  1. Team Fortress 2 and Portal

    Valve are most likely putting this into the Half-Life universe, somehow. Maybe the robot voice is to give the impression that the entities making experiments on you aren't able to speak with a human-like voice. Like... aliens. Some have theorized it's Shephard from Opposing Forces who has been sold by the G-Man to some alien race, for experiments.
  2. Team Fortress 2 and Portal

    Awesome! Love the music. And the soldier made me laugh.
  3. Just saw Pirates, and I loved the ending. Way to make me want to see the next one.
  4. Team Fortress 2 and Portal

    Having played Team Fortress to no end back in the old days, there is simply no question here. After seeing that art I will be playing TF2! And looking at the background in that picture, it bodes well for the levels. Over-sized cartoony objects ahoy!
  5. The Amazing Screw-On Head

    I found his voice acting perfect. Damn, I would so buy this pilot on DVD if just to get this show on the air.
  6. New Super Mario Bros.

    Apparently someone's found a code to get some sort of Challenge Mode. Nothing too fancy, just means that you can't go backwards in most levels. But hey, hooray for more classic gameplay.
  7. DS Lite

    There's supposed to be some fancy way of transporting your old friend codes to your new machine. I think.
  8. New Super Mario Bros.

    There's an easier way.. And I'm loving this game. I'm pleasantly surprised in almost every level. Nearly every level has a little homage to almost every iteration of Super Mario, or something entirely new. Mario controls better than ever, IMO. About saving, you can either just put the DS in sleep mode (closing the lid) or just go to the nearest Star Coin gate (if you have the right amount of Star Coins, of course.) I think it's a nice system. The Mega Mushroom is useful for getting some easy 1-ups. Although, if you're used to playing the Super Mario games, 1-ups are pretty easy to get. The only new thing I think is pretty useless is the double and triple jump.
  9. Japanese Wii-price: 25.000 yen (225 $)

    And the Wii controller does not allow you to sit in a chair?
  10. Gabriel Knight

    Yes, yes, yes! Broken Sword fails miserably at setting up its own plot, and then usually its just a plot involving some idiotic things. At least Gabriel Knight gets me interested in the plot right from the start, and then throws the idiotic crap at me.
  11. Microsoft: hey why not buy a Wii?

    Just for potential laughs:
  12. Ubi Takes Charge of 'Lost' videogame

    I think they'd be best off taking one of the unknown survivors of Flight Whatever, where he has his own sub-plot. And I'd love to have some playable flashbacks. That would rock my world.
  13. Eurovision Song Festival

    I'm trying very hard to think of how it was original. Screaming and shouting, I've seen before (and sometimes to better effect, too..) And underneath the screaming and shouting was a very, very typical Eurovision formula melody. So, yeah. Original... Wait, wait. They had masks. Err, nope. Also done before.
  14. Don't know if we need another Sony thread, but this has to be one of the most arrogant quotes I've heard in a long time. From an interview with David Reeves: I never really hated Sony until now. They don't deserve their number one spot any longer.
  15. Nintendo's E3 Conference Thread

    No, I watched the videos...
  16. Nintendo's E3 Conference Thread

    Man, Super Mario Galaxy, despite not even using the Wiimote that much, looks awesome. That robot boss battle was just magnificent. Didn't even notice how big the robot really was until Mario started running up it. No gravity = !
  17. Contact for the DS

    Yes, this is one to look forward to. And since you mentioned it, Final Fantasy III looks awesome!
  18. Just how awesome is the DS Lite?

    Mm, indeed. Everyone needs to watch the new video. Favorite moment when all the goombas come falling down on Mario.
  19. 'Gibbage' from Size Five Games

    Sadly still having problems running the game at home, albeit different ones this time. But it's awesome that Dan has been sending me e-mails regularly to check if I've been able to solve the problems. As for the new demo, played it at school and it's really bitching. Everyone check it out now! The game is still immensely enjoyable, simple fun. And now the intro music is totally awesome.
  20. BS4....Hmmm

    Nooooo, no. No. While I agree that they've been getting a bit more crap than they deserve, and the characters look pretty detailed, they don't look better than Dreamfall. Dreamfall's got some great art direction. BS4 has next to none, in the screenshots.
  21. Bob Ross is coming to the revolution?

    Here's the official site for the game, apparently..
  22. Revolution at GDC thread

    If you're following Iwata's keynote at the GDC, then join in on the thread. Supposedly we'll get the final name of the console. Not big, but at least we get to say it's stupid. And that's always fun. Hopefully we get some new game info. At least a demonstration of how awesome the Revolution is.. At any rate, there are pictures. Glorious pictures.
  23. Revolution at GDC thread

    from an interview with Nintendo of America's senior director of public relations, Beth Llewelyn: That Nintendo GO picture is fake, and Virtual Console is the name of the download service. Or he's just lying. Take your pick.
  24. Revolution at GDC thread

    Oh, I love how you can draw notes on the dungeon map. Zelda on the DS. Sega Mega Drive on the Revolution.
  25. Revolution at GDC thread

    Well, on the bright side it shows how fucking small the Revolution is. Is anyone else hoping they just call it the Nintendo?
