  1. Getting into PC gaming

    Also Silverstone is good.
  2. Mass Effect 3

    This is how easy it is to make a thread.
  3. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    It totally looks like Morten Harket was urinating when the photographer called his name. Also, how can that knee be there?
  4. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    Vegetation means RPG. Why else would you be running around in nature, if not to gain XP and find chests and shit?
  5. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    I find the puzzles to be the most interesting aspect. From what I understand, all puzzles will be the this kind of maze puzzle, and the variation will lie in the ways in which you come up with the solution. It seems to me there will be a lot of the aha! moments of Antichamber and the Myst games. The beautiful Myst-like island is just a bonus.
  6. Retro video game music quiz

    A lot of the latter ones are just games I've never played, and some I never even heard of, so I wouldn't feel bad about cheating just to get to see all those sweet checkmarks.

    If you're just after the answers, they're right there in the page source ...

    That sounds to me like what happens when an enthusiastic programmer describes what he's working on to a project manager, who then tries to explain that to a marketing guy. In other words, it's a mathematical approximation to some phenomenon, and marketing doesn't know math.

    I really think The Witness is going to be something special, but Blow felt like a bad fit for that kind of presentation. It's good that Sony is showing interest in weird games, though.

    Yeah, it was interesting that they chose to focus on improved input lag on the controller, and then start talking about video game streaming. I guess the streaming lag forced them to work on input lag. Hopefully this will trigger some work on output lag as well. The amount of time the image stays in modern televisions just to pass the broken copy protection inspection and all the other rounds of processing is ridiculous. I'm sure John Carmack said that doing all of that in parallel wouldn't be super-hard, and he would know, right? Maybe 2014 will be the year of INSTANT EMOTION™ LOW LAG GAMING DISPLAYS. Maybe there's room for improvement in the HDMI spec as well.

    I expected to wake up to hilarious photoshop meme image macros of the Activision men. What happened?
  12. PL4YST4TION 4

    Okay, everyone be excited for E3!
  13. Retro video game music quiz

    Me and PiratePoo solved the two first tabs using "team work!"
  14. PL4YST4TION 4

    Oh, cool!
  15. PL4YST4TION 4

    I just realised there won't be any live stream of the thing.
  16. PL4YST4TION 4

    Also, there's the mumble server but I don't know never mind I guess.
  17. PL4YST4TION 4

    So we'll be doing a hilarious Steam chat thing tonight, then?
  18. Netflix

    I just installed the Media Hint plugin. Is this for real? How can this be?
  19. Netflix

    What, there's a simple workaround they don't block?
  20. PL4YST4TION 4

    Definitely. «Haven't you always wanted to smell your games?»
  21. PL4YST4TION 4

    I'm super-excited. Not for sweet specs or awesome trailerz, but to see how Sony envisions the next five plus years of video games.
  22. Idle Thumbs Spot The Difference

    Years of playing Find It Mordillo in the what?
  23. PL4YST4TION 4

    I assume Sony has given an exact time for their present4tion. Does anyone know?
  24. SimCity: The City Simulator

    Oh, indeed they did! I didn't catch that, and for some reason I didn't get any notifications. Sounds like they won't be forcing any languages, then.
  25. SimCity: The City Simulator

    The language thing has me worried. EA is really bad at handling languages and respecting language settings, and I would be furious, though not particularly surprised, to learn that I can only play in Norwegian.
