More units sold means more chances to play against interesting people

BANNED Although it must be said that everyone knows, since forever, that the game onby really grips you from Lungfishopolis onwards.

Bah! And yet Steam refuses to acknowledge my "Maestro Certified" debit card. So I'll probably have to wait for a box off the shelf (although it is nice to have a physical copy).

The Eurogamer review mentioned that barging into the spy also reveals his true form. I imagine the scout might be good at that. I think I'm going to focus on the Demo Man. The reason being that every single HE grenade kill in CSS makes me guffaw. Imagine the joy I could find having an infinite supply of explosives! My second class will likely be the scout, as I love runing rings around people.

Hahah oops, sorry. That was meant to nause yufster more than you.

This is starting to sound like the arcade space shooter version of Mornington Crescent. I want it.

= ?

I think his best feature is his orange swing-chair and chubby grin. Oh wait - which one is Wrestle again?

There's always a chance or radiation poisoning, Yufster. Especially with Ginger around. Nice bonce, Wrestle! I've been considering the doing the same, but since I have roughly 2 foot of hair I have to notify the coastguard first, or something.

Not really, until that little gif appeared I thought it was a clip of the poor man having a heart attack

Yeah, it's like people that write in the the Daily Mail, or who buy it every day without irony. There must be thousands of them out there, but you never seem to meet one face-to-face. And for that we should be incredibly thankful.

Oooh, I want to see 3:10 to Yuma. I watched Geddo Senkai. It was OK. Lacked the depth of previous Ghibli movies though, guess Miyazaki junior is still learning. The first act was great and the closest to the source material. The third act was a bit meh and deviated the most. I still pray that one day a faithful adaptation of Earthsea will be made, as there are so many amazing scenes in those books that scripwriters just seem to ignore. I also watched The Host. I liked it, although it's pretty odd. The whole film feels (appropriately) slippery - one moment it's a genuinely scary horror movie, next it's a parody of horror movies, next moment it's an full-out off-beat comedy with political satire. And then it scares you again.

The answer to all of the above questions is "yes". Even the hidden ones.

Well, Toblix can't really comment on Rez until he's tried it. Try it. Go on.

Yeah the sneaking sections are tedious. And then sometimes they turn into 3D platform-sneaking, a double whammy. The shooting bits feel almost like a reward for completing them. Last I played it, I got to a massive horseback chase, where I was chasing a wagon and shooting other guys on horses. It was nicely done and pretty thrilling, but also really hard. Also, yeah, not even an off-screen blowjob, I felt really let down edit: you do know the way the game works right? That there are two different charcters that you play: Billy who sneaks and climbs, and preacher guy who growls and shoots people. Generally you first sneak through an area, and then you play through the same area or one close-by, shooting all the bastards you had to sneak past.

Divulge you secrets here, go on. Spaff and I have been talking about a possible evil-themed game for a while as well. It was that which spawned my associated ideas about procedurally controlled social systems... which I'm not ready to discuss fully yet

There are conceivable workarounds, such as a proxy site that has paid for good bandwidth, that will route low-bandwidth sites through itself so you can get them faster. Such a site would need to have a source of funding though.

Anyone got anything non-fictitious to say about it?

See above.

WTF, is babillion the new official number of Idle thumbs or something? "This show was brought to you by the number babillion, and the letter omega-prime"

Well, being perfectly in time will also give you a perfect score. And the higher your score gets the more the game "evolves".

The last word made me lol. I feel pretty much the same way he does about the Tomb Raider series regarding controls.

The thing about Rez is that you can't watch a video of it, or even watch another person playing it. You have to play it for youself to really get it. It's all about the infinite feedback loop between man and machine.
