  1. Tales from the Borderlands

    Finished this today! It might just be my favourite Telltale series to date. While I adore Walking Dead season 1, the lighter and warmer tone in this just worked for me in a way that the hopelessness in WD doesn't. Did anyone else finish this? It seems like this one was a flying a bit below the radar as far as Telltale games go?
  2. Automation: Where did all the jobs go?!

    There's a store opening up in Sweden that has no staff at all. You just pay through an app: http://www.svd.se/premiar-for-obemannad-butik-lanthandel-20 Fairly small store in a smaller community and it's uncertain whether this would work in something as large as a supermarket, but it does at least show that there is a movement towards these kinds of solutions where staff may no longer be required.
  3. Firewatch Spoiler Thread | Henry Two Hats

    Is that page completely broken for someone else? Can't get a response the buttons on that page at all. Maybe it's a chrome thing?
  4. Firewatch Spoiler Thread | Henry Two Hats

    Delilah didn't answer when Henry tried to ask about Hawks Rest. Is there anything special that needs to be to trigger any stories about this cottage?

    Any game with Eat as a verb is automatically the best.
  6. Firewatch Spoiler Thread | Henry Two Hats

    Well, the message he leaves for Henry mentions that the reason he hasn't tried to get someone to find the body was that there would "be questions" (Can't remember the exact wording). This is also why he hasn't returned to civilization himself. As for why he left Brians body there, I'm not sure. My initial feeling was that maybe it would be too risky/hard to actually move the body out of the cave as climbing with an extra persons... dead weight, I guess... would make a climb both heavier and harder as the weight would move around. The way Henry finds to get out seems fairly safe, but with the state we find Brians hideaway in, it doesn't seem like Ned has even found it. In fact, that this is where we find the anchors(?), doesn't that mean that Ned wouldn't have been able to get down there?

    It's not inconceivable that the tracker alarm is still giving off some kind of signal though. If Ned is out on a hike (which his notes show is something he did from time to time) he might not hear a "noise-only" alarm, so it might be broadcasting some signal he can check in on perhaps? I don't know.
  8. Firewatch Spoiler Thread | Henry Two Hats

    Only just finished the game (Really liked it!), so haven't had much time to think about it but my initial explanation for why he never moved and buried Brian was that it probably would have been quite hard/risky to try and move his remains from the cave. After he steals (or I guess, never returns) the keys to the gate, the cave essentially becomes a mausoleum for Brian that only Ned can enter. As for why he would then give Henry the key? That I have not figured out yet.
  9. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I wonder how they justified that. Did his inclusion really drive sales that much?

    Ended up ordering a Nektar Impact XL49. Package sent today, really looking forward to getting it.
  11. Making Music. Tunes by Idle Thumbsters

    Been looking at MIDI-keyboards lately and I'm finding myself wondering about the necessity of having a full set of keys (88?) or if a half-length i just fine. How much do you who use these keyboards use their full length? Or are you, as Clyde notes, just modulating whenever you need to?
  12. If you look at this page, for instance, you'll find the comment box for this article at the very bottom: http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/the-community-spotlight-01162016/1100-5377/
  13. XCOM 2

    As someone who answers support emails for my company it blows me away how marketing heavy this is, surely people who are already invested enough to write to your support don't need a sales pitch?
  14. Powerball Fantasies

    My fantasies of becoming rich usually end up with me helping out my parents find a new house or fixing up their old one. Not sure what I'd do for me though.
  15. Other podcasts

    Wrong thread.
  16. XCOM 2

    That's a proper good looking torso in that last one there. Hot damn. I just watched a video where the 'tuber mentioned that there is some kind of UI element that informs you whether there is line-of-sight when selecting where to move.

  18. Things in games that terrify you irrationally

    Being the monster in Evolve was the most tense experience I've ever had. Knowing that 4 other people were out there somewhere, trying to hunt me down made my whole body just crawl and tense up. As far as video games go I guess that's not so irrational, but the degree of my discomfort makes it seem like I'm actually about to get physically hurt.
  19. Serial - The Podcast

    Yeah, it is just described as (paraphrasing) issues that present a real danger to him and hos fellow soldiers. I think the only real specificity we get is that it is somehow related to their officers?
  20. System Shock: The Third

    Code name maybe? Or an attempt to make the page harder to find before the count-down runs out.

    Is Infinity Blade any good?
