The problem with Arma is there is no auto-run key and the movement is clunky and slow as fuck, gunfights do not happen like that.

Add Garry's mod. It's a very popular game because of TTT and prophunt.

prop hunt looks fantastic Cheesy

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHHH!!

Cheesy They clearly don't know about Bittorrent and how the internet works do they? I swear, any time people like this try control everything they're going to make my work in operating my business a lot easier.
6404  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Better poll: What % of your net worth is held in Bitcoin? on: November 04, 2013, 09:20:28 AM
Only a tiny amount but I'm moving to go 50% Bitcoin and 50% Gold/Silver, I just need more money Cheesy
6405  Economy / Economics / Re: Would widespread Bitcoin adoption reduce global economic growth? on: November 04, 2013, 08:12:12 AM
actually if bitcoin is used by everyone we would see no growth at all. The world GDP would be forever no bigger than 21 million BTC, which would mean no wealth can be produced anymore and everytime you try to do some work some magic force will forbid you to do it because simply no wealth can be ever produced anymore

you would see in newspapers "china gdp decrease 0.1%, usa 0.3% - we are in the worst crisis after 1929 and 2008 combined"

hehehehe

Yep that sounds about right, pro-inflation economists and newspapers would be up in arms going "It's a disaster" meanwhile people will be able to afford houses for a couple of hundred Bitcoins and people would have to work less in order to afford what they want because the living standards would be so good since all the prices would be low. If you look at what we're trading in most like Electronics and Gold/Silver etc. you can already easily see the benefits, currently you can get a 1kg gold Bar for only 210BTC whereas with 'proper' money you need to have around £30,000 or so and then with electronics you could get a good computer easily for around 5BTC, in paper terms it would cost hundreds so that's taking out a big chunk of your cash but in Bitcoin it's barely anything.

I can't wait to see when we stop using paper currency for pricing because then we can finally start seeing the proper affects of a deflationary economy.

League of legends is the most played game ever i think. Atleast it have 32m active players, so should be on the board.

It's an imbalanced piece of shit where you pay money to skip ahead in the game.
6408  Other / Off-topic / Re: Best multiplayer game. on: November 03, 2013, 04:18:41 PM
yep, from what I've seen a games success is when you still have people 10 years on happily playing it, but for a lot of games like Call of Duty and Battlefield it only takes 1 or 2 years because they keep churning out sequels in order to compensate for their crappy balance and programming.

I haven't played it in years. I might just get it again to check out what it is like now. I can remember it being very buggy and frustrating to actually connect to the servers.

Dunno which version you played but it's fantastic now, even the smoke grenades work properly, I use them regularly to get past chokepoints and ambush people Cheesy I think the only thing missing from CSS is Battlefield style vehicle combat, but the source engine just wasn't really designed for it.

You won't find many mass shooters or suicide bombers amongst Bitcoin users, that's because our ideology makes sense and is actually making a difference in the world.

What's QQ?

Exciting news that bitcoins are making it into real estate.  That'll certainly help if people can pay for their main expense (shelter) using bitcoin.

It will also help prove once and for all just how shitty inflationary currencies are when it comes to housing prices in particular.

I think there's a huge difference between sheltered and wilfully ignorant.
6413  Other / Off-topic / Re: 64 Year old women loses virtual item valued $28,000 on: November 03, 2013, 11:02:20 AM
Wowzers, who pays 30k for a virtual sword?

It's very common in pay-to-win games (look at Maplestory & other Nexon games)

The items are usually very rare, and very OP, usually because they were created through hacking.

It's not just that, game developers deliberately code these kind of items and perks in because they know there are gamers out there who are that pathetic they will devote their whole lives to it, it's really sad actually, EVE Online is another great example of RPG mechanics being taken to a stupid extreme. Grindy mechanics aren't bad by themselves but when you have game developers literally just copy and pasting entire databases and re-naming them or adding 00000's to everything that's when it needs to stop, I actually find it fun on some games like Black and White 1 and Fallout 3 but that's because it's short and I can do it in less than a day.

It's just a cheap and pathetic way to get gamers hooked and what's sad is it's actually working because there are people out there that don't know better games anymore, fyi they aren't created through hacking, they're deliberately flawed game mechanics.

yep, it must be the Chinese, Europeans will be liking the idea of Bitcoin soon as well.
6415  Other / Off-topic / Re: Let's talk about how hot Asian girls are. on: November 03, 2013, 10:11:13 AM
It's not like I can't have both ;( I'm sure asian girls will appreciate my sense of financial freedom and independence Cheesy

Counter-Strike Source, this is one of the few games I'm okay with playing competitively online that still exist or hasn't developed massive balance problems.
6417  Other / Off-topic / Re: 64 Year old women loses virtual item valued $28,000 on: November 02, 2013, 07:30:55 PM
Read a few lines and immediately though she was stupid Sad This is why I just don't play grind based MMORPGs anymore, let the muppets who like it waste their lives, meanwhile I'll play fun games like Minecraft Cheesy.

p.s. As John Mcafee wisely said, you can't value virtual items like that, they're only worth as much as people will pay for.

That's what I think, they're just trying to make it sound like spying on you is a good thing and for your safety as they always do.

The usually dull arena of highway planning has suddenly spawned intense debate and colorful alliances. Libertarians have joined environmental groups in lobbying to allow government to use the little boxes to keep track of the miles you drive, and possibly where you drive them — then use the information to draw up a tax bill.

Those people are no longer Libertarians.
6420  Economy / Speculation / Re: Professional Traders - Do you find speculating easier in cryptocurrencies? on: November 02, 2013, 11:43:08 AM
I'm talking about trading purely in crypto, I find it awesome Cheesy don't understand why you'd sell for paper unless you really needed it.
