I started playing Fortnite for the first time tonight. It's alright. Still like PUBG better right now but I'll give it a good chance to change my mind. I feel like the learning curve is greater with Fortnight with all of the structure building and whatnot.

One call of duty on the 360 was the end of the two of us playing call of duty togeather and the last call of duty i played until ww2 came out. We played for 2 hours online and neither of us could get above 9 kills. We tried again days later, with similar luck. Both times there was no "hey man, gotta go, i'll see you later" it was more "$@#*, #$#$#, )$@#)($#, stupid )#$%R()ing (#*# followed by a controller hitting a wall and a rage quit. We tried again a few more times, on our own, neither faired much better. We both swore off Call of Duty after that.

I'm 100% with you on this one. I don't know which CoD it was, but it was one or two games after Modern Warfare 2 where I had the same issue. I felt like I played MW2 online pretty well, but that next game I couldn't get more than a kill or two a game at most. I think the upgrades you get as you leveled your player online gave those guys an unfair advantage and I just couldn't compete early on. Wonder if it was Black Ops 1 or 2. I dunno. I feel ya though.

My worst online experiences were basically any Command & Conquer during and after Generals/Zero Hour. Their servers had this stupid mismatching glitch that would happen every 2-3 games (especially extended games) that would end the game and kick out all the players. Zero Hour was so fun and it was a shame the server made it so unplayable.

I just want to know if I can still use my $10.00 gift certificate to EGA

Typical BV, scamming people. I remember he offered like $30 for me to trade in Star Wars: Rogue Leader for Gamecube and when I sent it to him he would only give me like, $5.

^ What does that even mean?  XD
lol... I knew I Would get the what does this even mean.  I couldn't get the idea out on paper.
Was actually referring to @mastermario 's gif post.  xD 

Before BV posted all of the content in his OP, he created this as a placeholder thread with his OP saying only something like "This is a shell topic. More info to come."  So I posted Mario with a shell. :)

and launch you across the map? LOL!   Ah.... that would be funny to see.

Well, no denying that haha. But it could be a huge pain in the ass when you were actually playing/looting well lol.

Naw, shotgun event mode was pretty cool but the events are only up for one week at a time. It took them a couple of days just to sort out the fact that they forgot to put any healing in the mode.

Just had leftover Pizza Hut. Nommm

Just waiting for the new 4x4 map that is currently being tested.

Currently, the shotgun event mode is only in Miramar which also sucks.

vehicle launching?  lol - I must've missed that.

Because you don't play. :) It's been a problem for a month or so, particularly with the 3-person motorcycle. If you got near full speed, even on a flat surface, it would randomly launch you across the map which kills you.

The spectator cam is a good idea!  though.. spectating team mates is good too lol

Well, you can't spectate the other team until all of your teammates die so you don't gain that extra advantage.
#222
Downloaded PUBG Mobile. Pretty fun as well. I feel better at it than I think I am because I think they add several bots into your early rounds, but it's very similar to the actual game.

We should play @BLUEVOODU

I just can't get into Star wars no matter what I do. I've seen episodes 1-3 and like bits and pieces of the original trilogy but haven't seen any of the recent movies.

Well, there's your problem haha. The original trilogy is TONS better than episodes 1-3. Give them another shot. :)
#224
New update last night. They (finally) fixed the random vehicle launching and there's now a Spectator Cam where you can watch the person that killed you after you die and then the person that kills them, etc.

Wow, these are really good! Nice job.  :)

Regarding the pokeball, that's also really cool! I can't tell, did you fill it with something?  I don't want to undersell it because it's really good work...maybe $20-25?
#226
Are these supposed to be game purchases? Because I just bought some hair gel from Amazon today haha.

Game-wise...last purchase was probably Dying Light I think.

Work is going to be killer the next few days due to projects.

I'm calling your bluff. I'm positive that you've been working on the same work projects for 10 years now. My guess is that you are repeatedly installing Windows 10 on the same machine over and over and then reverting back to XP.

Love them both, but gotta go with Star Wars. Love the concept of the Jedi and the Force. And lightsabers are badass. And the expanded universe is very interesting also.

I also enjoy the recent Star Trek movies, but I'm super pissed off that the new Star Trek show is only available on CBS's shitty streaming service. There's no chance in hell I'd ever pay for that.
#229
Haha yeah, I've read that before. Pretty funny.
#230
@BLUEVOODU Yes, works for me now as well. Should have trusted me the first time. :)
#231
I think, before it's too late, some of these department stores should join forces to create some kind of HH Gregg/Sears/Toys R Us/Circuit City/Kmart mega-stores. It's the only way that Wal-mart would really ever going to have competition in the department store business. Each of those specializes in various products so take the best/cheapest of each and put it all in one place.

I'm sure it would never work, but would be cool to do haha.
#232
I've been watching the new series but I agree that it's definitely not as good. I'll keep watching though haha.

Regarding the OP, I think the sighting is interesting and cool the way it went down. Two separate crews seeing the same object that neither can identify. I'm sure it's a balloon or drone or something else explainable, but interesting nonetheless.
#233
I'm sure I'll be able to think of others, but the first game that comes to mind was the original Donkey Kong Country on SNES. Outside of Super Mario, that was really one of the first long games I was able to play through and beat as a kid. But the joy of beating King K Rool and watching the end-game credits followed by the sheer terror of realizing it wasn't over followed by more joy has a special place for me.
#234
Jesus dude, did you read it? Lol. EA told the Wall Street Journal they were bringing it back. My guess is they are waiting until they find a way to do it that makes it reasonable and fair.
#235
It's fake news that you're saying they've fully removed it indefinitely, because they are definitely adding it back.  :P  So get playing before they do!

#236
This is #fakenews, you're about 2 months behind. They had temporarily removed microtransactions but they are going to add them back soon.

This is why I begged Spartan to get the game on Xbox with me about 3 months ago when they had removed the transactions. I've put in a good amount of time on it on the Xbone.

Quote from: BLUEVOODU on March 25, 2018, 07:28:57 PMSo when you type @bl you don't get the drop down that lists me and blastmode?  It's a small blue drop down.

Yes, I am familiar with what a drop down is.  :asdds: :-X :P :o

No, I didn't see any options for it and it's still not working. Checked Chrome and IE.
#238
@bluevoodu I don't think I'm getting the dropdown and I don't think it's working.
#239
Both vids were super cool, I had not seen them. As a fellow drummer, I really liked the 2nd one also.

If this new section means fewer new topics every time you decide to change a color or a button, I support it!
