System Wars Lounge v52: Happy 2015 Edition!!!

Smash Bros, DKCTF, MH3U, and probably picking up Captain Toad sometime this week. Too many Wii-U games.

Half a bottle will be my minimum.

You say that like it's supposed to be hard >.>

@ChubbyGuy40: Can I sell you my mint copy of Wind Waker

Some of the noteworthy cringe of 2014. Holy crap.

You tease. :P

Looking forward to a few different beers on New Years. Here's some of what's in my fridge atm and that I'll be drinking :)

@blue_hazy_basic:

I'm going with my tried and true Blue Moon with a slice of orange :P

You corporate slave! :P

@blue_hazy_basic: The only I know for sure I'll drink are a few glasses of this:

It's Portuguese Champagne basically, but here the official name is "Espumante" (Sparkling).

On one hand they're cheaper than well known international brands (like french Champagne for example) and on the other they've been brutally humiliating said brands at the international wine contents and such (spoilers)! :D

Besides this, I have no idea what I'll drink :P I'll just go wherever the night takes me I guess XD

I'd like to try that chocolate stout though. Probably not great, but it is quite a curious flavour for a beer!

@Desmonic: Haven't had Espumante in ages (although I'm sure i had some cheap brand, those look well fancier!). The Sam Smith's choc stout is an English beer and its the dog's bollocks. Would highly recommend and you shouldn't have a problem finding it. Easy drinking sweet stout.

@blue_hazy_basic: They look fancy, but they don't cost you a car for a box of 6 hehe :P

Does it really taste of chocolate tough? XD

That is true. Lostrib actually contributes a lot.

@Desmonic: Yea the aftertaste has a really strong chocolate taste

Charizard who?

@blue_hazy_basic: Getting drunk with chocolate. That must be quite the epic hangover! :D

I was drinking it early on and it's so delicious. :P

New Year's Resolution.

Finish that darn PC.

Pieces I have so far.

1. Sentey Optimus Extreme Division Tower Case (ATX Mid Tower)
2. MSI Z97S SLI Plus

Pieces I plan on ordering.

1. Intel Core i5-4690k
2. Corsair Vengence 8gb (x2)
3. Deepcool Gammax 400 cpu cooler
4. Samsung 120 gb SSD
5. EVGA GeForce GTX 970
6. WD green 4 TB HDD
7. Pioneer BluRay Disc Drive
8. EVGA SuperNova 650w PSU

After everything is said and done I would have spent nearly $1300 on this computer....good thing I'm not buying all at once.

Happy New Year.............with more and better games.

WiiU.....lololololololololololololololol

@AtariKidX: You need a Wii U. Lack of games hurt

Persona 4 Golden is to PlayStation Vita, what Superman 64 was to the Nintendo 64.

PonchoTaco is to System Wars what Superman 64 was to the Nintendo 64.

Easy there bro. Thin ice, mighty thin ice....

:P

Dragon Age Inquisition is on sale, and since I beat Shadow of Mordor I felt like I'd be okay picking it up.

Haven't quite decided what to play as but I suppose I'll figure that out when I start it up. :p

Who is this PanchoTaco?

@PonchoTaco:

That typo is going to bother the ever living shit out of me. :(

@Zassimick: From experience on previous DA games Rogue(DA:O) or Mage (DA:O & DA 2)e were the "easiest" since they were so overly OP :P

Not sure if it's more balanced this time around though.

Just heard from Tara Strong that Christine Cavanaugh (Rugrats, Dexter's Laboratory) died, and according to this just a few days before Christmas. RIP. :(

I remember in the last lounge that someone didn't like the Asami and Korra pairing. I admit I never watched Korra (I plan to though, but not for that), but finding out that Nickelodeon ALLOWED that to happen:

Usually, it's Cartoon Network that pushes it with their cartoons (Total Drama, Adventure Time, Billy and Mandy), but Nick? Damn.

Can't seem to reserve anything on futureshop's canada or bestbuy canada's site.The reserve screen takes ages to load/

Speaking of Korra I'm finally watching that :) Season 2. Liking it so far, though the voice acting leaves something to be desired.... it's either spot on or way, way too "kiddy" for the type of show it is (or tries to be).

@Xaero_Gravity: and now I have eternalized that typo by quoting you. He he >:)

Okay tried to put covers on my bed after wrestling with the blanket to get it inside the covers and celebrating my victory over such staunch resistance I came to realize the covers were inside out.

i dont think i like halo 5. the movement is cool but it feels a game made for those asshole who actually like SWAT. you die way too fast and something about the aiming feels off.

@mems_1224: Well, that's what Beta's are for! :) Especially since the actual game is likely almost a year off. If the community speaks now the devs still have some decent time to make adjustments.

Oi, @Zassimick, could you get me a sig mixing my old avy (below) and a some FF15 hype? :P

Gotta go meta on that hype! :D

It honestly doesn't feel all that fluid.

All the speed stuff is cool, like strafing, and that hover move for outplaying dudes in a BR dance. But the clambor is fucking clunky and awkward. I get they wanted to maintain an element of console skill (needs a qualifier for obvious elitist reasons), but Titanfall that shit is nice and fluid. In Halo it just feels dumb. Crouch jumping was at least like okay, if you can't make it, you work around it because you yourself can't pull it off. Clambor just feels inconsistent in comparison.

Also think the controls just aren't as sharp. Part of it is I personally had to adjust as I'm working against Halo muscle memory at this point, but the other part is the other control options fucking SUCK. A for sprint is on one of them, bumper jumper sucks. Just give me the ability to pick my button placement.

Also the automatic rifles are finally not shit, which is cool. But, the smg is a fucking monster, and the autorifle takes away from the genuine br dance. Also don't see why the **** there is a BR/DMR...like why are both of them here? pick one and move on. Also the ADS is gross as **** on those guns. It works with the assault rifle/smg/pistol because they feel like zooms. But the DMR and BR scoping just feels awkward, and cumbersome. Makes me not want to zoom n shoot.

Overall I don't dislike it, it's like a massive improvement over Halo 4, and i don't see it boring me like Halo 3 did. But compared to what Halo 2 Anniversary feels like, and that game from a movement standpoint is old, stale, and slow, but the overall game just feels more fun in general. Also kill cams is lame.

Titanfall has ruined fast paced shooters for me. the gameplay is so fucking good and fun in that game.

I like the console skill ceiling for Halo 5, the toned down aim assist, all the quickness, the map designs so far (nothing is ever going to be Lockout, Ivory Tower, Headlong territory of memorable, but I can live with that). Hopefully Certain Affinity gets to make some maps for the game, as that max dude usually makes good asymmetrical maps, or at the least maps with some genuine uniqueness to them.

It just needs to be tighter, or even drop clambor. Flinch is gone, that's guaranteed. And honestly the ADS needs to become a standard zoom for br/dmr.

@commonfate:

Oh, so you think Mog plus Big Boss is bad ass?

Because it is.

I almost made my Freedom Wars Sinner look like Big Boss but cosplay is gross

@Desmonic: I'll see what I can do tonight! I'm working on one for @StrifeDelivery first, probably would be good to sit myself down and finish it! :P

On the subject of New Year's resolutions (despite always giving up on them about two months into the year)...

Be happier. Chat more with the lovely @Toph_Girl250 :P and maybe do something productive with my time.

I'll probably fail at two of those. (If not all...)

System Wars romance, so cute.

@Xaero_Gravity: Rei is the worst character ever. Anyone who appreciates Persona Q's writing is terrible.

@Zassimick: You have time dude :P There's no rush. FF15 isn't coming out anytime soon haha

@freedomfreak Dude. Why. >.>

French Frie Museum.

2 years of training for french fries "chefs".

French Fries with EVERYTHING.

Why. Why do you ruin your beer with all this nonsense bro? >.>

@Desmonic: You mean after all these years it's not coming out on the eve of the New Year?!?!?
