  1. Oblivion

    The store said they'd get it tomorrow, on wednesday, so I'm psyched.
  2. Gdc 2006

    Oooooooooh.
  3. Snakes on a Plane: OFFICIAL TRAILER

    Oh wow, that snake coming out of the woman's bosom... awesome! I'd really like to see what effect this movie has on other movies though. If it's a success, what are the odds that other movies will purposely adapt a stupid/hilarious name as well just to attract instant public appeal? Will there be a future clause in the contracts of actors that they have to defend some wacky bit of the movie because that was 'the reason' they took the job? I don't doubt the sincerity of Snakes on a Plane, but I'd doubt abything that comes after this one with a similar story.

    What's that bit about Ron Gilbert on the fact of the moment? What does that mean, a mushroomswish?
  5. Knighthoods for three game designers

    Shigsy looks like he's a little boy. I love it, he seems so genuinely having fun with his life.
  6. Sony's hyperbolic machine strikes again

    That awesome! 4D! The NEW virtual reality!!
  7. Flow in Games

    I don't know, I was fascinated all the way. The fighting wasn't really strategic or soemthing, but the atmosphere. Wow.
  8. Flow in Games

    Yes, after eating up my evil twin I kind of lacked an ending... but it was an exercise in beauty :")
  9. Shipping Mishaps

    So you sold someone a copy of Psychonauts that didn't have one of the cd's? That seems like a cruel thing to do. Are you a charlatan?
  10. Shipping Mishaps

    I believe my order from DF was marked as a gift.
  11. Favorite Zelda

    I liked the travelling. That palpable wind in the sail, the wonderful variant of the overworld Zelda theme... when travelling is this good, I'll take no less of it. I loved that in Shadow of the Colossus as well; just riding around to your destination in a beautiful landscape. When a game can bring me something like that with such momentous atmosphere, I always enjoy it.
  12. Shipping Mishaps

    Lucky bastard. It's always good when company fuckups happen to you. Baseless complaining also helps. For instance, I noticed a flicker in one of the cinematics on my Warcraft III DVD, so I notified Blizzard in France and after a while they sent me the Diablo II DVD as compensation. Score!
  13. Pschonaughts

    Could you please spell the name of the designer of pschonaughts for us? Just kidding, lad ^_~
  14. Favorite Zelda

    I haven't played all of them, but The Windwaker would probably be my favourite for reasons of setting, atmosphere and visual style. Also, it was on the easy side, so Miyamoto and his team wisely decided for once to abandon the at times frustratingly challenging design ethics of Ocarina and Majora. In both of the latter two games there was a period in the middle where I just completely lost interest. In Ocarina I prevailed and finally finished it, but majora sadly bit the dust in the third temple out of no-fun difficulty. Windwaker, on the other hand, completely captivated me with its wonderfully magical and fun setting, playful design and laudable first steps towards some more in-depth interactivity with the many NPC's (which is in my opinion tragically lacking in most Zelda games, coming across as shallow to me).
  15. Headsmiley contest, post 'em here

    Speaking of kicking ass, where's the entry showing an animated Chuck Norris doing a roundhouse kick?
  16. Headsmiley contest, post 'em here

    I supremely disagree. I don't find him interesting at all, but then neither do I watch 24.
  17. Game designer publicity photos

    ,,I'm the backwards man, the backwards man, nobody can talk as fast as I can!"
  18. Game designer publicity photos

    I love the intense oversaturation of Lord British's picture.
  19. Game designer publicity photos

    Garrett is win! I don't know who it is, but it's WIN!
  20. Knighthoods for three game designers

    Could we please not bring up Jack Thompson in conversation anymore? I know it's nice to bash him and all, but it's really just getting annoying as he's being associated with every single aspect of gaming. I call for a forumwide ignoring of the man and his every action. That said; yay for France!
  21. I never thought I'd see the day...

    Simple; he wants to build a legendary status around him to be remembered as a great president. So these last few years he'll devote to doing something 'great'. It's not out of atonement for his sins and lies and most definitely not because he actually cares or anything. It's common practice.
  22. Just how awesome is the DS Lite?

    Hey cool, you were at the meetup? I think it's awesome that Ron does this sort of thing, flying over to Europe for business or pleasure and then arranging a meeting with fans. That's just super.
  23. Just how awesome is the DS Lite?

    I think this is an appropriate topic to mention that the DS is my favourite console ever. (I know it's a handheld.)
  24. Just how awesome is the DS Lite?

    There's still plenty of love for the bulky DS in THIS house, I will tell you. Me and my girl have ordered our seperate mothers to create stunning little coats for our DSes. They will rock our worlds.
