Hey all! Loving the eps you guys produce! I was wondering today, and I'm not sure if this has been suggested before; have you guys ever considered inputting sound excerpts (for example from trailers or smth) in the background of your discussions about a game. As a short soundbite or as background during a game anecdote. I think if done right it could really add a lot of additional atmosphere. I guess you would have to prepare a couple of these jingles ahead of time though to properly start them. Post editing could work but would probably be messy. Anyway, keep it up and thanks for the laughs!

Yes... I don't own a console.. well I own a sega genesis 3 which is a lotta fun but forget about that for a second or two... I got my LCD tv set up to receive the PC videofeed and bought a wireless rumbepad logitech fancy thing for the PC, so I'm all ready to play some games from the couch now. So I'm looking for great console games that are also released for the PC, which work with a controller for the PC. FPS games kinda FAIL cause of the horrible aiming system ;0 RTS is probably also a problem. Anything else is welcome though, I guess! (p.s. already did Psychonauts of course!)

hmm that lego starwars is probably a great idea actually.... will try that!

hehe yeah, its a pc im using... controlling a PC version of an FPS with a controller doesn't really work going to try test drive unlimited! also i played MASHED on the X-Box with friends a while back and that was always huge fun....should find that for the pc too

While it definitly isn't my favorite game of all-time it was a very nice game which required some clever thinking. Some nice challenges. Yay!

Or maybe its Snarf? http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/snarf/screenshots it probably isn't but i felt Snarf deserved some attention

its quite enjoyable but its tough to learn to fly those helis and aircraft i mean i can fly them and manouvre pretty well but actually killing something is a whole different story

So I couldn't find my flashlight and figured I would just use a match stick... ...that's when things went really wrong

Aaarghh! The unthinkable happened! My headset is DAED The horror So what now? No more CS until i get a new one! The one i have here, and is now broken, is a Plantronics audio 90. Anyway have any other recommendations or should i just rebuy this one? (it did serve me well for about 3 years every day intensively used)

Dude i got it from Zaarin and really it was enjoyable! Thanks for this!

And let's organize an Adventure Gaming Con 2006! madness!!!

Yes! That way we can see some of E3 too *chants* IDLETHUMBS TV *chants* *chants* IDLETHUMBS TV *chants* *chants* IDLETHUMBS TV *chants* *chants* IDLETHUMBS TV *chants*

that's awesome, i enjoyed this! thanks for uploading! hmmm maybe i should order that double fine sweater

great to hear you've found someone to talk to :~

that's pure genious Thrik, i applaud your artistic ways of expression!

to my surprise and joy Psychonauts DID come in a box for the PC, a dvd sized carton box! im full of joy!

im ready for this game now!

i think any of the LEC game boxes are great examples of how to do box cover-art at random thought i also like this one: http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/large/927866558-00.jpg

Basically what you're saying is "games dont come in boxes anymore, so just accept it" The fact games don't (or hardly) come in a box anymore doesn't mean that's a good thing and you have to accept it. And about the argument of that it saves money: that's true but consumers don't get their games any cheaper. Games haven't become cheaper or pricey-er with the change of box format. What I'm arguing here is that the Game Experience used to go from looking at the extensive boxart, unwrapping the box, looking through the manuals and special booklets to installing and eventually playing the game. By using DVD covers you take away part of the Game Experience. There is no space for special box contents, your hands aren't filled with coverart; you need a spyglass to look at the screens on the back of the case for crying out loud. Gameboxes enrich the Gaming Experience.

DVD case packaging for games sucks anyway... The box used to be part of the game experience, these days its not anymore. There used to be extensive manuals that came with good games, that time has passed. A digital manual is all you get now, if any at all. I didn't mind the change to dvd sized cartboard boxes for games (like Syberia 1/2) but then they made them DVD cases and that just sucks downright. What's special about a bought game these days? It's not that much different from a pirated copy with a dvd cover printed now.

what Jesus said

all I can say i love my setup with a PCI-Express but my love would probably be similar with AGP (GeForce 6600 GT is the best!) However note that the current PCI-Express slots are not the 'finalized' versions, i think they're still updating them and thus the "take PCI-E so you can upgrade to a better vid card in the future without switching motherboard because you have AGP" doesn't necessarily help anyway because the card might get limited (on speed or performance) because its an old version of an PCI-E slot by then anyway... this is a theory however

So which of our favorite classic adventure games can you get working on your Pocket PC? So far I've been able to play most of the really classic SCUMM adventures. Tested: SMI & LCR Loom Indy FoA I wonder if games like CMI, DOTT, Sam and Max, Full Throttle, The Dig would work..anyone ever tested that? some eye candy:

that's all great to hear, ill be trying some sam and max and full throttle soon then but first i need a bigger memory card

You shall answer our prayers, Herr Shafer! That poster rocks!
