    Where does money come from .. explained

    What makes it required, other than the fact that everyone believes in it? As far as I can tell, this system has been in place and forced down our throats since we all were born. Being subjected to something like that from every angle since birth makes it hard to imagine any other way of life -...

    Where does money come from .. explained

    A start would be making economics and politics a mandatory subject in schools, considering how much of a significant affect they have on our society, the entire nation should have at a minimum a basic understanding of how they work. Schools for the most part educate the masses to accept...

    Any Knowledgable Gaming Savvy PC People?

    May not be the best with computers but I'ld like to think I wouldn't fit things in with a hammer lol. So the general consensus is the PC I was looking at in the OP is a no no? This one .. and that's based on the Graphics Card? Everything else is up to par?

    Any Knowledgable Gaming Savvy PC People?

    Thanks for the input. Budget is around £500, as I also need a wireless mouse and keyboard. I would prefer not to build it myself, as then I'm held responsible if something breaks. Not to sure about somewhere that could build it for me, but I'm sure there will be somewhere that can. - Ideally I...

    Don't really wanna spend more than £500. I also need to get a wireless mouse and keyboard. I'm looking to get Thief and Elder Scrolls Online. Other than that I'll mostly be playing RTS games and the odd FPS. 48 Frames will be fine as long as everything is running smoothly.

    I'm not good with specs, what I know about what I'm looking for I found here. I just wanted other peoples input before I went and blew cash on something I'm not particularly familiar with.

    Any Knowledgable Gaming Savvy PC People?

    If I'm not very good with specs .. what makes you think I possess the ability to make my own PC? lol. I wouldn't know where to start, what to do, and I would have nothing to fall back on if it didn't work, it would be my own fault. Also, I don't even know what onboard GPU is lol.

    I'm looking to get myself a gaming PC, but unfortunately I'm not very good with what specs I should want n such. I'll be using this TV as a monitor: Here I don't want to break the bank, and have been looking at this system as my first gaming PC: Here From what I can tell, it doesn't look too...

    I know (with Trait) you can block, absorb the follow up attack and combo punish. I'm not gonna spend a bar of meter to pushblock someone's Wakeup attack after I've knocked them down, what kind of stupidness is that lol. I'm hoping jump back 3 might stuff it, will have to check.

    Tech Lex Luthor Standing Reset / Auto Stand / Anti Wakeup

    Ok just got in and tested. Probe block, CC Block is disadvantage of CC. Probes block advantage does not seem to stack if it hits during another moves block advantage. Had a bit of a brain fart earlier, what I meant by Probe covering your CC, is that you time the recovery frames of CC to...

    Tech Lex Luthor Standing Reset / Auto Stand / Anti Wakeup

    Ah, never knew that. I haven't been punished the few times I've CC into Probe, ill have to let the people I play know. Ill be home soon to check some things out. Does that mean it only doesn't stack if the Probe hits last? For instance, Probe blocked, immediately followed by CC blocked.

    Tech Lex Luthor Standing Reset / Auto Stand / Anti Wakeup

    Naked Probe will hit, allowing for a combo conversion. PLAYING TO W1N The threat of this tech isn't (IMO) from a jumping attack, as if the jump attack hits you could just full combo anyway, but instead the threat comes from a grounded Corp Charge. If the CC is blocked the Probe is covering your...

    Match-up Discussion Lex Luthor Matchup Discussion (Version 1.06)

    You can jump over the Bolas. If you're full screen, as soon as you hear that distinctive blip of Bola startup, you can wait for her to release and easily jump. Bolas have a lot of recovery on whiff, and a pretty long startup. Mid screen jump into Corp Charge punishes whiffed Bola, and can even...

    "Must I remind you of my superiority?" - Lex Luthor General Discussion (Version 1.06)

    The timing between Ji3, land, 21 has nothing to do with the Xbox controller, I promise you. Things like the Back Forward, and Down Back motions are easily screwed by Xbox DPads tho. Plugged in my standard control and did it just fine too.

    "Must I remind you of my superiority?" - Lex Luthor General Discussion (Version 1.06)

    I use a fight pad, which is essentially the same as a standard Xbox control but with a bigger DPad. Stick/control will have 0 affect on the timing of combos. :p

    "Must I remind you of my superiority?" - Lex Luthor General Discussion (Version 1.06)

    Some of the corner shenanigans Lex can do after the U3~Corp Charge Hard Knockdown: I probably should of voiced over some of that, but for newer players every Corp Charge in this video safely leads into Trait. With Trait active and the Corpse Charge Knockdown, MB Orbital Strike/Full Charged...

    Tech Lex Luthor Standing Reset / Auto Stand / Anti Wakeup

    x5STAR Ok some interesting (odd) properties of this attack. Unlike a Probe by itself, the hitstun from CC into Probe will not allow any combo-able follow ups, everything can be blocked. This means the best you get after this hits is a high/low/throw mixup from the Probes hitstun. Mines can be...
