Hey guys, though i should contribute mine as well, have not posted in quite a while

I play HL2 with mouse and keyboard. I can make the same reactionary movements as I normally would without it feeling bad, I'm just as accurate as I am normally (even though a metrocop's head at 50m distance is like one pixel due to the low pixel density at the moment). The Rift complements pretty much every control scheme, and Valve's implementation of FPS aiming works great.
 
 
 
The virtual boy was the same idea, but failed because the technology just wasn't there yet. I could play hours with the Rift without feeling eye strain or getting a headache. The reason I don't is because playing HL2 in VR can be mentally exhausting because of how intense the whole experience is, you really need the break to catch your breath and mentally process all the cool shit you just did. It really is that awesome.

Been playing Valve's official VR mode for Half-Life 2 yesterday. It's in the beta branch right now for which you can opt-in.
You haven't played Half-Life 2 until you've played it with a Rift. The whole game seemed to have been made with VR in mind, it's crazy. The enemies (a lot of them attack up close, which is enjoyably terrifying in VR), the environment (much to explore and little things to pick up) and the story overall (silent protagonist and your camera is never taken from you). It's seriously the best VR game available right now.

Haven't bragged about this thing here yet. Some of you (if not everyone by now) probably know I received my Oculus Rift developer kit about two weeks back. I was amongst the first 250 orders on their Kickstarter. Right now the list of order numbers ranges to about 50.000+ and people will be waiting for their kits for months (they ship about 1200 per week at the moment).
For those who don't know what the Oculus Rift is; it's basically the start of the age of virtual reality gaming!

For a quick overview how it works, see this video demonstrating the VR mode Valve added to TF2 a while back:

There are tons of cool demonstrations already (for a list, check RiftEnabled or The Rift List). There are also drivers that add Rift capabilities to older games (think HL2, Skyrim, Mirror's Edge) although I haven't got those working properly yet. Some of the best demos are the ones created by the community right now, like the spaceship dogfighting game First Law.
The consumer version of the Rift is planned for Q3 2014 or something. First Oculus will probably release an upgraded dev kit by the end of this year. The current developer kit still has plenty to improve on; the pixel density is low, there's a noticeable screendoor effect, and it doesn't do positional tracking yet. This will all be tackled in future versions. Right now, the rotational headtracking and the 3D effect are amazing. The headset is light, and relatively cheap ($300). Everything is coming together for a real VR revolution, it'll be an exciting time for gamers

Fuck off,  How about you get your shit out of our anime thread?
Last time i checked there is no select topic in the shout box so if we make it anime you can go somewhere else you obnoxious kid.

Yes, double posting.
 
Xeim just sent me this: http://de.ign.com/preview/18488/dark-souls-ii-gameplay-enthuellung-exklusiv-auf-ign
I'm certain you want to see this

32gb of ram is insane btw i built in 8 gigs in my new pc and don't think that i need to stock up to 16

Okay lazyness > money so i raised my budget to 1550€ to build one online, sell my old stuff that still works ^^
current setup : cpu : i7 2700k
Motherboard : msi z77 mpower because it looks nice and can build in my soundcard not too close to my gpu
Gpu : gtx 680 evga
Psu : bequiet dark power pro 10 550 w
Ssd : adata 128 gb ssd premier pro Sp900
Dvd drive : Lg bh10ls
Cpu fan ; Alpenfoehn brocken
Case : Ms-tech x3 crow
Ram : 8 gig ddr1600 corsair dim

I wouldn't get a SSD seeing your budget, neither do you really really need it.
 
Would you mind linking a website where you would most likely order the parts of ?
It's easier for us to give you advice then, seeing prices and availability isn't equal everywhere.
 
Thx

So my GPU broke when i launched Battlefield, which means that i need a New one obviously. Since i still have an Old ass Intel Duo Core with 3.2 GHz i decided to get New parts alltogether meaning a New mainboard, CPU , PSU , some New Ram , ans a New GPU . Not too sure how much a SSD would benefit me in relation to it's price.
I am willing to Pay around 1000€ for everything so if you guys have any Good Part suggestions please so Not hesitate to Tell me
Gonna Take a Look at the GPU First, Since i am Kind of an NVIDIA fanboy i am Looking at either a 670 or a 680 . A Titan would Blow my Budget by itself sadly xD (
Frigging typing on iPad with frigging Auto correct so this may Look Strange .

And now let it run that smooth on those settings on my PC

If you can check the in game chat pictures I accedentilly demodded him from his faction because of [tab] mistake, it got fixed not even a second later but he decided to make a drama.

Consider it done

Well the day before yesterday I had a two-hour discussion of anime with Xeim, which frankly, quite surprised me. As I had to log off we couldn't resume the conversation which was too bad. But as with this in thought I remember the several conversations about anime I had with Clavus and the discussions in Shoutbox. So I was wondering, why is there no Anime Thread in Mr.Green? That's why this topic was born at 14th of November, 06:14(GMT).
I would like to have your opinion about this season of anime
As for mine:
Girls: Und Panzer is okay if you like Moe stuff. Kawaii desu~
K: has a nice story and reminds me a bit of Durarara!
SAO: is good as usual (because OMG VR zomg zomg)
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun: is good if you like romance though lately I have the feeling that it just cycles who loves each other.
Bakuman S3: Dang that OP. I am sad panda a bit since they don't have a anime but they will reach it!
Sakurasou: A enjoyable show if it is up your alley other than the predictable scenes.
Magi: That damn description made me think about a disney movie, boy was I wrong.
Ixion Saga DT: Tarps.
Hunter X Hunter: Can't wait for moar!
Anyway I can keep on rambling forever . I look forward to the replies.

Do you still delete an item if you try to pick smth up, but your inventory is full ? just wondering since i sometimes deleted my guns

My momma always said, fight fire with fire

Hi, This topics pretty much here to explain the changes that will be made to the arena server based on feedback I've received from talking to players, some of this you wont agree if, if that is the case just make a post saying where you disagree and we can all discuss it.
It's probably going to come as no surprise when I say the TF2 server is in need of some serious attention, For anyone who is new to the community, we used to run several TF2 servers for all game modes, but as time progressed TF2 became a lot less popular as a whole causing player count to drop and server merges and removal to occur. Upon the release of F2P the game gradually increased in popularity as a whole whilst our servers pretty much remained where they were before the update.
Since then there has been a gradual drop in player count ultimately resulting in the removal of one of the two remaining servers, the payload server. Today the only server which is still standing is Arena, The Arena server has always maintained a strong base of regular players but even now that has started to dwindle, I've spoken to both regulars and people in-game to try and find out the reasons why people are leaving and it brings up some of the age old topics.
Firstly, No crits, when you like in the chat logs for any day of the TF2 server you'll likely find someone complaining about these and whether you love the luck element or hate it, It has been one of the bigger factors in turning people off the server.
My intention here is to remove random crits from the server, what this entails is that RANDOM criticals will no longer occur You will still be able to use Crits which are caused by weapons (Jarate, Crit-A-Cola, Kritzkreig, etc.) however your weapon will no longer fire off crits at random.
People find crits a big deal as they feel that a shot that would usually deal around 45 damage instead deal over 120 damage which for most classes is an instant death, This can completely changes the flow of the game, For example, Imagine you've just started a nice 6v6 match, your team walks out of the base and is shortly confronted by a demoman, It's demoman's lucky day and he fires a nice critical grenade which hits your team for over 350 damage, This lucky crit has now caused the demoman to get first blood crits where he then precedes to coat your team in even more critical grenades leaving you in a 6v1 situation.
I understand how some people think of this as a part of the game which I too agree with and understand, however the majority of the feedback is that people don't like this situations, for many it makes them angry or annoyed causing them to leave for the day. After all it is more likely that those who don't mind crits will no doubt not mind if they are removed either.
The second thing I want to come onto is team choosing, Along with No Crits team choosing has come up just about every time as a complaint, It just doesn't belong in game modes like arena. When all of a team pile up into RED the people in BLU are never able to win and this then leads to two likely scenarios:
A ) Players from BLU leave the game, The direct effect this has is that it lowers the player count, lower player counts result in less people wanting to join the server as they are looking for near-full games to join.
B ) Players from BLU try and stack onto RED, While not causing people to directly leave it lowers the amount of players on one team making it even more one sided and when it is balanced It's more than likely that the players who were balanced will then try and stack back causing the people who originally changed team to go to BLU and the cycle repeats until A) happens or the map changes, at which point people just try and all get all back onto the RED team again.
A lot of arena servers do not have this feature and I've always thought of it as quite a unique idea here, but seeing other players reactions to this makes me think that perhaps practicality should come before individuality.
The third and final complaint I intend to correct links nicely into the second, this is autoscramble, for those who aren't too sure or just don't know about it Autoscramble is a server feature which will completely mix up teams if one team seems to be dominating another, people get bored of losing all the time and would rather play somewhere else where they may have a better chance.
I know I've gone on about past problems a lot here and I doubt I've hit all of them, those listed above are going to be changed as a little trial for next week to see if I can rack up regulars playing again, it would be appreciated that if anyone who has contact with any of the old regulars who still play TF2 could bring this topic to their attention it would be really appreciated.
Just a last word here If I've missed off anything crucial that you think needs to be changed drop a reply and we can discuss it, if others share the opinion It will be something else we can trial.
tl;dr - Go read it all
(18/10/12 23:33) Edit: Forgot double posting merged posts.

I will despise those two ghosts forever.
