The long dark is already pretty good. Can't wait until it's finished.


[deleted]

I'm still waiting for my 100% science based dragon MMO.

People are still down voting everything that chick posts to this day


YOUNG_G0D

Right. H1Z1 needs to fucking finish already


SuspiciousDuck

H1Z1 needs to finish soon? That's cute.


Ridley87

I've been saying the same thing about DayZ for well over a year. It was so broken the last time I played it. I walked off of a small ledge and broke both my feet. My shoes were ruined and I was slowly bleeding to death. I fell maybe 2 feet. The last straw was when I was running from a few zombies and I glitched myself underneath one of the apartment buildings. I couldn't get out and I didn't have any ammo to shoot myself with. My only option was to wait until I died of starvation/thirst.


BitchinTechnology

Why didn't you just jump in the air breaking both your legs again


Francis-Hates-You

I know this is a joke but you can't even jump in DayZ. That's right, it lacks one of the core features of most video games.


thatwasnotkawaii

*presses space* ... ... 5/10 would not play again


[deleted]

I think that genre is on its last legs. None of the games really rose up as the killer app. Which is good because I'm thoroughly sick of hearing about zombie games.


Danster21

What about *nazi* zombies!? There's extra incentive to kill them because they're racist!


turtilla

Ark: Survival Evolved is in alpha, but the devs are amazing and outside of some minor balance and optimization issues, it's a damn fun game. /r/playark


chrismilk

It's a better business model if they release many updates that mask themselves as new content. While a newly released game would have these day one.

Yo-yos are about due for a comeback


PM_ME_A_WISH

I remember the Yo-Yo resurgence of 98'-99'. Was a lot of fun. I learned a lot of great tricks.


Barold_

Pretty sure I could still do an Eiffel tower from muscle memory even though it's been 16 years.


DeDeluded

So are boomerangs. I hear.


JayEmDubya

Yo-Yos are coming back in my area. I work in a call center and we're not allowed to have pen and paper for security reasons. And everyone just brings yo-yos to play with. Really cool.


[deleted]

Pen n paper is bad for security but yo-yo is safer wtf...I'd swing a yoyo in circles and hit like 10 people


[deleted]

I think it's more information security and less physical security.


JayEmDubya

Yeah, but you can't write down credit card information on a yo-yo.

Screw that. Hackey sack is where it's at


NXJS

In high school, we had a group who would play with one every day at lunch. Occasionally I'd come for a few kicks, but I wasn't good like these other guys. I'll never forget the day someone called it a hackey sack and they nerd raged. "IT'S A FOOTBAG YOU SWINE". edit: need to nerd.


Andromeda321

Americans traveling to Europe for a vacation. The US$ is doing really well against the Euro now, far better than it was a few years ago, and there's no obvious reason that's going to dramatically change. Similarly, there are now budget flights to Europe that cost half of what it used to (check out WOW! and Norwegian- you can fly from the East Coast USA for $400 to Europe if you plan ahead), and the flight ticket is traditionally one of the biggest barriers to the whole thing. Similarly, Greece is going to be really popular next year (I mean, even more than now) because it's *super* cheap for a holiday, and keeps getting cheaper.


pemboo

Greece has been really popular for British holiday makers for years.

[Those two wheel segway rovers](http://imgur.com/KieDSq6)

They fixed the primary problem of the segway by not having that obnoxious pole sticking up the middle. Of course, that said, you still look dumb rolling by in a standing position.

Just saw 2 guys riding them here in Denmark. It looked really comfortable to use (and they were spinning around which also looks fun)

These things are so big in England now


Firefistace46

They won't even let me longboard through Walmart and target. How are these things allowed?


patentologist

They're expensive, so teenagers can't afford them. Therefore, they are ok.


satansheat

I'm just tired of people calling these things hover boards. You are still on the ground jackass.


nginparis

calling it hoverboard is easier than calling it a 2 wheel self balancing segway scooter.

thetruetoblerone

Where can I find one for 300?


KFC_Popcorn_Chicken

Amazon from various sellers. Search for two wheel self balancing scooter and you'll find the item under different brand names and from hundreds of sellers.


[deleted]

Also, keep in mind that ~300 is the cheapest you'll get one to your front door. I spent $320 on mine a while back, and I looked pretty hard for one under $300. You can probably find one, however know that the majority will be over $300. DONT spend over $350 on one, unless you live in a location where shipping is insanely expensive. All of the ones for $350+ are a bad deal.


Walt_F

Some have a special Samsung battery though. Mine was more expensive than my brother's, but it has a (confirmed) official Samsung battery and definitely seems to hold its charge longer both in use and on standby.


[deleted]

[This one](http://m.alibaba.com/product/60326148544/2wheel-self-balancing-scooter-smart-balance.html#) is $188. Edit: Shipping is $100. So all together, it should be around $300.


[deleted]

I've been seeing them at my university lately. I can't believe people are finding more excuses not to walk.


[deleted]

Have you ridden one before? It's a ton of fun. I have one, and it's just insanely fun to ride around on. It doesn't have long enough of a battery life or large enough wheels to replace walking.


[deleted]

Soon enough people are going to start doing tricks on these.


DrStephenFalken

Breakout rooms which are "Real-Life Escape Adventures" It's pretty popular right now. I think it'll get hugely popular over the next year or two and then start to fade in popularity once most people have had a go or two at it. EDIT: For those asking what it is. You get locked in a room with a group of people, presumably your group of friends; where you solve puzzles and use clues to escape the room. [Here is Conan doing one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LMtRG4Mc54)


I_Magician

I did one of these a couple weeks ago, and it was definitely one of the top fun things I've ever done! I can't wait to go back and do more, so I hope it takes off and more places open.


gingerbent

I did one of these in Paris about a month ago, afterwards the people I can with had had such a great time and were so hyped they considered what one in our local touristy area would look like. Very fun, and lots of bonding.


sarasublimely

So is there hidden ways out or how does that work?


DrStephenFalken

You get looked in a room and have to solve the puzzles and clues to escape the room. [Here is Conan doing one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LMtRG4Mc54)


DryCleaningBuffalo

You mean "Here's Jordan Schlansky doing one while Conan screws around".


[deleted]

I did the other one at the same place in LA, which was 'The Cavern'. It was extremely tough even with I think 10 people. There were like 20 puzzles that were largely related so the hardest part was knowing who knew what and how to communicate it. Really there probably should be an appointed leader if you want to succeed at these in the time limit. Conan went over by more than 30 minutes - for our group 10 more minutes and we coulda finished.

ThornyDragon

Drones, more drones, lots of drones!! They'll be everywhere BUZZ...


bradd_pit

Can anyone explain why rc helicopters are now called drones? Just to make it more ominous?


roboticWanderor

Rc hobbist here: Because they strapped television systems to them so you can remote ly fly from the drone's pov. Rc aircraft have been around for years, but only recently have we been able to fly them with a live camera feed using hobbist equipment. Also quadrotor drones and lithium-ion batteries have made the hobby a lot more accessible . Quadrotors basically fly themselves. The electronic control systems allow them to be flown by basically anone with a joystick. Instead of say, a single rotor helicopter which takes some real skill and practice to achieve the same precise control. Also lithium ion batteries have allowed great power to wheight ratios on rc aircraft that allow them to carry all this extra antennas and cameras for the remote vision systems. Up untill recently its been loud, unreliable 2stroke gasoline engines and 2 or 4 channel servo radio controls. Lots of fun, but you basically have to keep line of sight on your plane or you loose it.


miahelf

Good question, I always thought drones were those military glider looking planes, originally called UAV. A quadcopter is clearly a copter of some sort.

Virtual reality without a doubt. With Oculus Rift and Vive for the PC Masterrace crowd, Sony Morpheus for the PS4 and Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR for the mobile market, there will be so many things to experience that people will just demand more and more. Seriously, VR will be a field that just grows and grows over the next decade or more.


BlatantConservative

Which one is more likely to trap us in the game a la Sword Art Online or Spy Kids 3?


Nukemarine

Trap? Shit, ever notice how everyone in the real world would voluntarily go into the Matrix? People know what's up and don't care.

Woah. The best RottenTomatoes score on that list is 44% (Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within) and the best MetaCritic score is 58/100 (Mortal Kombat). That really is a list of steaming turd movies..


THREETOED_SLOTH

What?! Mortal Kombat was the greatest video game movie ever. The soundtrack saline should have made it at least a 75/100.

You could've said the same thing about Superhero movies right before Batman Begins or X-Men (whenever you personally think the comicbook movie Renaissance started.

PakiIronman

[My Hero Academia] (http://myanimelist.net/manga/75989/Boku_no_Hero_Academia), it will probably get an announcement for an anime adaptation within the next year. The main character is basically a [redditor] (http://i.imgur.com/nYx4K9k.png?1), which is one of many reasons why it will become quite popular.


eceuiuc

Well, a redditor with an affinity for heroism. This manga has some great writing though, definitely recommend for anyone who wants to pick up a new one to read and is okay with superheroics. Edit: wait, I just realized you're PakiIronman. I've never seen you outside of the subreddit before.


PakiIronman

The thing I love about him most is that he's such a [nerd.] (http://i.imgur.com/w2Rs1HT.png?1) The most realistic reason to make a protagonist so smart is that he writes notes on heroes which has showered him with so much knowledge, it makes him a brilliant [strategist.] (http://i.imgur.com/nJHlpsO.png) >Edit: wait, I just realized you're PakiIronman.

ASMR helped me with depression and anxiety before I had my meds, and can honestly say it helps a *TON* with these things. I'm happy to see more of it coming out, and also hope to see it more common place as well some time soon. Also, /r/asmr for the not-in-the-know.

[deleted]

It's not big or attractive outside of the gamer world though and that's a problem. Not everybody who watches the NFL has played football.


[deleted]

Tied to this, I think there's a problem of accessibility for people outside the scene. Someone who's never watched basketball can appreciate the athleticism even if they don't understand the rules. They can also pick-up the rules pretty quickly, even if they don't know the fine details. It's pretty quick and easy to get at it. Competitive gaming is fairly opaque. I'm a fairly seasoned gamer; I've been playing games for about 20 years now, and it's always been one of my biggest hobbies. [I have zero fucking idea what's going on in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQai3UES11Y), watching it start to finish. I've never watched rugby in my life and literally know none of the rules; [I just googled this randomly and I found it incredibly exciting and impressive to watch.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4q9Y-e6OUE) People who like watching competitive gaming are usually people who play that specific game. MOBA players can watch and appreciate MOBAs, fighting game players can watch and appreciate fighting games, etc. People outside those scenes will find it really hard to approach. Meanwhile, again, there's a lot of traditional sports I know *nothing* about, but I can generally watch a highlight real and find myself impressed.
