Fuck man, I was wanting to replace my 1st Gen Ipad for a new Tablet to use for traveling/work and be portable for ages now. Yes, I can buy a laptop for the price but i've already have a high end PC and tablets are much more portable and less of a hassle.

I could be playing fucking Skyrim on a tablet on my lunchbreak. That shit is so tight.

EDIT:
Goddamn.

When I have the money I want to build a proper desktop and buy a good tablet. I wouldn't really need a laptop then

goddamn this shit is addictive

Dude, there's an arcade near me that has a FOUR PLAYER DAYTONA USA SETUP. I didn't have any money on me at the time, but I almost started worshiping it. The music in it is SO GOOD

Okay so I finally finished the main quest of Skyrim (yes, 2 years after it came out. That's how I roll).

Alduin was the most disappointing final boss ever. The dungeon leading up to him was at least 3-4 times harder, to the point that I was worried I might be underlevelled. That notion got dashed when I killed Alduin in 60 seconds. With a score of 51 in one-handed using Dragonsbane.

Nuclear Throne


Motherfucking awesome roguelike shooter

Interesting...I fully support any roguelikes that don't use fucking ASCII graphics. Or more buttons than most flight sims.

[Achtane]

Alright, Nuclear Throne IS awesome. What are the HUD icons though? I get that the radiation thing is EXP, but what's up with the lightning bolt/bomb/arrow/shell? And are there any fancy controls I'm not aware of?
Edit: nevermind, they're meters for each ammo type, lulz.

I like Melting but you gotta get lucky and get the +4 HP perk or you're fucked. That crystal shield dude is my second favorite. I'd like the plant more if firing a seed wouldn't make the camera lock onto it...if you fire it into the distance during a battle, the camera makes it difficult.

I prefer my roguelikes in ascii. I play fast and animations slow everything down, and ascii (when used correctly) relays the information I need succinctly. Dwarf Fortress hurts to look at sometimes, though.

I need to get Skyrim again. I was way into it and then fell off before I finished the main quest, as well.

In other news, Dark Souls is $4.99 digital download next Monday on xbox live. If anyone was interested in getting it, that'd definitely be the time.

[Achtane]

I'm so jealous of Dark Souls console players; the population's already higher and less hack-prone than the PC version, and now you get an influx of clueless newbies? Cmon!

[LOCOPELAND]

get an xbox. they'z cheap(er) now.

Crystal lady is pretty good, so is Steroids. Never used melting, but I love his breathing animation from around the camp fire haha.

I've used fish because he's the most balanced IMO and YV becase he looks like a rejected eraserhead character, or the little brother of pyramid head.

Trying to play GW2, I was pretty disappointed but after downloading a massive patch about the size of an entire video game and finding that my characters thatI made day one had a 1 year birthday present. Inside was this item that instantly levels a character to lv20.

So I'm back.
