  1. The charging station and second controller would be my biggest tip as well. Some people have also had issues with their thumb pads wearing down on the analog sticks but I haven't seen any wear since I bought the PS4 in 2014.
  2. Destiny: The Taken King launched months ago, long before the rush of autumn releases, yet millions of players still play for hours every day. It's a vote of confidence for Bungie but also a never ending workload, as the game's intensely loyal fanbase constantly demand fresh content. Ensuring Destiny's players are sated is a full time job - that of the game's live team, whose most-recent project was October's well-received Festival of the Lost event. It was a fun mix of Halloween freebies and a smattering of cosmetic extras you could skip the wait and pay for upfront. But it's now December, when a year ago Bungie launched its Dark Below add-on with new story missions and a fresh raid. And, now, the game's playerbase wants to know what's next. Bungie did not sell an expansion pass with The Taken King as it did with Destiny vanilla. No promises of further story additions have been made. But expectations were set high by the quality of The Taken King expansion, and the likely outdated release plan leaked in autumn 2014 which suggested two DLCs were planned to follow Taken King, just as two did last year. Last weekend's announcement of a Sparrow racing event, once a highly-requested addition, had something of a mixed reaction. Fans were happy the mode was finally being trialled, but in the absence of any other information many had expected something different - something similar to last year's more traditional DLC. Eurogamer spoke with senior designer Derek Carroll, part of the game's live team, to try and find out more about the event and nail down Bungie's plans for the rest of Destiny: Year Two. The gist? Don't expect a "monolithic" DLC any time soon - but several more events and surprises are in the pipeline. Destiny's first year featured two DLC packs, whereas this year things are different. Can players look forward to any more story content in Year Two? So why the change? [A recent Kotaku report suggested this year's DLC had been scrapped to give the next boxed Destiny release, almost certainly due in September 2016, a little more development time. It's a report Bungie has not commented on.] Why not do another Expansion pass as well? Festival of the Lost was great, but this leads to a situation where players are left guessing what form the game's next addition will take. Can you say anything to set expectations? Will there be anything you need to buy to access? Bungie has so far done a good job keeping anything affecting gameplay separate from microtransactions. Presumably the Sparrow racing event will follow suit? One final thing - I know fans want more slots for their emotes [currently you can equip only one]. Are you guys looking at that? Bungie talks Destiny: The Taken King's event-focused future ----- From my perspective it's very disheartening and from what I took out of the statement is there will be no more "end game" activities that we all love. The resources are going directly to the next version of Destiny and they are hoping these tiny little events tide players over until then? It makes me not even want to play or think about playing the franchise at all.
  3. I know right, mountain time...
  4. So apparently the FFVII remake is gonna be episodic release and not a singular game experience. I really don't know how I feel about this.
  5. I wish this offer was for digital games.
  6. Reddit thread can be found here. 66 artists combined for almost 500 wallpapers of high quality. Dropbox
  7. More or less this is how I interpreted that video. I'm only of those who put a thousand hours into the game over 7 or 8 characters and I'm more surprised I don't rush to log in daily. But I still enjoy the game and know it's a process. The Dark Below was rushed and it sucked. Since then with House of Wolves and The Taken King there has been more quality and I appreciate the change. We have to remember we are the 1% of this game. Only 300,000 people even completed the first challenge mode and Destiny claims to have a player base in the millions. The super commuted player is going to be burned out or demand certain changes.
  8. I can only imagine it's going to be Iron Banner style time table and I'm really looking forward to this. I admit this is hurting Bungie though by not hinting at a DLC. It's getting left behind.
  9. It's not turn based the footage from PSX. It was one of my first favorite games but with a new combat style I won't be getting it. I didn't like it in X-2 and I won't really ever enjoy it.
  10. Super hyped. See you Tuesday.
  11. In the 90s I was all about Spider-Man cartoons, X-Men and Transformers. Sprinkle in a little Blade Sharks.
  12. I have to admit I've never watched a single superman movie. I don't like him as a hero. I really only enjoy the batman universe of DC. Other than that I've been a huge Marvel fanboy since I was little.
  13. I do admit the are entitled toddlers on the road. When they get hit or you hear something about it cyclists shit their pants and scream about it but I feel no empathy.
  14. I guess the Internet is mad that the trailer basically spoiled the entire movie, and that Doomsday is in it. Can't people just enjoy movies?
  15. I'm still grumpy about Ben Affleck Batman. I love Jesse Eisenberg as a villain though. He always plays these awkward genius types and I think he will be a neat version of Lex. Wonder Woman, neat but I'm excited to see people bitch about her. I'm looking forward to the movie and eventually Justice League things.
  16. http://fallout4map.com/ It's an interactive fallout 4 map with everything shown on it. You can use it as a checklist or find some things if you need a reference.
  17. For some reason I've noticed more website ditching GMT which is what I always learned conversion with for UTC. I have this long joke with my wife and her family about the best time zone. Clearly being from New York I rant about Eastern time being superior, but my secret is I actually love central time.
  18. What about UCT?
  19. Well the first challenge mode dropped this morning during the reset. Be prepared to be challenged! (It's not really a challenge but easy way for 320 gear) - more ads, that spawn faster; - brand holder must change - deaths/wipes apparently don't matter. the rewards seem to be: - Calcified fragment - Emblem - 310 artifact (NM drop), 320 artifact (HM drop) - Max light weapon drop (310 for NM drop, 320 for HM drop) - as usual, you can get NM and HM drops simultaneously Interestingly, if you already killed him a chest spawns to give you the extra loot.
  20. I think for everyday banter like the massive group is fine and fun. I mute it so the notifications never bother me. For resources and game discussion I'll always post in the forums first. Things that need to be saved or discussed I like it here, but spur of the moment get togethers I like WhatsApp.
  21. Kingsmen was absolutely amazing.
  22. So I'm ready to make some recommendations but I'd like to pass it by y'all first for opinions. A good friend of mine and rugby team mate has had issues with streaming media from his MacBook so he purchased a cheap HP for extra storage space. I instantly wondered why he did not store things on an external which he has and says still isn't very smooth or can't even access it all. What I found out was all media other than photos is stored on iTunes, iCloud. I asked him to send me an email so I can get everything he expects on paper. ----- - Looking to be able to store all of my media in one place - Looking to have easy, smooth access to all media - External hard drive doesn't seem to work for me because most of my music is downloaded through iTunes - I like the idea of having a SSD... they are quicker and less prone to break (I'm told this is because of less moving parts???) ----- Now I'm going to be under the assumption the issues is going to be with buying music and media through Apple and their death grip style DCMA with media. It would make sense for me who torrents movies and music to store and run them from an external as oppose to him who goes through iTunes and purchases them. I explained RPM speeds for externals, hard drives and hybrid/ SSD hard drives. He was planning on buying another Windows OS laptop that has more storage. What I wanted to recommend was just increasing cloud and iTunes storage. TL:DR my friend is running out of media storage and is discouraged by external devices and has purchased a Windows laptop with higher hard drive space. How would you handle this?
