Calgary Thread 2016

I started that the other day, seems pretty good so far!

I gotta watch the Revenant to see if I can spot my tattoo artist. He was an extra in it, grew out his beard and stuff so he looked like a fur trapper.

my game of 2015, don’t have one. didn’t play or beat anything that came out this year

this Steam version of Guilty Gear tho

overall i liked the martian, but basically any critical thought about any scene in it whatsoever makes me also not like it

its a weird feeling. i like it but i could spend hours telling u what is bad about it

the dude spent two years researching everything he needed to know to make the story scientifically plausible… so I don’t think you can poke too many holes in anything to do with the science. Martian soil is so toxic you could never fertilize the soil like that but if ignore that one thing to make the movie possible the rest of it is almost 100% rock solid

Mad Max
Antman
Inside Out

were all pretty good movies.

And Star Wars was great too.

I think those are the only movies I’ve seen from this year

TR-8R is legit the best thing that came out of that movie, the rest of the ‘dark side’ was utter trash

buffer window is wayyyy too huge in sfv. necalli can input his QCB motion and still walk forward and then execute his command grab.

at the 1minute 18second mark

good games in 2015:

ori and the blind forest
rocket league
undertale
just cause 3 (wish it worked well)

and there were a few big blockbusters, mgs5, fallout 4, bloodborne

i bet it’s not that different than sf4?

i mean the ‘tech’ part of that is nonsense, because you could just walk forward and quickly do qcb to get the exact same result. i guess maybe you’d lose a small handful of frames while you go into crouch but …

lets not go down this road

that mother fucker is like red green in space. you are NOT fixing everything with duct tape and tarps on mars

Interesting, Julia Chang’s Mad Axes throw in Tekken has this property too, except that the buffer is deliberately extended for that move alone. I wonder if it’s the same for Necali. Doesn’t seem terribly game breaking though. In the end it’s probably more of a handicap for him, kinda like Seth always getting unintended spd’s because of the stupid buffer window in SF4.

For the sake of comparison, what is the buffer window in both games?

i just tested and Laura can also take advantage of this technique with her command grab.

a small handful of frames. you and I both know that’s a big deal.

no clue bro

oh man… the amount of OSes i’m coming up with are ridiculous. Beta 3 has tonssss of OSes. sorry angry mike and others who hate OSes

Best Movies:

  1. Inside Out
  2. Ex-Machina

I don’t know if i anything else really gripped me this year. I liked Mad Max, but I’ve completely forgotten it whereas these two have stayed with me. I find myself going back to older movies I’ve missed and enjoying them a lot more than going to the theatre. I just watched Playtime again, and highly recommend it if you don’t mind a more subdued comedy style, it really is a masterpiece.

Best Games:

  1. Rocket League
  2. Undertale

Didn’t play much new stuff this year, but I still consistently have fun every time I play Rocket League. I loved Undertale, but still haven’t had the heart to do all the runs so I’ll just put it at second place. Also, shout out to DoTA 2 which makes me so fucking angry every time I play it, but somehow has kept me playing for now around 11 years.

Astaroth’s command grabs worked like that too… it’s in a few other fighting games as well. I dunno - not usually a big deal

I don’t remember but couldn’t Alex do it in SF3 too? Or was it morrigan in some game?

yeah that’s basically how i judge movies. Mad Max was fkucing awesome but i forgot about it after a day. i remember Ex-Machina.

edit: just saw The Martian and you guys are right, that movie is great and very memorable. definitely on my list of 2015

The Hateful Eight took my movie of the year from Ex-Machina. Probably my new favourite movie of all time.

Edit: Nevermind, it didn’t come out in 2015, still great. Go see it.

my fave games of 2015 were
Ori and the Blind Forest
Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth

Album of 2015

Justin Bieber - Purpose

hi everyone, happy 2016!

You guys are all central alberta?
