Bethesda's Battlecry is fucked: http://progressbar.com.au/2015/10/whats-happened-to-battlecry/

Not that Bethesda's E3 Show was anything special.. but when they showed Battlecry at E3.. I literally cringed.. It was so weak compared to everything else (DOOM... DISHONORED... FALLOUT 4 *explosions* ) then this piece of crap.
Massive incline if they give this turd the axe. good find infinitron.

It is very unusual for Bethesda to publicly admit this kind of thing. So unusual that other sites had to verify it independently, but apparently it's true. Those guys are in trouble.

For some reason I feel like justice has been served. That dev team has been spinning their wheels for years on this trash.
Burn it down.

I think giving a 2 year old an iPad might be the bigger issue.

I'm glad I started playing games when in saner times.

I learned a year ago that they started allowing students at my old secondary school to take their laptops to class, when before you could only do that if you had a legitimate physical ailment that made writing difficult for you and a latter from the headmaster confirming it. Only person in the whole school I know of who got that was a guy with a metabolism defect which made tiny and as thin as a rake.

What a strange world we're going in to.

Last week I was talking to a parent of a kid entering year 7 next year who is required to have a laptop for class. If you don't provide one the school will loan you a crappy netbook. Needless to say we both found it completely ridiculous for that age, but there you go.

 

[Excidium II]

lol that's p. absurd. I study IS and I don't even need to carry a laptop, any kind of class that requires computer is done on the lab. The fuck a school kid needs it for?

Sounds like stupid school marketing "mah son is gonna be the next steve jobs" kind of deal.

Year 7 seems kinda reasonable no? It's not like they are saying they will be using the laptop for the whole 6 hours. Even back in my day (yeah not that long ago) 17-18 years ago, there were required basic computer classes once a week for an hour. To a certain degree that has to go up as computer use in everyday life has gone up, also the danger of uniformed computer/net use has gone up.

Maybe 1 to two hours a day, 3-4 days a week is something I could understand. Besides at this point writing on paper is basically a dead skill anyway, you've got maybe one more generation that will bother to use it in tests before the whole thing switches over to keyboards and screens. With the right setup it will be easier to monitor (huehue) and maybe even allow for semi real time questions to prevent cheating.

Edit: Hell doesn't England have compulsory codding classes in primary schools now? That level of education has almost always been useless skills and trivia that are more about teaching kids how to learn rather than specific important ideas. It's secondary school where they basically reboot, make sure you understand the basics of numbers/science/English in the first year and then actually start to teach more complex things.

Writing yes. Sketching nope. You may say tablets but tablets are relatively expensive and less comfortable than pen and paper.

I remember a retard saying "yay, I'll write all my notes on laptop in uni!" and then he took his first algebra lecture.

 

[Jasede]

Everyone in my school does take their notes on a laptop. Either they have something like a Surface and write with a stylus or they TeX the notes as they take them.

Yes.

Yes.

The nice part is that you can sync trello or other note taking software so everything will be saved online and can be accessed by phone or other electronic devices.
Pretty handy when shopping or trying to check back on the notes.
Nice categorization too.
Better than paper notes that can go missing or stored faraway from the person who currently need it.
Also vastly easier to share notes and be popular due to it.

So I don't really understand complaints other than old farts people whining over young people using and talking about things they don't understand.
Just like old farts golden citizens two decades earlier did to them I guess.

The safest way to keep notes is writing on an actual notebook with a lead pencil. That way, if it gets wet for some reason, you don't lose what you wrote. Ink would get fucked up if that happened.

 

[Darth Roxor]

I remember how fucking infuriating it was when some wise-ass cunt would take a laptop to a lecture, and all I would hear was the distracting torrent of constant TAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAP

 

[JarlFrank]

Only thing I use my laptop for during seminars is to read texts because I can't be arsed to print them.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

I have disgraphia and always had problems writing at school. Slow and painful.

i've found that typing out notes doesn't help me remember it the same way writing does.

Looks at dat. In few days lula and hunie pop will be first on list.

Why don't they change their name to "Good Games"

 

[Naveen]

They did... sort of. GOG is just "gog", not Good Old Games anymore.

These games lead the way on our the transition from Good Old Games to simply GOG.com. It doesn’t matter what G, O, and G stand for, Gee Oh Gee dot com stands for high-quality, DRM-free gaming, each week with bigger and newer games.
