More or less the same. I counted that as a "fingertip" grip in my vote, though, since the distance between my palm and the mouse seems variable depending on what I'm doing.

Huh, I've never really thought about what "grip" I have before. I guess I'm a loose palm/fingertip guy. Someone should make a poll. I'd be really interested to see how other people hold their mouse.

Yup, that's usually the way I do it. Watching the entire population suddenly drop off is pretty awesome.

Decided to play a game of Pandemic. Spoiler Suck it Madagascar.

so sick

Logitech Master Race FTW. I have a G500 and overall I've been very satisfied with it.

I don't think I would describe Coldplay as "avant garde" (then again I'm into some pretty weird shit) but I otherwise agree. I often wonder the same thing about Radiohead. I'm sure they'll be remembered on an academic level as being important, but I'm not sure they're going to be on "oldies" stations of the future or anything.

Kanye West. Hate on him all you want, but every solo album he's released has been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, in addition to being hugely influential. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy especially stands out as perhaps one of the greatest mainstream albums of the 2010's (so far). Between the quality of his music and his usually bizarre public persona, Kanye's definitely going to be remembered as a classic for a long time. Also, Beyonce. But that hardly needs explaining.

Sorry to show off this again because it's been like half a day so it's totally out of date and not cool anymore... Dude, it's cool. I'm still flipping out over it a little bit.

Finally finished season four, and I have to say

Daaaaaamn.

This is great. I visited his bandcamp and I will be buying all the things. Thanks!

I'm going on out of town for a week, so if you see me on the server and I don't talk to you, I'm afking in my gold farm making fat $tack$ of ca$h money until I get back / the server boots me.

This, and my first console games were Metroid Prime and Super Mario Sunshine.

Does anyone have experience or know anything about Steam Family Sharing? I want to share my library with my brother, but I also sync my games up to the cloud. Does that mean if my brother installs and plays a game from my library that he could potentially be fucking around with my account/saved games?

Apparently the Master Vampire (if you can call them that, exactly) in The Strain is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes, better known as The Medic. Just noticed it in the opening credits today.

Yeah, as far as PVE goes melee weapons are the way to go. They're silent, they do good damage and they never run out of ammo. I found a katana early on and carving through hordes of the undead is usually a cakewalk. I carry around a Deagle, a shotgun and an assault rifle and I think I've used the Deagle once through the entire game, and that was only because I wanted to use the noise to draw a horde of zombies out to clear a town instead of going house to house like a schmuck.

Am I correct in assuming 20 pixels above the height limit won't be considered egregious?

The inventory system definitely needs to be changed/streamlined. At the moment it seems like the game is going with a "realistic" ammo system. So if you have one clip with four bullets loaded in the gun and a second clip with one bullet and you reload, you end up with... one bullet. I lost a shitload of handgun ammo before I realized this. EDIT: So apparently clips and bullets aren't ammo types, but separate items altogether. You find things out in the wild called "Civilian bullets" or "Military bullets" and you actually have to combine them with the appropriate clip to get a full one. As far as the "what to do" is concerned, it's a survival game. As long as you don't die you're pretty much doing it right. If there's any kind of endgame I'd say it's building a base that's self sustaining. I've found a few items like seeds so I'm assuming you can farm plants for food and stuff like that. I haven't been playing long, but for beginners the best thing to do is probably to find a decent melee weapon. If you try to carry around guns and ammo before you get a backpack you won't have room for food and water and other shit you need. Grab an axe or something for starters. The zombies are so stupid that kiting them into a single file line and bashing their brains in one by one is pretty easy.

It's a nine minute video and I'm not watching that shit for nine minutes. Does his head explode eight minutes in? Otherwise it's pretty much just a kid being cute as far as I can tell.
