@Frank I actually have an external but I'm not sure I want to use it for the Wii U for reliability reasons (it's an old drive and I don't like mechanicals anyway)
> The Wii U Optical Disc is a proprietary high-density optical disc, developed by Nintendo and Panasonic, and serves as the physical medium for Wii U games. The format is very similar in physical design and specifications as the Blu-ray Discs, sporting a capacity of 25 GB per layer.
So, that'll bump to 50GB if they ever release a dual-layer disc.
I can probably survive with 128GB for a while. I don't think I'll get many digital games that have physical versions unless their on sale...and that's...yeah it's Nintendo
Hey guys. I recently discovered "Aarklash: Legacy" and absolutely love the gameplay. It reminds me of the "Dragon Age" series, but I actually like the 3rd person view better. Have there been any other games recently like this that I may have missed? It is a squad-based tactical RPG. I browsed the chronological list of TBT and TBS on wikipedia, but that is not an all-inclusive list and I am hoping some other lovers of the genre can point me towards more great / similar titles.
@Powerlord They didn't even have retail digital games until this gen. They might be thinking about it, but I'm not optimistic for that happening this gen
Also if they do it, GC VC games will cost $30 and be released once every 4 months
@Powerlord IIRC they were in some ways at the least. Seemed to have higher poly counts. But lower storage size meant games couldn't have as many textures/audio tracks, and definitely not the FMVs the PSX loved
I mean, I'm not super interested in it, but nothing's obviously going to get you yelled at, unless they're watching close enough to read everything, in which case you're screwed anyway by all the stuff we say on the bridge
@GraceNote In Bridge It, one of the challenges was to build a drawbridge so a boat could pass under it. I couldn't get that to work so I just made a big rounded bridge the boat could fit under. The cars would all jump off the top.
I mean, I can name all the good N64 games without even thinking about it... Super Mario 64, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Zelda: Majora's Mask*, Super Smash Bros, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong 64, Goldeneye*, and Perfect Dark*.
@BenBrocka Plus Earth gets a spell that makes you invincible for 2 turns, so you can just be invincible forever by casting it every other turn.
@Powerlord So you're judging the game without knowing about it? :P
(I haven't played Quake 2 or Unreal Tournament, for reference.)
In Perfect Dark, you could set up bots in multiplayer matches to play in specific ways.
Judgment Bots would try to kill the current leader, Vengeance Bots would try to kill whoever killed them, Peace Bots would try to disarm you and run away.
There were like 8 different "personalities"
You could also set bots to a variety of difficulty levels, from Meat to Dark.
Dark bots literally cheated by walking through walls (only when you couldn't see them).
I know that UT supported mutators that changed gameplay in various ways, including affecting which weapons were available in maps... I think some of the stock ones included swapping the normal impact hammer melee weapons with a one-shot kill version.
UT was also the game that introduced the Redeemer, a remote control missile you could pilot around... and had the Dr. Strangelove mutator which allowed you to ride the missile around.
Unreal Tournament's strength was the fact that players could mod it. I have no idea if UT had personalities as such, but someone probably made a mod for it to add them.
Grrr, I want to burn svnkit and/or svn's devs. Turns out that while my desktop uses SVN 1.8 to build, our build environments are still on 1.7... we use a maven plugin to fetch the build number to show on our dev and qa environments. Problem is that svnkit (and svn itself?) libraries only support the working directory version they were built for.
One of my staple items in FTB Unleashed was the Force Wrench. For those who don't know, it allowed you to pickup items without loosing their contents. (Chests would still have their inventory, tanks would keep their fuel, and you could move spawners.)
FTB Monster doesn't include the Dartcraft mo...
So, either I check in a change that works for my local build environment and breaks our deployment environment, rollback my own environment to svn 1.7, or make a change to a configuration file and never check it in.
Seriously, what kind of lib doesn't support older versions?
I am playing Donkey Kong Country Returns and I'm on level 7/7. When I beat that world it won't open a road to the new stage instead it opens a road that backtracks to level 7/5. Why? How do I continue?
Proposed Q&A site for scientists interested in openly sharing their research; for anyone interested in open access to research results; for publishers, librarians and other Open Science stakeholders.
@Oak Hey man, you said if I ever had Eclipse questions I could bring them at you.. I have imported a project and for the project and certain folders and files in src and such it has the normal expand icon, an icon for the file type and then a > before the file name.. What does that mean?
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat room. First rule is, we do not talk about games. Second rule is, we do not. talk. about. games. Third rule, if a joke says "stop" or goes limp, taps out hammertime. [-bird-god] [-context] [-dome-fossil] [-false-prophet] [-fun] [-helix-fossil] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [murder] [-ss-ticket]
@sterno it took a while before people noticed, but I think it's obvious. When we draw a joke for so long it is literally begging us to stop, we wear our best troll face and reply, "hammertime!"
The rest of the sentence was already jumbled in the source material
In KSP, I can do science "from space just above Kerbin's Deserts" or "while flying over Kerbin's Water".
At what altitude do I stop "flying over" and start sciencing "from space just above"? At what altitude am I "in space near Kerbin"? In other words, how low do I have to be for the biome to re...
At the moment I hit platinum status but want to avoid downloading Pokemon Bank and Steel Diver to save those coins for the next CN year (that starts on July). I was wondering, could it be possible to unlink my Club Nintendo account from my 3DS, download the games, and link it a couple of months d...
So I became Thane of Riften and got Iona as a housecarl and I married. She was in my house but after a while she just disappeared from my house and isn't anywhere in riften, from what it seems. Any idea where she would be? I also have not gotten a letter from a courier to inform that she has been...
When you build a Herbalist, it shows a circle with an influence area. What does this area actually mean? The people served by this building or the area where it gathers herbs? In the second event, how far away from the town can/should it be to be effective and beneficial?
I am not sure what game this is, but one of my friends just sent me a funny .gif of it and now im interested in playing it.
