N is more of a showcase of very good Flash programming, and while highly playable, I feel the same way about it as toblix. Can't believe it's getting a DS and PSP release.

Must buy. That headbanger bit was hilarious.

Wormsie, check out the Be Kind Rewind trailer. That's Jack Black, and he's awesome.

Game designer Raph Koster wrote up an interesting guest article on Penny-Arcade, don't know if any of you have seen it. It's about Tycho's idea of an industrial construction MMO and how he reckons it could be implemented. Awesome article and the idea really tickled my fancy. Would love to play that kind of an MMO. It's on the front page of Penny-Arcade right now.

Why all the skepticism?! This looks awesome.

Wow... I really wasn't expecting this. Don't much care for Sonic, always thought the 3D Sonic looked ugly, but this is still a big announcement. And I don't mind having Sonic in the line-up. More variety FTW.

Forget about Sonic, there's hands-on articles up on IGN and various other places I can't be arsed to link to. And then there's these OMG-I-WANT-IT-NOW-tastic videos over at GameVideos. Advance Wars sprites attack, and intro animations are back from Super Smash Bros. on the N64. And the environments look awesome. According to the articles the Wiimote-only control scheme rocks. I want this now.

Totally! That was my first reaction.

Wow, after those heavy denials of Schafer's on the Action News blog I was absolutely sure the rumours were false. Quite a surprise. Touché, Double Fine. (Oh, and the artwork looks awesome) (I'm still readying myself for this being yet another false alarm)

Public thanks to Dan (5 shillings) JW, for Episode 1. Finished it today, man that was awesome. Already started re-playing it with commentary (which is awesome too.) Thanks a bunch, Dan!

You obviously didn't see the update with Solid Snake's radio communication..

lobotomy, you most likely haven't activated your SteamID, by going into Steam Community in your Steam console, and clicking "Activate SteamID".

Yes, the voice-acting is horrible. Hope they don't make too big a deal out of Sonic in any of the single-player cutscenes.

Awesome thread! Still haven't bought Episode 1, so if anyone could feel it in their heart to grant a poor student a copy, I'd be eternally grateful. Wish I had porn pictures to give, though... If there's anything I can do in return, like maybe some illustrations for whatever, then just ask.

Oh, if anyone's in a giftful mind tomorrow, I still haven't played Episode 1.

Listening to an Icelandic band called Trabant. Alternative Rock? Don't really know how to categorize it.. But I definitely recommend it.

Trying out Steam on my Boot Camp'd Mac. Here's my ID: http://steamcommunity.com/id/bigjko

Which is more creepy than relevant... But yeah, perspective-based triggers can't be that hard to program. Just determine if the viewpoint of the player, relative to his position, is within a certain radius of a certain point in 3D space (i.e.. the breasts of a lady) It should definately be possible in whatever engine of choice.

Just saw Eastern Promises last night, which was half great, half meh. It left me with the same feeling as History of Violence, a sense of Cronenberg doing something interesting for the first half and then doing the exact opposite the rest of the movie. Seriously don't understand why they're getting such high-praises everywhere.

Fucking Gears of War! What the hell?!

Thrik, you seriously need to post more awesometastic videos, please. Especially ones where you don't die every five seconds.. But seriously. Awesome video!

Not sure if this warrants a new thread, but the Smash Bros Dojo just posted their most interesting post to date. You gotta love games that cater to everyone. (This is interesting because everyone's been assuming that they'd develop only for the GC controller to ensure that fans of the Smash Bros. Melee wouldn't get mad.)

Yeah, Twilight Princess controls beautifully. Wasn't it the first Zelda where you could swing your sword while running?

I'll just sit here and wait until they Mac-ify it up a bit.. Hopefully soon, please?
