    But those are just some dumb idiots who have no other outlet probably. How can I boycott them anyway, I don't know them.

    My frothing demand for this game decreases

    The interviewer should be David Lynch
  4. Minecraft

    Well, that was weird. I guess I finished Minecraft. Everyone probably knows what the end is but just in case I'll add spoiler tags. Overall, the ending feels kind of tacked on, but maybe this was just the first iteration of the adventure mode? Haven't been keeping up with what they have planned.

  6. Fund Tim Schafer's next game YOURSELF!

    Where was that linked to ? Isn't on double fine news or kickstarter.
  7. SCP-087

    no they didn't
  8. Minecraft

    Actually I continued anyway -- found some nether fortresses and a stronghold and messed about for three or four hours trying to get the nether portals right to fast travel between my main home and the stronghold. Now I'm more than half way there to opening the end portal, just need to find more pearl-dropping endermen. I'm also still playing another world occasionally with my neighbour's 6-year old kid, but in that case it's more like he tells me what he wants to do and then watches as I do it. And he doesn't have enough patience to build something big, so we just explore and build small houses and stuff.

    Yeah, Kvothe, while annoying at times, is actually a pretty interesting character. He is somewhere between anti-hero and hero. He seems to have good intentions most of the time, but will lie, cheat, steal, destroy if it benefits him.

    So if anyone wants to see toblix in the nude, the plan is simple: 1. DDoS all video game news sites until they are really down 2. Fabricate evidence of cached versions of the sites that include half-life 3 announcement 3. ??? 4. Profit

    So what's a good place to keep up with GDC news? This thread?
  12. Fund Tim Schafer's next game YOURSELF!

    6 times more than they asked already!
  13. GDC 2012

    Can we hope for Half Life 3 announcement as launch title
  14. Books, books, books...

    Well, that depends on the reader, doesn't it. Personally I think they are, but don't blame me if they're not for you.
  15. Mister RRoD comes to town...

    Welcome to the club! They didn't fix it in new models AFAIK. Although, I haven't been keeping track so I don't know what "new" means.
  16. Overgrowth

    Didn't find any thread for this. This game is going to be sweet. I played Lugaru a bit, but thought it was just an interesting idea with mediocre execution. But it seems in Overgrowth the execution will be much better. I love the amount of time they are spending on little details like eye movement. woRoM-9oH0o Oh, and apparently if you preorder, you'll get to try the things you saw in that video already. It's interesting that several indie devs seem to be taking this route nowadays -- pre-order and you'll get access to (pre-)alpha stuff. I think that started before Minecraft, even?
  17. Minecraft

    Aargh. Started a new world and messed around for hours. Then went on a map-filling and feather gathering mission (so I could have more arrows for Nether), fell to my death in the middle of a jungle. It was impossible to find all my stuff again, lost all arrows and feathers and the almost filled map. Think I'm done with the game for a while. There needs to be something to counter this shit for me to keep playing it.
  18. Nice work summing it up, Rodi!
  19. And I'd prefer 100% morem Nick Breckon
  20. Assassin's Creed: Mohawk

    Looking forward to it, but there are two things I'm disappointed about: * the assassin's outfit * the assassin's gait They are too similar, especially the gait seems to be identical (as much as I can tell from still screens). Then again, I can see why they wouldn't want to redo animations and fine tuning and other stuff it may concern, as that might take a lot of time. And it's not really the clothing that makes someone a hashashin is it. An assassin should blend in. In the first game, he did mostly, but I don't know why they stuck with that.
  21. Sure about that? I'm not sure exactly how joint stereo works, but I imagine that it just detects if both channels are the same (for some length of time) then it only saves one channel for that time. The suggestion to use stereo would mean that there's a subtle difference between L/R channels at all times so it would still be 2 channels all the way. But I might be totally wrong about this. Nevermind, seems I was wrong.
  22. Assassin's Creed: Mohawk

    You took the words out of my mouth
  23. Can we have a "Behind the scenes" blast of the Breckoncast?
  24. It is the best. I just listened to it for the 3rd4th5th time.
  25. I guess Nick Breckon went insane and they banned him from recording any new Bethcasts.
