sometimes because knowing why something is wrong is just as important as knowing if something is right.

There was a recent working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research (which is probably the most influential economic research organization in the world, roughly?) about that Planck quote; basically these guys studied how the dynamics of life sciences research changed after the death of "superstars." They found that there often were a lot of novel discoveries by "outsiders" who had previously not published in that field after the death of elite scientists. Not exactly in the spirit of paradigm shifts but it was sort of interesting. There's a quick, ungated summary here: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/does-science-advance-one-funeral-at-a-time-researchers-ask/

No no see EXCELSUS is stored underground, so when it pops up for the fight it's a Metal Gear, Rising. Then Raiden gets Revengeance.

...oh my god. Wait, so I never played MGS4 ever cuz I didn't have a PS3 but...I never knew the game itself ended on Shadow Moses itself?! AND WE HAD A METAL GEAR FIGHT?!?! So wait, wait, guys remember the Shadow Moses stage in Super Smash Bros Brawl? Not only did Hideo Kojima sneak in a song from MGS4 in a Nintendo game, half a year before MGS4 came out, but HE PUT IN THE FINAL BOSS STAGE OF THE GAME AS WELL! God...loving dammit I love this series for its bullshit.  thank you so much for the huge covering of all this, that really answered a lot of questions for me Chip!

Fighting Ocelot on top of Not-Arsenal Gear is pretty much one of, if not the, best points in the series. Fighting Ray from Rex is also cool as hell but not nearly as emotional.

Ocelot. Also, Ocelot would never have gotten his final wish of smooching a Big Boss substitute, so he had an important role to play in the emotional story as well.

Man the Patriots really hosed up their programming on when the clones would degrade. I mean, I know the timeline is kinda shaky and hard to track (and IIRC MGS5 kinda retcons it a little) but Solid starts rapid-aging in like, his 30s, but Big Boss kept on truckin' being the ~best soldier ever~ into his 50s if Peace Walker onwards are canon (yes I know the actual reason is because Kojima really doesn't plan his story out ahead of time)
