Too bad he was exempted from serving in Vietnam himself or he would have single-handedly stopped the country from falling in the first place!

Yeah Canada's trade surplus has also grown in the past year.

Lol.

But I guess Mattis, using that word to sound like Pence.

This is precisly what I said in previous BF5 posts. Also fuck the weapon upgrades in BF5,in previous titles you might get an upgrade that gives more accuracy with ADS at the expense of hip firing, BF5 just straight ups the dps with no negative to that.The hip firing seems to be carried over from BF1which I hate.

Apparently hip fire is way less accurate now, and you can't tap to make it more accurate. The recoil is also more predictable now (as in the guns will always recoil in the same pattern, which means you can learn to compensate). This has been requested for a long time.

I don't really get the COD comparisons except that the TTK is lower than before, but is something the developers have said repeatedly that they are trying to manage to keep it fun. Another reason that TTK is lower than previous titles is that you no longer regenerate health up to 100%, you only regen 30%. So if you get hit and then move on and can't find a medic or station, you can be one-shotted much more easily.

HOW CAN YOU CAUSE A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS BY INVOKING THE CONSTITUTION?!?!?!

By forcing the other side's hand when they inevitably say "no, we don't recognize that."

What nationalized industry in America works better since it was taken over?

Not sure if it is American management that is the problem, but in Canada insurance companies, utilities, and telecom companies work better when nationalized.

In other words, you enjoy camping. And I can’t think of a worse MP shooting gameplay style.  There is nothing fun about hiding in a corner and waiting for someone to run past so you can shoot them in the back. It’s not challenging, it’s not satisfying and it’s not fun. 

No I don't camp, I should re-explain myself. I play support almost exclusively, so I am on the front-lines resupplying constantly. But when I am defending a point I will not be running around, as movement is now the easiest way to be spotted. When attacking, it also makes sense to move and wait, and see if you can spot enemy movement. I don't stay in the same place for more than 15-30 seconds typically, but I make sure not to be needlessly moving around.

So it looks like Rush is gone. Shame if that's the case, even if Conquest is the main mode I always play. 

Grand Operations is basically Rush and Conquest mixed together, and I've been enjoying it.

I'm finding the exact opposite, I love Rotterdam. This game isn't like BF1 or even 3 or 4, where you could run straight at the enemy and see where they are (from spotting) and be in the chaos. Now players move slower and people are harder to spot, so you've got to position yourself more slowly and think about hiding in the shadows, etc. I find if I just stay still near important points, it's much easier now to ambush people since it's harder to see still players. I also use less ammo since there is much less of it. 

I also love being able to build fortifications, it's a huge game-changer for defensive positions. I agree that the TTK is high, but it only reinforces playing more slowly and carefully. I'm loving the changes. Also, I love changing the audio track to Wartapes. It compresses the audio and makes it sounds much more chaotic (everything seems punchier and more like a war movie).

You can still spot, but you need to be accurate, and it only shows the location you last saw the enemy. So if they move, the spot isn't useful. I like it.

Also as usual the sound design is incredible.

If you're not already following this account on Twitter, you should be:

Played an hour this morning, it's pretty good. Love that you can't spam Q to spot now (no spotting at all).

I really wish they'd just make a movie similar to the first but set somewhere else. Yes, it wouldn't be anything new...but it could be at least enjoyable. All of the "new" stuff they've tried has reeked of studio interference and has sucked.

Their poor eyesight couldn't be blamed on, oh.. recycling the same genetics for centuries? 

What?

Yeah I'd say that's a total loss. Am I safe in assuming that there were no adequate fire-prevention or fighting methods in place despite this being such an important building? Being that it is a stone building you'd think that some fire-proof doors would have done quite a bit, along with a proper suppression system.

So then the next question is: What will Disney do if Bautista refuses to return for GotG 3? Just give a throw-away line that he went back to his home planet? Or recast him?

I've put about 25 hours in and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Recently I'm finding it hard to turn it on though, it does get repetitive after a while.

Here's the real question: Will Disney take him to court for breaching his contract by refusing to return? To me that would result in bad PR for Disney...but Disney is also known for being litigious.

I'm going to start buying parts for a new pc soon. I'm only going to be using a 1080p monitor so I'm not really interested in all the new stuff. Would a 1070ti suffice or is it worth trying to get a good deal on a 1080ti?

 

Edit: just saw the answer to this exact question in another thread. 

Yeah even a 1070 is overkill for 1080p at 60hz, I would think.

I am looking forward to it obviously (it is Bioware) however I am really worried they are going to fuck it up, like Destiny, where the game lacks any soul and it comes across as a marketing driven game in a lot of ways, sanitized and not much fun at the end of the day.  

 

Hope it doesn't suck, because graphically it looks awesome but that doesn't mean fuck all these days.

I feel the same way, it seems kind of generic and "cool."

“The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great.”

Haha, sure.

Welp, just proposed and got engaged!

I have a Corsair something-or-other (the one with the red WASD optional keys) and I love it.

Honestly I don't ever see myself buying another American car in my life anyway (though I like my Focus well enough). Honda or Toyota are so much better deals long-term finally. Buy a 2-year old Honda, drive it for 3 years, and then sell it, and repeat. Way less money and way more reliability than buying new and paying it off for 6 years.
