  1. If you walk, I'd hobble down to the shop and get Dead Rising. Even if you hate it, you'll still love the awesome boss death cut-scenes. Also, Carcassonne and Catan proved enjoyable. Also.
  2. Rez HD announced for Live Arcade!

    Jeez, I thought you were kidding, like pretending to be a totalitarian fascist or something?Anyway, in honor of not getting permabanned (although that would be pretty cool, too) I'm going to buy it, turn down the lights and play it for more than 15 minutes. Then (I'm not done), I'm going to tell you all what I thought. Like a proper reviewer, only without going to game expos and calculating the game's qualities with an accuracy of within .1 quality point. And I really did think you were kidding. Now I'm actually looking forward to this game. When is it out?
  3. Machinarium

    Awesome! I never bought the second part of Samorost 2. Worth it?
  4. Dead Rising

    I thought I'd just reiterate my liking for this game. It's awesome. I'm playing it again for the second time, this time doing the main story quests and not giving one flying fuck about the survivors. Sure, I'll get them to follow me. For the join bonus. Then I crush their skulls with the sledgehammer. So I found out that this game isn't that hard. The boss fights (up until now, anyway) are pretty easy, so it's just my bag: little resistance, much cut-scenes and bloodletting.
  5. Rez HD announced for Live Arcade!

    Sure, still the voice of the oppressed. I guess I should've phrased myself differently, although there's now way of knowing that now. What I meant was... well, I guess I meant what I wrote. So maybe writing it was the problem. Yeah, I can see that. I'll control my hate for games in the future. Sorry.Anyway, I've noticed there's a bunch of these low-fidelity bizarre arcade games coming out now, and I'm really surprised that there's any market for them at all. Of all the games I would imagine 99% of all gamers in the world skipping after just looking at a screenshot of for one thousandth of a second, these games... Rez, Space Giraffe... I'm certain there are more of them (before I forget, there's a nasty bug in the text editor when you press down on the last line, and the caret appears at the beginning of the line)... and I imagine you must be really old-school hardcore to even try them. Is it just the low risk of publishing something on Live Arcade, or are there a bunch of old-schoolers buying these things? Also, I believe I expressed my horniness -- however tersely -- for World of Goo just earlier today. Unless that sounded like bitter rage, which I assure you it wasn't.
  6. The trailer did it for me. In the pants. I read this at work today, and it hit me: That's exactly what I feel, to such a degree that I feel I've been robbed of my feelings. I think I mentioned it before, my lust for man-made, non-procedural, assets. Although the Tower of Goo thing did nothing for me except being a cool physics toy, this game looks totally and completely awesome.
  7. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    Loath was it! Thanks.
  8. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    I have such a bad experience with switchers (SCART mostly) that I'm [What's the word I'm looking for here? I know there is one, but it totally escapes me!] to buy one and risk reducing the quality of my sexy 360 signal. I'd rather switch manually.
  9. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    Wait, so Canada isn't in Europe?
  10. Double Fine

    Rock and Roll Heaven is sounding more likely by the minute.
  11. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    Mine can't either, so I just let the Wii stay connected over the SCART. Would you say the 480p component signal is worth disconnecting the 360 for?
  12. HDTWii

    The Wii in 480i on a big screen? Pretty fucking terrible. And it's not like my TV has two component inputs. And also, trying out RE4, the controller suddenly started acting up. The nunchuck seemed to get stuck on down, pointing me at the floor, making aiming hard, and suddenly the controller just turned itself off. I mean what the fuuck?
  13. The DF Action forums are fucking horrible

    I feel the forums may be pointless, though. Or was there a community of sorts before this, too? Unless they do something about their ridiculous forum structure and release some info on their next game, why would anyone want to stay after they've made their attempts to get Tim to send them a PM?
  14. HDTWii

    I looked at some comparison shots of 480i and 480p and there's quite a difference.
  15. HDTWii

    That's what I thought. Turns out they were just recently changed.
  16. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    Where exactly is the demo from in the game?
  17. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    If it was, they should fire, uh, everyone.
  18. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    I don't know if anyone's said it yet, but we all know this game's riddled with consolitis.
  19. Manhunt 2 - From AO to AOK

    I always thought the claims that people can vent their aggression through violent video games sounds like bullshit.
  20. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    I've had one crash that ended up in a BSOD, but other than that it has run great. Ly?
  21. Hello?

    Just checking. Is everyone playing Bioshock or what?
  22. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    I guess that makes sense. The whole "saving" sequence, with the touching and screaming and little sting music thingie is so beautiful.
  23. BioShock - They weren't kidding...

    Holy shit, Bioshock just gave my computer its first BSOD!
