playing a lot of street fighter 4 lately mostly because I met some people at my school who play.

I wish arcades and game centers were still big in north america :|

If they think these tactics are going to stop Fat Princess from being the goto-esports game they are in for a rude awakening.

I"m not particularly a fan of westerns but I think Red Dead Redemption may have been my favorite Rockstar game. I actually cared about the story. Especially the latter half.

RDR and bully are my fave rockstar games.

red dead revolver had the best soundtrack tho and is the best (and i guess only) purely spaghetti western themed game. redemption is more like a pastiche of the entire genre which is still cool, but i dont care for american westerns

Ah yeah Bully was great. Never got a chance to finish it, lent it to a friend then he got robbed. I'll have to pick it up again.

Borrowed Red Dead Redemption from a friend and played for an hour and half, and it's already my favorite open world game so far. Not sure if because I like westerns or if because I like the script, or just that the game is good. Looks like I'll end up playing it for hours after the final exams.

Also I tend to hate railroading tutorial but in red dead I've been enjoying a lot of it(which's not the first exception, Far Cry 3 first scenes were very enjoyable too, but the rest of the game was very meh besides the plot).

Is GTA V worth buying?

well Mr.Newton has now stepped down from IGM presumably in response to this issu

yeah, it's not worse than having to pretend you're friend some hipster dunces at festivals. 
 

lmaooo

Cool thanks. I think I'll try implementing this for the current project I'm starting. See how it defers to a more naked global solution.

Ah ok. Interesting. I'll have to look into that a bit more.

While we are on the topic. What are peoples opinions of XNA's way of handling services?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.game.services.aspx

In a nutshell there's a services property to the game object which you can add services to or get services from by specifying a type rather than a name (taking advantage of c#'s typeof operator).

I'm a little on the fence as to whether this decouples your code more than a singleton. It feels like a singleton you can add properties to at runtime.

I have a sun lamp because I have depression that is made worse by shorter days and I live in Canada.

Where are some places that I can get sun lamps? I'm sort of lost in finding those. 

It's sad to hear what's happening in Canada since I'm in the same boat as you. In fact, I'm taking actual anti-depressants and those imo are making me tired all the time.  (Still need to discuss with my doctor about that.) Although, about vitamin D, isn't it better to have diary products like milk instead? I don't know the exact amount of vitamin D is in most diary products compare to their capsules alternative.

I think the amount of dairy  you would have to eat to get enough vitamin D might have too much other issues such as too much sugar and fat.

 

Yeah Kurt Vonnegut is boss. I'm slowly going though everything he's written. Probably will be doing Sirens of Titan next.

Consider Vitamin D if you're in a country that has dark long winters with short days. I've read a lot of bad things about multivitamins and vitamins in general so don't usually take them, but found a middle ground with Vitamin D because I am in a country where deficiency is not uncommon during the winter months. It's not full on winter yet, but since I started taking it I have noticed a slight increase in energy. Also my crappy knees seem to have gotten better, but I'm not sure if that can be attributed to the Vitamin D. We'll see what happens when real winter comes.

Yeah it's good to note that multivitamins are crap. They tend to use all the cheap vitamins as filler then put a tiny amount of the expensive vitamins in so they can put it on the label.

Essentially what multivitamins ensure is that you will be deficient in some vitamins and will be overdosing on others.

I've heard iron deficiency can lower how much energy you have. My source is my mom who has always been fatigued and it's been linked, by doctors, to her quiet low iron deficiency.

Statistically I've heard this is far more of an issue for women. My source is an ex though so you might want to google that.



Finally for exercise you need to mix it up. You definitely need strenuous exercise like paul mentioned but also long, medium strength cardio. Like an hour of light jogging etc. Combining them helps a ton for increasing your energy reserves.

possibly, does the GLSL even take into account line breaks and carriage returns?

Yeah all I've been playing lately since it's limited. Pretty fun but stats to get boring pretty quick.

Already not many people are really picking anyone interesting, just teams they think will steamroll the game.

I did have a team of Xin's get utterly destroyed by a team of Sona's though.

I had a wriggles lantern at around 6 mins jungling with diana. The lantern works really well on her with the as proccing her passive.

yeah same for me. I tend to play LoL when I'm too tired to micro a lot of item actives.

I kind of wish they would get rid of smite in LoL with the new jungle changes. I really hate losing a summoner slot to that spell where after early game it's main purpose is for buff/dragon/nashor steals.

So many times I would much rather have exhaust on a jungler. 

^^^ How to get me to try a game : Tell me it's like star control

Just finished the original Quake. Been more than 10 years since I've played this and remembered almost nothing... Damn that's some awesome level design :O

The game manages to be fast paced and full of action while still giving you freedom and making  you feel that need to explore the map like DOOM does. I think it's the best FPS campaign I've ever played 

Games now just don't know how to give be fast paced without holding your hand and taking you through a straight corridor. It's sad really.

Yup, FPS games were better in 1999 then they are now.

I'm loving Diana, bought her without trying her and no regrets. Great to have an AP assassin that can jungle.
