Mass Deduction (née scrapking)'s discussions

I've got to say, that's an interesting observation. Read more

I don't get all the hate. Read more

Actually, this is the logical time to include multiplayer IMO. If this is the conclusion of the singleplayer story arc, why not have a multiplayer component for people to turn to upon finally completing the story? Read more

That was my reaction. It's a charge to upgrade to the additional content from the Collector's Edition, if you ended up wishing you'd got that instead. Seems like a reasonable proposition to me. Read more

Why would it make sense for Microsoft to do the same? Rumours have Microsoft working with mobile chip makers, which to me makes tonnes of sense: they're small, inexpensive, getting quite powerful, have huge economies of scale behind them, have extremely low power consumption, and developers are becoming quite… Read more

Christians seem to think they're doing God's work by using legal/political means of removing people's ability to sin. IMO, they simply don't get it. Read more

Hell yeah, couldn't agree more. I have a successful business already, but this is a passion I'd love to add as a sideline. Read more

I had (and still have) a couple of Dreamcasts, and I did not have (but was aware of) the NGPC. What games supported this functionality?! Read more

Easy, Bizarre Creations. Read more

Well, in fact, the major publishers are making *less* money since they started setting their own prices. That was the crazy thing about that whole fight. Read more

Inner Sphere mechs aren't as good as Clan mechs, at least for the period that MechAssault is set in. Read more

I find Forge is best for fighting off a 1v1 rush by a Covenant leader. Because Forge produces heavy supply pads immediately, you can build a three of those, then build a barracks, and be churning out flamethrowers to fight off the covenant leader and his infantry as you bring up your reactors and vehicle depot.

For some reason the "after photo" link failed, which would have showed him 'stache-less. Here's another attempt.

e-ink e-readers can go for a month or two between charges with even heavy use. It only uses power when it updates the screen, there's no power use to maintain the screen's image. Read more

Putting an SSD in your Xbox 360 will not invalidate the 360's warranty, to the best of my knowledge (just any warranty on the HDD specifically, which if you no longer want to use it in the 360 isn't all that relevant). I've thought about doing it myself more than once. The newer 360s can take a 2.5" laptop drive… Read more

The after photo.

Most shocking facial hair transformation since Weird Al Yankovic shaved off his mustache.

A shame the "Free to Play" reference all but excludes a console release for the time being, I'd love to revisit it on my Xbox. But if they support the Xbox controller I might take a stab at it. And probably die a lot, but that's OK. Maybe this will finally get me to try a PC f-t-p game, and try keyboard/mouse… Read more

While the article says "There's no info on platforms," the fact that the video lists "Free to Play" as a feature suggests that it's almost certainly on personal computers. You don't see FtP like that on consoles, and the trailer suggests things far beyond phones/tablets. Read more

If you watch the "Talking Dead", a talk show that follows the "Walking Dead" on AMC, you'll know that they have a segment about those that have been lost in the previous episode (usually meaning the zombies). It's hysterical. Read more
