  1. Other podcasts

    I found the extreme oddness of that man and the rest of the casts reaction to his stories and preferences quite fun. I would not want to attend a dinner at his home though
  2. I Had A Random Thought...

    Assumptions are dangerous, but I think what Merus might be saying is that the police where ever he is located do not generally publicly endorse politicians? That's how it is here anyway, police officers are not public figures in that way. They only ever come out to speak to the public in reaction to larger criminal events and the like. Of course they still have political opinions, and most probably voice them, but I've never heard of anyone ever "endorsing" a political party. Neither have I heard about any principals, teachers or doctors doing it.
  3. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Hello new people! I'm starting to suspect Chris is running some kind of script that replies in this thread every X replies...
  4. Yeah, it's sort of bittersweet. It's nice for someone with my anxieties but it's also something that I feel hinders the creation of communities. If no-one's talking no one is connecting. I guess on the PC people are still using text-chats to a certain degree, but on the console side of these shooters there is little to no communication. Of course, if the alternative is someone screaming expletives at me then I don't mind if no-one speaks in a MP game again
  5. I found that I'm the same. In games with matchmaking the actual interaction between the different players is so minimal to the degree that you could pretty much just be playing against bots. I've never had anyone in the games of Halo or Battlefield 4 even try to use voice comms or communicate in any other way. The only difference really is that I get far more annoyed when a human player named "xXxFireSkullShadowBladezxXx" kills me for the third straight time.

    What a beautiful photo of a hideous beast. Well done!
  7. The Fanart Collective

    I didn't know there were other professors beside Prof. Oak.
  8. Ah yes! Megwin! The 100 hours without sleep challenge and vending machine challenges were pretty good as well!
  9. Is anyone else strangely excited for the new Firewatch game?
  10. Idle Thumbs Animated

    Oh, that was just fantastic!
  11. Beyond Good and Evil 2

    I can unequivocally say that you fixed my post there. Well done! Good, it's about time Tarsier got that game out! It's been so many years now.
  12. Endorsements only appear on the profile if the person you've endorsed decides to put it on their profile. Doesn't work like Steam Tags unfortunately(?).
  13. Beyond Good and Evil 2

    Beyond Good & Evil 2 coming out Fall 2018 for the Nintendo Gamecube the Second

  15. The 'Does this thread exist?' thread

    While I know that these animals are as dead as they can be, I can't help but feel enormous amounts of pity for them.
  16. The Fanart Collective

    Very cool!
  17. Life

    Thanks. I was in-studio Quality Assurance, which I guess isn't the most secure position. Was just starting to transition over to design though which makes this outcome quite the bummer...
  18. Life

    So... I lost my job. Yay, game industry!
  19. The 'Does this thread exist?' thread

    Cat-dog?
  20. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    So he has video fame? What a shame, for the young poet whose poem is now invalid and useless.
  21. Destiny

    Same.
  22. Comics Extravaganza - Pow Bang Smash!

    Assumptions are always risky, but if you've enjoyed an authors previous work there's always a fair chance that you'll enjoy the rest of their catalogue. Can't say for sure about Tomb Raider as I've not read it myself. Here's a bunch of "reader reviews" for the first issue though: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20927267-tomb-raider-1 So, is Saga any good?
  23. Recently completed video games

    Sam & Max: Culture Shock I picked up the full collection of the Telltale Sam & Max games during the GoG sales earlier this year and decided to finally play through them. Just finished the first episode. I liked this well enough, although not all the jokes hit home with me and it is plagued with some polish issues. The Sybil character especially seems to be stricken by some issues (Stuck in T-pose when player enters scene, and disappearing during a vital scene). The wackiness and a puzzle challenge level that is well adjusted for my skills mostly weighs up for most of these issues though. Overall it seems like a decent first episode in a series that will hopefully find its stride later. It also has the best UI and website of all games ever.

    Ah, Mormor?
