I don't own MHW and have only played a few hours of a previous title, but I'm pretty sure the movement speed and stamina mechanics aren't dumb gameplay mistakes. My understanding is that they allow/demand a more thoughtful pace that rewards planning and detail.
Not being able to rebind keys is pretty rough though.

| Glad I watched the trailer and skimmed the blurb, I thought it was just a remaster and was mildly interested. But with the new camera and engine, this sounds great! I never finished Nemesis but getting chased by him in 1st person also sounds scary fun. |

Agreed, I've been interested in the game since launch and the non-upgradeable Starter Edition bothered me every time I looked.
I'm glad the game is maintaining or growing its player base though, just to preserve the interesting mechanics. I was worried it would disappear and we'd have to wait a decade for someone to try again. I do wish it had a better publisher... |

What's your preferred brand or mix?
Behr - Padre Brown.
Is there any particular reason? Out of all the samples I tried, Behr was the one I liked the least. The way it looked and applied, it seemed almost like colored glue and dried as a film with little to no penetration of the wood. I'm pretty new to this though so I don't have much to compare to. |

I'm in the same situation regarding deck stain. Here in the Northwest we go from too hot to apply (at least according to the 90 degrees listed on the can) to pouring rain. After waiting for a month, it looks like I finally have a window this week.
What's your preferred brand or mix? |

| That movie trailer blueprint video was done by Auralnauts, to whom I have to give a shout-out. I find their short edits of the Star Wars movies starring party animal dance-fighting Jedis to be utterly hilarious although an altered state of mind may be required. |

| Agreed that they probably still see value in keeping him around for a bit longer. Regarding Pence, I'm not a fan of his positions either but ousting Trump is the right thing to do even though it might mean legislative pain for some of us. |

Blue, have you tried BuildZoom at all? We've been using it to find a contractor for our project and it seems decent, like a more focused and hands-on alternative to Angie's List. You can browse licensed contractors and see how many permitted projects they've completed in your area, or submit a project description and have interested contractors contact you.
It doesn't solve the availability problem though, as everyone's schedules seem completely full, so we might both be SOL. |

...currently the top players in the beta use m/kb. If you want an example, arteezy a pro gamer with over a million dollars in tournament winnings streams it often and he teams up w/ / plays against some of the best players currently in the game and he specifically said he was gonna buy the gamepad to be better and was told not to do that.
So maybe lay off the literally made me LOL bs a bit when you clearly don't know what you are talking about
I might be confused by your wording, but it seems like your supporting evidence would be a lot stronger if the pro gamer person in the story actually agreed with you. Instead he says controller is better but someone tells him "nuh uh!"
Apparently you thought that line of reasoning was so unassailable that merely quoting it here for others would not only convince them, but would justify an extra helping of trash talk.
So watch out, thecakeisalie, apparently one guy told this other guy "not to do that" so clearly you are full of shit. |

For some reason, in this instance, I actually believe the developers or at least want to give them the benefit of the doubt. It seems possible with their wording and non-native English skills that they really did want a review that didn't knock off lots of points simply for not meeting the polish of previous AAA titles.
Obviously reviews HAVE to incorporate that stuff to some degree because people are paying (possible equivalent) amounts of money for a game but if they account for that metadata too much, their review quickly loses accuracy as time moves on. An example being a game scoring well simply for "best graphics ever" would appear outright incorrect a couple years later. Reviews focusing on gameplay quality maintain their accuracy much longer. |

I have a Zenfone 2 I've been pretty happy with. No real bugs encountered but I'm also still waiting on them to update Android. It is slightly too large for me however, so I'm disappointed the new lineup doesn't show signs of shrinkage.
Curious about prices as well, since I'm pretty sure Intel was subsidizing Atom devices to gain market share. |

I've used a pair of the yellow computer glasses for a few years with no complaints and felt it generally helped with brightness and possibly contrast. I frequently use a space heater which is sometimes in my field of vision and the glasses definitely helped make that brightness comfortable/tolerable.
Got my first vision prescription a year or so ago and opted for the glare coating which might do much the same thing.
And of course f.lux and changing display brightness and tint also can help. I have no (noticed) eye strain but also have horrible sleep patterns so I can't vouch for that part. |

Ditto, although Action Half Life ranked high for my circle as well. Crowbar goon squad in Sven, though, good times...
Regarding the original campaign, I remember it mostly working at least for the first...half, maybe, of the game (LAN party always moved on or ended before we could get further). Sometimes we had to manually load/skip levels using the console due to broken map loading triggers. |

FYI, in software dev. The latest non-daily release is labelled "stable".
It's convention to call it " stable", likely stemming from how 'at the time that they release it' its the most stable of the recent dailies.
However, the title "stable" is not a description of the software's actual stability or instability - it just means 'not a daily'.
This isn't a CIG thing, its a naming convention throughout software dev.
-scheherazade
FYI, not true at all. Stable means stable. Stable builds receive more testing and remain in place through many daily builds. It's not merely some slightly older build.
If you are actually in software development and follow this practice then I fear for your customers and you would be doing a service to the public to name your employer. |

I think it's not considered journalism because it's just the flipside of hyping upcoming games. A "potentially popular upcoming release" doesn't have anything at all, it doesn't exist. It is potential. But true or not, it got you to click. Very much like a tabloid.
An upcoming game with shit for content isn't exactly newsworthy because reviews of the finished product are what count. It should get the same consideration that we give to gushing hype pieces of upcoming games.
Game that hasn't come out yet doesn't have a lot of content! News at 11!
Not exactly a scoop.
Flatline said it well in an earlier post, this blacklisting is a good thing. Not because anyone favors/hates Kotaku or the publishers (though they may for various reasons) but because many of us wish the gaming press would cease focusing so much on the future. There are more than enough games, patches, mods, and events to keep them busy. And if something interesting occurs regarding an in-development title, sure write it up as with Star Citizen.
But as it is, when they focus so much on previewing future games, or beating official announcements, they become part of the hype whether they want to or not. They shouldn't care about needing "access."
