  1. Broken Age - Double Fine Adventure!

    So the latest episode is out, and it all seems like it's coming together, actually. This is more gripping than Game of Thrones! I'm loving it!
  2. Plug your shit

    Oops. I didn't watch it!
  3. Windows 8

    And YES! There's a definitely improvement over Windows XP. Microsoft has a bit of software that will tell you how you machine will run, if you can find it. (Upgrade Advisor maybe?)
  4. Plug your shit

    They're OK. I think a few of them are pretty funny, but I think they'd be funnier why they are dressed up to look "official", as it where. I was kind of hoping they might inspire others to join in, as I'm sure the community here could come up with some funny stuff. Also... Tumblr!

    I didn't know Bob Odenkirk repaired guitars.
  6. Do you want games?

    I can definitely attest to the fact that toblix will not come to your home, kill you, and then pretend to be you on the Idle Forums.

    You need to make a Tumblr! It's a brilliant statement on the kind of crap people half-read on the internet and then regurgitate. If it results in people having to question what they read, then all the better! There needs to be more! Some more "facts" for the pile: - In Italy "SUPER MARIO BROS. (1985)" was banned due to pressure from the Uomini italiani che Fix Cagone (the Plumber's Union of Italy). It was finally allowed for sale there in 2008. - Shigeru Miyamoto's first game was a child-molester simulator called "FUNNY PEST MAN (1978)". Released exclusively in Japan by mail order, only a few copies are known to exist. It has been seen selling for upwards of $10,000 on eBay. - The popular 80's Video game character DIZZY was named after drug slang of the time. The character's egg shape and boxing gloves were inspired by Andrew Oliver's wife's unique fashion sense. - CodeMasters was originally founded as a money laundering operation for a pair of Columbian drug barons. The company only gained respectability when the Escobar brothers were forced out of their own country by a mounting police investigation. They supposedly assumed their "Darling" names after a shopkeeper in Warwickshire greeted them (allegedly, "ello, darlin's"). - Simpson's creator Matt Groening designed the "Kong" character in "DONKEY KONG (1981)" while interning at Nintendo as a teenager. He has been involved in a prolonged legal battle to regain control of the character since 1991. - Tomohiro Nishikado, the creator of "SPACE INVADERS (1978)", finally revealed in a 1998 interview that the idea for the seminal Video game actually came to him while he was masturbating. Originally the "aliens" were going to be horny women, and the "space ship", was his penis. Early prototypes of this idea were made, but Taito persuaded him to changed the concept after STAR WARS became a huge success in Japan. - Alexey Pajitnov, the creator of "TETRIS (1984)", inserted hidden jokes about the ugliness of Soviet leader, Yuri Andropov's, wife. When this was brought to Andropov's attention, he placed Pajitnov under house-arrest and then divorced his wife. Documents made public in 1996 revealed that Andropov had been dating Farrah Fawcett for several months at the time of his death. Rumours from his office suggest he was planning to release Pajitnov once he and Fawcett were married. - American JOEY TOPPER holds the Guinness World Record for "Longest Paused Game". He's had "E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982)" on pause for 30 years in his trailer! Topper has been quoted as saying, "I plan to finish my game one day".

    You'll need to in order make sure it feels comfortable for you!
  9. Obligatory Comical YouTube Thread II: The Fall of YouTube

    Oh, totally. This wasn't an attack on Americans, just a video of unpleasant people is all.
  10. Old Amiga Kickstarter: Wings

    Yep. Don't forget that Canadian company ClickBOOM was also involved in making HD remakes of their old games for the PC at one point, too... Until they didn't sell well and Cinemaware stopped paying them. And then ClickBOOM sued... Oh crikey, this new iteration of Cinemaware made this trailer for their "Summer 2012"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fWp_3V9RaQ
  11. Rocksmith

    Noice! Toblix, don't forget that different guitars sound different, too! When you're in the store and you embarrassingly strum with the whole shop listening, keep an ear out to what it sounds like. You may find you really like the sound of one particular guitar, but not another.
  12. Hotline Miami

    Reading this thread, I seriously question if I want to play this game. Also if I should be calling the authorities or not.
  13. Rocksmith

    You don't want to say that you want to learn guitar? you don't have to mention HOW
  14. Obligatory Comical YouTube Thread II: The Fall of YouTube

    This will warm the cockles of your hearts...
  15. Rocksmith

    You should go to a music store and pick out something you like!
  16. Sensible Software 1986–1999 Kickstarter

    I got in touch with him and said the interview (which is the bulk of the book, I think) should be available for a cheaper ebook price. Fingers crossed.
  17. The Great Giana Sister's Kickstarter.

    Yeah, I'll give it another go at some point. I didn't the controls either, so that might be part of it.
  18. Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker

    I believe they've made some improvements in that regard for the HD version?
  19. Windows 8

    It probably just needs some Patriot Memory.
  20. Convert me, PC gamers!

    Also, don't forget to buy some Patriot Memory.
  21. Jeff Goldblum

    I seeeeee. *strokes chin* I think you'll find that those who LOVED early Anderson films also love his later ones, and those who just thought his early ones were very good were more disappointed. I was an early fan, and RUSHMORE is still my fave, but the rest of his oeuvre is still excellent in my opinion.
  22. Life

    You need to implement this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGqzVGJ9bGg

    A band friend of mine always told me: Never get a cheap guitar for learning on. You'll just be making things harder for yourself: It will be horrible to play, and it won't sound good, either. You already have enough barriers to overcome, if you're going to keep trying to play guitar and not quit in six months, so don't make it harder/worse for yourself. That doesn't mean buy the best guitar in the world, of course, but don't just go for the crappiest because you think you're an amateur. Get something decent.
  24. Windows 8

    Ah, I thought you meant your personal computer. Oh well.
