Bunch of very predictable character reveals. But definately not complaining. I am curious to see who else is gonna join the fun now that we got most of the obvious folks confirmed for the roster.


Ultron-Sigma looks cool.

I hope we get a proper story mode, rather than just an arcade mode with a 10 second ending slapped on.

I like how Chris is all like "Yeah, I just saw the god of thunder get bitch-slapped by a robot that looks like he has some weird cosmic powers. Bet he won't stand up to my trusty handgun!"

I would do the same in his position. I mean if shit has already hit the fan, might as well go for broke.

I would be like "Welp...All the super heroes got fucked, might as well go for broke. Maybe I die, or maybe he dies. Who knows."

Final paper is done, first final test is done...I'm actually free for a few days...

I wonder what the outside world looks like?

Edit: It's raining outside, and apparently it's supposed to snow tomorrow.

...Love this place.

"A shadow has fallen across the galaxy. Check out the latest teaser for the future of the Warhammer 40,000 setting in the new edition. Did you see that massive rent across the middle of the galaxy? That’s new…"

"8th Edition promises to move our storyline further ahead, and most of all, bring back the real bad guys of the galaxy, Chaos to the forefront of the game again. This is long over due, and the battle between Chaos and the Imperium is what 40k is truly about."

"Welcome to the start of a new series here on the Warhammer Community site, where every day we’re going to tell you something you didn’t know about the new Warhammer 40,000. (There’s a new Warhammer 40,000 coming by the way – if you missed the memo, catch up here.) Today, we look at the new galaxy map. But you know the galaxy map right? Terra sort of in the middle-west, Eye of Terror to the north-west, Ultramar sort of south-east-ish… Think again! This is the same galaxy, but it’s showing some wear and tear. A catastrophic warp storm looks to have rent the Imperium nearly in half. Even before the Fall of Cadia, the immaterium had been growing ever more turbulent. Travel and communication suffered increasing disturbances as the events of the Gathering Storm unfolded. It seems that eventually reality could take no more, and a titanic warp-rift tore across the galaxy from the Eye of Terror to the Hadex Anomaly on the Eastern Fringe. There will be more on this new interstellar feature in the coming days. While Terra still stands at the heart of Segmentum Solar, and much of the galaxy will be familiar, there are also a few other new arrivals on the map. At a quick glance, you can see the Planet of the Sorcerers, an expanding Necron empire in the galactic east and new warp storms in every segmentum. All of these developments set up some exciting narratives for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. We’ll be back tomorrow with something else you didn’t know from the far future."

So far, the biggest enemy in Bayonetta for me, is the camera. Fucking thing focuses on EVERYTHING except the enemy I try to attack. It turns out that it's not so easy to dodge in a certain direction and wrestle the retarded camera at the same time. Seriously kills the mood for me too.

Finals report so far...
B- in the class I was very concerned about and totally sure I was gonna get a C.
184 out of 200 for final paper.
A in Native Studies class.
I still have two finals next week, but I'm fairly certain I'll be getting B's.

Then it's on to summer classes. Hoo hoo.

I had similar experiences in college, particularly with my capstone project.

In the end, I just did all the work myself. Got the best grade in the class, and made sure everyone knew who did the work. It's that or flop.

Aaaand it sucks.

Warhammer: DoW III is out. Overall opinion is "meeh". Some people love it, some hate it, most agree that 60 bucks is too much for 3 factions, a short (although apparently decently made) campaign, and a grindy as fuck multiplayer consisting of one mode and an handful of maps.

I guess I'll see if it gets decently discounted at the next summer sales, and hope in some future improvents and/or expansions. Although the fact there's apparently a fourth hidden race in the game, as said previously, makes me think we're just gonna get the one campaign and a shitton of DlC fluff to keep the multiplayer machine going.

I feel ya. I've suffered similar experiences. Really sucks when you end up doing all the work yourself, and all your attempts at communication and rational discussion with your partners are met with silence or contempt.

@Mob: Rock on, man. Sounds like you're doing what you need to be doing. Don't fuck it up like I did, heh.

@Azint: Had the same thing happen to me, which makes 4 of us now. Final assignment for Game Design course, had to make a simple game in Python, set up a team, dolled out tasks, nobody did anything. I did the entire thing myself, the night before, programming and art, and finished at like 5 AM. Sent it off to them to present to the class while I passed out. Think we got an 88 on it or something.

Similar story with me. One person screwed us all by literally not doing anything.

Shocking how little the instructors were willing to do about it.

I find it endemic among the younger students.

I've had to remind my group partners to do their part or I'll do it all, and if they tried to claim credit I would rebuke them.

They're still in High School mode.

When I brought up that my partner in the group project was contributing nothing to the instructor, they point blank told me that it was my responsibility motivate them to do it. They then said that unless if it a joint effort I would not get full marks for it. Either I submitted the work whole with my partners work included or I would get failing marks for only submitting my completed bit.

I left that office with a very low opinion of my instructor after that.

On the flip side, there was one time _I_ was the anchor, for various reasons, so I went to the professor and asked him not to let my failure drag them down. He agreed, so that worked out, they all got the grades they deserved on the project.

I'm usually the team leader...go figure.

I can't be Army Strong on these kids, so I have to coddle them. Fucks sake.

The professors from both classes I had team projects in told me to leave them behind, because they have to learn at some point.

The noble part me wouldn't let that happen, so I did the motivation thing and got the ball rolling for all but one kid. Predictably he tried to take credit for the work and got rebuked by the rest of the group.

Good times.
