    Sixaxis was only ignored because it took 8 years for console FPSes to implement lean :arms:
  2. Stigmata

    Xbox One

    Library quality aside: - X1 controller has a better form factor, as usual (though it lacks the tilt sensor and touchpad-button of the Dualshock4) - PS4 has a superior GPU (~1.23 vs ~1.84 TFLOPs, 768 cores vs 1152) - X1 lacks true cache coherence; not a huge thing by itself but another knock...

    Don't be sorry, being sorry is for nerds. You're not a nerd, are you?

    Steam Parental Control Plans Leaked Via Bug

    What kind of responsible parent lets kids play racing games full of realistic, deadly crashes, yet keeps their kid from being properly educated about sex toys and the concept of the fourth wall?

    how's it going, what's up in your life, and who are all these people

    It's literally not even a 1BR. My bed is less than 3ft from the door to my apartment. My "bedroom" is the half of the living room sitting to the left of the bathroom, the other half has my PC + desk + couch + cat tower. That said, my heat is water-based, and the building's rent includes water...

    how's it going, what's up in your life, and who are all these people

    [censored], I pay $775 inclusive-minus-electricity per month for rent, in Toronto of all places, and a really good location to boot. Shop around. I find that a lot of difficulties in finding a place to live come down to a lack of effort. I got my place by talking face to face with the landlord...

    how's it going, what's up in your life, and who are all these people

    To be fair my place is kind of a shithole in ways. It's not even 1BR, it's just a bachelor with a livingroom bathroom and kitchen, and the overbearing building-wide water heating is physically impossible to turn off once it gets toggled on Sept 1st. I hope to find a bigger place in the next 4...

    how's it going, what's up in your life, and who are all these people

    Posting in this thread makes me feel awkward for a number of reasons that are probably known to more people than I expect, but I'm glad you're doing well for yourself Sulk. Shit's been bad for me the past five years or so, but now that I've been living on my own for eight months, it's all...

    UPDATED: Half-Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Source 2 + Much More Found on Valve Project Tracker

    At this point it's basically a genocide of gamers' hopes and dreams. Shame on you, Gaben.

    PS4 Thread (+PS3)

    I'm confident it'll be either the 21st or the 25th. At E3, Tretton (I think) defined the "holiday season" that PS4 would be out for as "October, November, and December", and they don't seem to have had any yield issues since then. Personally I'm most excited to see what Killzone's multiplayer...

    GFWL will be shutting down on July the first, 2014

    To be replaced by OneLive in early November. Seriously though this took way too ****ing long. Bunch of buggy bloatware.

    Audiophiles, assemble! I'm looking at the Sennheiser HD598.

    But the product description specifically states it's a DAC. I must be missing something about how these things actually function. Anyway I don't need anything external per se, and I might upgrade to some higher-impedance headphones in the future, so I feel like a Claro Halo suits my needs...

    Audiophiles, assemble! I'm looking at the Sennheiser HD598.

    Oh yeah, I only ask because it's a sound card with an integrated headphone amp (with selectable impedance), and it's $180 on Newegg. Sounds like the drivers and support are much better of other soundcards too, which is nice. It's one or the other, this or a DAC will do the trick.

    Audiophiles, assemble! I'm looking at the Sennheiser HD598.

    That DAC is running $155 on amazon.ca for some reason which makes me sad, but it's not that much of an increase. And I do need an amp, so I'll keep it in mind. Speaking of, does anyone have an opinion on the HT Omega Claro series? I have an anti-hardon for Creative these days, and I feel...

    Audiophiles, assemble! I'm looking at the Sennheiser HD598.

    In my defense, I don't need an integrated mic, I was drunk when I made the thread and I don't know why I mentioned a mic or used the word "headset".

    Audiophiles, assemble! I'm looking at the Sennheiser HD598.

    It seems like it's a nice middle-ground between good build quality and good sound quality. I'm totally okay with, and actually prefer, open-ear designs when in public, and in private it lets me hear my kittens if they need anything. Are there better alternatives within open-cup designs for the...

    Holy shit. Good thing the fire didn't spread to anything else. That really sucks though. Did you have your data backed up?

    PS4 Vs. Xbox One

    Preordered my PS4 about seven weeks ago. Mandatory Kinect = Mandatory Avoidance. Plus PS4 has OctoDad.
