Gaming / What the hell is wrong with PC games these days
« on: March 02, 2011, 08:33:52 PM »
I just bought my first PC game in quite a while, and the experience was absolutely atrocious. The game I bought was Bulletstorm, it looked pretty cool and I wanted to shoot things in a game that wasn't call of duty rehash #47. I bought the game through Steam which I thought meant it would use steam for all of its online stuff. Apparently Microsoft has been attempting to smear its xbox live feces all over PC games these days too, but I basically just wanted to play the single player game for now so I didn't really care or want to deal with it. When you start the game it tells you that you need to sign in to play online, and I told it to go away because I didn't want to play online. Apparently whoever writes their messages is retarded because it won't let you play at all unless you sign in, and just kicks you back to the log in screen. Now I have to create an account for yet another stupid service, but whatever, I paid for the game and want to play it. Now I have an account and want to sign in, but no! I can't sign in because games for windows live is not up to date. It downloads the update and tells me to restart the game. You can't restart the fucking game because you can't even get to the main menu without being logged in. There is no natural or obvious way to close the game, alt+f4 didn't even work, so I used the task manager to kill the process. After the game was closed the games for windows live update stuff popped up, and I say it can update, and now it is installing some more stupid shit on my computer. Really, you don't need to install a system service so I can sign in to your third party piece of garbage online service so I can play a fucking single player game.
I haven't even played the game yet because I was so angry I had to find somewhere to complain about it. I've basically been held hostage by WoW for about 6 years so I didn't realize how much everything has turned to absolute shit in the mean time. I keep hearing about ridiculous DRM breaking stuff, is this shit really so common in PC games these days? It is completely unfathomable to me that a developer would release a product in this state. What would someone who doesn't know shit about computers do when it tries to update and they can't get out of the game?

Go fuck yourself. It is obvious that you are not going to stop pushing your Real ID bullshit. Keep your social networking garbage the fuck out of my video games. You can take SC2, cataclysm, and diablo 3 and shove them, because I am done with you.

Academic / School / Student loans
« on: August 11, 2009, 05:09:41 PM »
I'm in a pretty shitty situation right now, I got accepted to my school for this fall really late (mid/end of june) and they didn't have my information from the federal aid thing. I had done it at the beginning of the year for the school I was at before I even applied to this one, and was stupid and forgot to add the new school until later. What it looks like right now is I'm not going to be able to get any delicious moneys by the time I need for the school to not get angry at me, and am probably going to have to take out way more money in a crappy loan than I was expecting. Does anyone who has done this have any advice on what to look for, what to stay away from? I need to do this soon but I don't want to get fucked in the process. I really wanted to avoid this but there is no way I can afford it otherwise. I have about $900 in the bank, and that is more than either of my parents. And I'm looking at a bill of ~$18k

Has anyone else played this at all? I've been playing the past couple days after finally getting the chinese version installed. Getting the game installed was kind of a pain but I wanted to try it without preordering it/dealing with the retarded way they are doing the US beta and the game is already live in china (and there are lots of English speaking people playing, especially on certain servers)
I've actually been having a lot of fun with it. Certain aspects are fairly derivative of WoW (no way!) but it is different enough to be a refreshing break. The first couple levels are slow but it starts to speed up, and at like level 10 you sprout fucking wings (for some reason I didn't pay attention to/don't care about). Flying feels a little clunky but I think I just need to get used to it, and you can glide in zones where you aren't allowed to fly as long as the area slopes downward slightly, its a lot of fun and speeds up travel time a bunch. And just killing stuff is pretty fun with the combo moves, and having lots of abilities in general even at the lowish levels my characters are (10-15).
On the bad side, the UI sucks. It is 'pretty' I guess but it is awful at doing what it should do: give you information you need without having to look in 23 different places on your screen. Also professions look extremely boring. While they can make some of the best items in the game at the moment, they are a blatant timesink. You don't even need to gather materials to do it, you just talk to the trainer who gives you progressively harder "work orders" as you skill up, that provide the base materials you need. Then all you have to do is walk 2 feet to the vendor near him and buy some cheap reagents, then walk 2 more feet to the anvil or stove or whatever your profession needs, then you click "craft all" and then go back to watching TV for 20 minutes.
I doubt it is something I will buy when it goes live here unless a large number of my friends decide to play, but its fun for now and since all these game in china are paid for hourly it is cheap to play just when I want. In the end I'm out just under $4 that I spent on a block of 40 hours of playtime (there is no initial game/account setup cost) and a couple hours of following guides and google translating chinese webpages to make the damn game work in the first place.

General Discussion / Help with windows activation!
« on: March 28, 2009, 07:56:50 PM »
I'm not really looking to crack it but it seems like that might be the easier option at this point. After changing my motherboard and CPU I need to reactivate windows but I've used up all my activations. Easy right, just call up microsoft. But what installation ID am I supposed to give them exactly? I'd rather not spend 3 hours on the phone with someone who can barely speak English, does anyone know if there is any way to get that ID to appear or am I outta luck?

General Discussion / Fun With Google Suggestions

I have no idea why I thought this was so funny, but it is probably just because I am really tired.
Anyways, I bring to all of you, stereotypes according to Google:
That's all I could think of that had suggestions. time to go pass out

General Discussion / is it you?
« on: October 27, 2008, 06:10:44 PM »Issue
Over 10,000 college students commit suicide each year in the United States.
The leading cause of suicide is known to be depression.
Such internal issues including depression, despair, frustration, and stress from
rigorous academic schedule and uncertain future after graduation
are expressed outwardly via divorce, family problems, hatred, anger, death,
insomnia, nightmare, seizure, oppression, auditory/visual hallucination,
unknown or incurable disease, homosexuality, desperate financial problem...
These issues are not an exception for your life and your school.
Cause
The fundamental cause of these problems is that
the mankind is separated from God.
The mankind lost the direction of life,
suffer from sin and curse,
live under the influence of Satan.
As a result, the mankind is subject to diverse types of issues in life.
Some say that is how the human life is meant to be.
However, the mankind is created to be happy and
enjoy the life God has provided.
Solution
There is a way.
God sent us Jesus Christ as the way to meet God, as the way of our life,
as the resolution to the sin, death, and curses to which we are subject , and
as the King of kings to crush Satan's power.
If you accept this Jesus Christ into your heart,
You will become God's child and will be able to live a purpose-driven life.
We are searching for people with this confession and/or
with the heart to help friends/neighbors suffering from the above conditions.
is it you?

Is it just me, or does the internet feel slow today...? Damn you world of warcraft!
Time to rebuild my beautiful yet horribly cluttered ui. I never quite finished making it perfect so maybe now is a good time to fix some of the things that bugged me
Or, well, whenever my server comes up QQ

Trash Can / Re: Ladies have to cut back on expensive food items because they don't have jobs
« on: July 29, 2008, 12:20:32 AM »you're really a fucking retard manI eat at various organic restaurants around here, generally a couple times a week, and they typically run me about $10/meal. That definitely isn't "RETARDEDLY expensive".
That's your fault. Eating at home is WAY cheaper than eating out. If they were to cook instead of be lazy slobs then those MASSIVE women might not fail at life.
