  1. Didactic Thumbs (Pedantry Corner)

    Actually no, I have another thread for that...
  2. General Video Game Deals Thread

    In fact, if anyone wants to somehow give me some unwanted gems in the next 90 minutes so I can get one fricking game out of this thing, that'd be nice!
  3. Day of the Tentacle Special Edition

    Yeah, I mean, I guess it should be possible to have animations with more frames running in one version and still be able to swap over, for example. I'm not saying they would have to compromise in order to include the swap function, just that I hope they don't!
  4. Jurassic World: Wasting away in Margaritaville

    Not in the car, not in the car!
  5. Movie/TV recommendations

    I seem to have missed it. Thankfully I own it on DVD and have seen it a about a billion times.
  6. Didactic Thumbs (Pedantry Corner)

    That was what reminded me to ask the question! But I thought you might have meant the series as a whole was a deep dive... Another one. When you lot write something like this: Do you mean that "ugh" in a "it's so good, I hate it" emo disaffected teen kind of way, or a "it's so wonderful!" sighing dreamily kind of way?
  7. Day of the Tentacle Special Edition

    Their official images have called it Special Edition - it seems that the "Remastered" confusion is wholly down to Polygon. But it's still all very ambiguous as to what the extent of it will be. I hope they include the original version (though I already own it), but also that they don't compromise the new version in order to incorporate a MI:SE style F5-to-switch function.
  8. Didactic Thumbs (Pedantry Corner)

    Okay, so people have started using "deep drill" or "deep dive". As far as I can tell, it is supposed to describe a thorough examination or discussion of a (usually narrow) topic and all its facets. Is that right? Because people seem to have already started using it to refer to any discussion that goes on for more than two points - has this neologism become dead to language in record time?
  9. Cartoons!

    Hooray, Adventure Time seasons 3 and 4 are up on Netflix (although you can only get all the episodes if you live in Sweden, Denmark or Brazil)!
  10. Hatred: The Most Despicable Game of All Time?

    But the Doug Lombardi quote to eurogamer that Pepyri posted ("Based on what we've seen on Greenlight we would not publish Hatred on Steam. As such we'll be taking it down") suggests that they've changed their minds and they would publish it, so they've put it back on Greenlight...
  11. What are the must-see TV series?

    Well, if we're all doing multiple titles (I'll try not to repeat): Magnum pi Fawlty Towers Red Dwarf 1-6 Filthy, Rich And Catflap Breaking Bad Young Ones South Park Father Ted Brass Eye I'm Alan Partridge season 1 Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge Person Of Interest The Larry Sanders Show Wonder Showzen Powerpuff Girls Firefly Fringe (especially 1-3, though 4-5 are still strong) Hancock's Half Hour League Of Gentlemen Psychoville Curb Your Enthusiasm Battlestar Galactica Big Train Frasier Justified Batman '66 Batman TAS Third Rock From The Sun Impractical Jokers Adventure Time West Wing Flight Of The Conchords Supernatural 1-5 Black Mirror Peep Show 1-2 The Smell Of Reeves & Mortimer Castle The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy The Tick (animated) ER King Of The Hill Jackass The Sarah Silverman Program and, of course, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
  12. Plug your shit

    When you said any feedback would be appreciated, you probably should have mentioned which suggestions you would and wouldn't listen to...
  13. Life

    I tried coming up with an anagram to match Hi-Score, but I just couldn't get there. You have saga, halo, hero in there, but I couldn't get anything to fit. So I'll just say congrats!
  14. Movie/TV recommendations

    You know they did a new Conan film in 2011 with Jason Momoa, right?
  15. I Had A Random Thought...

    Good job those black cows didn't make their way to Ferguson, they probably would have been shot for violently protesting.
  16. Plug your shit

    Yep, i agree.
  17. Ah, that's a handy guide, thanks tberton. Plus it has a Time Gentlemen, Please! plug in it, and it linked me to a good Twine game hosting site!
  18. No, Mangela's was the story of Braid. Mine was the story of The Big Lebowski.
  19. Maybe Wario has to rescue the kidnapped Wapeach, but at the end it turns out she was visiting friends of hers in Palm Springs, just picked up and left, never bothered to tell him.
  20. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Ahhh, that's great. Pretty much metalheads seeing that it's bullshit and declaring themselves as left-wing liberals, and a handful of GGers trying to give them "objective" summaries of GG, getting told to fuck off and then claiming that SJWs are brigading the thread.
  21. General Video Game Deals Thread

    It looks like there is only one copy available per auction, and everyone's bid gets carried over to the next auction, so my hopes of getting something with 600 gems are looking pretty slim...
