  1. If I initially hate a game, I don't continue playing it. The only exception, I think, is MGS 3, the resuming of which was fueled partly by several Thumbs' insistence that it is awesome, and partly my wanting to play MGS 4 without there being a hole between that and MGS 2, which I played (and loved). The end
  2. Okay, this was awesome. Too bad nobody was recording because tonight was a podcast extragavanza, with diverse topics being discussed: Gears of War 2 Pokemon The devil, apparently, right before I joined. Also, we should have more races.

    Jesus, this one scared the shit outta me:
  4. Fallout 3

    Okay, two things: How long does it take from a patch is released until it's released on Steam? Has anyone experienced a weirdness with the Live UI overlay, in which I have to click about a cm below everything to make it register?
  5. Great job! The game suggestions were awesome and hilarious.
  6. Crayon Physics

    Did you enjoy the full game?
  7. Crayon Physics

    I'm so tired of Crysis being called a physics sandbox. Have you seen the graphics? They're awesome!
  8. Crayon Physics

    Yeah. I was hoping for something more like World of Goo, where the concept is simple, but they mix it up in awesome ways. Crayon Physics is just bland looking and similar all the way through (for as far as I've played it).
  9. Fallout 3

    Okay, so what is the definitive source of which mods to install? I find all sorts of recommendation, but none in which I have the extreme confidence I have in you people. I'm more after mods that make the original game easier/less fiddly to play, like inventory management, etc., not after additional content and shit like that. NMA used to be my source of FO info, but... they can't be trusted.
  10. Crayon Physics

    I bought it, but quickly gave up. Not because it became too hard, but because it was just fucking boring. Of course, I don't regret buying it since it's an awesome indie thing or whatever, but I can wholeheartedly disrecomment it.
  11. Sorry, another piracy/DRm article...

    Me playing a game = (Awesomeness² + Achievements + (1/η)Tits -(1-1/η)DRM) / Checkpoint sparsity, where η is the number of outfits.
  12. Full Throttle Movie

    With all the insanely awesome shit that's being done with graphics these days, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
  13. Full Throttle Movie

    Yeah, it's less heavy on the use rope on leg of lamb, and more heavy on the fucking awesome.
  14. Tomb Raider: Underworld

    I heard that, and I'm loving it. Surely, if they reboot Lara Croft, they won't have to do anything with the games.
  15. Tomb Raider: Underworld

    That's not a mansion level, that's a level that happens to be a mansion.
  16. Tomb Raider: Underworld

    Aaanyway, just finished this, and I'm somewhat disappointed with it. The graphics are great. Everything looks really nice and thoroughly done. There's no blurry textures or shit like that. I thought the characters looked good to, and didn't find them as plasticy as others have. The main puzzles are awesome. They're well thought out, varied and always have some surprising element. Even if it looks like you'll have to do the same thing twice, the second time some element has changed, keeping if fresh, yo. The main areas are beautiful. These huge areas with statues and rocks and poles and moss and shit everywhere, they're spectacular. The end game is not drawn out and ridiculous. The last level has the feeling of a climactic boss battle, but there aren't any (deliberately) very hard fights or anything like that. I like my end game smooth, and it's awesome that more games avoid the soul crushing end bosses. When the platforming works, which is 90% of the time, it's awesome. There's plenty of jumping and shimmying and grabbing and climbing, and they always mix it up too keep it fresh, yo. Motorcycle There are so many fucking bugs in this game it's ridiculous, and they're all related to platforming. Lara gets stuck on the most ridiculous of places, she misses obvious jumps, suddenly leaps off into a chasm for no reason when a ledge is right there, and the rope stuff is wonky as hell. Combat is boring and stupid. There's not a lot of it, thankfully, but they should just drop it all. Mostly you're killing tigers or monsters, and they could've just as well skipped these sequences and replaced them with some more jumping. The achievements (and I guess trophies) are lame. Also, ((((((( ))))))):tdown:NO MANSION LEVEL!!!:tdown:((((((()))))))
  17. Full Throttle Movie

    You just reminded me of this fact: Beneath a Steel Sky is fucking awesome. I seldom think about it, but when I'm reminded of it it hits me like a sack of shit -- the puzzles, the mood of the game, the voices (which I, possibly only I, thought were awesome), the everything.
  18. Video games video-games videogames

    Yeah, poetry is bullshit. Or is that "bull shit"?
  19. Next² Generation Consoles

    God no, it was just a copy&paste. If I could write that well I'd be publishing.
  20. If you use scores I'll fucking kill you.

  22. Five BioShock sequels

    Hey, I know those hands! Anyway, what? I was just being hilarious, I think it's awesome that some people don't like Half-Life. Whenever someone says Half-Life is overrated, I make a wish. It's not like you have to defend your view or anything, it's just so exotic.
  23. Five BioShock sequels

    No you didn't.
  24. Next² Generation Consoles

    Holy shit. Even though I fully agree it's sad that a console is "outdated" just as the really "good" games for it start to come out, but I think six more years with Xbox 360 is a bit much.
