| Topic | Borderlands 2 is good, but the first 15 levels are an absolute fucking slog. |
| FridgeBeard 12/13/19 3:16:24 AM #3 | I feel like most of the Borderlands games are like this. TPS got going pretty fast though. --- |
| Topic | Isn't it fucked that police don't need any sort of college education? |
| FridgeBeard 12/11/19 4:06:43 PM #28 | NES4EVER posted... Having a degree can greatly help when going up the ranks.This. It might be a partial requirement in my state though. The local police departments have recruited at the colleges here, and when I was taking Criminal Justice myself, my professors strongly encouraged further schooling if we wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement. My favorite professor said too many people misunderstand what it means to be a police officer and that's why she tries to focus on the logistical side of policing, i.e. laws, regulations (local and state), and paperwork. She loved that last one too, always telling us how incoming police officers underestimate the amount of paperwork there is in the job. --- |
| Topic | Avatar: The Last Airbender vs The Legend of Korra |
| FridgeBeard 11/24/19 5:02:42 PM #21 | The big problem with Korra is that after the first season, Nickelodeon basically gave the series a death sentence that it never fully recovered from. Every season felt rushed after it, characters were inconsistent, plot lines were disappointing, and then it just kind of... ended. I don't blame the creators at all though because they made it obvious Nick was screwing them. --- |
| Topic | Worst game you've bought so far this year? Luigi's Mansion 3 for me. |
| FridgeBeard 11/20/19 1:58:00 PM #14 | Yoshi's Crafted World. Felt like such a big step down from Woolly World. --- |
| Topic | For the first time, I don't really get what Game Freak is trying to do... |
| FridgeBeard 11/10/19 11:31:03 PM #19 | I'm pretty sure SwSh is the result of multiple issues. Inexperience with console design and mentality, rushing, burnout, unsure of future direction, changes in management/leadership, and so on. It's a real shame because many of Nintendo's other franchises are hitting new highs and going in great new directions on the Switch. Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem, soon Animal Crossing, and so on. I think that's what makes the disappointment in this game sting even more: we were all expecting something along those levels, but in the end, it's basically a 3DS upscale with, somehow, even more limitations. It'll still probably sell extremely well, but I think everyone knows this gen will be regarded as one of the weakest. --- |
| Topic | So far I'm not stoked on Luigi's Mansion 3, does it get better? |
| FridgeBeard 11/09/19 4:29:39 PM #7 | Honestly, not really. The gameplay loop will essentially be the same the entire game and there aren't any real upgrades or changes as you continue. Enter a new floor, probe for treasures, fight boss, repeat. --- |

| Topic | Is community college easier than high school? |
| FridgeBeard 11/08/19 3:41:23 AM #14 | I voted other. I was a dumb, lazy WoW kid in high school but had my big boy pants on for college. While there are some standard core classes everyone takes, there's usually a whole different set of curriculum available that high school doesn't have access to. I went to one of the better community colleges in the state and tended to have a harder time in the core "math, english, history, science" classes but had it significantly better with other material like anthropology, logic, philosophy, law, and criminal justice (which I then went on to major in). So it depends on the school and you as a person. --- |

| Topic | Just finished Gundam Origins |
| FridgeBeard 10/08/19 2:54:42 AM #14 | I really dug The Origin and would be really down for a full on remake of the original Gundam series in the same style. I mainly like that there's a lot more focus on Char. I find him a much more interesting character than Amuro. --- |

| Topic | Best Digimon series? |
| FridgeBeard 10/03/19 7:41:53 PM #9 | I love Tamers but I honestly haven't seen any series after it. Main thing I like is that it focuses more on the human world overall. --- |
| Topic | Monster Hunter World: Iceborne got boring fast |
| FridgeBeard 09/29/19 6:46:08 PM #5 | I noticed this. Of the September releases, I feel like this one probably fell off the hardest after how successful the original launch of MHW was. I'm not playing it myself, but my friends have said Iceborne just feels a lot grindier, that everything has way too much HP, compared to the original. --- |
| Topic | Okay Nerds. What are your favorite video game soundtracks? |
| FridgeBeard 09/27/19 9:19:10 PM #10 | Persona 5 Halo 3: ODST Radiant Historia Pokemon Black & White Danganronpa V3 Etrian Odyssey series Final Fantasy XIII series (original XIII-2, and LR) Fire Emblem Fates --- |

| Topic | AI: Somnium Files is probably one of the best games out in the recent times |
| FridgeBeard 09/26/19 4:07:17 PM #14 | MacadamianNut3 posted... Artbook for the special edition is ehhh for anyone curious I wouldn't have bothered with the SE for AI if Amazon didn't screw up and accidentally have it set to the regular version's price for a day. I was going to get the game either way on release so this was just a bonus. But yeah, looking forward to the game and have been hearing really good things. Probably going to play it next. --- |
| Topic | Have modern RPG's reached the original pitch for Fable (Project Ego)? |
| FridgeBeard 09/25/19 1:36:00 AM #3 | Honestly, even though it isn't an RPG, I feel like Red Dead Redemption 2 comes pretty close to some of these. --- |
| Topic | Favorite goofing off at work memory? |
| FridgeBeard 09/25/19 1:30:42 AM #15 | Crazy Christmas party with a ton of high level government officials. When I was in insurance, I took a call from a client who sounded like that stereotypical "deep voiced, smoking woman from Boston" and she had the best sense of humor from a customer I'd ever talked to. Made my day. Kept talking about how the lady who hit her looked and sounded like a hooker, how her name "Candy Flauss" was clearly a cover. When I was younger: riding children's bikes around Toys R Us after closing and chucking balls at each other. There was also the time I had to be the escort for Geoffrey and we decided to troll by following the kids that were terrified of the costume. We had a Skylanders rep in the store that day who was obviously hungover, and he saw what we were up to and kept busting out with these super contagious wheezy laughs. --- |

| Topic | Red Dead Redemption 1 vs Red Dead Redemption 2 |
| FridgeBeard 09/14/19 5:45:48 PM #20 | Nall posted... I preferred 1 because it wasnt so hyper focused on realism that it became a detriment to gameplay. This. RDR1 is one of my favorite games ever, so I had high hopes for the sequel. But from the very beginning to the bitter end, it fought me every step of the way. It's one of the slowest games I've ever played, which I understand is more "realistic", but it doesn't make for a very fun experience imo. I had to give up on activities like hunting and collectibles early because it felt like there were a million steps needed to accomplish anything and I was never good enough. Horse riding and getting around, in general, takes forever and the fast travel system is awful. The stat system is bugged (or was back at release), all guns essentially feel and work the same and maintenance of them is a chore, and there are soooooo many glitches. And the less said about Online, the better. The story and characters are the only amazing aspect of the game, and why I kept with it until the end, yet due to it being a prequel, you essentially already know the outcome from the start. I'll be honest, I still liked the game, but I was beyond relieved to finally have it finished. --- |
| Topic | why does Man of Medan look signifcantly worse than Until Dawn, a 4 year old game |
| FridgeBeard 09/10/19 1:21:05 AM #3 | The studio had Sony money and systems before. Now they have Bandai Namco, uh, stuff. --- |
| Topic | What cancelled game stung the most for you? |
| FridgeBeard 09/09/19 3:22:38 PM #111 | Speaking of Mega Man, after Legends 3, Capcom pretty much scrapped all other plans for the series as well. There were plans to have remakes of X2 and MM2 on the PSp that woud've followed in the same style as Maverick Hunter X and Powered Up respectively. Then we just recently learned about this in June: https://www.nintendoenthusiast.com/2019/06/16/canceled-mega-man-star-force-4-details-emerge-wouldve-been-mature/ --- |
| Topic | What cancelled game stung the most for you? |
| FridgeBeard 09/09/19 3:28:03 AM #48 | Am I the first to say Half-Life 3? Because that. It's just as bad, if not worse than the Legends 3 situation too. -Previous game/episode ended on a cliffhanger with a ton of foreshadowing both in that as well as the Portal games -Seemed to at least exist at one point or another, definitely had some buzz behind the scenes -Valve gets too greedy after Steam hits it big, decides to funnel all effort and work into that instead of games -Slowly but surely, all pertinent members that worked on the game/series leave Valve -Document leak shows the final product would've been awesome: http://www.marclaidlaw.com/epistle-3/ --- |
| Topic | Hotel Dusk looks incredible for a DS game |
| FridgeBeard 09/09/19 3:19:55 AM #43 | Wish I had bought HD when it was still easily available. Ended up getting it years later at a Gamestop clearance sale for >$5 and it's one of the few I own without a case. Also wish the U.S. got Last Window. Recent check for it on ebay was narsty. But yeah, these games have style. Apparently that's why it took so long to get them out. I'm of the HD > LW camp, but one thing I was kind of annoyed by in both is that there are these sort of non build-ups. Like, the games hint at a bunch of stuff happening behind the scenes, and you think there'll be some sort of big climax, but it usually ends up being a fizzle and the good stuff happens off-screen. Oh, Louis is best girl too --- |

| Topic | Holy FUCK Glass is a terrible movie. -spoilers- |
| FridgeBeard 08/30/19 2:30:43 AM #4 | I get what they were trying to do with it, but I don't think it translated well to an actual movie. Plus, as a conclusion to two other pretty good titles, it was incredibly weak and not at all satisfying. --- |
| Topic | How many traffic tickets have you gotten in your driving career? |
| FridgeBeard 08/19/19 6:04:17 PM #25 | kingdrake2 posted... FridgeBeard posted...None, and only a kind-of, sort-of parking ticket from campus security back when I was in college for parking in a carpool spot that I got waived for good behavior. It wasn't even a real ticket so it was a "whatever" thing. It was a rainy day and I didn't see the signage so I thought the spot was fine. Guess not, so hey, live and learn. --- |

| Topic | I bought Gundam model kits. |
| FridgeBeard 08/19/19 4:40:18 PM #47 | Hey, thanks for the advice. Dumb question, but you have any personal recommendations from where to get some decent sanding sponges? My friend uses sheets he got from a local hobby shop and, yeah, they're a bit too rough. --- |
| Topic | I bought Gundam model kits. |
| FridgeBeard 08/19/19 3:37:54 PM #45 | I've been sitting on a backlog of RG kits for a while now: Sazabi, Sinanju, Unicorn, and Banshee. I've thought about picking up the Nu and Crossbone, but I just haven't been in the mood for model making in a while and the last couple I worked on didn't turn out the way I hoped. I was almost thinking of paying my friend to just make these for me, but that's no fun. When I have time in the future, maybe I'll hit up a model club in the future so I can get some tips. It's been years now and I still consistently have problems with nubs. Maybe I need new nippers or a file? --- |

| Topic | Imagine being a fan of the Hobbit movies |
| FridgeBeard 08/01/19 2:16:47 PM #28 | The Hobbit is one of my favorite books, so I was bummed when the adaption was stretched out to three full-length, grimdark movies that completely miss the point and spirit of the novel. Like, it was written as a fun bedtime story for Tolkien's son, not some broody, bombastic theatrical display. --- |

| Topic | Alvin in Tales of Xillia is just an exposition dump disguised as a character |
| FridgeBeard 07/25/19 4:18:14 PM #22 | Ah, I meant in general. I had a lot more fun with the combat and like that the story had some darker beats. Some of the new dungeons were neat, but yeah, big areas still sucked. At least you could run through most of them pretty easily without missing much, which is kind of what I meant. --- |
| Topic | Alvin in Tales of Xillia is just an exposition dump disguised as a character |
| FridgeBeard 07/24/19 6:58:58 PM #17 | Xillia was a bit of a slog for me mainly because of the huge, empty areas. The battle system likewise felt like a downgrade after Graces. Xillia 2 was an improvement at least, despite reusing a ton of content. --- |
