TAN # 192 - A unique welTANschauung (Page 45)

I think there's a park tool for that.

Happy Friday TAN

I am having a hard time staying awake. I stayed up too late playing video games last night.

And I have to work tomorrow morning as well. Ughhh

No rest for the wicked.

Whatcha playing?

I'm almost done with Assassin's Creed III.  I'm sort of a "completionist" and try to do all the extra side missions and do all the missions and meat all the goals to get 100%...  I was playing so much, that I sort of burned myself out on it so put it away for several days.

I have Black Ops II waiting on deck (but still wrapped in plastic).

I tell her that.

"Siri, your are effing worthless".

she says "you are entitiled to your opinion" in response.

Black Ops II I was glued to it after my knee surgery. I am not doing so good with it. But I enjoy it much better then the last MW. The game play is better.

campaign or MP?  I have to be in a rare mood for MP.  I get my butt handed to me.

The only MP games I can sort of hold my own is the AC and Unchartered games.

I am a multiplayer. They have local tournaments etc. you can do lan parties in this a bit better. I get my butt handed to me too most of the time but I like it anyways.

I rock at MP but haven’t even tried the campaign yet. I have gold camo for 8 of the 9 assault rifles and when I get the 9th it will give me diamond camo and it swwweeeeeeeet.

I'm temped to pay for the upgrade if I got into it.  Mostly I lose because my weapons are week and the other guys have all the cool toys like RC cars and drone strikes while I run around with a basic .45 and M4

Another gaming question...  Anyone know the best place to sell back games?  I'm thinking a garage sale, honestly.  Take the middle man out.  I have so many games now that I don't play.

I also wonder when PS4 is arriving and if PS3 games will play.  I assume so since PS2 will play on the PS3

I rocked the hell outta the MP for Medal of Honor, but the newer shooters I'm barely able to stay alive 2 minutes.

I like looking at the world map while in MP to see what areas have the most players and you have little dots in odd places all by them selfs.

Of all the MP, I like MoH best.  It's the most "realistic".  CoD seems a bit cartoonish.  Not as bad as unreal tournament or something, but in between.  You don't seem to get the same feel in MP as you do in campaign mode for CoD.  It's pretty close between the two in MoH.

The magic of the internets.... but basically, electrons just travel that fast. When you move, a player location packet is broadcast to every player in the game.  Some players receive that packet before others.  Sometimes a player receives the location update packet from you before you receive theirs from them... thus the magical "lag" phenomenon where someone you can't even see yet has shot you.   It gets a little more complex than that, but that's the general gist of it.

It's not the same as a FPS, but somewhere I've got the source code for the game Myth III, and the multiplayer code is kinda fun to look at.  Kinda hurts the head a little, too.

Agreed, the MP in MoH just felt more natural to me.  Movement speeds, aiming, etc...  the CoD games just never felt right.

That what I figure what would happen all the time - so much so, it would make it impossible to play.  But so far, I have never noticed it, but I don't play much.  I understand a LAN, since it's all local/connected.  But the WWW?  Impressive.

Kinda on topic:  http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/580439_4724553603173_615749293_n.jpg

Definitely impressive stuff; there's mechanisms in there to try to keep things sync'd.   Some games do it better than others.  

LAN's are easy as there is essentially no chance for the issues to arrive as most packets can get from one machine to another in 2ms or under.

Such "boy talk"

Bewbies?!?

But you still love us because we got the wee-wee...

I do love men!!

Bewbies is boy talk.

Yes, Yes, but then at least I can join in the convo being the owner of those :-)
