  1. Have you got Pac-Man Fever?

    I don't have Pac-Man fever. However I did enjoy the very well-constructed Pacman Vs. for the Gamecube. Connectivity people. It can work.
  2. in-movie question about Shaun

    I'm guessing it would work if you'd chop of the infected part before it would reach other parts. The theory is that you don't become a zombie because you get bitten. You die because you're bitten, and then whatever mysterious voodoo is running amock in the world changes your corpse into a zombie. As for the biting part: we see zombies getting extraordinary strenght in some movies. This strength would also be in the jaw, making it possible for zombies to rip through anything. Besides, zombies don't bite, they tear your flesh off. Damn I'm having fun discussing zombie-lore.
  3. in-movie question about Shaun

    In the original Dawn of the Dead, it was all about warm human flesh. You wouldn't be able to stagger around and fool a zombie; he'd feel you were alive. And it also reasons that a zombie could theoretically eat a whole man. He will be dead at that point (I don't know the incubationtime for a zombie), but it will take some time before the flesh turns cold. And as long as it's warm, I guess the zombie will eat it. But I think it'll differ from film to film, and in the end it doesn't really matter

    Any excuse to bring up Hot Shots! will do

    I don't know Counterstrike, but -- facial expressions on chicken? What is this, Hot Shots?!
  6. The Urbz forum mini-preview

    I'm still unconvinced, but that may change. I'm not necessarily heading towards an I Already Hate It position, but I'm keeping with my initial scepsis.

    Yes, it supports PHP. But my brain does not. I've heard from a lot of sources that PHP is the way to go for sites and webcomics in general, and I sort of know how it could benefit me so I could just upload a new comic instead of creating a whole new html-page. But since it's entirely alien and as of yet incomprehensible to me, I'm hesitant to dig into it...

    To prevent people from accessing it altogether? Like I said, I don't know a lot about these sort of scripts...

    And here I was completely underestimating my audience. Thanks, I've deleted the Future Pages. I just didn't figure anyone would be browsing my server unconventionally

    Friends, the new strip is online! For page four of Captain August, compell your browsers towards http://www.captainaugust.com! (Tanukitsune, I haven't received an answer from Comic Alert! yet. I'm still hoping and waiting )
  11. Holy Moly, or how valve wants my soul

    Here I go again: I payed 90 euros for the Warcraft 3 collector's edition, and I thought it was fairly priced (this was no small box, more closely resembling a ton indeed). I can't speak for HL2 of course. If I look at the Bronze version, I am pleased though. 40 euros for a new game of this magnitude. Now that's a price that I would deem reasonable for any new game, instead of the usual 60.

  13. I am 'blacking out' Psychonauts!

    Tim Shafer is God. But I shall join you, Intrepid Homoludens! From now on, I'll only glance occasionally at the game when a screenshots happens to drift by, but no more readings on it, actively browsing websites or perusing analytic texts on the subject! And promising myself to judge the game on its own merits, whatever they may be!
  14. in-movie question about Shaun

    It isn't I think I already got the gist when Ed said that bit, even without commentary track. Damn this movie is good.
  15. Since I have them on video I'll be able to hold it out for a long time yet. Not out of spite, but I'm on a tight budget here. That said, the box looks amazing, with Vader on it with a light and a dark side. And no matter what you think of the new movies, the old trilogy is still superb moviestuff. It really hit the right note, whether Han shoots first or not.
  16. Happy birthday Erkki!!

    Congratzz!

    I mailed them, hopefully they'll reply soon. The system sounds good, I hope this will attract more readers (even thought there are over 6,000 different comics over there
  18. Captain August launches

    Of course! I've read through it and it sounds good =) How does this work then? Should I submit my webcomic to them myself, or will you simply be the enthusiast reader who desperately wants to add a webcmoic to the list? Will others be able to see it as well?
  19. Captain August launches

    If I notice it's going well, I may speed things up more. But for now there's little reason. Best to first let as many people possible acquainte themselves with the strip before bombing everything with comics. And this is also a better transition so I can get used to the whole concept

    White Ninja has to grow on you. It'll take a dozen comics before you get into the right mindset Don't forget to check out my comic as well

    I'm quite the layman when it comes to webdesign, so I wouldn't know why that is. The site certainly doesn't use fancy tricks, it's all standard html, gif's and thousand-year-old code. If it doesn't work with Firefox, I'm afraid that it's out of clumsy neglect from Mozilla =(

    Thank you both It occurs to me that if we preach this thing hard enough, in a thousand years it may become the dominant religion in the world! Hurrah!
  23. Majesco promotion for Bloodrayne

    You can pcik it up REAL cheap in some stores nowadays. I'm talking about 10 euros cheap. I've played it too, and it seemed exhaustingly mediocre in the levels I played. Which really raises the question why there's all of a sudden such a ludicrous hype surrounding the sequel? Surely the first game wasn't such a success? I first favoured Bloodrayne because it seemed to have kind of an underdog feel, but this then appears to destroy even that last redeeming feature
