Completely reasonable statement

@fbueckert Carter tries to do this, except he doesn't hide in/under anything. He just crouches down and stares at you until you look away.

Wipqozn

"LOL FUCK YOU FANBOY WIIU FOR KIIIIDDIES"

Man, internet fanboys. So much stupid.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot And then, pounce!

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn well, BEST bang for buck is really 360/PS3 if you don't have one

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert He grabs my leg and then just looks up at me like "Why didn't you run?"

Ben Brocka

9:01 PM

Especially with all the cool PS3 releases this year

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka Yeah, but if we're only talking next-gen...err current gen console,s then I'd agree with him.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot Parker hides in doorways and stuff

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Bela just grabs my leg and lets go right away.

And then does it again.

kalina

hmmm

Ben Brocka

He'll jump up waist-high and dropkicks you, then runs off

Wipqozn

9:01 PM

I'm sure both the PS4 and xbone will have fantastic line ups eventually, but right now...well, they're new.

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Hah

Wipqozn

Most games have a small line-up at launch because it's launch.

OrigamiRobot

I hope Carter doesn't learn to do this. He is going to be a big kitty.

Ben Brocka

It doesn't really hurt, much less than him stepping on you

Wipqozn

> Focusing on the size of the Console that is going to be pretty much stationary its entire existence while connected to your television is not something harp on.

This is one thing I've never understood.

If you have more than one entertainment device then of course size matters.

Ben Brocka

9:03 PM

Some people are surprisingly picky about what goes in their entertainment center

OrigamiRobot

Carter is also one of those cats that likes to make chirping noises when he's hunting.

Wipqozn

Then again I suppose most fanboys do only have one entertainment device...

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Well, once you fit it into your unit somewhere, chances are good you're not going to be moving it a ton.

So size tends to be somewhat irrelavent beyond initial setup.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Yeah, but fitting it in is the key there.

Q: How to favorite a server in-game?

Is there a way to easily favorite a server while a match? I've looked through the list of console commands but haven't found anything of much use. The closest commands I have found are: cl_ask_favorite_for_any_server: If nonzero, auto-ask for local/LAN servers (for debugging) ...

Ben Brocka

9:04 PM

I DO like that the PS4 is tiny though. I wouldn't not buy a console for size, but it is a neat plus

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka Yeah, I wouldn't not buy one for the size.

But smaller is better. It's just easier.

2

If I want to havea l my consoles et cetear on my entertainment stand it's easier to do that if they're smaller.

Ben Brocka

I'm too afraid to leave the hotter ones inside the entertainment center anyway. The PS3 sides besides it and the PS4 is on top

Star Citizen has a much larger, more in depth feature list

and it's actually designed as an MMO

rather than single/multiplayer

but the developer already has a history of overpromising with Freelancer

@kalina So the majority of the items will be vanity items?

I am about to go out now, so I won't say a whole lot of other things I could say, but I will tell you that there are lots of quirky things you may want to know about the game and it's engine, and that you should ask lots of questions about it that I can answer when I am home again in 8 hours or so.
