  1. Idle Weekend coming soon?

    Features Junior Mints and Rob Zacny. Releases on Fridays I believe it is said.
  2. Other podcasts

    Shut Up and Sit Down maybe?
  3. Gear VR

    Is it correct that this device will only work with Galaxy Note 4?

    I do not recommend getting the major blood vessels in your neck strangled. That was perhaps the most odd and terrifying experience I've had. Tap out in time when you're wrestling, people!

    Could be the wiring in the guitar, since there should be a "earth" in there somewhere. Should be a fairly easy if you've got a soldering iron and someone who knows what wire to fix.
  6. Life

    Sweeeeeeeeeeden! 5 Weeks off is the norm here (The longer you've been with the company you can usually bargain for more) and companies are required to offer employees to take 4 consecutive weeks of vacation once a year. I have to point out that the 4 day work week (or 6 hour workday) are merely experiments that are being done in very small scale at either individual companies or individual branches of municipal services (such as hospitals and elderly care). It's far, far, far away from becoming even remotely a common occurence, although the initial results sound promising (with healthier, happier and more efficient staff as well as (in the case of hospitals) more satisfied patients.
  7. The Great Co-op Thread

    Resident Evil 5 is secretly the best Co-op game.
  8. The Great Co-op Thread

    Tried it out a bit, and I agree that it's quite fun. The traversal is really neat, although I've yet to encounter any levels that really take advantage of the flips and climbs that the character can pull off. No alternate routes or tricky "platforming sections", basically just getting to a slightly higher spot where I can snipe enemies with my bow. From my understanding of the story, all the characters are human. Just genetically engineered in different ways. I believe the Tenno (Whom the players take control of) are people who were exposed to some sort of "warp" dimension and came back alive (unlike others) but a little bit damaged. The rest of humanity then built them into these Warframes, so that the Tenno could defend the rest of humanity from the horrible creatures from the other side or some-such. That's at least what I believe those loading screens have told me
  9. Battlezone is one of my favorite games ever. Great atmosphere, fun combination of FPS and RTS and it's just freaking cool to be a NSDF Astronaut flying your spacetank through the mists of Venus to battle to battle Soviet Cosmonauts. I was also in that age where clunky interfaces weren't really a problem, just hurdles to get over.
  10. Sports

    First NWHL games were played today. Quite cool! I hope they keep it going.
  11. Half-Life 3

    Spaff!
  12. Half-Life 3

    https://twitter.com/MrMooEar/status/651618121913008128 Will Brad be able to turn the Half-life 3 release-valve before security gets to him? I guess we'll know in December!
  13. Far Cry PRIMAL

    The Cro-Magnons are probably real bad to the Neanderthals.
  14. Destiny

    Yeah, this is the one reason I sorta regret only having the Xbox. I'll have to ponder it a bit more I guess, seems like one of those games that just gets immeasurably better when playing with other people.
  15. Rocksmith

    I'm not sure you can? I think it leans fairly heavily into playing the songs in a specific way "as was intended".
  16. Destiny

    Has anyone got any experience with the Xbox One version? Seeing how hard the PS4-release is being pushed I'm wondering if they're still comparable in performance and player count?
  17. Pokemon GO

    Is it just me that felt oddly satisfied that there seemed to only be Pokémon from the original 150 in that trailer?
  18. Any chance of bringing this back?
  19. Jeff Goldblum

    I wonder if they told him about the time Nick considered stealing his shoes?
  20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DF4qjoaFTY Mascots for everything!
  21. Hacknet is a wonderful little game that simulates the experience of being the person at the keyboard in those wonderfully silly movie hacking scenes. As the player you get invited into a world of both White and Black Hat hacking, corporate espionage and cyberpunk conspiracies. By performing missions you earn reputation with the different collectives you encounter and gain new software so to breach even further into the networks you roam in. Hacking itself can be done either through a modern interface with actual buttons, progress bars and visualized file hierarchies or, alternatively, by tapping in commands into the command line on your keyboard. It's a game that I feel does what it sets out to do very well, and that delivers quite a few surprises and intense moments. If you wish to see the game in action follow this link right HERE
  22. Contradiction - The best of hammy actors

    It will point out stuff like "This person said this thing... I don't buy it. Push on that topic." and similar.
  23. Contradiction - The best of hammy actors

    Indeed, it's just another hint system in the game trying to gently prod you in the direction of where you should direct your inquiries.

    I bought it, played it and then watched the GB East guys play through it as well. Their reactions to the utter madness that is this game were very enjoyable. I definitely liked it and would love to see more, I do think the ending felt a bit odd considering the way the game leans towards the end but it still made enough sense that I felt OK about it. What kind of interface changes have they made now? Was going to write up some stuff and put it on the GB forums (the lead dev seems to hang around there quite a bit) but they might already have fixed all the stuff I was thinking about. I got stuck at the exact same spot. Felt like a weakness in the UI there, hopefully something they sort out for an hypothetical sequel.
