It's always struck me as weird that you can make it all the way through calc III, so potentially like a year or three semesters into college, before getting exposed to what you'll actually be doing as a math major.

Calc 3 was probably the first class where there were hints of actual math and I loved it. Probably my favorite undergrad math course.

I then promptly took no more "official" math courses mainly because of scheduling. But naturally, I've learned a lot of real math after that.

Math is taught terribly. That's not a knock on the recent changes in method. I think those are actually for the better. Just across the board its taught in the most soul sucking way. They teach you how to be a computer rather than how to do math. They are not the same thing.

Incidentally, I regularly programmed my TI-83 to solve math problems so that I didn't have to in HS. That's the point of the computer. Actual math is far more interesting.

I don't especially care for her music, but for the amount of fame she has, she seems unusually level headed and smart. So I have no problems with this.

After I masochistically finished RDR2 when it came out, I then started God War (2018). I nearly cried tears of joy at the substantially better controls that I was immediately able to use to do what I wanted.

Would RDR2 be better played with keyboard and mouse? 

Well, at least it would take unique well thought out plans to make it control worse  

Halo is not the cause of the current state of FPS shooters. Halo's style itself is overshadowed by the current trends and is hard to find.

I fully intend to buy this on day one and be moderately entertained.

Halo was a very good game, however I don't really understand putting it on a pedestal.  There were other great shooters before it (i.e. Half Life, Quake 3, etc.) that, on the whole, were better games.  They DID figure out how to finally get decent FPS controls on a controller -- but those controls are still far inferior to KB/Mouse.

Not everything is for everyone. But Halo was and remains an amazing game. I played a lot of  PC shooters back then too: The *original* (as in Quake 1) TF, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Tribes, etc. More story driven "first person" games like Deus Ex were also one of my favorite games of the time. (Deus Ex still ranks really high for me). Halo still stole my and my friends time more than any other shooter at the time though.

I dunno Alan Wake seems to be winning a lot of the GotY

Have there been that many? I only know of the Golden Joystick awards and BG3 won it and swept many of the other awards.

I litteraly cannot afford that because I'm currently -$65 in my bank account. I get a paycheck this Friday that will all dissappear for things I  heed to pay. I'm jobless with no money lol. 

DM me your email. I'll send you an Amazon E-gift card you can use to rent it.

I see, a "we promise it's not dead!" "trailer"

I don't have that. Is it a good idea to go straight to the second one?

No! Do not watch the second before the first.

For $4 you can rent the first from amazon:

I see one of the Spider-verse movies is available on Netflix. I might have to watch this today. I don't like the art style though. I know I'm weird. 

Um. Yes. You need to watch both.

I am but idkkkkkk they are so different in their aim it would be tough to compare unless Insomniac did a multiverse take 

I will settle for you at least not putting those movies lower  When all is said and done those movies will probably be my favorite super hero movie series.

Honestly, I'm kind of glad I didn't finish my run after Phantom Liberty, because now I still have stuff to do with 2.1.

Insomniac Spider-Man >>> all of the movies just from a story standpoint alone 

I assume you'e excluding Into the Spider-verse movies in that statement, right. RIGHT?!?  

(But the games stories are really good)

I was 30 last year. This year I am 31 lol.

 

No wizard powers at  31 either.

Lol I missed the time stamp of this thread. Well, 31 is still good and in that range!  

Happy birthday! 30 is a great age IMO because you're not yet old, but old enough to stop being seen as a kid.

I played through the end/epilogue again. Much more fitting close. This resolves my main criticism.

Also, they seem to be implying in it that they will be releasing either future games or expansions for this cast of characters.

OOT

Metal Gear Solid 

Half Life

Star Craft 

Baldur's Gate 

Grim Fandango 

Unreal 

RE 2

Banjo Kazooie 

Tekken 3 

Xenogears 

Panzer Dragoon Saga 

NFL Blitz 

Gran Turismo 

Parasite Eve 

 

Fair or not, if you take out the remakes this year, I think 1998 has it beat overall. So many of those games were pillars and sort of still are of the entire industry. 

You missed the most important one: Myth 2: Soulblighter!

Motorcycles were already the correct way to get around in the game. This is insulting to cars at this point.

It's fucking Baldur's Gate 3. 

It's the most game that ever gamed. It's the game pitch that every nerd would talk about making but never could and would never have the budget to do. But Swen fucking did it. The mad man in armor did it.

The only possible criticism I could raise was it ends somewhat abruptly after everything is said and done. But they just released a giant patch with a massive epilogue (that I will be playing this weekend), so I guess that's not going to be a criticism after all.

Also, they added penis physics.

It's BG3.

TotK was excellent though, and SM2 has the most fun traversal out there.
