Hey, Noah! Glad to hear the feeling’s mutual; I’ll definitely be catching up on your other videos when I have time. Read more

Yeah, that tracks for me, too; it ain't cheating unless it's an actual glitch in the game. I actually used gravestones to beat Father Gas, because I pretty quickly figured out that if I kept them between me and him, his ranged attack wouldn't hit me. I think that's on purpose—why else would there be so many patches of… Read more

Ah, yeah - sorry, someone else got copied in there under your story. Thanks! Read more

That's actually something I'd forgotten about this screenshot until I posted it. Womp, womp.

They're pretty different. 6 party members in Pillars to 4 in Divinity original sin. Way more writing in Pillars, and more narrative commitment to the characters and world, where Divinity is a lot more tongue-in-cheek. Way more items to mess with and steal in Divinity, much fewer things you can interact with in a given… Read more

The whole opening of the album is just... it's very good. Read more

A lot of their new stuff does very little for me. Which sucks to say, partly because it's a drag when a band you like stops making music you like, and partly because it's such an annoying thing to be all, like, "Their older stuff was way better." Read more

It may not be a popular opinion, but it's a hard one to argue with. Read more

A good general rule for life, really. Read more

Yeah! I've been listening to the GTA V soundtrack while I work lately, and it stands on its own in a way distinct from the other games in the series. Some amazing stuff on there. Read more

Stray observation: Far Cry 4 does "exploded vehicle flying through the air" better than pretty much any other game.

At certain points you have to trigger the night to advance the story. You could theoretically clear almost all of the sidequests on the second day, though, which would unlock a bunch of defensive upgrades and make subsequent night missions easier to deal with. Read more

Hey, thanks! Read more

Amazing, right? The UbiArt Framework in action. Read more

Nah, you'd have to find it first. Read more

It's funny - you have to gather furs, but you do it by opening crates. Which you kinda just find lying around. So you open a crate and get four rhino skins, and four honey badger pelts. And then another one has bear skins. Before you know it, you're able to craft a whole ton of different things, with no hunting. It's… Read more

Currently, i7 4770k OC'd, with a 970—that was my most recent upgrade, trading up/laterally from SLI 770s. It can blow the doors off of juuuust about anything, at least at 1080p. Read more

I sure didn't care for it. And yet, it's still a great go-to Graphics Game! Go figure. Read more

Yeah, Arkham Origins is another good one for me. That game looks awfully good with everything cranked up! Read more

I don't use Unity to judge new PC hardware, mostly because that game's performance is so all over the place. I always wind up feeling let down! Read more
