Arcade games have still existed in family pubs, children's entertainment centres and bowling alleys for far longer than, sadly, actual arcades. Arcades were just a little before my time, but nostalgia has kept the idea alive.

When I come across shit like this, I usually get pessimistic and dismiss it, but this time I want it to be real. What we are essentially looking at here is a reiteration of the Steam Machine (to be be clear, I hated steam machines and they soon faded away), but this interesting. This is a PC that uses the heat vented out of the components, usually wasted energy, for a practical purpose. Don't ask me whare I saw it because I'll never remember, but I once read a publication of an experiment online whare somebody built a fully functional gaming PC, removed the heat sinks, made the necessary seals the immersed this circuitry into a tub of cooking oil. Not only did the PC work, after a few minutes they able to fry food in the cooking oil as if were a deep fat fryer. That's how hot these things get. They promise up to 240fps at 4K. The estimated price I've seen quoted is around $2000, so we're talking a mid-high range PC, and if it does come out, for someone looking at a new PC build at about that price, I think it's a neat idea.

If true, expect Nintendo to pull the plug on that immediately.

I'm locking this thread because you're right, there has been a lot of chatter and threads about Cyberpunk 2077's rocky launch, most which you yourself have started, and we don't need yet another one. This could easily be discussed on one of the existing threads.

True. You can't defeat evil with evil.

The obvious answer to that question as a moderator is absolutely not. As long as it is relevant, posted in the correct place and doesn't violate any rules, people can post whatever they want whether it interests you or not.

What country? This is only possible and practicle in certain parts of the world, so it's a hard question to contemplate without knowing what country/state you're refering to.

You said the sport is interesting to watch. That means you were watching a professional match. In other words, you answered your own question. But yes, Table Tennis can be played professionally in both regional and world championship rankings and it's also an Olympic sport. Seriously man, you really need to try asking Google before asking us. This is a video game forum, not a sports dictionary. Wikipedia page on the World Table Tennis Championship

Thesse two topics were similiar enough I decided to just merge them togeather. Travelling is a foul whare a player takes more than (I think) 3 steps holding the ball. That's why players tend to bounce the ball when they move with it becasue that's technically not holding onto it, it's way for a player to hold onto possesion without violating the travelling rule. A 3 point basket is scored when a basket is scored from outside a certain zone marked on the court (see the picture) further from the basket than a regular 2 point basket. The 3 point line is the large semi-circle. If may recommend doing an interent search when you don't undertand sports rules. It's a faster, more reliable way to obtain that information when compared to video game forum. Just saying.

This is a very good thing. Glad to see this kind of action being taken against this.

I agree, and that's why gonna lock this and remove the video. VGR can do without this. This shouldn't have been posted here in the first place.

Locking this for the same reason as the other thread you posted.

Locking this thread as this has nothing to do with video games. If your friend and this very vague business of his need advice, he needs to go someone or something more qualified to offer it than a gaming forum.

The only place a bully belongs in relation to gaming is away from their computer or console doing their homework like their mothers told them to do. Seriously though, there is big difference between a bully's way and a leaders way when if comes to helping people learn the in and outs of a role in an MMO, especially as part of a team. One if them is helpful, satisfying and works, whilst the other us degrading, frustrating for all concerned and doesn't work at all.

A bit late to the show, but the notion that companies should pay their employees more if the company makes more money is, unfortunately, just not the way it works. What a company pay you is defined by how much money they make, it's defined by how much they would have to pay someone else to do your job abd how easy such an individual would be to find. Going on to top level executives, their job is to make that company as profitable as possible, that's the demand of shareholders. Like it or not, laying off staff and paying them the minimum they can get away with for maximum productivity is thier job, and if that includes decisions that leave hundreds of people out of work, the so be it. Like it or not, that's what they get paid for. However, what I really can't stand, and it happens way to often in the gaming industry, is when executives are paid huge bonuses for failure. Studios closing, share prices have dropped, the companies reputation harmed, yet these "Captains" are "thanked" with millions of dollars for abandoning that burning that ship that they set alight in first place with everyone below them still on board. I can't wrap my head round that at all.

Locking this thread as this topic and the issues raised have been discussed directly and directly in several other threads, such as; Education Negative Effects Gambling And this may be a useful thread as well. I also ask @bomb to not post new topics so spuriously. Check for other topics before posting your own and give people a chance to see what new threads have opened up. You're on the verge of pushing your own threads of the forum. You don't need a new thread for every new idea you have. Slow down a little bit.

I really enjoyed Marked for Death in Titanfall, although I'm sure other games may have had their own equivalent. 5v5, one player from each team is randomly marked and its the goal of of each team to kill the mark on the opposing side whilst defending the mark on you team. Fist to 10 mark kills wi e, or the most within the time limit. Titanfall's mech warfare crossed with parkor movement mechanics really enhanced this idea.

Honestly, last time I played it I didn't find Dawnguard much more buggy than the rest of the the game.

This is just another sad example of a game that will only be finished after it is launched. I'm sure there's a good game to be found in Cyberpunk 2077, but let's just I'm glad to not be an early adopter on this occasion. I have full faith that CDPR will get it sorted, it's just a question of when.

I'm keeping an eye on this one. It'll almost certainly be an Xbox brand exclusive, but this has some serious potential. I loved the original on N64 (It's better than Goldeneye, I don't care what anyone says, it just is). So revolutionary and enjoyable to play with a fun story to boot. I hope they can pull it off again.

Sorry, but there is no excuse that CDPR can come up with that I'd buy into other than "OK, we fucked up". Your right @killamch89, we shouldn't be surprised, but not because of the PC benchmarks, but because of CDPR's behaviour. They wouldn't let reviewers use their own footage from their own recordings and didn't hand out review copies for consoles at all. Now, we know why. They never originally intend to launch with next-gen consoles nor the latest GPU's, so that's not an excuse either. The comparatively low power of the the PS4 and XB1 has nothing to do with this. Other developers have done and will continue to do cross gen development just fine. Even after failing to make it's launch date on no less than three different occasions over an eight year development cycle whilst crunching their staff and it's still a mess. People need to stop giving CDPR a free pass. See this for what it is. A shit show of incompetence and trying to to hide the truth from their customers all in the name of securing pre-orders.

It's used. In good shape, though.

I recently started playing FF7 Remake. I never actually played the original, but I dig it so far. I also played through Titanfall 2's simple player campaign. A lot of people have said and for a reason, it's superb. I admit the protagonist isn't very unique (he is literally a soldier named Jack Cooper, ffs), but the story itself, as military themed shooters go, is cool. Something very Star Wars about it. Not in a "rip off" ku d of a way, more of an homage, something that understands the art. Plus, the dialogue between Jack and the Titan BT-7242 is both heartwarming and funny and really feel a connection yo this character, and trust me it is a character. I picked this game super cheap on PSN a few days ago. I don't know if it still is, but whatever platform you have it's definitely worth having a look despite the likelihood of a dead muliplayer.

It's difficult to explain. It just comes down the the individual. Some stories, scenarios and characters can really inspire, provoke and drive an individual to see more, some don't, and it sometimes doesn't have anything much to do with the story itself. Personal mood, current state of mind, even ones health. A couple of things that may have contributed to my difficulty getting into the The Witcher is unfamiliarity with the lore as I hadn't read the books or played their previous games and the game seemed to overwhelm the the player with information in early going. There was so much think about and focus on at once it was more difficult to establish what the game was focusing in it terms of storytelling. I know that storytelling isn't as easy in an open world game, but I feel other RPG's like Skyrim and Horizon: Zero Dawn feed all the lore and active story elements in a way that was easier to digest. Well, that's the best I can do to explain, I hope that's enough.
