I own a vite, used to play it quite a lot. Persona 3 and 4, Zero Escape, variouse indie games, for a good while it was my dedicated Spelunky consol. But the thing came out in early 2012. I don't really get why people expect Sony and other developers to keep caring about it. What other pieces of enitertaniment technology did you buy five yeara ago, that you still give a shit about?

The reason the vita died, was not that Sony burried it, or stoped supporting it. It's simply becuase it's old and outdeaded.

@rorie:Thanks so much. Really helped me out. One question though. Is there ANY real reason to get the Intel Core i7 6700K over the 4790K model. Because the price differences is 1000kr (Danish currency, around 150US$), and as far as I can see, the models are not at all that different.

I have never built a machine myself, and honestly didn't really see myself building one. But here I am, few weeks before Fallout, and a lot of money to blow. So I have decided to get myself a rig. For as mush as people talk about the process as: "Really not that difficult when you first get started", I still feel a nervous breakdown waiting around every corner. What confuses me the most is the differences between parts of the same type. Like, why can I find some i5 cpu's cheaper than some i7's? And what is even the differences tween the dozens of different i5's and i7's.

Other times I get confused on the relationship between price vs performance. Is this video card worth the extra 100$, the number only goes up 970 to 980. Or am just throwing money into a bottomless pit. But the big one, that really gets me worried, is rather or not my component fits together.

I have build a list, and would really appreciate if someone would look it over. I'm very open to suggestions, and not afraid of ridicule. I just one a nice machine that will keep me going for years. Also, I would like to get 16 gb of ram. So do you buy two 8 gb, or is that a different thing all together.

So me and my brother downloaded this, loved it, and broke it. Like it's not even fun. We both know that every 5th brick is a gem one. So from the first brick, it becomes a race for fucking the other one over and getting all the gems. The character doesn't matter, the placement barley matters.

I know you can change the frequency of gems. But that doesn't really do the trick.

Any tips, and experiences.

@magus213:

Hmmm, I don't know. I'm not loving the wording.

It's a little imprecise and too open ended. If we want our message across, we need to be more accurate and clearer with our message.For one, at this point the name of the next season hasn't yet been officially revealed. No point in guessing about it in our rant, instead let's focus on the known.

But it's good enough for now. I will buy might plain ticket, but that is it. I wont buy the signs.

@Fredchuckdave I mostly agree, but I don't think a lot of your points really apply to video games. We are not discussing integration or economics. We were discussing video games, an art form. Art doesn't need to be "efficient". Diversity doesn't slow down the progressions and efficiency of art. Diversity doesn't come with cost, it only serves to widen the media.

I watch a lot of films. Like a lot of fucking films. More so than I play video games (Probarly because of the reasons dissused so in this thread) I get really nerdy about my films. But I don't really watch a lot of "white male 16-25" films. Instead I spend most of my time watching fringe stuff from the darkest parts of the internet, and the outer edges of the globe. At the moment I'm trying to catch up on films from last year. So far my top 10 persist of films from: Turkey, Norway The Philippines, Japan(three of them), Poland, Sweden, Ireland, and... Well I don't really know how qualify the last one. To compare I think all of my top 10 games was from America, with exception of Ground Zeros.

I like these films because they deliver something I can't really get most other places. But games are still so far from that, ones in awhile you hear about someone foreign making a bad phone game. But most of the time, even indie games, just feel like the same old thing.

My favorite director of the last decade is Apichatpong Weerasethakul form Thailand. I want to play a real Thai game. A game as strange and deep, and transcendental as Weerasethakul film. That's why I want diversity.

Yeah you are totally right. It's not that I don't trust science. It's that I don't trust how the way media/ Food corporations / Big Pharma / etc. treat that date, and translate it into products or life styles.

I don't know all the science behind cholesterol fat, I won't outright deny that it can have harming effects on some people. But the market that has been build around cholesterol lowing drugs and diets is disgusting.

I have a hard time believing most diet/ health advice.

1. Because it seems to change ever other week. No one ever seem to agree. One day coffee is the most unhealthy shit, the next day it gets you cancer, the day after, it's suddenly super healthy again. Just 10 years ago fat was public enemy nr. 1, today no one seems to give a shit.

2. Food and off the counter drugs seems like maybe the two biggest markets riped for misleading and manipulating. So many people and so much money evolved. Which makes me very skeptical of any science or breakthroughs that gets media attention.

This sometimes leads me down some dark conspiracy like paths. Especially cornering the proposed danger of cholesterol.
