  1. Life

    I gotta say, I am excited for the Arab world. :tup: I hope there are enough smart people in the opposition who'll strive to set up powerful institutions [rather than/that can stand up to] powerful people.
  2. Internet Comics

    Not to be confused with all the correct mistakes I also made?
  3. Minecraft

    You should prolly mosey over to this sticky thread which contains the up to date server infos.
  4. Internet Comics

    It is barely french. Sokay. Don't worry.
  5. The Last Express

    The original version uses some sort of clunky Quicktime 2 or something. Maybe they got some of that clunkiness ironed out as opposed to just churning a wrapper for Quicktime 2 to run in XP+Vista+7... I dunno.
  6. The Last Express

    It will generally rewind you itself back to the most optimum time to restart. Before the event of no return that precipitated your downturn. It may be quite a ways back. It still felt brutal to my 14-year-old self even though it is not nearly as brutal as it could've been considering it was the mid-to-late nineties.
  7. The Last Express

    It is dirt cheap... but how does it compare to the original version? Does it play any better?

  9. V The Elder Scrolls

    Are these articles or is this PR? They are stupily loose with their superlatives.
  10. there is a .minecraft directory in your user folder. Both the browser version and the downloadable executable stash game assets in there.
  11. Movie/TV recommendations

    That is a somewhat myopic thing to say. Both this movie and the other one were based on the same book. That is about the extent of the latter's remakiness.
  12. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    Sometimes I tend to brandish words that technically not ideal for the situation kindof fit in a larger picture. In this case, I am using "fascist" as a catch-all term for a type of shameless, oppressively macho entertainment, as aggressively meaningless as it is viscerally violent. I have been known to describe all kinds of meaningless art as fascist. Blue bonnet paintings, for example, are fascist. As is most mall-grade art (e.g. Thomas Kinkade) and pop music. Basically, anything that is not degenerate art is inherently fascist.
  13. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    I totally agree... WTF... Was Duke3D equally fascist and I simply didn't notice it or what? It is bizarre to see an earnest 90s macho treatment in this day and age...
  14. I've been working on some personal projects and I have no time right now! It is weird to feel a sense of obligation to a video game like this. It is prolly not healthy. I have never played MMORPGs, but I suspect this is something similar to what MMORPGers feel often when they decide to have a life.
  15. Portal 2

    Are you sure there will be cross-platform scheiße of that ilk? Are there any games that let you play against people on other platforms anyway? Besides, don't you need two licenses to play with someone?
  16. Portal 2

    I think Valve is doing STRANGE AND BIZARRE things that will immediately become the de facto expectation of everyone, to the chagrin of the entire industry. Because when you think about it, if Gamestop is foaming at the mouth that it will stop selling Steam-enabled games (like a spoiled, neurotic asshole child whose abandoned toys are embraced by other kinds on the playground), and when publishers are trying to make it impossible to resell games because technically they've been selling the license to play for years now rather than own a piece of media, why not make it possible to play on whatever? If you're gonna lock a copy of a game to me for all eternity, why do I have to have a dozen copies of it? Plus, it is like a gateway drug for a whole demographic of people who have never played games on their internet machines. It's a win-win for Valve.
  17. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Meh, not stereo enough for my taste.
  18. Christmas Cards

    Since Toblix is never going to post the card, I might as well do it: http://nihilistcanary.com/hobo_lobo_of_hamelin_christmas_card
  19. Recently completed video games

    It is actually, surprisingly, much better.
  20. Their hearts are in the correct place...
  21. The Last Express

    I think it was a creative choice moreso than a technical compromise.
  22. The Last Express

    Yes.
  23. Life

    Jeez, man. Way to overreact.
