Random Gaming Thoughts

I think I fucked up, y'all. I let my GF download Sims 4 to play on my rig. I may not get the machine back.

Back to returning as darsparx's coach for FF1 completion then I guess?

"Are you quitting on me? Well, are you? Then quit, you slimy fucking walrus-looking piece of shit! Get the fuck off of my obstacle! Get the fuck down off of my obstacle! NOW! MOVE IT! Or I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world! I will motivate you, Private Pyle, IF IT SHORT-DICKS EVERY CANNIBAL ON THE CONGO!"

In response to any seemingly insurmountable problem in FF.


So far my problem with killing Psychopaths with melee weapons is dying too quickly because I don't have the life/learned skills to avoid attacks.

I should've known you'd of gotten on his side for making sure I was getting through it...at least i can admit this: I've made it further than I ever have before

Scratch what I said- the thing pissing me off in DR is the guys in the humvee. They respawn, whatever. But when I have to bring pretty much every survivor in the game through there with me, its aggravating. I usually can't get their attention when I'm running by myself and try to kill them.

I completed it on the GBA last year. I don't have to be told.

I had this weird thought today about building a custom retro console out of a system on a chip and building custom retro style games for it.

Mostly for fun.

Croooono! You have far more important projects to concern yourself with!

Yeah we never sat down and talked about that. It might take a lot longer than I originally thought. Things are going very slowly for multiple reasons.

Anyway, it was an idea for the future.

YEah soon I'll beat it I hope....it's interesting playing it now that I'm a little older because you can kinda see where rpg's came from and how they've progressed(and honestly I perfer some of the rpgs from the snes era and later with the better story mechanics and cutscenes which might be unpopular but whatever). I'm still playing but the earth cave is a pain because I keep getting lost and probably misusing the magic and run out on the black magic... *sigh*

I read the benchmarks on the newly released GeForce GTX 970 and 980 cards last night. Geez, talk about ridiculously awesome performance.

The 970 is outperforming the 780 in most benchmarks (I only saw one where the 780 did better). It's playable at 4K resolutions in the 25-30fps range. And it's $330, making it cheaper than the 770.

Some initial user videos (Hopefully they're accurate) are showing stuff like Crysis 3 running at 1440p on Ultra settings with TXAA on getting 75-80fps (Though everyone's numbers seem to differ by quite a bit.)

In benchmarks this card is even hitting 50-60 fps for Metro Last Light.

And the power consumption is at the same level as the GTX 500 series, it seems.

I know what I want for Christmas. Crazy.

Is it really outperforming the 780? Was already looking forward to it but now I am even more. Time to sell off my R9 270 I suppose.
