I said this in my awesome review, but I'll say it again: Fez would've been amazing if it actually mixed the awesome, crazy puzzle stuff with the mediocre platforming, instead of just having these two separate parts awkwardly sitting next to each other in the same game. Of course, much is saved by the music.

A good tip is to start the day by standing in front of a mirror, pointing at yourself and saying «Hey,» then your name, and then «you're a cool guy» or «you're a cool girl!» Additionally, when you see someone you know from the internet, immediately look them in the eyes, and as you are walking towards them to greet them, repeat to yourself under your breath «Don't be awkward. Don't ruin this!» Then all you have to do is remember to speak quite loudly so you won't start worrying later on if you were maybe mumbling too much.

Holy shit, is saying «the Orient» racist? edit: Ah, apparently that's a North-American thing.

Research space discreetly, my lord!

When I listen to the cast, I always talk and laugh along with them, so it's like we are together.

j/k lol but they're doing a sweet humble bundle with a hilarious video: https://www.humblebundle.com/

See? I had forgotten everything about that signature. If you're not hiding signatures, you're really missing out!

Yeah, signature-free for life.

I may be wrong, but my impression is that, other than Valve's L4D experimentation, nobody was actually willing to support it in a game, so they made some weird drivers that read stuff off the screen or something.

I tried getting the Falcon up and running, but it's basically a dead project at this point.

I gave HL2 a short whirl today, as they recently added Rift support to it. I only played the first minutes at the train station, so I can't comment on the combat or advanced maneuvering. It was pretty sweet to just walk around the station and get up real close to people and public phones and stuff. Just standing in front of a guard and looking at him was kind of creepy. One step too close and he gets out the baton, which feels a bit more dangerous this time around.

God damn it over

Does this mean no Arma this weekend, or just no SWEET ARMA RADIO OVER this weekend?

Well that was pretty cool. I really enjoyed when we split into two groups, and Lu and I could talk together as normal, but had to use radio to communicate with the other team (team B.) It would be neat if they added some sort of filtering to the sound to remove the bedroom mic tone and make it sound more like it came from the mouth of a badass soldier.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they've straight out said the dev kits are getting lower-res screens than they're aiming for for the retail versions. Makes sense in all sorts of ways. Another slightly annoying thing with it is how I have to add it as a monitor in Windows, messing up all my window positions and sizes on account of the fact that it has this weird resolution. Hopefully they'll be able to do that in a better way at some point.

Ah, I'm not on the list.

You sort of have to see it for yourself, since it's a result of the resolution and dot pitch of the screen, it being so close to your eyes and having the lenses transform everything so the resolution varies depending on where you're looking.

I had some colleagues ride the roller coaster level today while standing up. It's a pretty low-fidelity experience; you can rotate your head but not move it, the track and cart are not realistic, and the view doesn't bank with the track. Also, as mentioned, the resolution of the Rift is pretty bad. And even with all these problems, this simple little ride gets people's hearts racing and arms flailing. It's amazing to watch.

BLIXAに変身すると、私の柔らかい口が痛い！ (Also, my custom sweet bespoke new purpose-built avatar was made by someone from these very forums. Guess who!)

I ... what? Is this a trick question?

I don't have a torso FML Yeah, you can always count on DF to pay attention to detail.

Any of you guys want my duplicate slacker backer thing?

Maybe Reams of the Haunting?

Perfect.

Didn't Nintendo pretty much take this to its inevitable conclusion by having their games go «oh, I see you're struggling a bit. Here, let me,» and then play it for you? edit: Wait, didn't they even give that feature its own marketable name, and then say all their games would have this and then not have it in any other games?
