Thread for Gamers 2: The Three Is A Lie

If it was that easy, nobody would do it.

No. It's typically just people being idiots and the people they screw lacking the money to hire a lawyer. It's extremely easy to sue a business in the ground for incredibly obvious things they should have seen coming, like a restaurant lacking a ramp for those in wheelchairs.

If it was that simple, then thousands of restaurants would be doing it. If it was that simple, then a court case decades ago would have banned it.

You should care, it's the further corruption and decay that's been spreading throughout the entire gaming industry. All together with Five Guys, IGN, Gamespot, Tomb Raider, etc. What took a century to bring down media to the all time low it is today has only taken a decade in gaming.

And yet people will continue to give corporations as much power over their gaming devices as possible by buying consoles.

MEC Troopers in XCOM: Enemy Within are awesome.

They quickly even up the odds.

Have you had one punch a Mechtoid yet?

[Licana]

mechtoids have easily the lamest kill animation when using the MEC's kinetic strike.

Come back when you're dunking on Sectopods, or grappling with Berserkers.

Ive actually not used the kinetic strike from the MEC troopers yet.. ill have to do that at some point in the future.

The flamethrower is really useful--- arguably more useful than the KSM--- but KSM looks so much more awesome.

Oh ive used the flame thrower a lot, the panic it causes is awesome.

[Corrian]

This is interesting looking. A fighting game I might actually enjoy, especially against my dad and sister.

The problem is that it's useless against robotic enemies. It's fantastic against Chryssalids, though. I brought it with me to Newfoundland. Additional problem, though: you only get two uses of it, whereas you can punch as many times as you like.

The only fighting game I ever got into was Skullgirls. And no I don't just play it for the tits. Although I am man enough to admit they were a factor in me playing.

I must be the only man in existence who doesn't care about tits Well, other than gay men, of course

It's got solid game play, good story, and good soundtrack. Plus it's all animated frame by frame.

No, your logic is flawed. The point is that you could very easily sue the shit out of that restaurant as an employee so long as you had the money to do so. The reason why people probably don't is because they either aren't cynical enough to come up with the idea, or are too busy working multiple jobs (which is the only reason why they'd be working there in the first place), especially in light of the minimum wage likely to be raised nationally.

Also, lolwut? "If it was that simple, then thousands of restaurants would be doing it." doesn't make any sense at all.

*wouldn't, if you really want to get into semantics.

The point is this is a trend that has been going on for decades if not longer, and in all that time nobody has ever sued and won. Hell, the United States Department of Labor actually made a specific exemption that allows that kind of practice to occur (It's called "tipped wages", and basically says that if the average yearly tip + yearly wage equals federal minimum wage, it's legal). It's a legal practice, as unethical as it is.

Holy crap. I had my brother open up my Roccat Kone to discover the drive shaft of the mouse wheel broken.

So now, I am back to my old Logitech M205 wireless mouse. Dat low sensitivity....

1: Lol at not using a logitech mouse
2: Low sensitivity is usually better for gaming

The Logitech mouse that I have is too small for my hands.

Just waiting for 24 hours before I can use the Roccat mouse again. The break in the drive shaft was clean so he just glued it together.

As for the low sensitivity, I dislike it. It doesn't give me enough reaction time in first-person shooters.

1. Agreed.
2. Depends on the gamer in question.

[Gristol-Serkonos]

Meh, I preferred Roccat.

[Antarticaria]

Meh, I preferred Roccat.

I personally prefer my Lenovo Wired Mouse. I have used it for about a year or so and its still perfect and very very formed to my hand.

[Bezombia]

yall noobs don't know a good mouse when you see it

I have a G700S which I absolutely love, but if it breaks I'd probably get something in the G500 series because dat perfect sensor

Noobs rely on equipment for their skills.
I can kick FPS ass with my Vaios Touch Pad and have before I had this mouse.

Noobs try and "prove" their "skills" as opposed to actually winning.

Try playing Quake with a touch pad and lemme know how far your "skills" get you.

Ugh I hate touch pads.

But yeah, I've loved my Logitech mouse. But that might be because it was my first ever mouse without a ball....

Tribes Ascend with a touch pad. I did Kill more of them then they did of me. Average about two kills over my deaths with a touch pad.
I have beaten RTS games with touch pad. Fast paced and otherwise. I have proven myself and can claim as such.
