You could play the entire game, and not know. That's what I did my first playthrough and wasn't impressed.

Then I started digging. Every item has a description, its like a giant puzzle. You can spend days fitting the pieces together, and deriving the history of the game. There are no "quests" not even a pause menu. You have to figure everything out by messages left by other players, or talking to NPCs.

The story of the game (In the most barebones, lore-less way) is that you are an Undead, which means you are reborn at a bonfire upon your death, but eventually you will turn "Hollow" and just be a mindless husk. You are chosen to ring the Bells of Awakening, which will eventually lead you to a Primordial Beast who tells you you need to slay the keepers of the "Lord Souls" Effectively giving you power to destroy the old King, link the bonfires, keep the flame alive and cure all humanity of the undead.

But keep in mind, if you dig enough there are multiple endings, which may stray you to believe that you were tricked into linking the bonfires.

If you get the game (Which is REALLY REALLY REALLY hard, you die like every 2 minutes) search EpicNameBro's lore on youtube. He gives a whole fuckton of insight to everything, and it's simply awe inspiring to see a game with so much detail, that you can just miss if you play it like any other game.

Not to mention it's so challenging, that you will run around your room jumping and laughing whenever you finally beat a boss, and the gameplay is amazing.

I've gone through all of those, not so much on League, although I did meet a friend of my dad's who voices Soraka and Kayle. Right now I'm just whoring myself out to dark souls

A lot of my friends talk about dark souls, what's it about?

I've started C++, but I always stop. I think it's because I always dive into it too quickly, so then it feels like I've overloaded and I stop for a long period of time, forget a lot of it, restart too quickly, repeat. I'm going to try doing a lesson or two (I have a book and found a good website) every weekend, so I have a week at a time to take in information and mess around.

There is a way to boot Windows and OSX on the same computer (not sure about Linux) via a program from Apple or a program called Parallels. It's recommended that you do it when you first get your computer so you can do a 50/50 partition. I've used up almost all of my hard drive already, so it's out of the question now. You'd need a copy of the Windows OS though, which I don't have. There's also a way to port games onto OSX without partitioning the hard drive. It's a program called CrossOver. I've tried it, and I downloaded a game (can't remember which. I think it was SCP), but every time I tried to run it, I had to do a force restart because the game would freeze and I couldn't force quit.

I've never tried Linux, and I think I will some day. I want to learn more about it, though, because I would be downloading a whole new OS and I want to make sure nothing will happen to my files/assorted things I would have on my computer.

Also, just for the sake of complaining, the trackpad/mouse on this laptop has broken twice. After I got it repaired, it broke in less than two months. Using an external mouse has made me realize I like the mouse over the trackpad/mouse, but it's annoying that it would break again.

Also, a question for you. Flash crashes at least once a week on my browser. Not sure if it's a browser issue or a computer issue. Would you happen to know why this happens?

I'm not too sure about flash, have you updated it recently? And also what web browser do you use?

Adobe's been saying I'm up to date. I use RockMelt, primarily.

Hmm, I dunno, I don't know too much about flash, maybe use a different web browser like safari for a little to see if it crashes on that

I've given up on Safari. I generally have 4+ tabs open at a time, and there's an old joke that Safari uses 1 GB of RAM per tab, so my computer might explode if I tried to do that in Safari.

I used Chrome for quite some time before I went to RockMelt (not sure why I did that. They're essentially the same browser and I don't use the Facebook integration for RockMelt). I believe it has crashed in Chrome, but not as frequently. I'll have to do a test at some point. Use Chrome for a month, then RockMelt and record the number of crashes for each browser to see if it's browser specific.

Yeah, if its not a browser thing I don't know. Its been nice talking to you, and good luck with all that.

Nice talking to you too. Good luck with your endeavors.

And what game are you currently obsessed with? haha

A few right now, katawa shoujo, I can't stop drawing hanako for some reason. League of legends, which started to boom on here a month or 2 after I started playing. And minecraft, which I've had for 2 years now.

I think the only computers that run Windows in my school are around 25-35 computers in the computer lab, and these computers (I think they're made by Lenovo) that all the math/science teachers use. The screens turns 180 degrees and become a tablet, which makes it easy for math teachers to do graphs/other math things and for science teachers to do various equations/diagrams/presentations on. By programming, do you mean command line, or the programming behind the OS? I don't know any command line programming (although I have copy and pasted some code to run a few programs), or OS programming for that matter.

You're right about the customization thing. The only thing I could change was the RAM, but Apple doesn't even sell RAM for my model at extraordinarily high prices. Apparently, they stop selling it after a year and a half after the model comes out, maybe less. My model only comes with 2 GB, and I would like to have 4 (I have a Minecraft server, but I rarely put it up because I can't run any other programs when it's open, or my computer overheats and the server lags. I can barely run it now), but it's not a big complaint.

I also upgraded my OS, and Apple hid the Library directory, which has access to almost all of the files you need for games. I think they did it because there may or may not be files in there that let you mess around with the computer, and we all know how Apple feels about that. They do little things too. Holding down a key no longer just repeats the stroke, and you have to go into the command line, type in something I can't remember that changes this, and restart the computer. Again, a minor complain, but there are only so many minor complaints you can make before they form a major complaint.

Yeah, I meant command line. I've modded minecraft a couple of times, and started writing some other things in java and c++ that I never really got around to. I'm thinking about setting up to run my computer so I can just activate everything I want to using my voice, which would take a while but it would make everything so much easier.

I think theres a way to load linux windows and osx onto the same computer, but I think it would take up some decent space for it. It would pretty much give you the best of everything, having to just reboot everytime you want to go to another os.
Have you ever tried linux? I tried loading it onto an old laptop of mine but the little fucker won't read any discs I put into it

I don't play games on PC as much as I do on console simply because in my younger years I had a PS2, and did 99% of my gaming on that, so naturally, being more grown up, I prefer the console. That's not to say I don't enjoy the gaming I now do on PC. My friends and I frequently play GMod, Minecraft, Frozen Synapse (on occasion), and plenty of other games.

I'm sure the Xbox does do somethings better than the PC, and I'm sure the PC does some things better than the Xbox. As far as the content above goes, I have a Mac. When I got it, gaming was not a priority of mine (well, PC gaming wasn't). Macs are the dominant computer in school, so I was leaning more towards having a Mac than a Windows-based computer (although I am fully capable of using both. I might need to do some practice to look for some files on Windows, though. I haven't done game modding on Windows, but I'm sure it's not that difficult). Now that I would like access to more games on my computer, when this laptop kicks the bucket, I think I'm going to get a Windows-based computer. I may still use this Mac for more creative outlets (a possible career I'd like to pursue is filmmaking, and I'm comfortable with Final Cut Pro, but I could probably learn to use Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas), but as far as overall use, everything I do on here can (for the most part) be done on a Windows-based computer.

I just don't see what all the fuss is about.

Sorry for the length.

No problem, I like seeing what other people that aren't asses about it think of macs. I've had to use macs in school up until high school, where most of them are now windows 7, and think that they are better for media type things, like looking at pictures, making/watching videos, music, stuff like that. I could use a mac, the thing I mainly don't like about it is that it doesn't have many games made for it, and doesn't look as customizable. Also the programming looks a bit more difficult on it, but that doesn't look like its anything important to most people.
Also, Sony vegas is pretty nice, I've played around with it on the trial and it makes videos look pretty good.

I'm not too tech savvy. I have a friend that is, and he constantly tells me things that I just have to nod my head and say "cool." He talks about various Linux-based OSs, or graphics cards. I'll get more educated on it one day.

yeah, i'm not the best either, but I can atleast figure out whats good and whats not.

I think they did it because there may or may not be files in there that let you mess around with the computer, and we all know how Apple feels about that. They do little things too. Holding down a key no longer just repeats the stroke, and you have to go into the command line, type in something I can't remember that changes this, and restart the computer. Again, a minor complain, but there are only so many minor complaints you can make before they form a major complaint.

Yeah, I meant command line. I've modded minecraft a couple of times, and started writing some other things in java and c++ that I never really got around to. I'm thinking about setting up to run my computer so I can just activate everything I want to using my voice, which would take a while but it would make everything so much easier.

I think theres a way to load linux windows and osx onto the same computer, but I think it would take up some decent space for it. It would pretty much give you the best of everything, having to just reboot everytime you want to go to another os.
Have you ever tried linux? I tried loading it onto an old laptop of mine but the little fucker won't read any discs I put into it

I've started C++, but I always stop. I think it's because I always dive into it too quickly, so then it feels like I've overloaded and I stop for a long period of time, forget a lot of it, restart too quickly, repeat. I'm going to try doing a lesson or two (I have a book and found a good website) every weekend, so I have a week at a time to take in information and mess around.

There is a way to boot Windows and OSX on the same computer (not sure about Linux) via a program from Apple or a program called Parallels. It's recommended that you do it when you first get your computer so you can do a 50/50 partition. I've used up almost all of my hard drive already, so it's out of the question now. You'd need a copy of the Windows OS though, which I don't have. There's also a way to port games onto OSX without partitioning the hard drive. It's a program called CrossOver. I've tried it, and I downloaded a game (can't remember which. I think it was SCP), but every time I tried to run it, I had to do a force restart because the game would freeze and I couldn't force quit.

I've never tried Linux, and I think I will some day. I want to learn more about it, though, because I would be downloading a whole new OS and I want to make sure nothing will happen to my files/assorted things I would have on my computer.

Also, just for the sake of complaining, the trackpad/mouse on this laptop has broken twice. After I got it repaired, it broke in less than two months. Using an external mouse has made me realize I like the mouse over the trackpad/mouse, but it's annoying that it would break again.

Also, a question for you. Flash crashes at least once a week on my browser. Not sure if it's a browser issue or a computer issue. Would you happen to know why this happens?

I'm not too sure about flash, have you updated it recently? And also what web browser do you use?

Adobe's been saying I'm up to date. I use RockMelt, primarily.

Hmm, I dunno, I don't know too much about flash, maybe use a different web browser like safari for a little to see if it crashes on that

I've given up on Safari. I generally have 4+ tabs open at a time, and there's an old joke that Safari uses 1 GB of RAM per tab, so my computer might explode if I tried to do that in Safari.

I used Chrome for quite some time before I went to RockMelt (not sure why I did that. They're essentially the same browser and I don't use the Facebook integration for RockMelt). I believe it has crashed in Chrome, but not as frequently. I'll have to do a test at some point. Use Chrome for a month, then RockMelt and record the number of crashes for each browser to see if it's browser specific.

Yeah, if its not a browser thing I don't know. Its been nice talking to you, and good luck with all that.

Nice talking to you too. Good luck with your endeavors.

That's like when I have friends over, and they bring their computers over, the Internet will occasionally go down, and it's my fault. Not the fact that they're using up a metric shit-ton of bandwidth, but just because it's my Internet.

Yeah, I'm just glad that most of my friends know what the fuck they're doing

I'm not too tech savvy. I have a friend that is, and he constantly tells me things that I just have to nod my head and say "cool." He talks about various Linux-based OSs, or graphics cards. I'll get more educated on it one day.

yeah, i'm not the best either, but I can atleast figure out whats good and whats not.

I generally can.

My one friend, who plays nothing but Cod all day, talks to me all the time about how the xbox is superior to the pc in gaming, since it has more games. It pisses me off the most because I'm pretty sure steam alone has more games for the pc than the xbox has in general.

I don't play games on PC as much as I do on console simply because in my younger years I had a PS2, and did 99% of my gaming on that, so naturally, being more grown up, I prefer the console. That's not to say I don't enjoy the gaming I now do on PC. My friends and I frequently play GMod, Minecraft, Frozen Synapse (on occasion), and plenty of other games.

I'm sure the Xbox does do somethings better than the PC, and I'm sure the PC does some things better than the Xbox. As far as the content above goes, I have a Mac. When I got it, gaming was not a priority of mine (well, PC gaming wasn't). Macs are the dominant computer in school, so I was leaning more towards having a Mac than a Windows-based computer (although I am fully capable of using both. I might need to do some practice to look for some files on Windows, though. I haven't done game modding on Windows, but I'm sure it's not that difficult). Now that I would like access to more games on my computer, when this laptop kicks the bucket, I think I'm going to get a Windows-based computer. I may still use this Mac for more creative outlets (a possible career I'd like to pursue is filmmaking, and I'm comfortable with Final Cut Pro, but I could probably learn to use Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas), but as far as overall use, everything I do on here can (for the most part) be done on a Windows-based computer.

I just don't see what all the fuss is about.

Sorry for the length.

No problem, I like seeing what other people that aren't asses about it think of macs. I've had to use macs in school up until high school, where most of them are now windows 7, and think that they are better for media type things, like looking at pictures, making/watching videos, music, stuff like that. I could use a mac, the thing I mainly don't like about it is that it doesn't have many games made for it, and doesn't look as customizable. Also the programming looks a bit more difficult on it, but that doesn't look like its anything important to most people.
Also, Sony vegas is pretty nice, I've played around with it on the trial and it makes videos look pretty good.

I think the only computers that run Windows in my school are around 25-35 computers in the computer lab, and these computers (I think they're made by Lenovo) that all the math/science teachers use. The screens turns 180 degrees and become a tablet, which makes it easy for math teachers to do graphs/other math things and for science teachers to do various equations/diagrams/presentations on. By programming, do you mean command line, or the programming behind the OS? I don't know any command line programming (although I have copy and pasted some code to run a few programs), or OS programming for that matter.

You're right about the customization thing. The only thing I could change was the RAM, but Apple doesn't even sell RAM for my model at extraordinarily high prices. Apparently, they stop selling it after a year and a half after the model comes out, maybe less. My model only comes with 2 GB, and I would like to have 4 (I have a Minecraft server, but I rarely put it up because I can't run any other programs when it's open, or my computer overheats and the server lags. I can barely run it now), but it's not a big complaint.

I didn't know my PC determines how much Internet I get. I always thought it was based on your ISP, but y'know, that's just me.

Yeah, he says "Oh yeah, it comes with a better program for internet".
I just get chrome anyway, and so does he, so I don't really see a point in it.
He's not really good at computers, so he probably thinks his internet is based on how good his computer is.

Eh, I don't have too many images. This one, for instance, I still haven't even finished. It's been almost a year since I last put a pencil to it. Mechanical symmetry is almost as big of a hassle as hands are, hence why I seem to have given up on the gun.

Ah, it passed the 24 hour mark. And here I was ready to get the ball rolling.

Yeah, you can go ahead, I was expecting to get more hate like what the anon said down there, and I would dump with you but I don't have any.
