The answer to any question "nice inexpensive furniture" is Ikea and it always will be.

Their $20 desk tops are dogshit and get scratched if you so much as breathe on them but they're $20 desk tops so I can't complain. I got a setup with two adjustable trestle legs that looks pretty nice and only cost me like $60 altogether.

The core of Dark Souls is the bosses, though.

I totally get that but I feel the same way as him. I have a ton of fun exploring and picking up cool loot and killing guys and kind of resent it when my progress is blocked by a boss.

Apparently the big fancy 20th anniversary Diablo 3 patch is just a regular adventure mode dungeon with a graphical filter on it, and you're only allowed to play it in January

Hope nobody got their hopes up

Watching Jeff Gerstmann of Giantbomb play Titanfall 2 -

Lol it's a completely loving different game on consoles with a gamepad. Guess I made a mistake buying on PC.

What's apparently different on consoles?

The way slower pace of aiming of others makes it a lot likely you'll get instantly railgunned the second you show up on someone else's screen, and dealing with the movement of other pilots seems more manageable when they're not doing instant 180s with the mouse all the time.

Kind of the same thing as always with FPS games on gamepads vs. mouse & keyboard, just ratcheted up a little. Maybe I'm just getting old.

The Switch seems like a neat console but I thought it was supposed to be Nintendo's emergency fix for the Wii U bombing so hard. It just seems like they didn't learn any lessons and put out an alternate universe Wii U.

Still, looking forward to buying one in 2 years when it's $200 and has a bunch of pack-in games.

Just polished off the demo tonight and bought the full PC version from cdkeys for $38. It's one of those rare instances where's there's a nice, detailed free demo with unique content to sell you on the full game.

How the gently caress do you guys beat Witcher 3? I feel like I've put a poo poo ton of hours into this game and I still have a ton of poo poo left to do without even touching the DLC.

It took me something like 140 hours

Just keep at it, man. The main story stuff moves fairly quickly so if you're bored of side questing make sure you keep the story moving.

I like how in BF1 you can top the leaderboard without even killing anyone. They've gotten a lot better about rewarding people for teamplay and not just kills.

anyone else getting mass effect andromeda when it drops? i preordered which is like the first preorder for me in loving years

Waiting for the reviews. Heard way too many stories of higher-ups leaving and other troubled development stuff for me to do something silly like preordering.

DA:2 is total loving trash and I say that as someone who played through the whole trilogy within the last year. DA:3 is only slightly behind it.

DA:1 owned, though. It holds up really well.

Bethesda games usually give you a character with a blank slate and let you do whatever with them, which appeals to a large group of players. It doesn't seem ridiculous for people to be disappointed about that going away.

Yeah Bethesda has trash writers and refuses to get better. It's hilarious how some people act like it's not fair to compare the game to Fallout: New Vegas and only compare Fallout 4 to Fallout 3.

I bought a mint condition Game Boy with the neon pink fanny pack and a ton of games at a thrift store a couple months ago for $40

Totally worth it

I've kind of been keeping an eye out for GBA SPs in decent shape. That was really my golden age of playing Game Boys, though I have fond memories of endlessly replaying Link's Awakening on my original.

Been playing Zelda for a couple hours on my Wii U. Seems pretty good, though the graphics are rear end and the frame rate bogs down pretty badly in a lot of spots. From what I can tell it's the same on the Switch.

You can do everything with the Pro controller so you don't have to hold that stupid tablet.

Try to get a screen protector for it if you can. Apparnetly it scratches easily, especially with the dock if you're not careful

I'm not shocked, Nintendo products tend to have poo poo screen durability despite being relatively rugged in other ways. I'm sure goons are acting like you'd have to be some kind of idiot retard to get so much as a blemish on your device, though.

That's pretty weird coming from people who probably already have a Wii U and thus could be playing the 99.9% identical version of the only game worth playing on the Switch without having to buy a new console.
