List of Tomb Raider media

Tomb Raider is a media franchise consisting of action-adventure games, comic books, novels, theme park rides, and movies, centring around the adventures of the female fictional British archaeologist Lara Croft. Since the release of the original Tomb Raider in 1996, the series developed into a lucrative franchise of related media, and Lara went on to become a major icon of the video game industry. The Guinness Book of World Records has recognised Lara Croft as the "Most Successful Human Videogame Heroine" in 2006. Six games in the series were developed by Core Design, and the latest three by...

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I was looking at the Comixology app the other day. First thing I noticed is that the older non-current MLP comics have their prices halved. The second is that, surprisingly enough, there are two partner stores in Singapore, and at least one of them imports IDW comics

BoltClock

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I don't think they actually carry the comics, but if necessary they could import it I think. They ship comics in batches together, presumably to reduce shipping costs

Yup. Disappointing. Not so much that it was bad per se, but because they squeezed enough content for at least two episodes into one

How is setting a cat on fire not a plot to kill? That's fucked up, and even more fucked up then planning to kill someone with a knife, because setting something on fire means you want to watch it burn alive.

That's also a sign of being a psychopath.

On second viewing, the episode wasn't that bad. The theme that's suppose to be tying the entire episode together should be the question of destiny. You see that both in the first and second part of the episode.

@fredley I've done everything I can, but I can't make your clock suggestion work

fredley

@MBraedley What doesn't work?

MBraedley

The pulses from the sub-clocks are too long, so I put limiters on them. Adjusting the limiters means they're either slightly too long, or slightly too short for triggering the and gate

fredley

@MBraedley You want to inject a one-tick pulse into the system

Use a monostable circuit to do so

MBraedley

I did that with a limiter at the beginning, but for some reason, it's being stretched out once it hits the sub-clocks

I've used both piston limiters and redstone only limiters, neither worked

fredley

7:03 PM

@MBraedley Building one, will post screenshot

MBraedley

@fredley I'm using a sticky piston and block on each of the sub-clocks in order to be able to turn the clock off. Would that cause the pulse to stretch?

and BRB, need to install updates and restart my machine.

fredley

@MBraedley Is that clear enough?

One tick pulse gen on left, three counters in the middle of different lengths, AND circuits at the end

@MBraedley That's fine, just make sure you're adding that extra tick to your calculations

The common multiples of 11 and 13 vs 12 and 14 are very different.

MBraedley

7:26 PM

@fredley One major difference I'm seeing is that you're using three 2-input and gates instead of one 3-input gate

but that shouldn't really affect anything

fredley

It shouldn't, no. Are you using a one-tick pulse?

MBraedley

@fredley I think I am. But if I were using a half tick for starting the clock, it shouldn't change anything.

fredley

Make sure you've counted your ticks accurately, adding or subtracting one tick ends up with multiples of two...

@MBraedley How often does your output pulse?

MBraedley

@fredley I counted my ticks properly

fredley

@MBraedley Ok.

MBraedley

7:30 PM

@fredley more often than it should, or never. But that's with limiting the output of the sub-clocks. I'll try getting it to do a proper 1 tick on input.

Q: Green Screen on Counter Strike on Linux Min

Good evening fellows, I've downloaded the Linux version of Steam and I've downloaded CS 1.6. After test the game, I downloaded another game that didn't even loaded.

Roccat's mice has had a history of scroll wheel problems--just search Google.

It seems, though, that Roccat has fixed the issue in their latest mice, the Kone XTD and Kone Pure, with a new "Titan Wheel".

Should I be concerned about the integrity of the scroll wheel, since I just ordered a Kone XTD?

FAE

@DragonLord How long is the warranty?

DragonLord

One year. This has been the same throughout Roccat's history.

Honestly, I have faith that the problem is solved, but I'd like to know what the gaming community thinks.

FAE

I don't know anyone else who's ever used them, so I can't help you, unfortunately.

Most people I know use Logitech or Razer.

DragonLord

For reference: roccat.org/Products/Gaming-Mice/ROCCAT-Kone-XTD/#crb_3 and destructoid.com/review-roccat-kone--231868.phtml

> During the review process, I actually went through two Kones. The first I had sent back because it wouldn't register the scroll wheel moving sometimes, which became a serious issue. ROCCAT has said that this is an isolated problem, but through some research, it seems as though it's not as isolated as they may have liked.

Should I be concerned, or has Roccat addressed the issue? (The fact that Roccat is marketing a redesigned scroll wheel strongly suggests it is...)

The above link to the Roccat "Titan Wheel" page states that the wheel is good for about six million steps, but does it really deliver?

Anyone?

@Ender, @OrigamiRobot, @LessPop_MoreFizz?

Anyone with experience with Roccat mice?

@OrigamiRobot Do you happen to have any experience with Roccat mice?

Nope

@StrixVaria Makes it INDIE or HIPSTER or EDGY!

I ordered a Kone XTD yesterday from Newegg and had some concerns about the integrity of the scroll wheel, but it seems that Roccat has addressed the issue. Should I still be concerned?

I have never thought as much about a scroll wheel in my life as you have in the past ten minutes.

FAE

@DragonLord I'm not sure what you want us to say, man. :( None of us have any experience with the brand's hardware, so we know about as much as you do.

DragonLord

Maybe another moderator like @GraceNote would know...

StrixVaria

Modship has nothing to do with it.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Nah man, mods are wizards.

StrixVaria

If you already ordered the mouse, then your best bet is probably to just wait and try it.

Don't you have a right to 7-day returns? Check the terms and conditions and laws

@badp Newegg has a 30-day return policy.

@FAE Less.

DragonLord

I've read here that the wheel of the Kone XTD is stiff out of the box. I'd want to suggest that this is a good sign despite what the review says, since I've never seen this said of the older Kone[+].

Ender

@Dragon I cant speak for others, but I dont window shop, and I'm normally pretty broke, so not knowing about gaming periphreals makes sense in my eyes.

@LessPop_MoreFizz True.

Q: Is Searing Arrows affected by Strafe?

If I use Clinckz's Strafe ability, which dramatically increases attack speed for a short time, can I cast Searing Arrows faster? Or Strafe only affects the normal attack?
