I've seen it available, not as a torrent but on these other download sites (rapidshare, etc.), so it definitely has some pirate potential.

It's like Lemmings, but really more Lemming, since there's only the girl. Basically she's walking from left to right through the level and you have to place beams, jumping things and stuff to prevent her from touching bad stuff, while trying to catch some glowing stuff. The levels were so bland I started to wonder if they were just randomly generated, but it seems they're not. It's awesome that LucasArts is making original non-Star Wars games, and I hope they keep doing it (which is why I bought the game without trying the demo (which I expect exists?)), but this really wasn't that great. Maybe it becomes really cool later on.

:tup: Looks great, very pretty :tdown:tdown:: Not fun

Yeah, I think it's the same thing going on here:

The first one, I guess, is when the site was announced. I think I read a post by... I can't remember, Spaff or Marek? on AdventureGamers, and joined because the articled were awesome or something. As for the other peaks, could they be related to externals links or podcasts? edit: Also, I thought hey, I'll compare it to this, which was useless...

Here's one with a linear date range from 2004-04-07 to 2009-10.07. 1 pixel per day, 1 pixel per joined member:

Jesus, it's just a badly drawn chart showing how many people joined over the years. I just thought it was interesting. VIEWING THE CHART IS NOT MANDATORY. THERE IS NO POINT.

Yeah, I just threw it at Excel and took a screen shot.

Someone here just said that a bunch of awesome AAA games were coming in about 10 days. My impression was that most of the awesome stuff had been pushed back till early 2010. I know the following games are still coming this year: Gay Theft Auto Another couple of TOMI episodes? Uncharted 2 What more are there?

No, I was just trying to be funny. The last image is blocked and just says "retro junk.com". I agree that games can look beautiful and awesome and successfully convey the artist's vision even when running on crap hardware.

That last one blew me away.

Tusday, October 76th 21:00 BST. Liberty City will burn, etc.

Well, that's just such bullshit. Why would they send a message about Team Fortress 2 when you've sent them Left 4 Dead 2? This is typical of Steam and Valve -- instead of spending time on the important stuff, like fixing Steam and making Episode 3 they're busy making "sequels" (L2D), making hats (which everyone hates in TF2 since they basically nerfed the drop rate on the engin cap) and going to fucking Australia. Jesus, I hate Valve so much!

Well, I guess since I didn't really think much of it, I don't have any strong memory of his voice, so I probably won't notice. It'll be like them getting another voice actor to do the voice of that lady Kerrigan in Starcraft. Not that I don't like the acting, but since I never heard the original I won't even notice. But the fans are outraged, etc. So the stupidity of the decision to replace Max Payne's voice is proportional to the number of people who still remember, and liked, the original, now six years old, voice performance.

I seem to remember his voice being pretty lame and unfitting. I'll have to check some YouTube stuff later to confirm, but this is the first time I've heard someone praising Max Payne for its voice work.

I get two out of three references. What characterises a Blue Peter presenter? Being a hot Asian chick?

Will listen to this when I get home, but I'm glad to see TOMI is being discussed. I think it's too bad Jake has seemed loath to discuss it (for whatever reasons (one of which I'm sure is demurity)), because they're awesome games and he should get some on-air cred, kudos, etc.

Oh, was that when I had set my helicopter to ground-only mode, and could only fire straight ahead? That was awesome how you pushed the other guys' cars into my line of fire. Nice co-op action, there.

Unfortunately I can't handle challenging, much less unforgiving, so I won't be trying this. But it sounds pretty awesome.

What's this, a Diablo clone?

Good game, everyone. Some new people tonight, too, which is great. Also, lots of fine GTA action, such as driving, shooting and suddenly being in the midst of several exploding cars and then having a fire truck come crashing into it all. Also, I won a race. Also, the airport match was very fun seeing as everyone wanted a helicopter but nobody seemed to know how to actually steer one. So, very good!

Yeah, because there isn't a ?

I really want to donate a bit since I've enjoyed lots of his work, but all the links I find regarding this are either broken, or just a PayPal link to send money to some dude. Not to be an asshole or anything, but I'm not just sending money based on a tweet and a link. Is there any more info about this anywhere?

I'll definitely be there, just like last time.

Yeah, and So good.
